“I Don’t Want His Opinion, I Just Want His Blessing” — Live Session with Hilary Valentine
“No one is just pink and orange and yellow. We all have the deep, dark, stormy hues of emotion and I just never really acknowledged that ” Hi everyone! It's so great to be back with the podcast. This episode marks the beginning of a new season for the show, and it's something I’ve wanted to bring you for a long time: real client sessions, recorded live. Hilary Valentine came back on the show a little over a year after we worked together inside The Mothership , and she brought a pattern that keeps resurfacing in her marriage. As a homeschooling mom, Hilary carries the weight of the big decisions about her daughter’s education, and every time she brings a plan to her husband, they end up in friction. Together, we trace the heaviness she feels in her chest back to a childhood memory of being pulled out of choir, and to the “easy child” role she took on to keep the peace at home. What unfolds is a powerful shift. Hilary doesn’t actually need her husband’s opinion. She needs his emotional support, and the validation she’s been chasing is something only she can give herself. We talk about the difference between operating from your wounding and operating from your power, why the pressure to give your kids what you didn’t get is really about not wanting to feel that pain again, and how to bring your partner in without defending every decision. If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens inside a session with me, this is it.
