Ep. 22 - The Feminine Art of Receiving Gracefully with James Mattingley

Do you struggle to receive? Do you wish your partner did more thoughtful things for you?

In this joint episode with my husband, James Mattingley, I share about the biggest gift I’ve ever received - and what it’s taught me about the art of giving & receiving in romantic relationships.

James recently spent several months renovating my office! And in that process, I learned so much about the voices in my head that block my receiving  (“Do I deserve this? I don’t need anything so beautiful…”), as well as the magic I saw in my relationship when I opened to receive this gift graciously.

By sharing this story of learning to receive more fully, I hope you get a golden nugget for yourself around what it means to receive, what stands in the way, and how to open more fully to the love that is, always, all around.
