And in our society and culture, we think that's a good thing.

Like we often reward that.

We reward the independence of

We reward that you're a self-made woman, you can do whatever you need, all that kind of stuff.

Yet what it doesn't do is it doesn't allow us to be taken care of sometimes.

It doesn't allow the vulnerability.

Like they're the things that you then have to work on.

Has that been challenging for you to soften into that, to allow yourself to be taken care of, to not have to do it all?

Yeah, I really relate to what you're saying.

And I think I definitely want to touch on the boundaries in a second.

But I think one of the big things that, you know, I see in you and in me is, you know, we're out there doing stuff.

We make things happen.

We're doing it.

It's amazing.

And that's awesome.

And I love that because the fire in me is like, yeah.

And then when I come back home to Mike, I have to really work hard to put that down.

It's almost like that masculine driving energy.

I have to work to put that down to allow myself to be vulnerable and held.

Because what often will happen is if I'm, and I come back in, I'll kind of walk back in and I start like almost ordering stuff around and doing all the things.
