"I don't need you." My guy friends have told me how often they've heard women say words like that. Or maybe we haven't said them, but we've signaled through our actions to the men in our lives, that we don't need them. They've likely been spoken in a moment of defensiveness or protectiveness, but they've hit their target and done more harm than we realize. This week I want to take a beat and explore what I believe is beneath "I don't need you," take responsibility for what that's done, and pave a new path forward that is mutually respectful and nurturing. Women, I believe if we want the men in our world to further ground in their purpose, part of our work is to let our shields down and stop with the pretense that we don't need them. Of course we need one another... we're made for Love. Men, we do need you. Also... we want you (real bad)! Thank you for the presence, depth, and awareness you're bringing to the world. I hope this message helps ground you in your truth and purpose. xx - Jen
