1️⃣ Take initiative with plans, but stay open to her input.
“Let’s try this spot Friday, unless there’s something you’d prefer?”
Confidence + flexibility = safety.
2️⃣ Be consistent in your words and actions.
Nothing builds trust like showing up the same way every time.
3️⃣ Step in when she’s overwhelmed, without taking over.
Offer support, not solutions. Say, “How can I help lighten this for you?”
4️⃣ Hold space during conflict instead of reacting.
Let her feel what she needs to feel. Your calm presence leads the tone.
5️⃣ Set boundaries for yourself with kindness, not force.
Leading means knowing where you stand too and communicating it with care.
6️⃣ Protect the relationship energy.
Be the one who says, “Let’s not fight. I want us to stay close.”
7️⃣ Lead with love, not ego.
It’s not about being in charge, it’s about being anchored, so she doesn’t have to carry the emotional load alone.
