The thing about developmental trauma(sustained abuse, neglect, or loss during early childhood years) or sustained abuse in adult years is that it rewires what “knowing” feels like.

If your system was shaped by chaos, stress, or unpredictability calm doesn’t register as safe.

It registers as suspicious. Boring. Wrong somehow. For some calm registers as anxiety.

This is particularly strong in relational patterns as we crave what we’ve always known. Even if the relationship is toxic and unhealthy. You’re questioning why do I attract people like this - this is your answer.

So when people say “when you know, you’ll know” what they don’t say is that knowing requires a nervous system that trusts its own signals.

I would add that saying this is less about the person saying it, and more about the person saying it NOT wanting to sit with you and your uncertainty. ~ yes, I said what I said.

The work here is layered. Understanding the wisdom of the body. Learning to tolerate your own discomfort. Building the foundation for your safety. Finding the RIGHT tools and processes for you to move through emotions and release trauma. And slowing down and getting in tune with the body to trust what it’s telling you.

What if you’ve known for a while - and the real question is whether you feel safe enough to act on it?

If that question landed somewhere in your body, Radiant Authenticity might be your next step. Link in bio.

You don’t need to go on a spirit quest in the Costa Rican jungle to recharge your batteries.

But it might serve to take a little peek under the hood of what governs your patterns. With a little bit of humility, some grit, and a lot of self love, I promise you can do the work to rewire the patterns that kept you from asking a friend or family member for help when needed it most. ❤️

It’s the work we do together inside Radiant Authenticity.

Let’s drop the label for a second… because they probably weren’t narcissistic. Stats show that this diagnosis is actually quite rare — but that doesn’t mean they had healthy emotional regulation, maturity, or processing skills. And honestly? It fu**ed you up then, and it’s still wreaking havoc in your life.

This post speaks directly to those of you who had a parent who was always the victim — and you took on the role of caretaker way too young.

Now you fear your own feelings because:

1. No one taught you the skill of emotional processing
2. You have a deep-rooted fear that you’ll become
the victim too — so you avoid feeling altogether

Good news: you don’t have to choose between strength and feeling.

You get to be both. You get to be someone who moves through hard things with honesty, accountability, and grace — not someone who bypasses them entirely.

That’s what learning to feel really looks like. And you’re allowed to take your time getting there.

Save this if it landed. Share it with someone who needed to read it. ❤️

Tossed around a lot in healing spaces, this one gets used as both permission and punishment.

Sometimes it’s genuinely compassionate: a reminder that timing is real, that pressure doesn’t create transformation.

And sometimes it’s the softest form of spiritual bypassing there is. A way of letting ourselves off the hook without ever getting curious about what’s actually in the way.

The difference matters.

Not ready can mean: I need more time, more safety, more support. That’s real and worth honouring.

Not ready can also mean: the discomfort of staying is still more familiar than the discomfort of changing. And familiar has always felt a lot like safe.

Which one is yours right now? Sit with that. No judgment — just honest inquiry.

Radiant Authenticity is where we do exactly this.

Join me for a 90 minute breathwork experience at Modo Yoga Olympic Village

This practice is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, and release stress and emotion through an active guided breath.

Breathwork gently supports nervous system regulation, emotional release, and a deeper sense of presence.

I guide the session in a grounded and supportive way, and we will close with sound bowls, chimes, and an ocean drum to support rest and integration.

Saturday April 18th, 2026
4:00 p.m.
Modo Yoga North Vancouver
Investment $66

Space is intentionally limited to maintain intimacy and support throughout the session.

If this is your first time with breathwork and you are feeling curious but unsure, please message me. I am happy to answer any questions and help you decide if this session is a good fit. 💙

I can still hear my dad’s loud, booming voice when I was a kid: “Sabrina, I’ve been there. I’ve done that - don’t fu***ng do it.” As if that wise declaration would actually stop me from trying on the T-shirt myself. 😅 It almost never did.

I was reflecting recently on this man with a heart of gold - someone who would literally give the shirt off his back for anyone. He taught me a lot of things, but one of them was the opposite of what I teach today.

And I still surprise myself sometimes - nine years into my own healing journey and over 900 days of sobriety - that I still choose the path of least resistance.

Except instead of smoking my feelings away, sometimes I eat them. Sometimes they’re addressed with a full Amazon cart.

What I notice in myself and others is that we’ve all acquired PhD-level knowledge - attachment styles, the nervous system, popular psychology. I have a diploma in counselling and many hours of subsequent training in somatics and breathwork. And I’m still guilty of using “there’s more to learn” to outrun my problems.

I know you’re the same. I’ve had probably 30 conversations in 2026 where someone, instead of doing the embodiment work, believes they’ll resolve their problem with more information.

The work isn’t learning more.
The work is doing less - so your body registers safety, and then you can slowly integrate change.

This is what it looks like when a room full of people finally exhale.

Not performing. Not pushing. Just - landing.

Breathwork isn’t a sprint to release as much as possible in 90 minutes. It’s a practice.

One your nervous system learns to recognize as safe.

Where the exhale is actually an exhale. Not a bracing.

We’re gathering again April 18th

Breathwork and sound healing.
90 minutes.
$66.
Space is limited.

The biggest struggle with navigating emotions isn’t that emotions exist in the first place. It’s that we’ve been taught to fight them, resist them, or tell ourselves they shouldn’t be there.

Neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor explains that the chemical surge of an emotion in the body lasts about 90 seconds. Everything after that is the story we keep telling ourselves.

Let’s clear something up.

Sitting with your feelings does not require you to meditate in the forest for six hours, carve out an hour of journal time, or do a round of psilocybin.

It takes 90 fu***ng seconds.

When an emotion rises:

- Notice the emotion
- Pause instead of reacting
- Name the emotion and observe the sensation in your body
- Give it permission to be there while breathing and let the wave pass

Right now I’m navigating grief and it has been showing up often.

But I’m not sitting in grief for 90 minutes.

Most of the time I pause, name it, breathe with it, and let it move through.

Three minutes later, the wave passes. (I mean, sometimes I do wanna burn my life down to the ground, but that also passes quickly 🤪 … and I’m in the business of normalizing this feeling)

This is the work we do in Radiant Authenticity.

Learning how to be with what’s real without abandoning yourself in the process.

If you’ve never actually practiced letting an emotion move through you instead of fighting it, try it the next time one shows up.
