In this week’s episode of Love Is…, I’m unpacking something tender and true: the resistance we feel when someone offers us care, love, or support—and how it messes with our nervous systems.

We’re exploring:

• Why “I’ll do it myself” can feel safer than softness.
• The hidden cost of always being the strong one.
• And why learning to receive is actually the most radical relationship shift you can make.

I also share a story about a client who couldn’t orgasm with her partner because she couldn’t let go long enough to be fully present.

This episode is a loving nudge to invite more ease, more surrender, and more pleasure.
