35 years today.

I’m discovering new depths in me everyday. So much tenderness and compassion for this journey I find myself on. I can say without a doubt, my life is a love story.

For all the times I’ve withheld love from you Grace, I’m so sorry and please forgive me. There’s so much more to experience — more joy, more rest, more play, more love, more life.

My mom didn’t make it to even close to twice my age. I’m learning what it means for me to feel into the losses and the privileges behind me and before me. In my grief also exists gratitude and that comes with time and with my own claiming of it.

I’m finding myself Mom— I think even more now. And everything I’m learning about myself fills me with admiration and reverent respect for how hard I’ve fought to exist. 💗

Today marks 2 years since my Dad’s transition. Somatic and ancestral guidance have guided me through this grief journey, peaks & valleys.

I’m still finding it challenging to share about how this journey has transformed me— but I can say for sure I am different from the inside out.

As a child, raised by Patti and Richard (and their mismanaged anxieties, shame, rage), I spent most of my days dissociated. I remember looking out the window and pretending I was a butterfly, just floating through the wind.

The past several years I have been in deep reflection of why dissociation, numbing, and fragmentation were necessary for me. I’m immensely grateful for the skill of separating from my body— I truly mean that. I am beyond grateful for all my coping mechanisms, even the ones that might be considered self-destructive. They speak to the amount of pain, suffering and required body submission that I survived.

My parents transitions have brought up a lifetime of grief I was keeping deep in my body. I’ve been grieving their deaths as well as their lives. I’ve been able to speak many truths outloud that i wasn’t able to name whilst they were alive. It’s magnanimously painful and relieving. But what’s incredible is that I am in my body choosing to feel it all.

So many of the harmful beliefs about myself, came from them. And it’s a journey of self-actualization requiring full determination to process and set the record correct in my body.

My grief matters. I matter. What I went through matters. And it all gets to be set free. 🦋

My body practice has included: breath work, body work, yin and restorative yoga, sound therapy, physical therapy, somatic therapy, energy healing. I have pulled every resource I have spent my life accessing for the holding I am needing for this. Though this journey is my choice, my work, and for me, we were never meant to do it alone. Thanks to all who have held this container with me—I am learning so much about love, life, death and the in between of it all.

Dad, we look so much alike. You’re free from your suffering now Dad, love you.

I held my Mom as she took her last breath May 1st.

I’m surrendering as much as I can to this experience.
cargle shares “grief is an identity crisis” and I’m allowing myself to step into that and embrace the transformation.

Grief also flows like water into all other griefs. I have been grieving my childhood, my Dad, my coming out experience, as well as intense grief for the injustices of the world we live in. With so many genocides martyring so many parents and children, it’s hard to believe our bodies can handle this much grief.

I am turning to those who speak truth of grief for guidance and wisdom. Grief moves through activism, art, community and nature. Grief moves through the naming and feeling of grief. And grief moves even more when we are being witnessed in our grief. I don’t believe grief goes away, it just moves, and we learn how to move with it.

If you are also traveling with grief— I’m here too. And you are welcome here in all of the messiness of grief.

I’ve been offering my body experiences that might guide me in remembering my connectedness. Sips of water is usually a good place to start.

So much tenderness….

I’ll have to tell you more about my Mom some time, the good and the painful…. But for now, I want to share that my Mom told me about what she was dreaming of as she was entering into the forever-dream-place— that we were bicycling in Key West which was something we did as a family vacation once… 🥹

I feel my parents around, but they are wiser now and unburdened by their traumas. 🩵

I’m speaking at the upcoming S*x & Perinatal Mental Health Conference hosted by on May 1-2, 2024! My session is about the connect between trauma, pelvic health, and maternal mental health.

Are you a health care or community-based provider who serves the expectant and postpartum community and wants to learn more about how to support and prioritize the sexual well-being and expression of your clients? I’m personally inviting you to be there!

There’s no perinatal mental health without sexual health, so join me at the California Endowment in downtown Los Angeles to collaboratively explore topics of sexuality for expecting and postpartum families. Register at link in bio!

The time is always right to do what is right. — Martin Luther King Jr.

Call your reps, email Biden and the White House, take to the streets for organized protests, talk to your friends and family— 🇵🇸

This has everything to do with Pelvic “health,” reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, Maternity Healthcare.

If this post is activating for you, I am offering a tender reminder to feel your feet on the ground.

Your pelvis matters, your voice matters. You matter. You can do this. We need you.

The idea is not to prioritize nor glorify a regulated system, but rather to restore agency. Perhaps you need to use a flight response in order to leave a dangerous situation such as an abusive work place, or home life, or country, but it is stuck behind a freeze or collapse or appeasement response. So calming this situation can’t happen until the system is able find choice is navigating these responses. Maybe they choose to leave. Maybe they choose to stay. Maybe they find their voice to fight/or express changes needed in order to stay. Maybe they are in a situation that they cannot escape. How do they endure? By maintaining the freeze or perhaps disassociating, which are options that exist because we sometimes need them.

Where we can get curious is around what stimulus is eliciting which response. Is the freeze response there for something inconsequential or without permission to be there?

My role is to support the uncovering of your agency in navigating your nervous system. Are you able to feel and name what your nervous system is doing? Are you able to resource through yourself, nature or others to support you in changing what you can and managing what you cannot change?

I want to be careful to name that we don’t all need to be regulated and embodied all the time. The goal is that you learn to speak the language of your body, so that you may navigate your relationship to your body and to nature and to others.

TEXT: An embodied nervous system does not always need to be regulated. Nor does a person always need to be embodied.

Another year. The older Me has been closely guiding me through this year.

They remind me I am wild.
They remind me of the power of my grief, my rage, my joy.

As I learn more about my tendency towards freezing, I am able to access what’s underneath— a fight and a flight. They remind me that it isn’t about taming my responses, but rather freeing them. Communicating them. Trusting them.

I have the right to protect my spirit and my body by defending my boundaries even if that means yelling or running away. In fact strength is in demanding my “No’s” be heard and removing myself and those in my care from harm immediately.

My tenderness gets to be directed towards me first.

My Irish witchery and my Italian alchemy guide my dance, my song, my creativity, my healing.

I’ve learned more about my disabilities, privileges, and how they both support my devotion towards social justice efforts.

The more I honor my wants and preferences, the more ready I am for communication and negotiation. Both and.

As I navigate my intuition and senses, I am more available to the presence and wisdom of spirit.

Thank you Grace, for your willingness to go deeper. Wishing you a wild, embodied ‘nother year.

This time last year, I was quietly carrying around so much hurt. My parents told me who I was, was bad- it broke my heart. Softened the hurt by holding a small imagined future, where they would wake up & realize how wrong they were about me. Maybe they would acknowledge how much they hurt me. Maybe they would ask me to show them how sad & angry & betrayed I felt. Maybe they would reach out for me, hold me, tell me how sorry they are. Maybe they would be curious about me and available to see me. Acknowledging my existence and love.

2 days after this photo was taken—This photo of my best friend taking me out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. Stef— who reminds me daily that I am loved for who I am even if my parent’s can’t see it. She reminds me I am here. I am safe, loved, home, protected. This sister I called in to help us heal. 2 days after I was deeply loved up by Stef, my dad suddenly died.
With him, the imagined future I held on to deep in my heart, slipped through my ribcage.
I lost not only who my Dad was, but also who he wasn’t.

My Dad survived a lot of trauma. He defended his wounds with righteousness like his father did with him. His fear kept him from adoring something he himself participated in making. He healed more than his parent’s did. And he loved me better than they him, but it still wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough for me. I feel how cringy that is to hear & to say out loud. But it was never my job to protect him, it was always his job to protect me. & he messed up.

This year has been indescribably challenging. But there’s life in it— in fact, more life in this past year than death. I saw 2 babies first enter into the world this year. I’ve learned to love myself more deeply, radically, fervently & fiercely, that I would never go back to a time when I didn’t know that the LOVE that exists for me, as me, is more than my Dad’s unprocessed trauma. I am worthy of being here, as me.

If I could go back to this Grace from last year, I would tell them that it’s about to hurt like hell, but I’ll be there guiding them through the whole thing. I 🩷 U Grace. In that love, there is peace & rest. Dad is resting peacefully too.

Part of self-care work is in teaming up and recruiting others to help us meet our needs. We have always been wired to love and need each other. None of this is meant to be done entirely on our own.

Just so you know— I have a big team (both paid experts and friends) who support me in negotiating my getting my needs met. Unashamedly I have a lot of needs that I can identify— sensory, emotional, executive functioning, relational, physical, sensual, intellectual, play… it makes sense that I need additional support!

This is my face and body after receiving support from my breathwork healer.

This is how I’ve managed this past year— with lots and lots of talented professionals and friends holding me. 💞

Coming out.

I was 20 yo when I first came out. I was trying to figure out who I am while simultaneously trying to help the people I loved keep up.

It took me the next 8 years to transition from calling myself le***an to pansexual to q***r. But I knew from a very young age that I wasn’t “heterosexual.” In fact, in the earliest part of my self discovery, I would say, “well I’m not gay, but I really love my best friend- more than all my other friends and in a different way.” This just speaks to how scared I was of claiming my identity because of ALL the messaging I had received around who gets to be loved, belong, and protected and who doesn’t.

I’m q***r. I feel comfortable and confident in telling people this. I’m less reactive to explicit and implicit judgements towards me about it. My inner reactivity is way less but not gone— because still to this day, my safety isn’t always profoundly clear. I have a part of my brain looking for signs of safety— is there a rainbow flag or a cross on the window? Is someone asking if I have a husband? It’s work to be looking out for yourself this way.

Here’s another piece of my identity I am working through while trying to help the people I love understand in a way so that they can continue to love me— I’m non-binary.

My REQUIRED pronouns are They/Them.

This feels so right for me.

Our brains like to quickly categorize. Ex: good/bad, right/wrong, he/she, safe/not-safe.

Your life of conditioning around categorizing people into gender binaries is going to have to rearrange when you look at me. If you refer to me with “they” I feel your love for me. If you call me, “A they/them-er” I recognize your limited capacity in understanding this experience. If you refer to me as “she” even after I have shared my identity with you, I recognize your difficulty with accepting change.

Don’t ask me to help you get my pronouns right. Put the burden of correcting yourself on you and those around you. Ask mutual friends to help you. This isn’t because I don’t respect that this may take time and practice for you. It’s because I deeply respect my energy as I am confronted with forever correcting people and coming out wherever I go.
