Summary
Today, our first letter comes from Ian in Memphis: Ian loves building beautiful spaces, but the conflict-heavy nature of his industry leaves him avoiding hard conversations—sometimes even walking away from being paid. He asks how to face conflict directly, set boundaries, and stay authentic without people-pleasing or losing his creative spirit.
Our next letter comes from Neysa: After years of personal healing, Neysa feels destabilized when returning to a family system still caught in toxic, unconscious patterns. She asks how to remain balanced and choose love in those environments—and whether true resolution always means change in others.
Next, in the guided meditation, Michael leads us inward to remember our innate freedom and oneness with the Presence.

| 0:52.2 | Our first letter comes from Ian in Memphis. He writes this, my partner and I own a |

| 1:06.1 | immense amount of joy from creating spaces as we believe our surroundings have a great impact on the way we live |
| 1:12.9 | our lives. This industry, however, is fraught or wrought with conflict, and I struggle with this. |
| 1:21.5 | I often avoid situations I fear will cause conflict only to create conflict because of my avoidance. |
| 1:29.1 | This cycle inhibits me from expressing myself freely in a creative manner and being my true self in business situations. |
| 1:38.2 | Many times I have walked away from being paid for my services to avoid a conflict. |
| 1:43.8 | Either out of fear of escalating the conflict |
| 1:45.7 | or simply because I do not want to spin the negative energy |

| 1:51.6 | because I'm the sole provider for my family. |
| 1:56.5 | One of your tools I've found some relief in |
| 2:00.3 | is creating a positive radiant shield around me. |

| 2:21.0 | How can I address topics that make me feel easy as well as navigate conflict when it arises without people pleasing or mediating the |
| 2:28.8 | situation? I'm actually pretty good at mediating. I hope this question is a universal one that can help others around conflict and avoidance. |
