We don’t need to perform
for a system that was not built for us.
But many of us were taught to try anyway.
So we became:
the strong one
the capable one
the one who never stops
the one who takes pride in handling it by ourselves
Even when our bodies were tired and it ruined our natural rhythm of sleep and digestion
Even when it cost us our peace and our relationships. We even start guilt tripping ourselves concluding it all happened because we were over ambitious
But it is not about ambition, it is deep rooted conditioning.
And the burnout, sleep problems, digestion issues and chronic fatigue?
It’s your body
refusing to keep proving itself
to spaces that cannot hold you.
You are allowed to step out. Question is: Are you going to wait till your life gets miserable beyond recognition?
Love,
Ra

To step outside of the loop,
To step outside of the expectations,
To stop blaming ourselves,
To stop blaming others,
To consciously or unconsciously seek permission to exist as we are, is the first real act of self - love. And when we do, slowly, quietly... like sunlight through forest leaves, we remember: Our bodies hold wisdom. Our emotions hold truth. Reality is not something to escape, It is a song to join.
May we all have the courage to live from the wisdom of our heart, Be Love. Be Kind.
Love from my little forest,

No every struggle you have, started with you. Some of the everyday struggles you have started as a learning that was inherited, carried quietly through generations. Healing begins the moment you are aware of this. Save this if something here felt familiar, Share it with a sister friend who needs to hear this.
Sending inspiration, prayers & soft hugs from my little Dutch forest,

When our world is going through war and conflict, the impact is not only political or economic. It is also psychological and deeply human. Our ancestors lived through wars, migration, displacement and scarcity. Their bodies adapted to survive those realities. Today when we witness global instability again, many nervous systems unconsciously return to survival patterns, even when you maybe geographically safe. This may show up as chronic pain, gut problems, depression, anxiety or emotional fatigue. Understanding this connection does not mean we lose hope or dwell in the past. It means we become more compassionate towards ourselves and eachother. In times of collective pain, stress and panic, tending to our own heart, nervous system, cultivating kindness, calm and choosing empathy is the most important. They are part of how humanity heals.
Sending prayers to all who may need it today,
Ra

Many of us were taught love means sacrifice. To give. To hold everyone and everything together. To keep pouring, even when we are exhausted and empty. To show up even when you are dragging yourself in chronic fatigue and exhaution. But real healing teaches us something deeper. The people we love, be it our partners, our family, friends, our customers & clients - they don't need the exhausted version of us. Let them have the rested version of us, let them get used to the present version of us. Let us gift this to everyone around us. When we take the time to tend to our heart and our body, our relationships begin to change in profound ways. We listen differently. We respond differently. We love, give & serve without resentment. And the people around us feel it. Healing is not a selfish act. It is one of the greatest gifts we can offer the people we love. 🌷❤️When we heal ourselves, the love we gives carry a different energy. Change your life & energetics of business by changing the way you treat yourself.
Love,

This is something I saw in both Eastern and Western women alike. The strong and sensitive ones were used, abused and thrown away. They had chronic fatigue and pain. Most of them have had atleast one burn out to mention. I noticed this in almost every woman I worked with in the last two decades. The definition of " Strong" had to be redefined. There is so much unlearning to do when it comes to this one word.
Strong women are the most exhausted. They carry the emotions no one wanted to face. The responsibilities no one wanted to take. The silence no one wanted to break. Many women became strong because they had no other choice. But strength was never meant to be constant survival.
Strength also means: Choosing rest
Setting healthy boundaries
Putting the weight down so you can recover
and allowing yourself to be held 🌳❤️
Healing begins when you say- I am allowed to rest 🦋.
May you continue to heal and unlearn all that needs to be unlearned.
Thank you all for being here, I am truly grateful for this little space. These footages are from my homeland - Kerala/ Keralam in the south of India.

If you don't constantly define success, you unconsciously inherit it.
From your family's survival patterns, from hustle culture, from a world that praises overwork and calls it ambition.
Many high achieving women were taught to: Be productive always and to be everything for everyone. and somewhere along the way, health, sleep and intimacy became negotiable. But the truth is a dysregulated nervous system cannot sustain real success. Burnout, anxiety, chronic fatigue are not personal failures but biological signals. Healing begins with rest, intentional recovery, deep sleep and relearning safety in your body. Understanding the language of your body is the key to building a meaningful life without sacrificing your well - being. Heal, Lead, Dream and grow beyond Ancestral patterns and trauma.
Slots open for June, July & August for Private sessions & Retreats. 🌷❤️🌳Get in touch with me to know more.

Collective healing is not about rewriting history in a selective way to please certain groups, its not about erasing what actually happened. It's not about creating a sense of false pride, hope and peace. Ancestral healing asks us to stand up where something is wrong and to stay in the work of repairing this together. Save this if you are done with spiritual bypassing. If you are ready for responsibility rooted in care, stay 🌷.
