PULSE PODCAST is exclusive to my paid community here on substack. If you are a free subscriber you may have “tasters” available such as a 4 minute segment of a 24 minute episode.
You can upgrade your subscription below to paid to be apart of a community of people interested in expanding their relationships into a place of thriving and exploration, have access to all full episodes, my in depth ongoing archive for Liberating Love, as well as bi-monthly live community zoom call & qna session here on substack.

I was:
Working and providing financially.
Cutting down work hours to have our family time
Taking Rafi (my son) more to give her more space
Doing the majority of the domestics so she could feel nourished and have a safe space to relax.
I was taking care of her.
I was providing for her on a number of levels.
