LOVE | CONNECTION | COMPASSION   

MATTERS OF THE HEART  

 

“This February, we’re trading surface-level ‘I love yous’ for the kind of love that’s felt—through presence, deep listening, and compassion that reconnects the heart, calms the nervous system, and brings us back to ourselves (and each other).”

ABOUT THIS ISSUE

LOVE | CONNECTION | COMPASSION

MATTERS OF THE HEART

February invites us back to the heart—not the shiny, performative kind… the real kind. The kind that softens survival mode, repairs trust, and rebuilds connection one honest moment at a time.

🌟 Featured Coach of the Month: Dawn Omalza 

In her powerful piece, Dawn reminds us that coherence isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment. When your brain, heart, and gut stop arguing with each other, love becomes clearer, your body feels safer, and compassion stops being “nice” and starts being healing.

Inside, our CHC coaches explore love in its truest form:

  • Self-love that goes deeper than self-care

  • Connection that’s built through presence and listening

  • Compassion that has boundaries—and still stays tender

  • The difference between true love and trauma bonds

  • And how healing often happens in relationship, not isolation

 This month, give yourself permission to come home.

Soften where you’ve been bracing.

Speak what you’ve been swallowing.

Choose the kind of love that doesn’t cost you your peace.

Because the real win this February isn’t a Valentine…

It’s a heart that feels safe again.
