Description: In today's episode, I'm talking about the phone call I got from a friend in the middle of a breakup — and why the most important question I asked her was the one she hadn't thought to ask herself: "What do you want?"  I share what fawning actually is, why it's one of the most overlooked trauma responses, and how it shows up in our relationships when things get painful.  We'll explore why wanting something for yourself isn't selfish — it's necessary — and how you can hold your power in conflict without losing your compassion. Question to carry into your day: What are you making yourself small in right now — and what would it look like to take up your full space? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
