One of the most powerful reminders we can give ourselves is that we live inside our bodies. When life feels heavy or out of control, reconnecting with your body is a way to ground, reset, and take your power back.

Breathe deeply. Stretch. Feel your feet on the floor. Place your hand over your heart.
These small actions are proof that you are here, you are capable, and you are in control of your response—even when the world feels overwhelming.

Your body is your anchor. Come back to it. 💛

Sometimes I forget I’m an adult. Like… I can literally eat cake for breakfast, buy myself flowers on a Tuesday, or take a nap without asking permission.

Yet here I am stressing about emails and folding fitted sheets.

The world feels so heavy right now, and we need to remind ourselves: self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.

Do the silly little things that make you feel good. Watch your comfort show again. Put glitter on your face. Order the fries and the dessert.

Life is hard enough—let’s not forget we’re grown-ups who get to choose joy, rest, and play.🩵🩵🩵

Exciting news for mental health professionals!

I am co-hosting "The Ethical Reset: Preventing Burnout and Restoring Balance," a 3-hour ethics training (3 CEU ethics credits) designed for LMFTs and LPCs (LCSW approval pending), with Laura Jacobs from Inspired Mental Wellness.

This November, it is time to go beyond theory—our Ethical Reset will focus on practical, somatic-based tools you can use to regulate and restore balance for yourself, as well as strategies you can apply directly in your work with clients.

When we care for ourselves first, we create the capacity to show up fully for the people we serve.

✨ Bonus opportunity: Following the training, you can join us for a women’s retreat (additional cost) to deepen your somatic healing experience.

🌿 Space is limited—register now to secure your spot!

✨ We are so excited to finally share what we’ve been working on all summer! ✨

Laura Jacobs and I are thrilled to be hosting our very first somatic Women’s Day Retreat in Edmond, OK. Our vision is to create a small, sacred, and intimate space where women can come together to rest, connect, and recharge before the chaos of the holiday season. Our hope is that with your support, we will be able to make this a regular offering in our community.

The Sacred Untaming: A Day Retreat for Women

For the ones who give, who hold, who carry—this day is for you.

Step away from the noise and into stillness. Let the earth steady you, let your body soften, let your spirit remember what it feels like to be fully yours.

Through somatic practices, nature, and sacred connection, you’ll leave not drained, but restored—rooted, alive, and deeply reconnected to yourself.

Come home. Come alive. Come untamed.

✨ Spaces are limited—claim yours now!

We dismiss our childhood and teen trauma more than we realize.

As adults, we often tell ourselves we should be over it by now. We downplay what happened because:
“It wasn’t that bad compared to others.”
“I was young, I didn’t know better.”
“It’s in the past, I need to move on.”
“That’s just how things were back then.”

But here’s the truth: your body, your mind, your nervous system—none of them use a calendar. They carry those experiences with you, whether you acknowledge them or not.

The ways it shows up now might look like:

Self-doubt → questioning your worth even when you’ve accomplished something.

Pressure to be perfect → believing mistakes make you unlovable.

Struggling to trust people → waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under you.

Minimizing your pain → feeling guilty for even having emotions.

We dismiss it because it’s easier to invalidate ourselves than to face the depth of what we went through.

But the truth is: unprocessed trauma doesn’t disappear—it shapes us quietly.

Processing it matters because healing means choosing not to live by the old story anymore. It means acknowledging your younger self deserved safety and care, and giving yourself that now.

You’re not weak for still carrying it—you’re human. And you’re allowed to lay that weight down.

Hate is heavy. It doesn’t protect you—it poisons you.

When we carry hate toward others, we convince ourselves it’s about them. Their choices, their beliefs, their differences. But the truth is, hate eats away at our peace, our joy, our ability to live freely.

Checking your privilege means realizing that no one can actually take away your values. Someone living differently, loving differently, or believing differently doesn’t erase what you stand for.

Your worth, your identity, your morals—they are yours.

Hate doesn’t guard those values. It only hardens your heart.

If you really want to protect your soul, the path isn’t through hate—it’s through compassion, curiosity, and choosing not to let bitterness take root. Because hate doesn’t just damage the world around you… it damages you.

Men are often taught from a young age:
Don’t cry.
Be strong.
Handle it on your own.
Real men don’t talk about feelings.

This conditioning runs deep. It makes many men believe they have to carry trauma—including sexual assault—silently. They push it down, distract themselves, or tell themselves they’re “fine.” But the truth is, silence doesn’t heal.

Healing begins when vulnerability is allowed.

When men realize:
Strength isn’t pretending nothing hurts—it’s facing what does.

Courage isn’t carrying it alone—it’s reaching out for support.

Freedom comes not from masking pain, but from giving it voice.

Being vulnerable doesn’t make you less of a man—it makes you human. And in that humanity, there’s space for joy, connection, and real happiness.

Breaking free from those old standards is possible. And it starts with one brave step: allowing yourself to feel.
