It’s National Daughters Day, and instead of celebrating, we’re fighting for basic rights. i’ve worked with sexual assault survivors in the military first hand who are already carrying unbearable trauma—and now the Pentagon has disbanded its women’s advisory committee while the VA moves to strip abortion access, even in cases of r**e. This is not progress. It’s control. And it’s F––KED. I will fight for my daughter, and for every daughter, because we must keep choosing love over fear and courage over hate.

It’s World Su***de Prevention Day. This year feels heavy. My own mental health has been in a hard place, and I don’t feel the need to sugarcoat that. You can struggle and still matter. You can feel like you’re unraveling and still belong here.

Grief, trauma, and pain aren’t linear. Some days survival doesn’t look like healing—it looks like getting through the next hour, the next breath. If you’ve been there, you’re not alone.

We don’t name this enough: there’s still stigma around mental health. People are told to hide their pain, to “be strong,” to only show up once they’ve figured it out. But the weight you carry doesn’t make you less. It makes your staying even more powerful.

Struggle doesn’t always shout—it whispers:
• Everyday tasks feel heavier
• Sleep is off—too little, too much, never restful
• Emotions flatten, or small things overwhelm
• The body aches—headaches, racing heart, tight chest
• Thoughts loop with worst-case scenarios or harsh self-criticism
• Pulling away while longing to be seen
• Joy fading from the things you love

These aren’t failures. They’re signals.

On this day, I remember those I’ve lost. And I want to say to anyone still fighting: you don’t have to be “better” today. Staying—even in the midst of pain—is enough.

Stay.

And if you love someone who’s struggling, know your quiet presence—without pressure to fix—can mean the world.

Space is limited if you’re considering this training secure spot today!

This is more than a training. It’s a remembrance.
Of how the body speaks in sensation.
Of how pain becomes poetry.
Of how healing happens in stillness, not force.

In this immersive 30-hour journey, you’ll learn how to hold space for offering deep emotional release using the power of Yin Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the nervous system’s wisdom. This is where fascia meets feeling. Where meridians meet memory. Where the frozen parts of us start to thaw.

You’ll receive a strong foundation in trauma education:
*How trauma lives in the body & fascia
*Understanding the freeze/fawn response
*The basics of polyvagal theory + somatic safety
*How to teach Yin without re-traumatizing

Plus deep study in:
*The 12 meridians + their emotional/organ pairings
*How to use Yin poses to help release stored grief, anger, fear, and shame
*Poetic cueing, emotional sequencing & soul-based class creation
*Guided meditations & affirmations for each pose
*How to hold space for others without bypassing their experience

This training is for yoga teachers, therapists, bodyworkers, and anyone walking the path of embodiment and emotional reclamation.

This isn’t about alignment. It’s about attunement.
Not performance. But permission.
To soften. To feel. To release.

30HR Certificate | In-Person Only
You’ll walk away with trauma-informed wisdom, emotional fluency, and a new way of listening to the body—yours and your students.

12-5pm on the following days:
9/20, 9/21, 10/18, 10/19, 11/8, 11/9

This week on my podcast im unpacking a relationship that broke me, as my nervous system is dealing with real time trauma from the national gaslighting survivors are feeling in the wake of this Epstein mess.

When you look back with a regulated nervous system, the truth feels different, now, I don’t just see the memories — I see the science.
The way my nervous system was hijacked.
The patterns of abuse I mistook for connection.
The red flags I brushed aside because I was in survival mode.

Healing changes the way you remember.
It gives you language for what you lived through — and compassion for the version of you who didn’t know yet.

This week’s episode unpacks the neuroscience of an abusive relationship, one that led to my ex serving a prison sentence for r**e, and how trauma impacts what we see (and what we miss), and why hindsight can be both heartbreaking and freeing.

Trigger warnings include Abuse. S*xual assault. Addiction. Manipulation. Narcissism. If today isn’t the right day for that in your body, it’s okay to pause. Come back when you can hold it.

While I was setting up for class tonight, the sun poured through the windows just right—
that kind of golden light that doesn’t ask for your attention,
but takes your breath anyway.

It hit the floor and the walls and the bolsters in a way that made everything feel warmer. Softer.
For a second, I just stood there.
Not thinking. Not rushing. Just… remembering.

Not any one thing, really—just that quiet ache of nostalgia.
The way golden light can make you feel like you’re holding a memory you never meant to forget.

It reminded me why I do this.
Why I open the door. Light the candles. Lay out the mats.
Why healing needs beauty, too.
Not the kind you find in perfection,
but in these little unexpected moments
that remind us we’re alive. That we’re still becoming.

And maybe you needed that reminder tonight, too.

It pays to be famous, get 80% of the charges dropped based on your plea of guilty and walk away with probation.

This evening offers space to find whatever it is you need.
Maybe that’s rest.
Maybe it’s a breath.
Maybe it’s just a quiet hour to be alone, together.

There’s no goal, no transformation promised, no right way to show up.

We’ll settle into stillness with sound healing and a guided Yoga Nidra practice—offering the body and nervous system a chance to soften, if they want to.
Nothing to do. Nothing to fix. Just space to be.

Come as you are. Leave however you do.

As always pre-registration is required you can sign up on Square.

Not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some are protected by silence.
This episode isn’t just about Epstein. It’s about the systems that protect predators, the trauma they leave behind, and the survivors who are too often silenced.

I speak from lived experience—not just research. About what it means to be retraumatized in spaces that promised healing. what it means to be broken and unimaginable ways by people be loved.
It’s about the power dynamics no one wants to talk about.
About why survivors stay silent—and what it takes to reclaim your voice.
