Hi, I'm Cynthia!

 

I know the feeling of being exhausted by interactions and constantly feeling like you're saying the wrong thing and then getting stuck in your head for days about it. 

See, I used to be extremely passive aggressive, I'd shut down at any sign of confrontation or difficult conversation. I had a hard time expressing myself so that others could hear me and it felt like anytime I did get the courage to say something, I said it in the wrong way, that would lead to an argument and nothing would get resolved. Then weeks later the same conversation would come around leading to the same cycle and pattern. 

There was a lot of self evaluation and judgment that kept me comparing myself to others and gave way to a lot of doubt and insecurity and anxiety in my most important relationships.

All of this was how I lived day-in-day-out for 30+ years until my whole world changed with one phone call. 

The whole narrative of my life shifted when Mauricio (Mau) my first love, my best friend, the person who knew me the best in the world passed away unexpectedly in 2011.

The minute it happened, my life changed forever.

I was a blank canvas, empty.

In March 2011, I sat on the floor of my apartment in New York City, fumbling for my tissues. For months all I could do was lay or sit on my floor, cry, and blow out the pain into tissues or (most of the time) toilet paper. There I was, on my floor, when I realized nobody could come and take this suffering away. If I was going to find a way to enjoy being in the world, it was up to me to make it happen.

Out of my loss came this need, desire, to feel good, to feel cared for. But no matter how much other people tried to nurture me, they couldn’t.

Little-by-little, I realized that the only person who could take care of me, make me a priority, make me feel good, was me. I had to undo alot of what I had been taught and if I wanted to change the way I lived in the world I was going to have to change the way I interacted with it. This meant shifting the way I interacted with myself, others, and in turn the world.

If I wanted to feel more ease and peace within my relationships, it was up to me to figure out how to make that happen.

And I did. And this is what I want to share with you. 

For the last six years I've used a proprietary process called the Kane Intentional Communication PracticeTM that helps high achieving individuals speak their truth, better control their emotions, and have clear decision making. 

I started sharing this practice to help others suffer less. I've been where you are and I know what it's like to struggle with expressing yourself, being passive aggressive, judgmental, constantly reacting and exaggerating - beating yourself up and wanting more peace and ease. I spent thirty years not asking for what I needed, constantly feeling like what I had to say wasn't valuable or necessary and that the other person's opinion and voice mattered more than my own. It took me a long time to figure this all out and I don't want you to do it alone. 

What I also get to do with this work is keep Mau's memory alive. Every person I reach or teach gets to know him somehow, meaning they know his name, what he meant to me, and so he lives on and in a way, it gives his death purpose. He was funny, honest, direct, caring and thoughtful - and he didn't care so much about what other people thought. He expressed himself without fear and enjoyed life. 

This way of communicating that I created after Mau died is what's allowed me to love again and be in a healthy and thriving marriage, do what I love, and have calm and relaxed interactions with myself, my family, and my kids. 

Now, what I want to do is give you the same opportunity. I want to help you learn how to express yourself in a non-judgmental way, become confident, improve your relationships, control your emotions, create ease in relationships, release shame and guilt, empower you in decision making, and help heal generational wounds.

It's time.

As I was in search to feel better in the world, I took courses, read books, went to seminars, did therapy, went to retreats and what I was finding out was that everything came back to how I communicated.

And it was one weekend meditation and writing workshop that changed my life forever. I had never meditated before, didn't know much about Buddhism, but I went because writing had always been cathartic for me.  Over that weekend I learned to meditate and it was there that I was introduced to the Elements of Right Speech in Buddhism. When I heard them I knew, this was it, these were guidelines I could follow. And, then, I woke up the next day asking, how do I do this? How do I speak in a kind, honest, and helpful way, and that's how my lifestyle experiment was born. 

I began to practice interacting differently with myself, which lead to showing up differently with others and my environment. This wasn't something I could find in any book - the how to communicate part. The how to become less reactive, more concise, more calm and centered during difficult interactions. The how of having easy interactions. I had to figure it out on my own. 

In the beginning I didn't know if it was actually possible to stop taking things personally, judging others, feeling exhausted and drained, and start showing up authentically in my relationships as I hadn't for 30+ years, and I was scared of what others reactions would be and if I could navigate them. 

But ... I had no other choice. It was either continue as I was or find a way to suffer less. 

Imagine 

 

starBeing able to talk to your spouse about money without getting triggered, seeing red, and wanting to ask for a divorce

starHaving your daughter get upset with you and you don't yell back, say something hurtful, and walk away

starHaving a conversation at work with an important stakeholder who had been avoiding you and it ends with her asking you for more of your time to continue talking to her

 

star Having your partner and your children and your work need you all at the same time and you navigate with calm

starHaving a conversation with a coworker that you typically struggle with and walking away knowing it was the most productive conversation you've had with her in nearly five years

starEasily connecting with potential clients. Sharing your message clearly and concisely so they have an easy time saying, yes, to working with you

What if you could have complete control over what comes out of your mouth? Where you feel confident you'll be seen and heard and your message will be received.

What Students Are Saying

Madeline

 
 

Michelle

 
 

"I am more confident in my interactions. I swear less. I have less judgment if any at all. I am more present in my conversations. I am more patient and tolerant of others. I think more before I speak. I am more silent in conversations and allow others to finish speaking before I talk. I am in a better mood when I speak to people."

 
 

"The tools I learned are the foundation for my communication now, they have made me a better listener, I am able to articulate my feelings with less words and find that I have more confidence in managing conflicts. I am finding now I am able to take responsibility for what I say and not for how it was interpreted by the receiver. I also do not take responsibility for a conversation, no longer needing to fill up the space when there is a lull in the conversation."
