You can spot the pattern, name the trigger, & explain exactly what needs to change. And still… you find yourself riiiight back in it. Am I right? 👀 Happy Saturday, I am here to wake you up & call you out (lovingly, of course)!! 🫶 Because I know you don’t struggle with knowing what to do. They struggle is actually living it, especially when you’ve been taught to prioritize being liked, needed, or “good” over being real. So we start there. We start with the gap between awareness and action. Because that gap is where your patterns live. It’s where your nervous system kicks in and says, “this feels unsafe,” even when nothing is actually wrong. It’s where years of conditioning pull you back into the version of you that knows how to be accepted, even if it means being misaligned. It’s not a knowledge problem & its not about knowing more. It’s about having somewhere to actually practice it and people who can hold you while you do. Because trying to change these patterns in isolation will only take you so far. 🤷♀️ You can understand your triggers, but when you’re dysregulated, awareness alone doesn’t anchor you. You can promise yourself you’ll choose differently next time, but without somewhere to actually practice that, nothing rewires. So I challenge you to look outside of yourself. Find spaces that don’t just talk about the work, but hold you while you do it. Where you can notice your patterns as they’re happening and not have to pretend you’ve got it all figured out. Where you can feel anger, grief, discomfort without being rushed, fixed, or made wrong for it. And where you can try on new ways of responding, and instead of losing connection, you deepen it. Because the truth is, the people around you will either reinforce your conditioning… or support your transformation. ✨If you’re surrounded by people who expect the “easy” version of you, you’ll keep defaulting to her. ✨If you’re surrounded by people who benefit from you over-giving, you’ll keep over-giving. ✨If you’re surrounded by people who only know how to meet the filtered version of you, you’ll keep performing. Catch my drift, babe? When you’re in the right rooms, you will begin to recalibrates in real time. I've witnessed this in my girls, and also in myself. You'll start to build trust with your body again, make decisions from a regulated place, and close the gap between what you know… and how you actually live. Not perfectly, but consistently. And over time, that consistency becomes your identity. This. Is. The. Work. ✨Unlearning the conditioning that taught you to betray yourself. You don’t need another list of things to try, you just need spaces that let you live it. That’s what Sacred Circle was built for: a place to actually become the version of you who trusts herself enough to act on what she already knows. And to do it surrounded by women who are choosing the same thing. It happens in rooms where you’re seen, supported, and challenged to stay with yourself… even when it would be easier to fall back. If your body is saying “yes” even if your mind is unsure… trust that. (I’ve opened Sacred Circle to virtual attendees as well, so you can join us from wherever you are. You’ll be sitting right alongside us in Circle, not on the outside looking in!) So.. if your body is saying “yes” even if your mind is unsure… trust that.

image: janusz_furrer There’s a version of you that people rely on. The one who keeps the peace.Who doesn’t make things harder than they need to be.Who knows how to read the room and adjust accordingly. And for a long time, that version of you probably felt like something to be proud of....until it didn’t. You probably started noticing how tired you feel after being around people. Or often you say yes when you mean no. How quickly you override your own needs just to keep the peace. And...
There are seasons in life where things feel steady, and some where everything feels like it’s moving at once... A relationship changes.Your work doesn’t feel the same.You’re questioning things you used to feel sure about. Sometimes it’s obvious, but other times, it’s harder to name. You just wake up one day and think, “I don’t think this fits me anymore.” Those moments can feel unsettling. This moment came to me after I gave my TEDx talk in February, and it actually shook me to my core....
*GIRL*.... I couldn't make this up if I tried. Unsure where you land on the subject, but this show has kinda taken a shape of it's own. While some like to refer to it as a cult (aka: me, LOL), I have genuinely been changed by a show about two gay hockey players. I’ve been taking this time to unpack shame in a very personal, “where does this still live in me?” kind of way. And what’s been surprising is how subtle it can be. It doesn’t always show up as something loud or obvious, like physical...
