Last week I went to a networking meeting and, as I sat listening to the women around the table, something really struck me.
We all had different stories and different circumstances, but there was one thing we shared in common.
That quiet moment of questioning: âIs this it?â or âIs this all there is for my life?â
That moment often appears after a life event or a significant change. Becoming a mother, losing a parent, experiencing illness or redundancy can all create a pause where the life youâre living no longer quite fits.
You can find yourself waking up exhausted from being on a merry-go-round, doing all the things youâre supposed to do to improve your life, the ones that usually start with âI should,â yet still ending up in exactly the same place, only more tired than before.
That was me. đ
This is usually when the âwhat is wrong with me?â noise begins to creep in.
The truth is, there is NOTHING wrong with you!
Youâre not broken or failing; youâre simply trying to create change using old data and old programming.
At some point in your childhood, your nervous system responded to a real or perceived threat. It doesnât matter whether that happened once or repeatedly.
Your brain stored that information because it was the fastest way to keep you safe. The thoughts, emotions, and sensations you experienced at the time didnât disappear; they became held in the body.
As an adult, when something genuinely triggering shows up, those same responses are activated again. And this is the part most women miss âŹď¸
When the âis this it?â moment arrives, itâs crucial to work with the nervous system rather than trying to think or push your way out of it.
This is how you give the brain and body new data, process what has remained unresolved, and create change that actually lasts.
This is the work I do through the Trauma Informed Nervous System (TINS) method. Itâs a guided, embodied process that requires experience, containment, and discernment, not more effort from you.
It isnât surface-level work, and it isnât a quick fix, but for the women who are ready to meet themselves honestly, it is transformative.
