It answered the thing I had been struggling with. The ruptures that hurt the most were the ones where I tried to offer opportunity for repair, but it was rejected. And I had been listening to this, wondering if somehow I was the problem, for not trying harder to maintain connection with people who felt they could never be wrong.
And I guess the answer is that I was not the right person to be in community with them at that time.
I can't thank you enough for these conversations on community, they are very timely for me ♥️
When you spoke of staying present through a raised voice, I had to chuckle, because my mentor in my field is extremely passionate about our work, and when she is explaining concepts, she shouts. Not because she's upset, but because she is SO enthusiastic. I spent the first year just trying not to break down crying when she would be shouting into my face, telling myself 'she's not mad at you, she's just excited' on loop. 😅
more replays please <3 I am not awake for the lives on the west coast
Just posted Fridays replay, I hope you enjoy 😊
always!
'sometimes people's egos are too big to exist in community'

😆 as a chronic yeller THANK YOU… I get very loud when I’m passionate and usually it will take someone reminding me I’m yelling and I’m like OH…
I am in a yelling phase myself. Love to all who yell because they care ♥️
