How Couples Actually Build Connection
Five years after living through the pandemic together, many couples are realizing that connection hasn’t gotten easier—life has only gotten louder. In this reflective, honest look at partnership, I explore what it actually takes to stay connected when you’re tired, stretched thin, and operating at different speeds. From tiny daily rituals to shared moments, nervous-system-friendly activities, and naming what we miss, this is the real roadmap to choosing each other—long after survival mode ends.
Valentine’s Day, another day to know you’re enough.
Valentine’s Day can feel like a lot—whether you're single, in a situationship, or happily in love. But here’s the truth: the only love you truly need is your own. Society pushes the idea that happiness is found in someone else, but you are already whole. Build a life you love, surround yourself with a supportive community, and stop waiting for someone to "get it together." Listen, it took me a long time to figure this one out—I met my partner at 35—but by then, I had already built a life I loved.
So don’t put off your joy. Live fully, embrace your power, and trust that when you’re aligned with your own happiness, the right person will come effortlessly. Love starts with you. 💕
