I’m back in NYC now from Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas — and there’s one woman from the cruise who has stayed with me.

We were all there for a mastermind.

A group of thoughtful, growth-oriented people who value connection, depth, and intention.

This woman was part of a couple — a couple I had actually helped facilitate the introduction for before the cruise.

They had spent time together prior to the trip.

And what struck me wasn’t just that she was in a relationship — it was how she held herself inside it.

She enjoyed being with him.

She chose time with him.

There was warmth, affection, and ease between them.

And… she didn’t lose herself.

She had clear boundaries around her time.

She wanted time with her friends.

She wanted time in the mastermind conversations.

She wanted time with me.

And she honored all of it — without apology, without tension, without making it mean anything about the relationship.

She didn’t reorganize her entire experience around her partner.

She didn’t collapse her world to prove closeness.

She didn’t disappear into “we.”

And here’s the part that matters most:

The relationship didn’t suffer because of it.

It thrived because of it.

Watching her was such a powerful reminder of what healthy love actually looks like.

Not fusion.

Not self-sacrifice.

Not choosing someone else over yourself.

But connection with boundaries.

Closeness with individuality.

Love that adds — not replaces.

And I couldn’t help but think about how many women I work with want exactly this…

but are afraid it isn’t possible for them.

Whether you’ve been divorced or never married, the fear underneath is often the same:

“If I let myself love again, will I lose the woman I worked so hard to become?”

What this woman embodied — so naturally — is the answer.

You don’t lose yourself because you’re in a relationship.

You lose yourself when you don’t know how to stay anchored while you’re in one.

That’s the skill.

That’s the work.

And that’s what I teach.

On February 5, I’m hosting my Love Accelerated Masterclass, where I’ll show you how to date and create a loving, long-term relationship without disappearing inside it.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about learning how to love from the woman you already are.

And if you already know you’ll have questions about your specific situation — your history, your patterns, or how to create a relationship that honors your life — there will be an option to upgrade to a VIP experience.

In the VIP session, I’ll answer questions live, go deeper into personal dynamics, and I’m including a special bonus designed to help you create meaningful connections while keeping your boundaries, your priorities, and your sense of self intact.

It’s completely optional.

But it’s there for women who want clarity, not just information.

If this resonates, I’d love to have you with me.

Hugs,
