Register for my March 29th Masterclass: For the High-Achiever Who Struggles in Dating

Here's something I hear a lot from my clients:

"I know this sounds terrible, but it's just really hard to be around my friends with kids right now" —  no, it doesn't sound terrible. It's actually very, very normal.

That's where we're digging in today.

I'm sharing why the impulse to shut down these feelings is actually making things worse, and what it looks like to let them breathe so you can move through them with clarity instead of staying stuck in a loop of comparison and pain.

In this episode, I'm talking about:

• Why labeling your feelings as "mean" or "wrong" actually works against you

• How to turn your full emotional landscape — rage, sadness, loneliness, all of it — into real insight

• Practical ways to honor what you need right now, without blowing up your friendships

• The question that matters more than "How do I make a relationship happen?"

• Why suppressing your pain around your friends and your longing for what they have actually makes it worse

I'm also sharing a personal story from my own 30s, when the desire for a family felt like a weight I didn't know how to carry — and what finally helped me move through it.

Your desires deserve to take up space. Let's talk about why you keep making them smaller.
