Not your typical love-and-light bullsh*t. Just my subtle (okayyyy, sometimes NOT-so-subtle 😘) way of calling you OUT & calling you BACK to yourself, all while reminding you you're not alone in any of this.
The 2-step reset for any heavy emotion
|
Reader, You know those moments when an emotion hits hard: grief, anger, anxiety, sadness...and your first instinct is either to shove it down or let it consume you? Neither one really gives us the freedom we’re looking for. Instead of fighting your emotions or getting swallowed by them, try this check-in: Step 1: Ask yourself: Am I willing to accept this? Step 2: Ask yourself: Am I willing to let it go? Why? Because this gentle side-to-side movement (what’s called bilateral stimulation) activates both hemispheres of your brain. It helps your nervous system process the feeling more effectively, kind of like your mind’s way of filing the emotion instead of leaving it scattered across the floor. Instead of looping in the same emotional cycle, your body gets the signal that it’s safe to integrate and release. ✨ Acceptance is the doorway. So the next time something heavy comes up, give it a try. You don’t have to wrestle your emotions. You can walk with them, honor them, and then let them move through you. With you in the messy & the magic, |

Putting the podcast on hold for the last few months has shown that to be true, but I know there is value in having an online space.As I have gotten clear on who I am and what I...
Reader, we’re taught from a young age that safety comes from sticking to the plan. The map feels comforting: dotted lines, clear markers, a “right” way forward. But here’s the thing, babe: the map was drawn by someone else. Parents. Teachers. Society. And while it might have guided them, it was never meant to chart your unique path. That’s why your body starts to rebel. You wake up with a heaviness in your chest before heading into the job that “should” make you happy. You picture the house,...
Hey Reader, Think back to when you first noticed the rules. Maybe it was at the dinner table, when you were told to lower your voice while your brother was praised for being bold.Maybe it was at school, when speaking up got you labeled “bossy” while silence earned you a gold star.Or maybe it was later, when you dimmed your light in relationships because shining too brightly made someone else uncomfortable. Little by little, you learned the choreography: smile when you’d rather scream, nod...
