Reserve Your Seat - It's Free!

Have you ever spent far longer writing an email, preparing for a conversation, or explaining a simple decision than seemed reasonable? Perhaps you've rehearsed every possible response, softened what you really wanted to say, apologized before you've even spoken, or wondered how to make sure everyone else will be okay. Over time, that way of relating becomes exhausting. In this live Masterclass, we'll explore another possibility. Together we'll recognize where we leave ourselves in order to preserve connection, begin distinguishing genuine care from over-responsibility, and discover that it is possible to know what is true for us, communicate it with care, and remain connected to ourselves without taking responsibility for another person's response.

What You'll Walk Away With

Four Shifts That Change Everything

I have to abandon myself to remain in relationship
People may believe that maintaining a personal, professional or community relationship requires them to set aside what they know, need, feel or want. The Masterclass introduces the possibility that connection does not have to require self-abandonment.

I am responsible for how another person feels or responds
A person can be considerate, respectful and compassionate without assuming responsibility for another adult’s reaction, disappointment, discomfort, interpretation or well-being. Caring about someone is different from believing it is your job to make sure they are always comfortable.

If my clarity creates discomfort, I must have done something wrong
Another person’s discomfort does not automatically mean the boundary was wrong, the communication was unkind or the relationship is in danger. Sometimes discomfort occurs because an established pattern is changing. Being true to yourself may feel uncomfortable to someone who is accustomed to you accommodating, pleasing, appeasing or abandoning yourself.

Saying "No" damages connection
Many people believe that saying "No" is selfish, rejecting, unkind or harmful to the relationship. In reality, a clear and honest "No" can create more authentic connection than a reluctant "Yes" given out of fear, obligation or self-abandonment. The Masterclass explores how it is possible to communicate a genuine "No" with care, remain connected to yourself, and allow the relationship to rest on honesty rather than accommodation.
