✨ LIVE PODCAST ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
This Thursday, August 28 at about 10 AM EST I’ll be joining the Global Podcast Network with host Jill Nicolini for a powerful conversation, and this time, I won’t be alone.

A very special guest…one of my past clients 💛will be joining me LIVE to share her personal testimonial of transformation.

Together, we’ll dive into a topic so many of us wrestle with but rarely name out loud:
Oversharing.
Why we do it.
What it costs us.
And what to choose instead when we want connection without regret.

This will be a candid, soul-level conversation you won’t want to miss. 🌿

📅 Thursday, Aug 28 | ~10 AM EST
🎙️ Global Podcast with Jill Nicolini
💬 Join us LIVE for insight + inspiration

👉 Set your reminder and come be part of the conversation.

The Adolescent Chair — Where Survival Becomes Identity 💭🪑
What if the parts of you that feel chaotic, reactive, or controlling…
aren’t broken at all?

✨ They’re just unprocessed protection strategies.
The Adolescent Chair® (ages 7–24) is where your ego awakens —
and it begins to build entire identities out of fear, not freedom.

In this chair, you became:
🎭 The Pleaser
🛠️ The Fixer
🎤 The Performer
🛡️ The Controller
🌀 The One Who Couldn’t Pause

Not because you were wrong.
But because you thought that was the only way to stay loved.

Here’s the truth:
💛 These parts served you… but they don’t need to lead anymore.
✨ In this week’s email, we explore:
🧠 Why your nervous system clings to these roles
🪞 How to recognize when your Adolescent self is driving
🌬️ And how to gently return to your Healthy Adult

💛 Share this with someone who’s always been the strong one
💬 Comment “🪑” if you’re ready to come back to your truth

She landed softly.
No hustle. No performance. No proving.
Just presence.

✨ This butterfly reminded me of something I’ve learned — again and again — from sitting in The Chair:
You don’t have to rush your transformation.
🌿 The pause is part of the becoming.
🌬️ The stillness is sacred.
🪞The moment you stop striving… is the moment you return to yourself.

This is what nervous system regulation feels like:
A quiet trust that your wings will know when it’s time to open.

Day 2 – Morning Walking Meditation Reflection

🌄 Walking Into Stillness

6:00 am. My daughter Jessica and I joined hundreds of others in walking meditation. Step by step, breath by breath, we walked into a version of ourselves beyond story or survival.

There’s no grief too big to move with gentle steps.

💛 Sending quiet strength today—wherever you are.
