How to Get Clarity on Whether a Relationship Is Right
This coaching call is about how patience and compassion without clarity can lead to resentment. Today’s caller, Lucy, doesn’t feel like a priority in her partner’s life. She asks for guidance on whether the relationship is right for her or if there are too many red flags. Christine shares some skills that can help Lucy.
“When we have a lot of emotional vulnerability or sexual intimacy and vulnerability with a man, we can mistake it for being in a conscious relationship. If you are in a dynamic where you’re having a lot of emotional intimacy, but you don’t have the consistency or the feeling of safety, it’s not as conscious as you may think. What do you need to do to make a relationship more conscious? Bring accountability, responsibility, and agreements into it.”

The Good, the Bad, and the Technology
Embracing the coexistence of “good and bad” is essential for authentic progress. Here’s an excerpt:
“Philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel have deeply explored the concept of duality. Nietzsche’s idea of “eternal recurrence” posits that life is a repetitive cycle of events that includes both triumphs and tragedies. Hegel’s dialectic underlines that the synthesis of thesis and antithesis results in a higher form of understanding. In both instances, the existence of bad is not merely an unfortunate byproduct of reality but an essential catalyst for growth and progress.”
I’m predisposed to like any author or article that positively uses Hegel’s dialectic. Just sayin’ :-D

Editor’s note: This year is the year I got serious about diet and exercise again — this time the focus is entirely on being proactive for health reasons. I’ve lost 55lbs and I’m going for 100 by the end of the year. Diet, bike riding and Planet Fitness are now part of my new paradigm. The results have been amazing and if you’re in poor health of overweight, I encourage you to dig deeply into this issue. You’ll feel better!

A Video from Pam Lefkowitz of ROAR!
New blogger and old friend Pam Lefkowitz has finally gone public. She says:
“I used to speak on tech topics but discovered that I’m not very good at taking tech principles and operations from my brain and teaching them to audiences. I can translate tech-speak to muggle-speak, however. I just can’t do it tech to tech. I suspect it’s a case of Imposter Syndrome more than anything, to be honest.
But I *am* very good at soft skills presentations. And, so, I’ve done a number of them. The most recent one was a lot of fun: Ageism in Tech, revisited. I talk about ageism, racism, and sexism in tech. I’ll post it here. I hope you enjoy it.”
If I recall correctly, Pam is the first woman to become authorized as an Apple Authorized Systems Engineer. She’s super smart and super funny. Follow her blog…

Everything Marcus Freeman Said Monday Ahead of Tennessee State
I’m a huge Notre Dame fan and I have been since I was 10. I’m inspired by stories of excellence in sports; great players like Thomas Muller of FC Bayern and great coaches like Vince Lombardi. Along those lines, I love this quote and the thoughts behind it: “It’s us versus Tennessee State today. That’s our mindset. They have meetings and practice today, and we have meetings and practice today. Who’s going to have the better meetings and practice? And if we can keep motivated to just win these moments, Saturday will take care of itself. It will. Source: Everything Marcus Freeman Said Monday Ahead of Tennessee State
