Pain is often the first time your body gets loud enough that you can’t ignore it anymore.
It’s the point where the mind can no longer run the whole show from a safe balcony above your life.

the body speaks a different language.
It is not interested in your story.
It is interested in expression. In sensation. In what has not been felt, moved, metabolized.

Pain is often initiation.
An initiation into learning how to listen.

Once you start listening to your body, you can’t go back to overriding it.
Once you feel how much information lives in sensation, you stop outsourcing authority to the mind alone.

Pain becomes the doorway where you stop trying to control your body and start learning from it.
An initiation into humility.
Into realizing you cannot think your way out of something you have to feel your way through.

When the mind runs without the body, friction is inevitable.
Thought loops build density in the body. You can live there for years and call it normal.

But when you run your feelings through the body first, everything changes.

Let them pass through you the way water drains through a colander.

Just sensation. Moving.

When you feel instead of analyze, emotions metabolize faster.
They do not set up camp. They pass through.

The funk lingers when we avoid it, narrate it, rehearse it.
It softens when we let the body do what it was built to do.

Feel it.
Do not explain it.

You will spend far less time stuck in places you were never meant to live.

We must dream through the dark days.

How do we show up to weary times with no end sight in view?

Have you grieved the loss of perceived safety?

Are you in your power?

What is grounding you during these times of political unrest?

How does the way you show up affect others in their life?

Where is my fear affecting those around me?

Your old-lady body is paying attention.

She’s the one who wants to travel without fear.
Get up off the floor without thinking.
Carry her own bags.
Move without negotiating pain.
Make love with ease.
Make art with her whole body.

Every choice you make now
is either expanding her options
or quietly taking them away.

Strength is foresight.
Support is preventative care for the life ahead.

You don’t invest for today’s body.
You invest for the woman you’re becoming.

Your older body will thank you
with freedom, not limitations.

A big part of the work that I do with folks is building intuition through the body
Having that felt sense. Intuition. Knowing what is actually yours.

one thing we know about the nervous system
is that it will make the **familiar choice**, not the better choice.

Every time.

Now sometimes the familiar choice is the right one.
But when you’re in a season of change — when you’re starting to step into more of your own power — your nervous system is going to go a little out of whack.

That’s normal.

It doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It means you’re doing something *new*…a new neural pathway will be forming

So the work becomes learning how to ride those waves.
And to learn to stay with yourself while your system is recalibrating —
so you can actually move into your new becoming.

the important part:
you have to be really honest about what is intuition
and what is old patterning/ the old conditioning

Old survival strategies can sound very convincing.
They’re loud. They’re urgent. They’re protective.

Intuition is quieter.
It’s grounded.
It doesn’t rush you.

A big part of my work is helping people learn to feel the difference —
so their lives aren’t being run by old nervous system reflexes
while they’re calling it intuition.

That’s the practice.
