Disagreement and misunderstanding are both part of life, and a part of healthy relationships.
It happens.

And sometimes those moments are uncomfortable, but more than often not, with a little intention, patience, and care, we move through it. We come back together.

But there are many people who have experienced misunderstanding as disconnection (and perhaps even rejection).
Or disagreement created a rift that wasn't easily repaired, leaving uncertainty, pain, and loneliness in its wake.

And when that's been your experience, it makes sense that disagreement might feel like something you need to fix.

You might over-explain, add more context, or send just one more text.
Because somewhere along the way, the goal can shift from communicating clearly to getting the other person to understand, agree, or reassure you that the relationship is okay.

But sometimes you've communicated enough.
They heard you.
They understand your perspective.
They just don't agree.

And part of developing emotional maturity is learning that disagreement doesn't have to mean disconnection.
It's learning how to hold yourself in those moments,
so that you can stay connected with the other person, too.

We can disagree and misunderstand each other.
We can have different needs, feelings, and perspectives.

And we can learn how to stay connected — to ourselves and to each other — through the discomfort.

In the EQ School online community, that's what we're working on — slowing down, opening up, and creating a greater sense of safety within.

Because that will radiate out into every experience, relationship, and moment going forward.

If you're ready to not only learn tools, but do so in a community of intentional, reflective, and present people —
I hope you join us!

(and note that the founding rate of $59/mo will go up soon, but if you join now you keep that rate for as long as you're a member).

Be gentle with yourself —
if every time it seems like you've "figured it out,"
some new challenge presents itself.

Or a very similar challenge resurfaces, but with a new twist or from a place you thought was dialed in, stable, or safe.

It can be exhausting and feel relentless at times.
But that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.
Or that this difficulty is here because of some inherent flaw in you.

It's hard to be a person sometimes.
Many times, actually.
There are times when things flow easily,
and there are times when it feels incredibly difficult to do the day-to-day tasks required to keep us and our closest people afloat and alive.

And the work isn't in punishing or berating yourself for struggling,
or in becoming a person who isn't impacted by the ups and downs.

The work is in learning how to increase your capacity to stay with yourself in hard moments.
To give yourself grace and compassion,
while taking responsibility for what's yours.
To let yourself feel scared, angry, or deeply sad when those feelings arise,
and to trust that it won't always be this way.

To learn how to stay open —
to trust that if you give yourself the time to be present in this moment,
the next one will bring something different.
And sometimes, unfortunately, we get a few rough waves in a row.

And if that's where you are right now,
I hope you can give yourself a little grace.
Allow yourself to breathe and remind yourself that you're a human being,
and this is the first time you've encountered this exact moment.
You're allowed to feel how you feel,
and it won't always be this way.

This might sound simple, but when we have old patterns steeped in shame, self-judgment, and escape —
this practice can take time.

In the EQ School online community, that's what we're working on — slowing down, opening up, and creating a greater sense of safety within.
Because that will radiate out into every experience, relationship, and moment going forward.

If you're ready to not only learn tools, but do so in a community of intentional, reflective, and present people —
I hope you join us!
(and note that the founding rate of $59/mo will go up soon, but if you join now you keep that rate for as long as you're a member).
Hope to meet you there!

While there is often truth to the idiom, “actions speak louder than words,” it leaves a lot up to interpretation.
We’re assuming a story from someone’s behavior, and that can be a slippery slope.
(and we are always bringing our lens to their behavior, too).

In relationship, we don't want to make assumptions because we never fully know what’s going on in someone else’s head (or how their history is stopping them from showing up fully in the present).

But before we think about other people, I believe this is a wonderful filter to apply to YOURSELF first.

Do you do the things you say you’re going to do?
Do you follow through on your promises to yourself and others?
Do you repair when you break your promises?
Do say you want certain things from life but your behavior betrays completely different priorities?

Start with you.
When your words and actions align, you become a person of integrity, and you become someone YOU can trust - which can take some practice.
It’s not always easy to follow through on your dreams and promises, and it requires emotional maturity to adapt and continue when that thing doesn’t feel easy or all that exciting anymore.

And when you start following through on your promises to self, it becomes almost impossible to tolerate anything less from others.
Your standards go up, and your circle might get smaller at first, but it’s going to become a whole lot more grounded and reliable.

And, of course, use this metric with others, too.
Instead of trying to decode someone else’s behavior, just take note when it doesn’t match up with what’s being communicated, and ask about it (mirror with curiosity and not judgment!).
It feels SO GOOD in relationship to know you can count on someone to be honest - pay attention and let that be one of your guides.

The EQ School online community is a place to explore themes like this with other folks who are in the midst of the work.
Come explore the EQ School curriculum (I'll be adding to it for the new few months), do weekly practice exercises and answer reflection questions in small groups or pairs with other community members, and meet wonderful humans who care about deepening emotional maturity.

It's $59/mo right now to be a founder in the community, but the price will go up soon! Join now and you keep that rate for as long as you're a member.

There’s a lot AI can’t do.

We need each other.
We need community.
We need conflict, friction, discomfort, and stagnancy to help us grow, connect, and learn how to trust ourselves and each other.

We can’t optimize the human experience.
We can’t outsource the most important things to AI.
What else would you add to this list?

Where are my good listeners? You know what I'm talking about here.

This month's theme in the EQ School online community is "Being Seen," and it's a complex but incredibly important topic.

We all need to be seen, and different people can see and appreciate different parts of us at different times.
And some people have learned how to hold space for others in an instinctual kind of way — they seem to be "naturally" good listeners
(it's actually a skill they've learned and developed over time — sometimes out of pure necessity and survival).

They know how to ask the right questions, and perhaps just exude a sense of ease that makes it easy for other people to open up.
But when it comes to creating a deeper sense of connection and intimacy in relationship, it requires more than just one person opening up (or dumping) and the other listening.

Intimacy develops when *both parties* feel seen and known.
When both sides ask questions, check for understanding and consent, and take turns being the listener and space holder.

Just exposing intimate details does not equal intimacy.
Closeness develops over time,
as pacing is honored, consent is respected, and something new happens between both of you.

So if you often find yourself in this holding role and are deeply craving reciprocity —
you deserve to have someone who can see you, too.
Who can listen, ask deeper questions, and share the work of creating deeper connection.

And if this something you're working on (on either side!),
the EQ School online community provides opportunities to connect and practice with other folks doing the work, as well as access to my entire EQ library (I'm adding more each week).
The founders rate of $59 will end soon, but if you sign up now, you'll have this rate for the duration of your time in the community.

Who’s in this space right now?
Seeing your patterns but not quite ready or able to shift them yet?

This space can bring up a lot of emotion; grief, guilt, shame, and sometimes just pure exhaustion.
But I also want to remind you of how POWERFUL this space is.

You’re beginning to really SEE yourself, situations, patterns, and others with more nuance and depth.
You’re beginning to access different parts of yourself that have been quiet for a long time.
To see things that you once blended with.
You’re beginning to outgrow your old shell.

And that feels really uncomfortable because our brains like patterns and routine and safety because they keep us alive *right now,* even if those patterns and routines are slowly killing us in the long run.

But remember that that discomfort is a GOOD THING.
This in-between is a necessary step to get to the safety and comfort of new patterns and routines that bring you REAL safety, inner calm, and self-trust. (my workshop folk know this is stage 2!)

This next stage, creating the new patterns, does require you to do the work of trying new things on for size & paying attention to how they feel to YOU.
It requires teaching your brain through practice and repetition that we can find safety in connection, through vulnerability, and by listening to our own intuition.
It requires allowing yourself to sit with discomfort and change your inner narrative to help you learn how to feel your feelings and move through difficult moments, instead of avoiding them.

If this is where you are, I highly recommend joining the EQ School online community, where you'll have access to the EQ School curriculum, group meetings with me, and weekly opportunities to practice with others in the community.
That practice itself is invaluable.

Sign up now as a founding member and lock in your rate - it will increase as I add more to the community experience!

Yesterday we had our first new member orientation for the online EQ school community —
and it was so good!

Whenever I get on a call with this community, I feel so incredibly grateful because this work attracts really amazing people.
So many alumni are joining,
and folks new to this work, too!

People who are willing to look at contributions to their patterns,
who know how to hold space for others,
who aren’t afraid of going deep,
and who know how to embrace nuance.
The kind of people who are willing to take the leap to do the things to make their life align with their values.

This work isn't easy,
but it's so, so worth it.

Today I’m adding more content to the curriculum library - diving into Self Awareness!

How to build & deepen the connection with yourself first, because that relationship impacts how you show up in every aspect of your life.

Join us!
We’re truly just getting started.

I'm not saying that the other person's behavior is okay.
But you can't change them.
And ruminating on their faults, choices, and character doesn't do ANYTHING good for you — it keeps you stuck with the lens focused on them.

What does help is turning the focus back toward yourself.
How did that situation feel?
How do I feel when I'm around this person?
What does it remind me of?
What do I need right now?

A large part of emotional maturity is learning how to do just this —
become your own safe space inside.
Learning how to attune to your own emotional experience first and be compassionately present with your feelings.
You don't need to justify to yourself - if it's here, it's telling you something - because you're learning how to be a safe space for you.
And you're learning that when you can safely be present to a hurt feeling (without becoming the feeling or the story),
the feeling moves.

And after you let yourself feel the feeling,
you can return to the situation with a clearer mind and make decisions about how you want to engage going forward.

Not from a place of punishment - it's not about the other person.
But from a place of, "what actually works for me here?
What do I feel comfortable giving/sharing with this person?
How much of my time and energy do I want to devote here going forward?"
These questions are about YOU,
not about them.

And it's incredibly empowering —
it's how you begin to really trust yourself.
By learning how to stay and value your own experience,
and take the steps to honor your values, needs, feelings, and priorities.

Are you working on this?
Join the online EQ School Community!
You'll find the EQ school curriculum and a community of dedicated, kind people who are doing the work and supporting each other in the process.

Our very first EQ School orientation is happening this morning at 10am Pacific Time!

We already have 15 founding members inside (!!), and I'm so excited to officially get started.

If you've been thinking about joining us, it's not too late to jump in and come to the orientation this morning.

The EQ School is a place to continue learning about emotional intelligence, but more importantly, to actually practice it — with weekly practice opportunities, live calls, ongoing teaching, and a community of people who care about doing this work, too.

If that sounds like something you've been wanting, I'd love to have you with us.

https://www.skool.com/the-eq-school-9321/about

And if you can't make this morning's orientation, that's completely fine!

I'm recording this first one, and there will be another new-member orientation every month.

See you inside,
Genny

A little roundup of some of things that feel good —
Especially when they’re not things that have always been available to us.

When old methods of self-protection come down and you start to trust your own discernment, you might find yourself connecting with people you can trust —
because you’re truly able to trust yourself.

If this is what you’re working toward, the EQ School online community is now open —
our first new member orientation is tomorrow.

Come learn and practice in community — honing the skills that will help open you to that next level, the one you’ve been dreaming about.

Because when you trust you, everything around you begins to change.
