Yes, there are stresses that are going to push us to our edge, but as long as we have the flexibility to not get stuck in that state and to down-regulate,

you are resilient and you can navigate these things.

So I think the lie at the moment that I'm seeing a lot of is that we want to calm ourselves down.

And I don't know if that's the kind of humans that we want to be, like these automatons that are just like super calm, navigating a world that is like on fire at the moment.

No, we want to be angry.

We want to be responding.

We want to be able to take action.

But as long as we are not getting stuck in those states.

Who are they?

So Damien is my husband, my partner in life.

We have been together for a decade now and Scout is our toddler.

Actually at Muay Thai.

We met at the gym and we spied each other.

Is that metaphoric or actual?

No, no, no.

So just for reference, I'm 5'5 and Damien is 6'3 and we sparred each other.

So I was quite aggressive.

I was coming at him and he just stuck his punch out and punched me in the nose.

And, you know, I just thought he was a really, really nice person.

Like he was in a relationship and I was in a relationship.
