Here are a few highlights from our conversation:

So to me, integrity is energetic wholeness. Now what that translates to very quickly for me is full aliveness. So when I am in integrity, I am energetically whole. I am fully alive.

It begins with a clear commitment inside of yourself. Then it begins with growing in self-awareness. So you can feel the difference between blaming and criticizing and taking responsibility. And then it moves to a very simple practice.

There are two dimensions to repairing that relationship. One is literally repairing it with the other person, but there’s a repair that can occur that doesn’t require or even need to involve the other person.

“All drama in relationships is caused by unaligned commitments and/or unclear and unkept agreements.”
