When I met @sangodarewallace I was TERRIFIED to open my heart to love again after what I had been through. And yet, my soul knew that love was my path to healing. We designed our eight week cohort TRUST FALL as a supportive space for LOVEBIRDS who are seeking divine partnership grounded in a deepened compassion for yourself. A sweet flock of lovebirds has already signed up. We start in less than a week on Oct 19th! And as soon as you sign up you can access our past Lovebirds videos to get in the spirit! And if you want to add direct coaching with us, you can! Link is in the bio. I love you (I learned how by loving me!)
