I was going to save this for August’s Soul Notes, but I just couldn’t wait! 😊

Here’s me as a kid in my favorite place 👆🏻- camping at the springs with my family. Barefoot. Free. Beaming.

I didn’t realize how much I missed this me until just a few years ago, when a brutally painful chapter brought me to my knees - and surprisingly, back to her.

This is who we are before we decide otherwise. Before the world tells us who we have to be to feel loved, safe, accepted. Before we adjust to everyone around us and forget who WE are.

But I didn’t just see or hear her.
I did the deep work to bring her back - so she could live and breathe again in her own Divine light.

WHY?

Because SHE is the one who was stuck in a trauma response - SHE was the one who needed help.

I had done the work to recover from the trauma and grief of betrayal, but I could not shake the anxiety and self-doubt that was left in it's wake, no matter how much therapy I did. I knew I had to go deeper - and that's where I found her.

That journey changed me - and my work - profoundly.

This is not your mama’s inner-child work. 😊
This is Soul work.

Some of you have worked at this depth with me, and it’s my absolute joy to continue walking with as you heal and integrate these beautiful parts of you.

Trying to "let that s**t go" before you're ready - before you've learned what you came to learn from it - about yourSelf, about life, about Love - is more of a spiritual bypass than a healing.

I hope you use every bit of it to your good, even if others are impatient or uncomfortable with your pain and your process. Let THEM go if you need to, but don't you dare sell out on the gifts you came to get.

Unwrap it all - THEN - let that s**t go. ~Kate ❤️

...usually right after your
"What the F*** and I DOING?!" moment.

When the Soul nudges you awake, you're READY!

And no - you WON'T have the answers yet. But now you'll have the right questions. ❤️

Betrayal trauma is one of the hardest traumas to heal.

It will open deep, unhealed wounds from our past - abandonment, attachment, abuse - and leave us stranded and stuck in the aftermath.

It comes in waves, triggered by the most unexpected events - the person driving slow in the fast lane; the soliciter that ignores the "no soliciting sign" and wakes the baby with the doorbell - ripping open that raw wound of violation again and again.

We feel hyper-sensitive and impatient - we grieve the loss of inner-peace, safety and trust. We question our own sanity and wonder if we were ever, or will ever BE, the person we once were.

Then, just as suddenly - we remember. We get up off the floor and we crack that anger open - we let it take us all the way to the pain we're desperately protecting. It becomes the catalyst to recover WHO WE ARE, finally and completely.

This is the hard work of recovering from betrayal. It will rock you to your core - and the core is exactly where ypu need to be to heal a lifetime of betraying yourSelf.

If I'm speaking to YOU (and you already know if I am) you don't have to do it alone. You're not crazy - you're READY. I'm here and I can help. DM me - I got you! ~Kate ❤️

THIS.

What are you saying to that little person who still lives inside you? This is the part of you that actually receives your cristicism and judgment.

What she NEEDS is your love, validation and acceptance. What she NEEDS is to be seen and heard and cherished.

Sound too woo-woo for you? Just TRY IT!

Turn TOWARD the Trigger next time you feel anxiety, self-doubt, anger, or even shame - next time you're afraid to use your voice for fear of abandonment or judgment. Rather than self-medicate, meditate or isolate, turn toward the part of you that's feeling it and connect. SHE is the one who's reeling - YOU are the one who's witnessing.

When we're triggered, our brain thinks it's happening in real time - to US - but it's not. That's what a trigger is - an unhealed wound or trauma being reactivated.

Learning how to Turn Toward the Trigger can not only stop anxiety and panic in it's tracks, but it instantly connects you with the part of you that is actually experiencing it. It goes straight to the source - a direct route to begin to heal the abandonment, betrayal, and attachment wounds you may not even know you have.

This is why we get stuck in "coping" cycles vs. actually healing- because we focus on the wrong thing! We focus on our adult, but it's the Child-Self that's struggling. When we learn to stay in our adult Self and be WITH that part, we can co-regulate, create safety, build trust, and literally unravel years of negative programming.

If I'm talking to you (and you already know if I am) - I can help! You CAN heal. You CAN live without anxiety and self-doubt. You CAN stop people pleasing and live true to YOU. And it does NOT require reliving childhood pain and trauma.

I know it sounds "out there", but it's really the most organic and natural practice I've ever done. I will teach you the method I still practice daily, and the steps I used to identify and heal the root wound (I never knew I had) that kept me stuck in toxic, codependent cycles most of my life. It was THE game-changer that finally set me free!

Just DM me or drop a comment below - I got you! ❤️

So much love,
~Kate

I love experiences that remind me that my work WORKS!

Yesterday, I fired a contractor. (☝️this is me joyfully waving buh bye)

All the triggers were there - he was refusing accountability, denying, projecting, attacking, gaslighting - followed by the suck-up text and mansplaining bs to try to re-engage me (so he didn't lose the job).

Sound familiar?

This was after 5 days of minimizing, not showing up, and even - (wait for it...) telling me to "calm down" when I called someone else to find the source of a leak on the roof/chimney HE installed/repaired 6 months ago.

Nope. Done.The end. Buh Bye.

It felt soooo good to recognize what I was dealing with and take care of mySelf RIGHT THEN, without belaboring the decision or explaining myself. He was clearly already "in his place" - he didn't need ME put him there. 🤣

Just a clear, "No thank you, that won't be necessary, the insurance company will be in touch if they need anything from you." felt so much better.

🌟This is soooo different than how I would have handled this 5 years ago! 🌟

WHY?? Because I've Turned TOWARD my Triggers and I've done the work to HEAL them, rather than continue outdated coping strategies - the ones that cause stress, anxiety and a s**t-ton of codependent toxicity. 💩

Triggers aren't particular - they show up wherever YOU are, be that with a contractor, a coworker, a partner, child, parent, sibling, or even a complete stranger. (you know - that person driving slow in the fast lane?😫)

If this sparks something for YOU, let me know and I'll fill you in on the steps I took to get here! It's not hard when you learn how - and you have the right support.

I got you! ❤️
