Relationships are never easy but even more challenging to navigate when yours is under a microscope. Did I ask for it this way? Yes. I made a career out of my divorce- so it was MY decision. But when I met my boyfriend, Jim, I'm not quite sure HE came fully prepared for the "lime-light."
It's been an incredible five years, with high-highs and low-lows- like most couples; we have had our fair share of "shit." But Covid tested us; my auto-immune disease, close quarters, it all took its toll.
And last November, I ended things, and we were both wrecked.
Why am I sharing all this? Being vulnerable is what I preach, so I felt it was essential to practice it. And after some time apart (and some work), Jim and I got back together. Even coaches need coaching, y'all! I'm good at helping other people and their relationships, but why couldn't I figure out my own? Frustrating, right?
Wrong. It's okay. It's okay to be vulnerable, to need help from others...to do the work and get back together when you have a solid foundation worth fighting for. We do. And we are here to share our journey and struggles- so we can help others do the same.
Please be kind. It wasn't easy; I've asked a lot from Jim. He's putting himself out there, and while we LOVE to laugh (it's our favorite thing to do), it was tough to lay all our shit on the table.
Please, WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION on YOUTUBE! It's so good. You get to see our faces and expressions, which is best if you ask me. You're not, but I'm telling you anyway! Haha.
Love you all, and we appreciate any POSITIVE FEEDBACK you have for us. I will delete negative comments. No one should be judging- this took a whole lot of chutzpah. Thank you, Jim Healey, for taking the time for my listeners and me, for taking my "coaching," and loving me when I broke your heart. I promise never to do it again.
Peace, love, and truth
