In this episode, Erin takes “needs” a step further. After acknowledging the needs and trying to meet them on your own, you can get really clear about how to request them from another person. Acknowledging and meeting needs is like winning the lottery. This helps us to maintain deep and meaningful relationships.

This is the second of four parts in Erin’s “Emotional Regulation and Intimate Communications” series. In this episode, Erin talks about the window of tolerance and why it’s important. Learn to recognize where you are internally so you can regulate yourself and have meaningful conversations, without regretting saying something in a dysregulated state. Erin also has started to introduce acknowledgement of needs, and how those two things go hand-in-hand with establishing and maintaining a healthy relationship with ourselves with others.

I just graduated to Blue Belt in Kalaripayattu! Today, I want to share my martial arts journey. I hold a black belt in Shotokan karate, which I started at around 13 and continued through my early 20s. It gave me a great foundation, a strong work ethic, and a way to channel my anger constructively.

Karate kept me focused and probably saved me from the paths some friends took, like falling into drug addiction. After a break from martial arts and dealing with a severe eating disorder, I found yoga, which I’ve been practicing and teaching for over 15 years.

Yoga helped me heal, but I still felt a disconnect from martial arts due to unresolved anger and shame. I did some self-defense seminars with my partner, Matt “Judo” Murphy, a double black belt in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Though resistant at first, I eventually discovered Kalaripayattu, the oldest martial art from Kerala, India, which combines Ayurveda, massage, weapons training, and yoga.

Kalaripayattu has transformed me, helping me integrate my shadow and reclaim my power. It’s helped me work through anxiety, have deeper friendships, and grow spiritually. Training in Mysore with my guru, who traveled 14 hours to teach me, has been incredible. I’ve also been learning Malayalam to communicate better with him.

Next year, I hope my guru can join us for yoga teacher training and a yoga vacation. Martial arts focus your mind, help you work through blocks, and are a sacred art. I highly recommend trying it.
