Can we talk about it?

Yes. I am very happy to talk about things many people consider private or not up for discussion. It comes naturally to me and it can be really helpful for this work. I was born with a different social filter. Silence around certain topics doesn’t always serve people.

Silence does protect frameworks.

There is a striking overlap between things we learn not to talk about and the very issues that leave people feeling most alone: sexual experience, divorce, miscarriage, gender stereotypes, trauma, and relationships that need to change or end as we grow.

I’m not a therapist. I’m not bound by the rules they must observe around self-disclosure. But I am a thoughtful and deliberate communicator. I use the freedom of my unique role as an educator with discernment. I bring these topics into my work when they are relevant and useful. If you’ve ever connected with another person who has walked a similar path, you already know that recognition is powerful. Speaking openly about what emerges in our human experience is always an option here.
