The Intersection of You and Me

A Three-Book Series on Learning to Stay

“The space between us is alive. It needs tending.”

Most of us know only two options: abandon ourselves to stay connected, or disconnect to stay safe.

This series maps the territory between those extremes—the middle ground where real relating happens. From the inner work that makes it possible, to the relational practice that tests it, to the larger pattern that gives it meaning.

The Intersection of You and Me book cover

Three Books. One Complete Teaching.

Each book stands alone. Together, they form a path from inner work to relational practice to understanding why it all matters.

1

As Within

Foundation and the Work of Coming Home to Yourself

The inner work that makes everything else possible. Nervous system regulation, shadow work, boundaries, capacity-building.

Build the foundation (you)

2

As Between

Advanced Relational Work and the Practice of Holding Space

Where you practice what you’ve built. The “third being,” relational proximity, staying connected without disappearing.

Practice in relationship (you + me)

3

As Above, So Below

Ancient Maps and the Science of Transformation

Why ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience point at the same truths. How your individual work contributes to something larger.

See the pattern (all of us)

Why This Series Exists

In 2018, my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. What followed was four years of loss stacking on loss. By October 2022, I realized I was in trouble. I couldn’t move. Not tired. Not grieving. Frozen.

A desperate prayer opened a healing cycle that made me see what I hadn’t wanted to look at. And it led me to a question: Where do I end and another begins?

I started with myself. I noticed my nervous system wasn’t calm—it was stuck. And I noticed something else: shadows live in activation. We need to be activated to see them. But we’re told to calm down.

Is it possible to do both?

I found out it is. It’s not about choosing a state. It’s about fluidity—the capacity to move between states consciously. To stay present at the edges where things meet.

And that’s when I saw it: the nervous system is the key that fits every intersection. Between your own states. Between shadow and wisdom. Between you and others. Between you and life itself.

Some of us have difficult curriculum. But to each of us, our edge feels like THE edge—because it is. It’s calibrated to walk us right up to the limit of what we know how to hold.

I’ve been walked to mine. And I found a way through.

These books are that way.

What This Series Offers

Not tips and techniques. The actual capacity that makes genuine connection possible.

A Complete Path

Most books give you one piece. These three are one teaching across three volumes—inner work to relational practice to bigger pattern. No gaps. No contradictions.

Fluidity, Not Just Regulation

You’ve been told to calm down. But what if you need activation to see what’s hiding? The goal isn’t a state—it’s the capacity to move between states consciously.

The Middle Ground

Between self-abandonment and disconnection. Between giving too much and shutting down. This series maps that territory—where real relationship lives.

The Universal Key

The nervous system isn’t just one thing to work on. It’s the key that unlocks every intersection—internal, relational, and beyond.

Permission to Be Human

No spiritual bypass. No pretending it’s easy. This is about building capacity through imperfect practice—losing it and coming back, failing and repairing.

Meaning That Sustains

Your work matters beyond you. Every win adds to a library others can access. Individual healing becomes collective transformation—structurally, not just metaphorically.

Who This Series Is For

If you’ve ever:

  • Known what you “should” do but couldn’t actually do it
  • Felt everyone else’s emotions like they’re your own
  • Struggled to set boundaries without feeling cruel
  • Wanted to show up for people without losing yourself
  • Suspected you might be frozen, not calm
  • Done the inner work but can’t translate it into connection
  • Found yourself either giving too much or shutting down completely
  • Needed meaning to sustain the practice when it gets hard

This series is for you.

What This Series Is (And Isn’t)

This Series Is:

  • Honest about how hard this work actually is
  • Grounded in what your nervous system needs
  • About building real capacity, not learning scripts
  • For people who want to do the actual work
  • A complete path from foundation to practice to meaning

This Series Isn’t:

  • Five easy steps to better relationships
  • Selling you on quick fixes or transformation hacks
  • Pretending this work is easy or fast
  • Another book about communication techniques
  • Going to tell you that you just need to think differently
“The edge you’re walking? There’s a way to navigate it. These books are that way.”

About the Author

Sheila Rumble, author of The Intersection of You and Me

Sheila Rumble

Sheila learned to hold space through devastating necessity—widowed at 44 with four kids, followed by years of compounding loss that required building capacity she didn’t know was possible.

She teaches what she had to learn the hard way: the foundation, mechanics, and practice of genuine presence in relationships. Not because it sounded nice, but because survival demanded it.

Through Rowan Wellness, she offers QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique), somatic breathwork, energy healing, and spiritual coaching—all rooted in the same principles this series explores.
