Love is not a fairytale, it’s a mirror.
Next week, William and I will celebrate 8 years of marriage and 10 years of being together. We’ve been through a lot - the highs, the lows, the growing pains - and I can honestly say that our relationship has been one of my greatest teachers.
I was raised on the idea of happily ever after - the all-consuming love that completes you, the one that sweeps you off your feet and somehow keeps you there. But real love… real love asks something different of us. It asks us to grow. To confront the parts of ourselves we’ve neglected. To hold a mirror to our patterns, our wounds, our expectations.
Relationships are not here to make us feel good all the time, they’re here to make us AWARE. They awaken what’s been sleeping in us. They reveal where we still cling, where we fear, where we close our hearts.
Being in relationship, truly in it, means facing your own reflection, over and over again. It’s humbling. It’s uncomfortable. And yet, it’s where the deepest healing happens.
I’ve been blessed to share my life with someone who is committed to his own growth, who, like me, uses every challenge as an invitation to look within rather than to blame or withdraw. We’ve learned that it’s not personal… it’s a reflection.
Love is not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about two people choosing, again and again, to meet each other - and themselves - with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.
Here’s to the beautiful, messy, transformative journey of love - the kind that stretches us into becoming more whole 💗
So much of the work I do with clients comes back to this truth, that our wounds are relational, and so is our healing. Every trigger, every tension, every unmet need is an opportunity to come home to ourselves. If you feel called to explore this deeper, I’m currently taking new 1:1 clients.
