✨ Don’t dim your light to fit into spaces that don’t see your worth ✨

When you walk into a room with a calm heart and good intentions but feel unseen, overlooked, or misunderstood - pause. It’s not a sign that something’s wrong with you. It’s often a sign that your energy is too expansive for spaces built on superficiality.

You don’t need to chase validation or shrink to be accepted.

Stay true to your frequency. Protect your peace. Honour your journey.

🌟 What’s really holding you back? 🌟

When you close your eyes and imagine your best life, what do you see?

More energy? More peace? Freedom from the past? A deeper sense of purpose?

You’re capable of more than you’ve been led to believe. You were never meant to live a life weighed down by exhaustion, old stories, or emotional residue from generations before you. You’re here to transform, to thrive, and to remember who you are.

🧬 Releasing your potential isn’t just about physical health. It means looking at the emotional, mental, and spiritual layers too - because trauma, especially the kind passed down through generations, can live in your body without you even realising it.

So let me ask you this:

💭 What ancestral patterns might still be influencing your health and choices today?
💭 Have you ever felt the pull to do things differently, but weren’t sure where to begin?
💭 Do you feel you’re here to help others, but need to reconnect with your own clarity first?

Let this be your reminder that you can reset. You can become the clearest, most grounded version of yourself. The journey starts when you say yes to yourself, fully.

You don’t need a perfect plan - you just need a moment of truth, and the willingness to take one aligned step forward ✨

Why We Numb Out 💭➡🍷📱🍔

We all have our ways of escaping.
Endless scrolling. Emotional eating. Overworking. Another glass of wine.

It’s not because we’re lazy or broken.
It’s because, at some point, numbing out helped us survive.

Inside each of us are younger parts - fragments of our inner world that still carry the pain we couldn’t process at the time.
Shame. Fear. Grief. The belief that we’re unworthy or unlovable.

Dr. Richard Schwartz, founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), calls these “exiles.”
They’re the parts of us that were pushed away - often when we were children - because our emotions were too much for others to handle.

And now, rather than feel those buried emotions, we avoid them.
We distract, we numb, we protect ourselves the only way we know how.

But healing doesn’t come from shutting these parts down.
It comes from turning toward them with compassion, curiosity, and care.

IFS teaches that every part has a purpose - even the ones we judge the most.

You’re not broken.
You’re made up of many parts, and some of them are still waiting to be heard.

So next time you catch yourself reaching for the scroll, the snack, or the sixth tab open on your screen: pause.
Ask yourself: What am I not wanting to feel right now?

When we go through this cycle it’s heartbreaking 💔 because all of these parts are just waiting to be loved.

That moment of awareness is the beginning of something new.

🔥 What if your liver was holding your anger?

A few years ago, I felt like I was always carrying this invisible weight. I’d cleaned up my diet, meditated daily, and tried to stay positive, but something still felt off.

I didn’t know that one of the biggest turning points in my healing journey would be a liver–gallbladder flush.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver is the seat of repressed anger. When I started cleansing it, I didn’t just feel lighter in my body.

I felt like I was finally releasing years of suppressed emotion, resentment, and tension.

After that first flush, my digestion improved. My skin looked clearer. But what really stood out was how much calmer and more grounded I felt.

That experience changed everything for me. It was one of the first times I really understood that detoxing is so much more than just food. It’s about all 4 bodies: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

Most people are walking around with a backed-up system and a short fuse and they don’t realise the two are connected.

I’m curious…
👉 Have you ever felt like your body was storing emotions?
👉 Have you experienced a moment where a physical shift unlocked an emotional one?
👉 Have you ever felt like your body was holding onto something you couldn’t explain?

🧠💚 The words you speak become the chemistry you live in

Many people don’t realise how closely the subconscious mind is linked to the immune system.

Your body is always listening - especially to the things you repeat silently to yourself.

When the subconscious mind is filled with thoughts of fear, guilt, or unworthiness, the body shifts into a low-level stress response.

Over time, this can suppress immune function, disrupt digestion, and drain your energy, because the body thinks it's under threat.

But when we feed the subconscious mind with calm, empowering messages, the opposite happens:

🌟the nervous system relaxes
🌟the body feels safe
🌟healing becomes possible.

🌿 This is where affirmations come in as intentional, healing inputs.

By consciously choosing positive thoughts, and repeating them with sincerity, we begin to reprogram the internal patterns that keep us stuck.

A simple daily practice to get start is to choose a simple affirmation that resonates with you. It might be something like:

💬 “I am safe in my body”
💬 “I am worthy of deep rest”
💬 “My body knows how to heal”

You might choose to speak it out loud, write it down, or place it somewhere in your home where you’ll see it often.

The more we repeat these kinds of affirmations, the more the subconscious begins to accept them - and that has a direct influence on our hormonal balance, immune function, and emotional resilience.

You don’t need a complicated ritual.
Just your voice, your presence, and your willingness to begin again.

Fear taught silence, healing teaches voice 🔓🗣️

What we first feel isn’t always the full story.
This practice helps you move past the noise identify the real emotion beneath the surface, so that you can work toward healing.

🧘‍♂️ START HERE
Close your eyes.
Place one hand on your chest, the other on your belly.
Breathe in deeply… exhale with a sigh.
Repeat 3 times.

Now bring to mind a moment that stirred something in you, good or bad.

🔍 ASK YOURSELF
Where is it in my body?
(Tight chest? Knotted stomach?)

If this feeling had a colour or texture, what would it be?
(This gets you out of your head)

What emotion is sitting on top?
(Anger? Anxiety? Sadness?)

What’s underneath it?

Is the anger protecting fear?

Is the anxiety hiding a need for safety?

Is the sadness really unspoken grief?

What do I need right now to honour, not fix?
(Space? Movement? Boundaries?)

🔁 INTEGRATE
Breathe in through the nose… exhale through the mouth.
Name the core feeling aloud if you can.
Not to judge it.
Just to let your body know it’s safe to feel it.

That’s the work.
Simple. Subtle. Powerful.

🛠️ Two practices to begin coming back to yourself 🛠️

🌿 1. Expand your emotional awareness 🌿
Most of us grew up learning only a handful of ways to name how we feel: happy, sad, angry.
But underneath those are dozens of other, more layered emotions: guilt, shame, disappointment, tenderness, longing, grief, quiet joy, unease.

Start where you are:
Think of a moment from your past that still stirs something in you, something unfinished.
Then, gently ask:
👉 Where do I feel this in my body?
👉 What does it feel like - tightness? heaviness? heat?
👉 If I had to name the emotion underneath… what might it be?

The goal here is to be curious, rather than trying to find the 'correct' answer.
Naming what you feel creates space to understand it - and from there, to express it, relate to it, and let it shift and move through you.

🌿 2. Stay connected while it unfolds 🌿
You don’t need to have all the words figured out to speak up.

Instead of staying silent or pushing through, try something simple:

“Something’s coming up for me - I’m not sure what it is yet.”
“I need a moment. I’m feeling a little off and want to stay connected.”

It’s not about having the perfect script. It’s about staying with yourself as it’s happening.
That’s where real connection begins.
That’s how trust grows: first within you, and then between you and others.

🌟 You don’t have to have it all sorted out to begin.
You don’t have to get it “right.”
You just need to stay with yourself - in the discomfort, in the unknown, in the truth as it unfolds.

You don’t need to know it all before you begin.
You just need to be willing to listen, to feel, and to speak what’s true for you.

Let’s build a culture where honesty and presence are the norm and not the exception.

🌿 What is self-abandonment & are you doing it without realising? 🌿

Understanding your own self-abandoning behaviours isn’t just important. It’s essential if you want to truly support others in healing.

💭 So what is self-abandonment?

It’s any action you take that goes against your intuition, inner knowing, or True Self in order to be liked, loved, or accepted.

It can look like:
• Silencing your needs
• Suppressing your emotions
• Changing who you are to keep the peace
• Staying in relationships long past their expiry
• Playing small to avoid rejection

These behaviours often start in childhood, when we learn it’s safer to adapt than to authentically express. As Dr. Gabor Maté explains, when authenticity threatens attachment… attachment wins.

✨ That’s why so many of us become people-pleasers, perfectionists, overthinkers, or caretakers.

This is a survival tactic, but we can choose differently.

The healing begins when you start recognising these patterns in real time, with self-compassion and curiosity - not shame.

👁️ Are you ready to stop abandoning yourself and start coming home to who you truly are?
