“FIGHTING FOR HEART” Groups
Woman’s groups with Natalie designed to deepen the life you want with the people that matter most.
I don’t think anyone ever told me how hard it was to live, and how much it hurt to love, and how much risk it was to feel.
I saw this billboard the other day that simply said, “We do this, not because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy….”
That is how I am experiencing life. And I know I am not alone.
The dilemma comes up, though, when we think that we are just that, alone. We can convince ourselves that no one else feels this way, has problems or challenges quite like this, or experiencing life the same. Those messages only isolate and leave us lonely, tired, and maybe even with a touch of self-soothing pity- or is that just me?
I, for one, spent most of my early adulthood managing my feelings and medicating life’s wounds with a hefty addiction to control and an obsession with productivity. We have our vices, and mine eventually found me. When those coping mechanisms no longer served me, I had to show up to my life in a new way and “do the work,” as my husband, and I like to say.
Through a lot of struggle and learning a whole new language, I am practicing what it means to be present with my whole self. Heart, Body, Mind, and Soul. For me, this comes from using my heart to recognize what I am feeling, really feeling. And how to reach for what I believe is most important. Deeper connection with myself and others.
The Fighting for Heart Groups I am starting will be just that. A small circle of women in a safe, trusted environment, attempting to practice being present with themselves more holistically. We like to call it integration, and I like to call it life-changing.
Join me once a week, for just over an hour, as you join in on an intentionally led experience around feelings, wants, needs, personhood, and relationships. Practice with me the language of the heart. And see what happens. It may be messy at times, even a little scary, but the best things in life are worth fighting for, so why not start with the heart?

The Research About EQ Groups
Among those who have decided Fight for Heart, we found three key motivations from our research:
They recognized emotional disconnection and wanted more for themselves and their core relationships. This usually gets flushed to the surface by some kind of painful situation.
They wanted a safe place to connect, emote, belong, and be supported in this kind of growth. Nothing is more central to the human condition than the need to belong.
They were invited by a trusted friend, counselor, or group facilitator and said yes. Opportunities mean nothing until we decide to accept them.
And now, for the resistances or excuses that kept people from investing in their emotional growth:
Self-protection against social shame, pressure, or judgments for being “emotional.”
Holding a belief that leaders should not be distracted by emotions.
Avoiding emotions feels easier, safer, and more manageable.
Lack of emotional modeling growing up.
Ignorance of any other way than performing and producing.
Not justifying the time and money to prioritize emotional development.
