What Happens When Our Only Intention Is to Connect

In this first episode, Maridelle Leyva introduces Sage Space and asks, “what happens when a conversation isn’t about performing, fixing, or proving anything, but simply about connecting? She reveals the answer…magic. The kind of magic that looks like wisdom, joy, breakthroughs, and healing.

She reflects on recording the first four episodes and noticing how conversations felt more meaningful when she set the intention to connect. She shares a practice she uses called Listening for Connection, which includes:

  1. Connect with yourself – through grounding practices like the Butterfly Hug
  2. Connect with the present moment – by noticing emotions and engaging with art
  3. Release control – staying open to what unfolds without trying to fix or guide

This episode includes a grounding practice, a lyric from the song The Day Brings by Brad, a story about a conversation with her son, and a reflection on silence inspired by Mister Rogers.

A practical invitation to bring more connection into the everyday…starting with yourself.
