Why We Struggle to Receive

Why do we struggle so much sometimes to receive?  To receive compliments, to receive kindness, to receive love, or to receive help when we need it?  The topic of reception is an important one, because our inability to receive contributes to an imbalance that cuts us off from the constant flow and exchange of energy that takes place when there's a true balance between giving and receiving.  But women and mothers I know can be so challenged in their ability to receive - and they've developed ways to block it, sabotage it or even distrust it.  What is your relationship like to receiving and how can we learn to embrace the act of receiving? Let's explore this together in today's episode!

Parenting can lead us to a threshold in life we hadn’t known before. We're bringing into the parenting dynamic with our kids the momentum of our previous experiences - our resources and resilience, as well as our disconnection and disembodiment due to trauma (individual, familial, cultural, historical & intergenerational).  Beyond the challenges we face to parent in ways we may not have been parented, there is a deep love for our children that wants to be expressed and known in presence with them. There's also a yearning in us to experience that deep love ourselves; to feel our power and to live authentically, just as we yearn to protect that for our kids, too. The urgency to heal what's still alive within us might come up with a force because of them, and yet it's ultimately a reclamation of our life force, vitality, joy, connection and creativity we're most hungry for. It’s sometimes a desire bold as love that fuels our courage to meet what we fear to face.
