** *A He Said/She Said Guide to Loving Like You Mean It*

**SHERRY’S TAKE**

*(Feminine energy, delivering heartfelt depth with a dash of humor)*

Let’s get real: Connection isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about being *found*.

Years ago, I thought walls were my superpower. Abandonment? Rejection? Betrayal? I built a fortress around those wounds like they were crown jewels. Then Lee showed up with a metaphorical crowbar and said, “You know, Sherry, even castles have drawbridges.” (Turns out, he’d Googled “how to sound profound.”)

**The Masculine Framework (From a Feminine Soul Who’s Still Learning):**

- **Truth > Tidiness:** You want connection? Start with the mess. The time you cried in a grocery store because the avocados were too ripe. The text you sent at 2 AM that still haunts you. That’s not chaos—it’s confetti. *(Lee’s note: “Sherry once compared her trust issues to a piñata. It got… emotional.”)*

- **Courage is a Verb:** It’s not about fearlessness. It’s about saying, “I’m scared, but I’ll hold your hand anyway.” (Bonus points if you’re bad at hand-holding. I once accidentally high-fived a client mid-breakthrough.)

- **Boundaries Are Love Letters:** Saying “no” isn’t cold—it’s how you say “yes” to what really matters. Like naps. And not attending your ex’s cousin’s improv show.

Root Camp? It’s where we help you trade armor for a flashlight. Turns out, shadows aren’t so scary when someone’s beside you.

**LEE’S TAKE**

*(Masculine energy, delivering humor that connects through shared humanity)*

Sherry’s over here quoting Rumi. Meanwhile, I’m just trying to remember that **connection is the universe’s way of saying, “Hey, your awkwardness is someone else’s inside joke.”**

*(Sherry mutters: “You cried during *The Office* finale.”)*

*Everyone* did, Sherry. Jim and Pam’s goodbye note was a masterpiece!

Here’s the thing: Betrayal, rejection, abandonment—they’re like emotional static. Root Camp isn’t about turning off the noise. It’s about finding the station where someone says, *“Oh, I know this song.”*

**The Feminine Blueprint (From a Masculine Heart That’s All In):**

- **Listen Like a Campfire:** You don’t fix the cold. You warm it. (Pro tip: Most “broken” people just need someone to say, “Yeah, that sucked. Want a s’more?”)

- **Vulnerability is a Handshake:** Ever watched a toddler offer a half-eaten cookie? That’s connection. No strategy, no ego—just “Here’s my mess. Want some?” (*Sherry: “Our toddler phase involved less cookies, more PowerPoints.”*)

- **Glue is Overrated:** Real connection isn’t about sticking. It’s about choosing, again and again, to say, “I see you. Even the wobbly bits.”

Root Camp’s where you realize your “broken” parts are just origami waiting to be unfolded.

### **WHERE WE AGREE (AND STILL BICKER)**

**SHERRY:**

Root Camp isn’t about fixing. It’s about whispering, *“I’ve got a map to your buried treasure. Also, I brought snacks.”*

**LEE:**

Snacks are key. Betrayal tastes better with popcorn.

**SHERRY:**

We’ll help you dig up the feelings you FedEx’d to Narnia.

**LEE:**

And laugh when you find out Narnia’s just your childhood bedroom.

**SHERRY:**

Bring a shovel.

**LEE:**

And that half-eaten cookie.

**Ready to Drop the Map?**

Whether you’re a “cry during *The Office*” type or a “quote Rumi at the DMV” soul, Root Camp’s about one thing:

**Daring to connect—not because it’s easy, but because it’s the only way home.**
