Jonah’s newsletter reflections last week were vulnerable and had me reflecting on the shadowy parts of myself and patterns that have played out in my life: people pleasing, perfectionism, overcommitting, busyness, overwhelm, self criticism and criticism of others, judgement… the list goes on, really.

Motherhood continues to crush these patterns— the slowness that’s been required of this journey has quieted the people pleaser and busy body. The constant mess has helped me soften my perfectionist (it’s nearly impossible to keep up with). Other mamas have helped me soften and release criticism and judgement. It’s a continuous journey over here but I have to be very real with myself and what’s practical each day.

It’s so important to know our WHY for why we give. Is it from a place of desire or obligation? Joy and excitement or pleasing others? I have to ask myself these questions often…

Sometimes the fastest path forward is having someone walk beside you who can help you see what you can’t on your own. That is what coaching did for me.

It helped me build relationships where I get to show up as my full, messy, fun-loving, occasionally aloof self. And my loved ones meet me there.

If you are curious, let’s talk. I currently have space for one-on-one coaching clients.

I am on day 9 of an extended water fast – no food, juices, or supplements/medications – just distilled water.

I’ve chosen this for many personal reasons, and one of the pressing ones was because I knew it would be hard.

Trust me, many times leading up to this I questioned if I was a little crazy for it. One of the fascinating things about this experience is witnessing my mind negotiate what the experience would be like, and now that I’m in it, how I can bend the rules just a little. Thank goodness for my wife, for encouraging me to follow the protocol I’ve been given.

In the process, I have noticed some things about myself that I find interesting. First of all, I don’t like feeling boredom. It makes me a little stir crazy, and I realize I have room for developing my capacity for this feeling. Second, my skin and body are already changing. Less inflammation, improvements in my complexion and an overall glow are present even though my energy stays low. This makes me think that perhaps the conveniences and comforts of my life are not kind to me.

Finally, I have awareness that life comes with pain, but that pain can be purposeful or accidental. This experience has me choosing discipline over regret. Growth over stagnation. Both paths involve difficulty, but I’m choosing the type of pain I want. 

… Where in your life are you being invited into purposeful discomfort?

I invite you to notice the next moment of discomfort you experience. Don’t just reach for relief – pause, take a breath. Sit with it for at least 60 seconds and notice how it feels in your body. Ask yourself what you want to do about it and whether the action is reaching for growth or avoidance. 

Personally, I have built a life with a lot of comforts. And it has cost me depth, connection, and self-respect. Comfort has cost me far more than discomfort ever has.

These days, I choose to lean in.

In my Men’s Group last week, the facilitator asked something that struck me.. “What is your relationship like with discomfort?” I sat with that question for a while.. There are so many layers to explore.

Honestly, my relationship with discomfort hasn’t been great. Does anybody actually enjoy it? I can point to many moments in my adult life I have taken the easy route, leaned into whatever felt most comfortable, or avoided whole parts of my life because they were uncomfortable.

Here is a short list:

• Scrolling my phone as a distraction

• Saying “I’ll do it later” when I feel overwhelmed

• Avoiding hard conversations with people I love because they feel awkward, vulnerable, or scary

• Using gratitude to suppress my grief or my anger so I don’t have to feel it

Each of these has come at a cost. The short term relief hasn’t held a candle to the long term consequences. Dopamine addiction, frustration with myself, and ugly resentment are just a few of those repercussions. Some of these patterns  have eroded my self-trust, replaced intimacy with disconnection, let unprocessed emotions leak out sideways as frustration or numbness, and led me to live a smaller life than I want. The cost of becoming someone I don’t respect is not worth it.

Lately, I’ve  been looking at discomfort through a different lens. Where it once felt like a threat, I am learning  to recognize it as a signal. When my discomfort activates my nervous system, I know there is valuable information within it. The question is:  will I lean in and learn, or will I use my strategy to avoid, ignore, and distract myself?

Maybe the awkward conversation leads to deeper intimacy with my wife or a friend. Maybe allowing myself to feel grief gives me access to even deeper love. Perhaps my overwhelm is informing me that I need boundaries or that I need to slow down and regulate.

Jonah and I had a heated conversation recently after the baby was asleep that led to discussion of fears that Jonah had about having children and the potentiality of losing ‘us’ in the family dynamic. So many relationships revolve solely around the children once the baby arrives and prior to having Daphne, we were well aware of this and committed that we would continue to prioritize and invest in the two of us no matter what.

That has proven to be quite difficult in real time and our once a month 1:1 connection wasn’t enough for us. We miss each other and it was showing. 

It’s not easy. We have arguments. We feel the stress of running a household and raising a family. We feel the pressure to ‘do it right’. We’re exhausted most days. Yet, I’m grateful that we both have the capacity and willingness to show up for the repair and reconnection when we feel like it’s been lost.

Like a phone losing the wifi signal, sometimes it needs to be turned off and back on and probably plugged into a charger. We all need to get plugged back in every once in a while (including our relationships).

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to do that for us. We enjoyed a date day for just the two of us, complete with: a coffee date, walk in the park, workout and sauna session. I feel so much better. Daphne can feel it I’m sure, too. 

What do you do to plug yourself and your relationships back in after the connection has been lost?

We’d love to hear from you!
