How embracing vulnerability can transform our most intimate connections
As I sit here crafting my dating profile, I'm struck by the complexity of what I'm trying to communicate. How do you convey that the same person who manages a business, coordinates school pickups, oversees elderly parents' care, and keeps multiple plates spinning is also someone who craves the profound relief of letting go?
This is the paradox many of us live with: we're strong, capable, and in control by day, yet yearn for something entirely different in our most intimate moments. And I’m not necessarily talking about full-blown BDSM scenes, though the dom-sub dynamic can definitely play a part.
The Weight of Always Being "On"
The reality of modern life, particularly for those of us juggling multiple responsibilities, is that we're constantly making decisions, solving problems, and maintaining control. Whether you're leading a team at work, managing a household, or caring for aging parents, the mental load is relentless.
I know this intimately. Between running my practice, solo parenting, and ensuring my parents receive the care they need, my days are filled with decisions both large and small. Add to this the ongoing work of managing my own mental health, and it becomes clear why the idea of surrender feels so appealing.
It's not just me. I've coached senior executives - people who command boardrooms and make million-dollar decisions - who confide that their greatest desire is to find spaces where they can safely let someone else take the lead. The constant pressure of responsibility creates a deep hunger for its opposite: trust, vulnerability, and the freedom that comes from letting go.

This is just the beginning. Behind the paywall, I'm sharing details about the psychology of healthy surrender, building healthy connections, how I’m crafting my dating profile and being courageous in my vulnerability.
