I Danced at a WNBA Game And It Got Me Thinking
A few weeks ago, I got to do something completely outside my normal life: I danced on the court at a WNBA game.
With a group of women I dance with. In front of a whole lot of people. And I loved it.
It was ridiculously fun to be out there! Here’s a little peek at me on the Jumbotron:
Doing this last Saturday night made me think about something I see all the time in my work.
When you're struggling in a relationship, it can become very easy for your world to shrink and to get very obsessive around the struggle.
You think about what they said. What you should say. What happened yesterday. What might happen tomorrow. If they are a narcissist. Why communication is so hard. Whether things can change. Whether you should stay. Whether you should go. Why things can't be amicable.
And before you know it, the relationship chaos has taken up so much space in your head and heart that there isn't much room left for your own clarity.
This is a big part of the work I do with people.
I help you step out of the constant swirl of the relationship (or the never-ending divorce process) long enough to hear yourself again. I love helping people get grounded, get clear, and figure out what they want and need. With that stabilized, you can create next steps for your relationship or divorce that make much more sense.
Because the goal isn’t always to fix the relationship.
Sometimes, it’s simply about reclaiming your own perspective and learning a new way to live in it.
And sometimes, 15 years after your divorce, finding your way back to yourself looks like dancing on a basketball court.
Apparently, I'm still figuring out what it all looks like, too. 🩷
