Welcome to Mind Love, episode 243.

Today's episode is all about the transformative power of holding space.

Expectations are a direct reflection of our defenses.

So lots of expectations comes from lots of defense.

So as people on healing journeys,

we work on healing the wounds that created the defenses like a protective mechanism inside of us.

We learn to bring down the walls and feel safe and sovereign in ourselves.

And the more the walls come down the less defensive we are and the less defensive

we are the less expectations we have and what is helpful as most people don't know is that they have expectations to maintain the defenses they hide behind.

So people want to be intimate, but they're afraid of connecting.

So as we take responsibility to hold space for ourselves,

we lower the wall of defense as we heal our traumas. Turn up your frequency with mind love.

Bight-sized brain hacks for seekers, dreamers, and doers.

that I've ever felt and honestly have not felt capable of surviving it until now.
