Hi, I'm Cynthia

• And I've been exactly where you are.

  Every thought that it wasn't possible to have different kinds of interactions, that there wasn't any use in trying, I've come face to face with. From feeling unheard, invisible, misunderstood, under-appreciated, and taken advantage of to struggling with comparing myself to others, wondering what was wrong with me that I couldn't figure this out. I've been there. I've walked on eggshells before, I've yelled and screamed and walked off like a child, too. But I figured out a practice of communication that has made it so that now I

  am able to handle confrontation and stay in the room

  no longer get passive aggressive and shut down and walk away

  can be honest in my interactions

  can express myself without fearing the reaction

  feel calm, confident, and connected when I'm talking
