STORY TIME … Showing Up For Yourself

Day 14: A “Twisted” Tale of Gratitude

This morning started with one of those conversations that slows you down in the best way.

I was talking with a friend about business… about growth… about everything we’re building right now in our independent businesses & communities. And somehow, without even trying, we found ourselves back at the beginning.

And I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

About where this all started.

Not the polished version people see today… but the real beginning.

Rooms with salt floors and a few chairs set up with hope.

Spaces that were quiet, unfinished, and full of vision.
Treatment rooms built piece by piece… one table, one shelf, one small upgrade at a time.

Late nights figuring things out … and still figuring it out.

Early mornings wondering if I was doing it right… and choosing to keep going anyway.

There was no blueprint.
Just belief.

Looking back at these photos, I don’t just see the space.
I see the energy poured into it.

I see the version of me who took a chance.
Who showed up even when it felt uncertain.
Who kept building something she could feel… before she could fully see it.

And honestly… it makes me emotional.

Because somewhere along the way, this became what it is today.

A space filled with life.
With people.
With healing.
With connection.
With laughter.
With stories.

And that doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens because people show up.

To every single client who walked through those early doors and trusted us when we were still figuring it out… thank you.

To the team who believed in this vision and helped bring it to life… thank you.

To everyone who has supported, shared, referred, encouraged, and been part of this journey… thank you.

It’s easy to stay focused on what’s next.
The growth.
The expansion.
The bigger vision.

But today reminded me how important it is to pause and look back.

Because this didn’t start big.

It started with heart.
With grit.
With belief and a simple thought of what if this works!

And I am so incredibly grateful for every step that got us here.

** What is one thing you can show gratitude for today?**

As always thank you for taking the time to read & allow me to share my story. (Thank you for the chat this morning my friend.)

STORY TIME … Showing Up For Yourself

Day 13: Learning to Trust Yourself Again

An absolutely humbling part of this journey I’ve had to face is realizing how much I stopped trusting myself.

Not in the obvious ways.

I have always been someone who can show up, figure things out, take care of people, run a business, carry responsibility.

But the deeper kind of trust… the quiet inner knowing… I lost that somewhere along the way.

For a long time I did not listen to myself.

I said yes when I meant no.
I stayed when something did not feel right.
I pushed past what my body was trying to tell me.
I ignored that feeling in my chest, that tightness in my stomach, that quiet voice that was trying to guide me.

And if I am being really honest… I did not even realize how often I was doing it.

I thought I was being strong.
I thought I was being supportive.
I thought I was doing the right thing.

But what I was really doing was abandoning myself in small ways… over and over again.

And that breaks something inside you.

Because every time you override your own needs… every time you silence your intuition… every time you choose someone else at your own expense…

You start to lose trust in yourself.

There were so many moments where my body knew.

Before my mind could explain it.
Before I could justify it.
My body knew.

And I ignored it.

Now I am learning to listen.

And I will be honest… it is not always easy.

Sometimes trusting yourself means making a decision that feels uncomfortable.
Sometimes it means disappointing someone.
Sometimes it means sitting with the fear of “what if I am wrong?”

But what I am learning is this…

Not trusting myself has cost me far more than trusting myself ever will.

Rebuilding that trust has been happening in small, quiet moments.

It looks like pausing and asking myself, “What do I actually need right now?”
It looks like honoring that answer… even when it is inconvenient.
It looks like setting a boundary and not explaining it ten different ways.
It looks like keeping the promises I make to myself.

And it also looks like giving myself grace when I am still learning.

Because there are still moments where I slip. Moments where I catch myself going back into old patterns.

But now I notice.

And instead of tearing myself apart, I come back to myself.

This has changed not just my personal life, but the way I show up in my work too.

At the spa, I see it all the time.

Clients come in disconnected from their bodies. Pushing through pain. Ignoring what their body has been asking for. Overriding it for work, for responsibilities, for everyone else.

And part of what we do… beyond the massage, the stretch work, the reiki, the sound bowls… is help people reconnect.

To feel again.
To listen again.
To trust what their body is telling them.

Because your body knows.

And the more I have learned to trust myself… the more I see how powerful that connection really is.

I am not all the way there yet.

But I am closer than I have ever been.

And for the first time in a long time… I feel like I am becoming someone I can rely on.

And that feels really good.

Where in your life are you being asked to trust yourself a little more right now?

Thank you as always for taking the time to read & allow me to share my story.

STORY TIME … “Showing Up For Yourself”

Day 12: When Healing Changes the Energy Around You

Things I did not consider when I started doing this work on myself was how much it would change the people and energy around me.

For most of my life I hated conflict.

I would do anything to avoid it. I would sacrifice my own needs just to keep the peace. I told myself that was part of who I was… that as an empath and someone who helps others heal, it was my role to show up, give, and make sure everyone else was okay.

But what I did not realize at the time was how much I was slowly abandoning myself in the process.

There was a part of me that felt unseen. Unrecognized. Unappreciated.

And the truth I had to face was this…

How could anyone truly see me when I did not even see myself?

I had spent so much of my life focused on others that I never stopped to understand what I needed, what I felt, or where my boundaries should have been.

I did not understand that I could help others and still protect my own energy.

That I could care deeply and still say no.

That I could show up for people without sacrificing myself in the process.

As I have started healing, my priorities have changed. My energy has changed.

And not everyone has been comfortable with that.

Some people understand it. Some grow with you.

And some resist it… sometimes strongly… because you are no longer the version of yourself that made things easier for them.

That has been one of the hardest parts of this process.

Learning that not everyone is meant to grow with you.

I am learning to meet people where they are instead of expecting them to handle things the way I would. I am learning to offer support when it genuinely comes from me… not from a place of needing validation, appreciation, or approval.

And I am learning something that has changed everything for me.

Not everyone gets full access to me anymore.

My energy is valuable. It is not unlimited. And it is not something I can continue giving away without intention.

Not everyone gets level 10 VIP access when their actions show they are at a level 2.

And that is okay.

Some people are in your life for a reason. Some for a season. Some for a lifetime.

All of them bring something with them. A lesson. Growth. Awareness.

And one of the hardest lessons I have had to learn is this…

The level of loyalty, care, and depth you feel for someone will not always be matched.

And that hurts. Especially when you are someone who feels deeply.

But it has also taught me to value the people who do show up, who do meet me, who do respect my boundaries and my energy.

To those people… thank you.

And to those who are meant to walk a different path… I truly wish you well, and I am grateful for the role you played in my life.

How I am showing up for myself now looks different.

It looks like setting boundaries even when it feels uncomfortable.
It looks like not over explaining myself when I say no.
It looks like checking in with my own needs before automatically saying yes to someone else.
It looks like protecting my time, my energy, and my peace.
It looks like giving from a place of genuine care, not from a place of needing to be valued.
It looks like allowing myself to walk away from situations that do not feel aligned, even when that is hard.

And most importantly…

It looks like finally recognizing that I am allowed to take up space in my own life.

Because healing does not just change how you feel.

It changes what you allow.

And that shift… changes everything.

Thank you as always for taking the time to read & allow me to share my story.

SCHOOL’S BACK IN SESSION …

Twisted Shamrock went back to class today… and honestly, it felt a little like the first day in a 90s movie.

Four of our massage therapists spent the day training in Manual Lymphatic Drainage with the amazing Wilda, learning new techniques that help the body move fluid, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Think of it as giving your lymphatic system a little nudge in the right direction.

This specialized technique can help support
• immune function
• detoxification
• reduction of swelling and puffiness
• post workout recovery
• sinus congestion relief
• post surgical healing

And the best part? It is incredibly gentle and deeply relaxing while still doing powerful work inside the body.

Today was Level One of training and we are just getting started. There are two more advanced levels ahead as our team continues expanding our wellness skills for our clients.

At Twisted Shamrock Studios & Spa, we are always learning, growing, and finding new ways to help people feel better in their bodies.

So stay tuned… because this amazing service will soon be making its way into our twisted little world, and we cannot wait to share more with you.

Class is in session … as we tackle day 2 tomorrow ... and things are about to get really good!

STORY TIME … “Showing Up For Yourself”

Day 11: The Quiet Return of Happiness

One thing no one really tells you when you start doing deep healing work is how happiness actually comes back.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I think I expected a big dramatic moment. Like one day I would wake up and the universe would roll out a red carpet and announce something like, “TA DA … happiness has officially returned!”

Cue confetti. Cue music. Cue some kind of emotional victory speech.

Yeah … that is not how it happened … lol.

Not long ago I woke up and started my morning like I normally do. Alarm clock. Getting ready. Coffee. Driving to the spa. Nothing dramatic. No life changing fireworks.

But something felt different.

Lighter.

I actually woke up excited to start my day. Not the “let’s push through and get everything done” kind of motivation. Just a quiet excitement to exist in the day.

When I got to the spa I realized I had a few extra minutes before going inside. That almost never happens for me, so instead of jumping right out of the car and starting my usual whirlwind of the day, I just sat there.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

The sun was warm through the windshield. I put on a meditation track, leaned back in my seat, and just breathed for a minute.

And then something happened that I did not expect.

This warmth started spreading through my chest. Not excitement. Not adrenaline. Just this calm, steady feeling of peace.

And I remember thinking, “Wait… what is this feeling?”

It was happiness.

Not the loud kind.

The quiet kind.

The kind that feels safe. The kind that feels calm. The kind that feels like your nervous system finally exhaled after holding its breath for a very long time.

And it completely caught me off guard.

I opened my eyes, looked over at my little twisted spa sitting there in the morning light, and I actually got a little emotional.

Tears in my eyes, sitting in my car like a weirdo having a moment before work.

And I just said out loud, “Thank you.”

Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for the growth. Thank you for getting me here.

In that moment everything felt quiet. My mind was not racing. My nervous system was not bracing for the next problem. I was just present.

And honestly I laughed a little too because after all the emotional digging, shadow work, nervous system resets, and the metaphorical wrecking ball I took to my life… happiness came back while I was sitting in my car listening to a meditation track.

Not exactly the dramatic movie moment I expected.

But it was real.

And it gave me a lot of clarity.

It reminded me why I chose to do this work in the first place. Why I chose to tear down and walk away from old patterns, old beliefs, people, situations and survival habits that were no longer serving me.

Why I chose not to let the fear of mental and emotional pain win …

Because on the other side of that work are moments like this.

Moments where happiness does not show up as excitement or chaos.

It shows up as calm.

It shows up as safety.

It shows up as the quiet realization that you are finally enjoying life again in simple ways.

Feeling the sun. Laughing with someone. Having a peaceful moment before the day begins. Knowing what relief … happiness and gratitude truly feels like.

And when gratitude starts showing up naturally in those moments, without forcing it, it is one of the clearest signs that something inside you is healing.

That you are finding your way back to yourself.

And honestly… sitting in my car that morning, slightly teary eyed and smiling at my little spa, I realized something very clearly.

Taking that fiery wrecking ball to my life was absolutely worth it.

** When was the last time you felt a quiet moment of peace without even realizing it at first?**

Thank you as always for taking the time to read & allowing me to share my story.
