Hi friend, Do you struggle to show the care you have for others? Maybe you assume people already know how much they mean to you, or you're waiting to find the perfect words. You could create moments of connection, but instead, they pass you by, and you tell yourself you'll say the important things later. Instead, let people experience more of what's already true. Try this: 1. Notice.When someone crosses your mind, pay attention to it. Maybe you remember a conversation you had with them. Maybe something reminds you of them. Maybe you simply wonder how they’re doing. Instead of letting the thought pass, send them a text. It takes less than a minute, but it reminds someone they’re not forgotten. 2. Say the thing they can’t know.Don’t assume people already know what you’re thinking. Tell your friend you admire them. Tell your sibling you appreciate how they’ve shown up for you. Tell your partner what they did that made you feel loved. Tell your coworker the way they made your day easier. The thoughts that stay in your head can't become part of someone else’s experience. 3. Keep it simple.Your message doesn't have to be perfect or profound. Just share it! The goal is letting people experience just a little bit more of what's already in your heart. You might make someone’s day—and deepen a relationship at the same time. If you’re here to practice showing up more fully in your relationships, welcome. I’m glad you’re here. Coach Jose 💛

Hi friend, This week, I want to encourage you to make a move. For us awkward folks, that can be hard. Too often, we want to feel certain about our next step before we take it. We want to have the right words completely formulated in our minds before we speak. We want to know the answer before we ask. We want to know how things will turn out before we decide. But most of the time, none of those things are realistic. We have to take the step first. We have to deal with the uncertainty. I want...
Hi friend, This week, I want to share a practice with you. You can use this anytime you find yourself jumping to conclusions about someone's intentions. In my video, I use the example of one partner brushing off the other. The brushed-off partner immediately jumps to a conclusion: "My partner is mad at me." This is an unhelpful pattern a lot of us fall into. It's a habit of filling in the blanks about someone else’s thoughts or intentions without checking the facts. We notice a behavior,...
Hi friend, One of the things I notice most in the people I work with is how often they say, "I don't know." Sure, sometime's that's true. But honestly, most of the time, it isn't. You probably say "I don't know," when you're actually waiting for someone to tell you it's okay, because you don't trust yourself enough to act without everyone else's approval. We spend so much time waiting for people to understand us before we let ourselves move forward. We want our family to get it. Our friends...
