Redefining Relating: From Role-Playing to Reciprocity

You weren’t born to perform roles. You were born to relate.

But patriarchy, religious trauma, and white supremacy trained many of us to relate through comparison, competition, and criticism. We learned to be palatable. To over-function. To people-please, shut down, or keep score in relationships where love = sacrifice. These inherited dynamics create bitterness, burnout, and disconnection—not just from others, but from ourselves.

Relating is different. Relating says: I am not above or below you. I am with you. It’s reciprocal. It’s tender. It’s built on consent, clarity, and care. It starts by reclaiming your own inner authority—the power to know what you feel, need, and want—and trust yourself to respond to that with dignity.

In our coaching series, we explore the sacred art of redefining how you relate to yourself first. How you relate to your needs, your body, your voice, your power.

Because when that shifts?

Everything else follows. You begin to notice where you’ve been role-playing and where you want to root into something more real. You get to choose again.

This is your invitation to opt out of performative healing. To step into your life with self-compassion, reciprocity, and clarity. This is sacred work. And you're ready. - Christina Carlson
