It’s not my job to save everyone—and no one can save me.
If you do work like mine, you know how sticky the savior matrix can be. It runs under the field.

When a client puts me on a pedestal or expects me to wipe their pain and problems away magically, here’s my truth + boundary:
I can walk with you. I can’t walk for you. You need to learn to meet yourself (and I can show you how).

Miracles happen in my sessions—pain can drop, stories can rewire. You can live your best life. And know this: your power lands when you choose, practice, and keep showing up for yourself. When you choose to own yourself. When you don’t fall into the tempting victim archetype (we all have one) or child wounds. No one is your magic fix- YOU are the magic.⚡️

There are times when I have to watch when my own insecurities step in, which can blur my boundaries (it’s so tempting!) You want me to fix it or save you & you’re paying me $ and my own lil’ fear or old stories of low self-worth could step in…or maybe the overcaring part of me. This just makes it messy- I get sick and take on pain that’s not mine (& get grumpy) and you never move forward.

In all my choices & actions, I need to make sure that Love drives my energy, not fear or old insecurities.

How about the “Cinderella Spell”? The story we’ve given that someone else - a partner, friend, child will save us. Time to realize that we’re here to save ourselves. That’s when our true power begins - that we are the creator and the destroyer and the greatest Dreamer. We’re sovereign and there isn’t someone we need to wait for to save us. You’ve got this. I’ve got this. We’ve got this. 🔥

Do you feel this? What resonates? Tell me below. ✨

We’re taught to meet trauma by becoming the witness—the grown one who can see it without re-living it. Necessary. Otherwise we mistake re-enactment for healing and fragment more.

But pleasure is different. Pleasure doesn’t want an observer; it wants you in it. The body only knows now. We’re layered beings (physical, emotional, mental, astral, karmic), and unprocessed pain quietly writes code in the background. Most of us eventually find our way feel anger and sadness—we can identify them, move them, even express them. Pleasure is the tricky one. I find most of us are more awkward and even terrified when it comes to that. How good are you at feeling, allowing and staying with pleasure? Do you even notice it? Do you move on quickly? Or do you let yourself absorb it? You might even have a negative core belief where you feel like you don’t deserve it. We’re so tricky in our subconscious and unconscious.

This is one of my top tips in how to ground/be present/be more in your body. Pleasure IS the game changer. How can you orient towards pleasure? Some of us, without realizing it, still orient towards the pain, what’s not working, or obsessive improvement. I’m not talking suppressing uncomfortable emotions or avoiding painful situations - but learning how to orient towards the tones and notes that feel good, are interesting, smell and taste good. As Ruiz says, “The victim represses, the warrior refrains.” There’s an elegance in our sensing our human complexity.
Let that be your experiment this week: Can you notice pleasure (or interesting/curious things) internally or externally? And when you do, what do you with it? Can you let it stay a little longer?

Quantum shifts are ON. No plant medicine needed. 🌙🧠
You are the medicine.

I’m opening Vision Quest (Yoga Nidra++) — a live training to access & work in the theta state with clarity (and joy). We start on the New Moon, Sept 23–Oct 5.

In this container you’ll learn to:
✅ Drop into theta consciously (and know you’re there)
✅ Use embodied imagination to heal + create new patterns
✅ Practice astral hygiene + safe “travel” while staying in your body
✅ Hold space without scripts (trauma-informed, intuitive, real)
✅ Apply this in privates, groups, online & in-person (great for therapists, coaches, facilitators, yoga teachers)

I’m also running Spellcast in Theta (Self-Hypnotherapy) in November — how to recode the subconscious so your nervous system and life actually change.

Early-bird & bundle savings are live.

Save this if you’re feeling the call. Share with a friend who’s ready to journey within. 🌀✨

Do you try to tolerate what’s actually intolerable? 🚫

If you’re an empath ✨, you probably know what I’m talking about—taking on pain, emotions, or thoughts that aren’t yours 🌀. Overriding your system’s truth because you were taught to “be nice” 🙃, “be polite” 🤝, or “give them a chance” 🌸.

Maybe as a kid, you had that creepy uncle 😬 or the “off” kid at school 🎒, but your mom told you to hang out with them. You learned to ignore your body’s instant feedback—that internal no ❌—and instead collude with someone else’s version of reality.

And now? You wonder why you feel drained 😮‍💨. Why you take on people’s energy ⚡. Why you override what’s true for you 💔.

Here’s the truth: saying no isn’t mean, it’s maintenance 🛡️. You don’t need to explain or justify it. You get to protect your field without guilt 💎.

✨ Ready to rewire the part of you that tries to tolerate the intolerable?

Yesterday I climbed a really high peak.⛰️
It was tougher than I expected—real mountaineering skills required. I’m in great shape and made it up there, but rehabbing two torn hamstrings made it…less fun.

Despite the summit being known for epic views, it was all fog and mist. I could barely see beyond the next step.

And still—despite the desire to turn around more than once—I’m glad I did it.

I’m in a big shift right now. Maybe you are too.
Just like this hike, there’s a lot of unknowns. All I had was my inner confidence and the one step lit up in front of me.

I’ve always been good at pushing myself. Not so good at honoring my limits.
Right now, my hammies want me to chill.
And my inner Artist? She’s ready to smother the Athlete—because she has some serious creations to birth. 🔥
She needs space. Chill time. Blank canvasses.

Honestly, I feel like I’ve already lived a thousand lifetimes—and the next one’s brewing.

I bet you’re being asked to surrender too—to the brilliant, unexpected you that’s trying to erupt.

So what’s stopping you?

Let’s do this together.
Consciousness has some big evolutions for us to embody.

Sending you love from a secret mountain town 💙 PS Happy Mercury Retrograde and Lion’s Gate & almost Full Moon. She’s full of so many cosmic plot twists & divine timings. But we’re going to a good place 😘

What’s Your Prison? 🔓💭

Is there a belief, goal, or habit that you think is leading you toward happiness—but it’s actually keeping you stuck?

✨ I used to spiral over mistakes (perfectionist trauma response, anyone?).
✨ I let fear around money block me from travel, love, and even the homes I wanted.
✨ I’ve clung to body image goals and diet patterns that didn’t actually nourish me.

But here’s the truth:
Joy, pleasure, and freedom can’t come from control.

We’re often more afraid of feeling joy than sadness. Crazy, right?

So I’m asking you:
What are the invisible prisons you’re still living in?
Old stories, patterns, or fears that are pretending to keep you “safe”—but are really just blocking your bliss?

💡What if you lived according to joy—right now?
💡What if you stopped waiting to “deserve” abundance, love, or delight?

You are here to be free.
You are here to be loved.
You are here to feel good in your body, your life, your soul.

Drop a 🔑 in the comments if this landed.
Let’s talk about real freedom.

With love on this magical weekend ✨

Travel for me has never been just to see epic sh$t, it’s always been about the inner transformation that the outer journey brings. As much of a nomad that I am, my inner exploration has always proved more mystical than anything I could see on this planet.

I was very specific when I went to NZ for 2 months Jan-March. I was dealing not with just heartbreak but a loss of self, a degradation of power and a disconnect from my Magic. I felt those islands calling me to help me claim my life back. When I first landed, the spirits of the land spoke to me immediately, “We’ve been waiting a long time for you,” they said.

I spent the next months following my flow. I had no idea where the land would grab me but when it would, I’d pay attention. I meditated daily and did rituals in specific places. After hiking 40km on the Kepler, I finished with a ceremony. I dove into a freezing lake and burst my head through the surface & kept dunking myself like I was going through a rebirth. Afterwards I was alone and laid naked on a rock and watched the sun bathe the forest and water in sparkles. I hadn’t felt this alive in years. I finally was getting my own sparkle back.

While I could write a book about my adventures, this one was special to me because I specifically stayed alone. I needed to be solo. Friends tried to join me but I wanted to drive, camp, hike, climb and be alone. I needed to be friends with myself again. I needed challenges that I could conquer & ways that I could expand and take myself over. I needed God to love me up and I didn’t want anyone to get in the way. I got dirty, I climbed, I swam, I pushed my body & marched all over those islands. I needed to touch my limits, my power within, I needed to get tired, and full from life. I was stuffed with the beauty of NZ and I finally started seeing my own beauty again. I’ve never felt so complete.

My favorite part was how by the end I found myself crying daily. Not out of sadness. I was so grateful to be alive, to be here, to be me, to see the beauty of whatever was in front of me. To cherish just being. This is the art of living. Not the constant adventure.To cherish what’s in front of us. The magic has never left.

Happiness is a practice. Do you agree?

We have choices about where and how we orient. We are constantly making choices in the entire creation of our life, but sometimes we forget the powerful Artist that resides inside.🔥

I’m actively owning this power. Not buying into my mind that can slide into regret or doubt. My best compass is my body. I can feel a pulse or expansion when I’m following my flow. A contraction or stomach ache when I go against myself.

A client said the other day she never considered making pleasure a priority in her life. We’ve been wired for a variety of reasons to not. There’s a guilt around pleasure and even shame. I’m not talking about the pleasure that gives you a headache or that you regret it. I'm naming the pleasure that brings you back to yourself. That reminds you of who you are, and that creates expansion. It’s a joy pulse.✨

As kids, we feel it, know it, and follow it. As adults, for various reasons, we dismiss, ignore, and squash it. Your power IS your joy and pleasure.✨

I deal with clients who have difficulty making choices and can spin so much in their heads and overanalyze. Let’s pause. The answer is in the body. In the pulse that makes you feel alive and more like you. It sounds simple, but we can complicate it. Do you agree?

I’m sending you so much love to you today.💖 I’m nearly done with my adventure in New Zealand and heading North, though South, I’m returning to you a lot. I promise. This whole life is an adventure. Don’t forget it. 💖

Love you, and happy Sunday 🌞

🌟 This training is perfect for you if you’re highly sensitive, an empath, or have always felt a calling to work with energy. If you’re a yoga teacher, you’ll learn ways to incorporate this work into your teaching to groups and privates, for coaches, therapists and psychologists, not only will you have another skillset, you can use your ability to read energy to understand more deeply what’s going on for your client. If you’re already a healer, you’ll have tools to help you manage your energy much better to stay energized and clear in your work.
