2am. Heart pounding. Completely stuck.


"You're out of runway. Turn around."

That's what I heard. I was in the middle of another panic attack - breathing through it, waiting for my nervous system to get the memo that the danger was over.

Except the danger had been over for two years.

That's how long I'd been out of the marriage - out of the chaos and manipulation and crazy making. Beyond the emotional trauma I worked so hard to heal. But there I was. 2am. Heart pounding. Completely stuck. And clueless why this was happening again.

That's when I heard it: "You're out of runway. Turn around."

Runway? What am I running from?

(That's what the turn around part meant.)

I had healed the trauma, but I hadn't healed the part of me that stayed for it. The part that was so terrified of being abandoned that she did whatever it took not to be left. She was about three years old and she'd been there the whole time, even before he was.

In those two years I'd spent healing after my marriage, I never realized it was her trauma that kept me stuck in it. And this was her panic I was feeling.

When I turned toward her - when I finally scooped her up and said, I'm here, I've got you, and I'm not going anywhere, that's when the real healing began. It was different - and deeper - and I didn't know it then, but it's where my Return to Self program took root.

Because you know me...I'm gonna use every bit of real life experience I get. ๐Ÿ˜‰

All the work I did over the next several months - everything that brought me back to me, not just the trauma healing - I condensed into a 60-day guided process for the women and men who are exactly where I was that night. Stuck. Doing everything they know to do and still not back in their skin.

If that's you - the Sacred Shift is where you want to start. One hour, one-on-one. We find your story, trace it back to where it actually began, and for the first time you get to see it for what it is. Not who you are - just a very old, very deep-rooted false belief a much younger version of you made up to survive. I promise you, it's not what you think.

Hi my friends, thank you for the replies to my last email - your stories reminded me why I do this work. Thank you for trusting me with them. Six years out, so much is more clear than when I was in the thick of it - especially how many women have been there, or are stuck there now. They feel like they've lost a part of who they are - they don't recognize themselves anymore and they're not sure when or how it happened. Or they DO know, but they don't know how to get back to her. That...

6 years ago today, my life was permanently and perfectly changed. And it was the bravest and hardest thing I've ever done. One month before, I sat on the floor in front of my husband, having had enough of the silent chasm between us. Three weeks of walking on eggshells, waiting for another round of shut down/shut out mode to pass. I'd finally realized after almost a decade, that it happened in cycles, although I didn't know why yet. This time felt different - more harsh. Maybe it was the...

Reader, I want to tell you about Courtney: She came to me about a year ago and couldn't tell me what was wrong - only that she couldn't stand to be in her own skin. She was exhausted in that bone-deep way that sleep doesn't fix, and it was showing up everywhere - in her relationships, her work, her withdrawal from the people and things she loved. She knew something was very wrong, but she had no idea what or why. Here's what I find, almost without exception: the thing that's keeping someone...
