In this episode of Wholehearted Loving, Georgianna and Steph explore how we discover more of ourselves by observing others — not to perform or conform, but to get curious.

Steph tells the story of a simple jaw massage on a group call that became a catalyst for someone else’s self-awareness; Georgianna opens up about the early overwhelm of parenting and how "trying on" traits from others helped her build a way of being that actually worked for her; together, they reflect on their own friendship and the many micro-habits they’ve picked up from each other — from putting dishes away to softening into self-expression.

With play, story, and body-based insight, they share how imitation can become a tool of self-discovery — especially when done with gentleness, choice, and a sense of humor.

Discover how:

• Copycatting can be healing — when it’s done with curiosity

• Trying things on can help you figure out what’s actually yours

• Friendships become richer when we stop comparing and start co-regulating
