This has been on my head lately.

Hey Reader,

This has been on my head a lot lately, especially in this trust recession we're living in right now.

There are people who think if you're feeling stuck and something's not shifting, you must be doing it wrong. That you should try harder, think differently, or just push yourself to move through it.

I had a coach ask me once, when I was resisting the direction they were steering me, "Do you think maybe you're standing in your own way?"

I sat with the question and realized they were right - there was a part of me standing in my way...

...with her hand up, saying "No, Love - that way's not true for you."

She's the one I needed to listen to - the part of me that knew me best.

That was a pivotal moment in coming back to myself - the discernment of my own inner-voice. That part of me wasn't blocking, she was guiding.

That's why this work is so important to me.

Because when you learn to abandon yourself to survive emotional pain and trauma - when you don't know who or what to trust anymore - it's not about moving on or pushing through or becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting and relearning how to trust you - and coming all the way home to yourself.

And that might take a minute.

Take your time. Some of the best work happens in that space in-between.

With love ❤️

This is where it gets really good.

Reader, when someone comes to me with a problem they’re struggling with, the first thing I do isn’t to analyze it, but to ask them to drop down into how they feel about it - right now, in this moment. Just one or two words. Whatever's most true. Then I ask them to close their eyes, sit with that feeling, and ask it: how old are you? Whatever number comes first - before the brain has a chance to edit it - that's the one. Sometimes it's 5. Sometimes it's 3. Sometimes it's 8 or 12. That number...

I can spot what's keeping you stuck in about 10 minutes flat

Hi Friends! First - thank you for all the birthday blessings last month. It meant more than you know. And I love that so many of you took me up on my $37 Sacred Shift! That was the real blessing - what an honor to be on this journey with you. You know that feeling when someone says "just be yourself" and you think...but who IS that anymore? When you used to know exactly who you were, what you wanted, what felt right - and now there's just this constant questioning of everything? I can spot...

This has been a long time coming.

Hey Reader, Yesterday, someone asked me what's different now, on the other side of everything I've been through. The first word that came to mind was peace. Just...peace. Not that life doesn't still offer up hard things, but they don't shake me like they did for a long time. I feel different in my body now - like I'm finally living in my own skin. I didn't realize how much I lived on high-alert - until I didn't. I've lived alone now for the last 6 years (first time in my life!) and I...
