My wonder is not 'childlike'...my silliness and whimsy are old and battle worn, indeed.

I EARNED IT, I've nurtured and protected it for so long.

I've had people ask me "How do you continue to trust and love and find beauty and wonder in the world after experiencing [fill in the blank]?"

My answer to that question is a 3-part answer:

1️⃣ HOW CAN I NOT?

2️⃣ WITH BOUNDARIES LEARNED AND IMPLEMENTED FROM THOSE EXPERIENCES.

3️⃣ KNOWING THAT THESE THINGS ARE MINE TO KEEP, AND CHOOSING WITH EVERY CELL OF MY BODY TO NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE IT FROM ME.

My Wonder is Ancient.

Please enjoy this throwback to 13 years ago when my eldest cat, Miu (pronounced Me-you), used to ride my kiddo's rocking horse...

The rocking horse had button in its ear you could push to make it whinney but it would whinney on its own quite frequently, I have to assume out of either enjoyment that the cat was riding it or to get our attention...maybe both lol

It's a memory that makes my heart smile...

Has anything made your heart smile this week? Or is there something that makes your heart smile when you think of it or see something that reminds you? Tell me in the comments, I'd love to know!

An intuitive message from your Amygdala is coming this September 2024 to the Self-Healing Support Membership to activate healing from chronic stress, anxiety, and overwhelm!

If you're ready to get out of your own way, this workshop will help you break through all the subconscious crap that causes setbacks, self-sabotage, and feeling stuck.

Let's identify the invisible barriers that are your nervous system and subconscious mind trying to protect you from disappointment, failure, rejection, and other deeply held fears so that you can break down those invisibly, but VERY REAL, barriers to creating the health, life, and relationships you've been trying so hard to create!

Let me help you create more of what you want, LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!

Like my new t-shirt?

I sure do! But, admittedly, I'm a bit partial to the design because I designed it...

I've included my inspiration for the design in pic 2, that's Loki "helping" me with work by laying across my shoulders rather adorably, but intrusively. I feel that I captured his personality well!

I also wanted to mention that this shirt, and soon-to-be others, are available for purchase via Printify...I'll put the link in the comments in case you're a cat lady in need of a fun t-shirt to represent this election season.

If you're seeking nervous system regulation practices with a goal or expectation of being 100% regulated 100% of the time, to avoid feeling emotions, or bypass uncomfortable feelings ...

Then you'll likely struggle to maintain your NS regulation practice!

If the benefits of NS regulation feel fleeting...
If you feel like it's not working for you...
If you feel like you're having setbacks in progress...
If you feel like something's missing that's preventing you from successfully regulating...

Join my Nervous System Regulation Workshop to:
😻 fill in the blanks about NS regulation
😻 receive guidance & insight about what is/isn't working
😻 learn what it takes to successfully regulate
😻 learn what regulation looks like in real life
😻 learn the difference between being regulated and self-soothing
😻 learn & practice somatic regulation techniques

If you're currently trying to get regulated or are curious about NS regulation, this workshop is right for you!

Sign up now for my Nervous System Regulation Workshop on September 21, 2024 at 1pm ET online from the comfort of wherever you are!

My day in images...

Pic #1 of my derpy, beautiful, liquid black cat Loki is how I started my day

Pic #2 of my new t-shirt that just arrived brought a little joy to my day (and the design is my artistic creation in print, so a-woohoo to it turning out as awesome as I imagined!)

Happy Thursday 😺

Are you sick of struggling to create what you want?

That invisible barrier holding you back is real and you can remove blocks or barriers by addressing your subconscious beliefs...

Subconscious beliefs are not what we *THINK*, it's what we subconsciously believe to be true about ourselves, what we do/do not deserve, the world, and our place/role in the world.

By identifying what's under the surface driving our thoughts, feelings, actions, and outcomes we can create MORE of WHAT WE WANT.

If you're in a repetitive pattern of struggling with physical or emotional health, emotional regulation, physical health, achieving your goals, finding your purpose, shifting habits, or making improvements to your health/life/relationships...

OVERCOMING LIMITING BELIEFS will provide insight to shift the narrative about yourself, help you navigate resistance faster and with greater ease, restore a sense of flow where you've felt stuck, and help clear any unprocessed emotions that have been weighing you down.

It's time for you to BE SUPPORTED to get you where you want to be so you don't have to keep struggling to get there on your own. You'll be AMAZED at what you can accomplish on your own AFTER breaking free from the subconscious blocks you KNOW EXIST but can't see!

No one can see all the subconscious information we carry with us, that's how human beings work! But you can commit to working with someone who can help you see under the surface to make it easier to navigate beyond it!

Let's work together to identify and overcome the invisible boulder in your way!
SIGN UP for the OVERCOME LIMITING BELIEFS+ Workshop...

📌 1st session Saturday Sept 7th from 11a - 3p ET online from wherever you are...
📌 4 follow-up sessions (these are the +'s!) to be scheduled at the 1st workshop to support you
📌 8 hours of support for only $150

And getting your body energies to match the energy of what you WANT MORE OF instead of what you already have or want LESS of...

LISTEN to Your Body: the BASIC Needs Masterclass introduces you to applied somatics that will help you reconnect with your body, increase your self-awareness, improve your ability to recover from discomfort, and connect you to your true power to influence how you feel and function.

It all begins with supporting our Basic Human Needs with attention and new responses as you go through the day...and it ends with your own body becoming your #1 self-care tool.

All human beings already listen to their body's signals about our basic needs for hunger, thirst, rest, elimination, and safety/security...

But do you ever miss or delay your response? This is a conditioned response to the signals and a NEW response opens up doors to NEW experiences, like less discomfort and faster recovery from discomfort and more.

New responses is where the HEALING and IMPROVED OUTCOMES AND EXPERIENCES happen!

When you learn to listen and respond in new ways, you'll improve how you feel while also supporting your body's natural healing and regulating systems to help you get out of survival mode and set yourself up to thrive!

This simple, somatic self-care practice is the path from where you are to where you want to be in your health, life, and relationships...

Access the masterclass, self-assessment worksheet, and 10-day listen to your body challenge completely free today!

The August Intuitive Healing Message from your Body is from your EYES...

Your EYES want you to see yourself beyond your trauma/survival patterns.
You are NOT your Anxiety, Triggers, or Self-sabotaging behaviors.
You are NOT your Mistrust, Disconnection, or any other survival/coping-learned patterns you have.

Your authentic self is a valuable, worthy, amazing human being whose potential is greater than your imagination and your protective survival patterns will let you see.

Deep down, there is fear of being seen, vulnerable, 'too much', disliked, rejected, hated, or harmed...based on past experiences when it didn't feel safe to shine your light, so you dimmed your light to cope and survive.

At the time, it was necessary...but the world needs your light to shine, it needs your authentic expression of self!

But it is possible to help your body's protective survival systems feel safe to seek and be your most authentic self...

When I started my healing journey, it was because the physical pain and symptoms had become overwhelming and unbearable.

I was looking for physical relief as a result of my healing efforts so much that I missed the huge and early impact my efforts had on improving my emotional symptoms.

I had severe chronic anxiety and panic attacks that required me to plan around it to function in my day-to-day life... This way of managing my anxiety was okay, but if I'm real...this way had my anxiety managing me and it also impacted those closest to me at times.

I wasn't even the first person to notice the significant improvement in my anxiety, my partner noticed first and brought it to my attention!

I was so focused on what I thought healing *should* look like for me that I missed it altogether.

This is one of many reasons why we need support to heal, change, and improve...
To help us identify our needs, focus on the actions aligned with what we need/want, and see our efforts and progress from a different perspective, one that's often blocked from our view by the pain or obstacles we're trying to overcome.

Support comes in a variety of ways...if you would like to learn more about getting the support you need, DM me or comment with 🦁

I'm a day late sharing this, but yesterday was my 18th wedding anniversary.

I can't believe I've been married for 18 years and in a relationship with the same person for 22.

I never imagined this milestone possible for me until I met someone willing to have difficult conversations about safety, healing, and feeling seen in healthy relationships.

I came into this relationship full of self-sabotaging behaviors, emotionally dysregulated and reactive, co-dependent, and with my walls up (probably my foot in the door in case I needed to escape, too, if I'm to be completely honest).

It took me a while to figure out that a lot of these problematic behaviors and emotional patterns were because relationships didn't feel safe to me.

In more recent years I’ve been able to form an incredibly deep connection with this wonderful human whom I’ve known for more than 20 years but feel like I’m getting to know a whole new side of him that’s been there all along but I couldn’t see or experience it through my survival stress from the past.

It’s taken more than just healing emotions or talking through my past issues to overcome such immense blocks and barriers I had to joy, love, connection, and relationships…

It took getting to the root causes, the most deeply rooted wounds, fears, and pain I carried in my body. Then supporting a shift in the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors associated with them…

It took ongoing practice with plenty of failures and setbacks, the commitment to doing it over and over even when it felt uncomfortable or didn’t seem like it was working…

It took identifying old patterns of coping and feeling safe and developing NEW ways to cope with discomfort and restore safety and regulation in my body AND mind…
These are things I can teach you…if you are ready for a BIG change in yourself, your relationships, your relationship WITH YOURSELF, your health, or any aspect of your life.

If you can no longer tolerate where or how things are and are ready for something new…let’s chat.

DM me if you want to learn more about what it takes and what resources are available.

Image of cursive text "Jeremy Bearimy" (from the TV show 'The Good Place' with blue background.

The path to healing and improvement is more like a Jeremy Bearimy than a straight line.

Try to keep that in mind as you work toward that goal, even if you're not progressing in a straight line - you're still progressing!

I know all too well what it feels like when navigating those dips and curves. It feels like progress lost, like a setback, and like you may never get where you want to be...

The most helpful thing you can do in response to these feelings or to the dips and curves you encounter is to remind yourself that the reality is that it is still progress no matter how it feels...the feeling is not your FULL reality, it's temporary.

Remind yourself of this a thousand times if you need to...then take action to soothe and calm yourself (a walk, focusing on breathing, hugs from someone...whatever works to calm and soothe you).

YOU get to choose the story of you and your healing journey...the automatic one is the discomfort and fear talking, choose to reiterate a NEW story in your mind to get you back on track and recover faster from any unpleasant feelings that crop up in response to the experiences.

Keep in mind that if you still struggle after trying this, you may need more support.

If you are making an effort to heal, self-care, self-soothe, or self-improve then I assure you that you're doing ENOUGH...

Let's chat about your struggles and goals anytime to identify resources that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be! LINK in BIO

Here are some pictures from our family vacation:
The beautifully lit up circle in Centro Madrid Spain...
And my COVIDcation face after spending the day getting medical attention. I hope I looked as "can't be arsed" as much as I feel...

I'm in Spain with mi familia and we've all contracted Covid-19, so we're making the best of a really crappy situation.

In the past, I would have taken this way more personally. I would have believed the story and meaning my mind created about such a crappy situation...

It would have sounded a lot like "NOTHING ever goes right", "This ALWAYS happens to me", "I knew we SHOULD HAVE (fill in the blank)", "We just aren't even allowed to have any fun", or "This is what I get, I don't deserve nice things".

I've done a lot of self-healing work to dig up my old stories and beliefs and create new ones through practice. I've also done a lot of somatic healing work to repattern trauma, survival stress, and limiting beliefs that kept me unintentionally playing out thoughts, feelings, stories, and behaviors that led me right back into more old pain and limitation patterns.

I'm holding a workshop soon to help others identify a limiting belief, repattern it, learn how to break the cycles with practice, and gain a lot of self-awareness and insight into the WHY things are the way they are.

If you want to learn more about it, I'll put the link in the comments...

Meanwhile, I'm graciously accepting any offers of well-wishes and/or healing support for me and my family dealing with covid on vacation instead of just enjoying ourselves...I kinda can't wait to be in my own bed 😴😷🫠
