THE SACRED GRIND

A few months ago, I shared an idea that many of you responded to:

Business Talk in the Bedroom is Killing Your Intimacy

One beautiful response was:

"We were having naked meetings! We began keeping the bedroom free of business... now our intimacy is flowing, we feel that 'in love' feeling more often, and our work is fun again.”

Madison and I remind each other, “No Naked Meetings!” almost every day — you may remember that she and I are not just lovers, we run our clothing store, Apocalypse, together.

Yet when you’re lucky and foolish enough to be in business with your lover, it’s easy to 'fall asleep' to each other in the daily grind.

We meet the demands of each day, while losing contact with the most essential reasons we are together: the sacredness, intimacy, and support of our partnership.

That’s why I call this ‘the Sacred Grind’.**

Because at the meeting of sacred partnership and daily grind, sometimes we find grace, such deep goodness infused through each moment … our relating + work flowing with elevated connection, teamwork, and play.

However there are many days when the notion of connection is far away, and returning to each other is like traversing a landscape of sheer cliffs, hot sun, and little water.

These are the days we bear grief, distance, and anxiety — because working with our lover is so much more complex than with a simple ‘business partner’.

Are you losing connection in your Sacred Grind?

If you are, this is your reminder:

Even on the bumpy days, when you're grinding it out, feeling distant, and definitely don't feel 'in love' — you can reclaim connection, teamwork, and love.

These are the days when the Sacred Grind is a practice, not a prison.

So take a simple step back toward connection. Text your partner a 🌷 or a 😉 (or even a 🍆), make them a meal, or simply ask, "how is your heart today?"

What are some of the ways you practice getting back into connection?
