Women's History Month intends to honor, inspire, educate, unite and promote women in the face of forces intent on subjugating and silencing them. It is about those who overcame overt and imbedded assumptions and prejudice to be their best selves. RGB said it well:
“I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”
DAY 7: ESTHER PEREL

Sympathetic resonance is a harmonic phenomenon wherein a passive string or vibratory body responds to external vibrations to which it has a harmonic likeness.
I feel sympathetic resonance when I hear or read Esther’s work. She “sings” in me. Her perspectives on modern day relationships have led to great conversations, & great conversations lead to better relationships.
Esther is a Belgian-American psychotherapist, known for her work on human relationships, couples therapy, and addressing domesticity and desire in long term relationships. Her podcast, “Where Should We Begin?”, contains focused discussions on this, and in doing so brings discussion many wonder about into the light without fear of judgment, for we are our best when we both talk and listen.
She has given TED Talks, can be heard on her podcast, and runs a series of therapy training events. She is a force in her industry that remains accessible to you and I.
You can find her on all major social media sites, and at www.estherperel.com
