How To Have Difficult Conversations, and Timmy Thomas (and Sade)
Hey friend,
I deeply value your attention and time, so this message will be brief.
Our liberation, our capacity to embody the presence of joy, love, openness, and compassion, is woven together.

Healthy boundaries offer us containers in order to create relationships that are truly nourishing. Expressing our needs, and concern for each other is something we will always continue to learn. It is unavoidable that we will have challenging conversations in order to co-create an environment where collective liberation is possible.
