Welcome to my office 😇
Thoughts from today!
💫 sparking chemistry with someone is not a mystery!
👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 it’s all about understanding energy flow, and where the other person operates most naturally.

The feminine (which is in all of us) longs to be witnessed. She is beauty, and flow, and Eros, and to be truly seen is her core desire.

The masculine is the witness, when connected to conscious awareness can open up worlds for the feminine she never knew were possible.

🌙 in my own journey, I’ve continued to cultivate a relationship with my feminine aspect that was seeking validation from the outside, and really SEE MYSELF for who I truly am, so I can hold masculine sight for others in my work.
I also have had a deep surrender practice 💧 so I can drop back into my feminine & connect to my pleasure body.

In my perspective, there is a pathway of connecting to both our masculine and feminine energy so that we can access more wholeness and personal power within ourselves.

As men learn how to nurture their wounded parts, and love themselves more deeply, they will be able to hold women in their wounded parts, without trying to fix or alter the experience, just allow the energy to move and come back to Love.

As women learn how to see themselves more fully and witness the beauty within themselves, they will naturally attract men that call forth their inner goddess and open them up to stratospheric love & pleasure.

Annnddd of course, safety and trust is an important element to creating more intimacy and chemistry 🔑💓
This relates to non binary and all genders as well!!! We all have masculine + feminine within us, and it’s about discovering that healing + balance. ☯️💗🌈

What I wish for you is for you to feel free.
To me, that is unconditional love.
To wish for one’s freedom. Freedom to love. Freedom to play. To express. To be seen. To feel the joy of witnessing another feeling free.

I want you to know that freedom is possible.

We live in such a world that traps us in the programs of the mind.
Not enoughness, not “possible,” should be this, can’t do this, should do it this way, shame of doing it “wrong”…
Without trusting our fu***ng god given instincts.

My wish is that we can all give ourselves the space to FEEL. Feel connected to nature, to our bodies, and to the aliveness that pulses through us.
Space to FEEL what is true, and follow it.

My wish is for you to feel free from limiting beliefs, and remember that your heart is so real and powerful beyond the conditions we’ve been given.

My wish is that we can all know Love, the kind of love that does not control or cling but LIBERATES and CATALYZES growth and healing and inspiration.

Through unconditional love, so it is 💗⚡️.

I’ve had a huge hit of humility this past week…
Seeing the ways I assumed that THEY were the problem, that the OTHER women were jealous, that people were trying to COMPETE with me.
💥news flash.
While others may be having judgment/comparison/jealousy of me I don’t know their experience, and I am only perceiving their experience through my own lens.

So it was time to take a look at myself, and be open to it ALL BEING ME.
What if this is all my creation?
The fear and conflict and separateness?

Because ultimately, it is.
As long as we continue to put our emotions outside of ourselves, we will continue to give our power away, and create the same loops.

This kind of self responsibility can be painful.
It can be challenging to not put the fault on the people around us.
Even our own past, our own wounding is OURS to meet, to work with, to bring love and compassion to.

If you’re a leader like me, it is our job to take a really good look at what we are perceiving in others, and take accountability for our own perceptions.

We can’t lead others into accountability if we are not owning our own s**t.

It’s actually OK to experience competition / jealousy
… it just means that there’s a deeper understanding of ourselves to be had.
It just means that there is a burning desire underneath these innate responses.

It’s a reframe of:
They have what I don’t have, and getting reactive about it, responding in lack and fear … TO:
Wow they have what I want and while I feel scared, I also feel excited to learn and expand from this person.

🌟🌟🌟
Reminding myself to keeeep shining bright, bringing love to those aspects of myself that want to blame, and fully owning my darkness and my light. Woohoo! ⚡️🌚🌞
What are your burning desires that sometimes spark jealousy or competition when you see others shining in that way? 👇🏼

That moment when 😳…
you realize you have a choice in how your respond to each circumstance that can literally change the trajectory of your life and relationships…
🌱
I’ve been there. I actually get triggered pretty often 🤪 BUT my patterns have shifted…
When I notice myself going into an emotional response, and can guide myself into softening, opening into a new iteration of myself and my patterns…
And open up into deeper vulnerability and therefore deeper LOVE ❤️
That is deeply rewarding for me.
When I open my heart, I get to experience my higher self. I get to witness my power as a creator of my reality.

We all have triggers, patterns, and protective mechanisms that are keeping us from fully being liberated.
The key is not about getting rid of them or pretending they aren’t there,
it’s about learning how to be kind and compassionate with ourselves when we notice these aspects,
and being open to bridging our reactions into awareness.

The moments of trigger are POTENT opportunities for expansion and evolution in being a loving human being. 🌿

How’s this resonating for you?

𝙊𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙨𝙢
The force that moves into altered states of consciousness, just through the chemistry of our body and mind.
It is a state of surrender that can connect us to something that is beyond us, a moment of no mind, perhaps, that can connect us to the infinite.

𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚
This is vulnerable…

Years ago, I could only or**sm if I was in control.
Through my sexual healing journey, I realized that my lack of ability to or**sm when in receptivity was connected to my fear of surrendering fully.
It was connected to my fears around letting go, in general.
It showed me where I feared being loved.

There was a part of me that didn’t trust that if I completely let myself go, I would be okay.

How we relate to or**sm is directly correlated to how we relate to life.

Are we chasing the release, not enjoying the present moment?
Do we cling onto our mind, feeling like this is the way we stay safe?
Do we limit ourselves based on shame around our unhindered expression, in fear of rejection?

There is SO MUCH around sexuality that can be applied to how we relate to ourselves and life.

End of story: After some months of tears and deep softening with my partner and self pleasure practice, and healing fears and opening my crown chakra to reconnect to the divinity and infinite source energy that can flow through me, I finally accessed the infinite amount of pleasure and LOVE that can come from fully surrendering to my or**smic energy.

And holy shizzz, not only our capacity for or**sm but also feeling pleasure in ALL OF LIFE is truly LIMITLESS and ever expansive. 😻

*I just posted to my PATREON: If you struggle with Or**sm, this is for you…” a solo podcast about or**sm, my own personal experience and some tips for both men and women on how to work through intimacy blocks and feel more connected and free.

Full moon in Scorpio vibes… 🖤❤️🖤
Scorpio is the sign of alchemy.
Transformation and shedding skins.
Going to the depth of someone or something to bring the darkness into the light.
It is not afraid of death, or the process of dying, because it knows that on the other side is rebirth. That is just the natural way of life. 🥀🌀🔥

In facing what we fear THE MOST, we also get to meet what is beyond that fear.

Beyond what I am afraid of is my untamed self.
It’s the wildness, the raw & sexual self, the exposed, the messy.

Even witnessing myself in these photos, I went through a process of feeling like I wasn’t “bright” enough, or “too dark”… which is just such a beautiful opportunity for ALCHEMY.

Embracing my multiplicity, the weird, the less bright moments, the messy…. That is what makes me human, and if NOTHING ELSE my desire is to inspire others to embrace their humanity.

Through creativity I have found beauty in the dark.
Being able to see myself through another’s lens, and embracing that version of myself 💗 it is truly inspiring.

Thank you .xyz for co-creating with me! ⚡️

Unpopular opinion: we have been subconsciously programmed to believe that being “chosen” by someone romantically equates to our sense of safety, security, and abundance in love.

If we want to feel truly whole, truly fulfilled, and share that with those around us, it’s important to take a deeper look at the ways we outsource our power to others.

Through my polytantric journey, I’ve gotten to look at the shadow-y ways my ego tries to be “better” than someone else, tries to receive validation through seduction, which might feel good in the moment…
But afterwards I see that underneath is just an insecure girl trying to get her needs met.

In my perspective, a truly LOVING partner will show us the truth, and love us through it, if we are willing.

For true authentic partnership, and true authentic intimacy , we have to be willing to look at the parts of ourselves that do not feel loved.
We have to be willing to look at the ways that we act out of fear to put a bandaid over the pain.

The unworthiness we feel can only be remedied temporarily by another person.
I want to know who you are to YOU when you are alone.

It takes courage to look at those icky parts, and be seen in those icky parts, and love our way through to the other side.

Through this process of truly seeing myself, I get to rise into deeper, more embodied love, which is truly or**smic. ❤️‍🔥🔥🌹

💚🐉 how do you keep the self criticism at bay?
Remembering its all a PLAY.
That we each have characters in our head with their own story. And we can choose to listen to them or not. 🐉💚

Currently in the phase of riding the momentum of expression ~ releasing perfectionism ~ remembering that it’s all perfectly imperfect anyways. The more I let go the more I feel flow, and ENJOY the process of life’s unfolding.
👁️

Kind of like 0rgasms. The less you try to force it or make it happen or perfect…. The more pleasurable and amazing and surprising it is 💦💥

Just a reminder ~
☘️ you do not have to fit a mold of what your brain thinks your expression “should” look like.
When we release expectation and allow our natural essence to move through us, that’s when the real magic happens. That’s when our natural beauty and soul can be seen and felt. Life is much more fun that way, in my humble opinion. 😉☘️

I found myself feeling frustration about all the times I forgot who I am, forgot my worth, forgot my power, fawned, defended… simultaneously having this epiphany moment of “ah, there you are!” to myself.
With an exhale of relief.

I have compassion for forgetting, so I can remember even more deeply. ♥️

“Who we are” is an interesting thing. I feel we’re all trying to discover that on some level.

I believe that we have our conditioned self - the one that is operating through habit and patterns, and then we have our SOUL and HEART which connects us to our authentic being.

When you feel connected to the soul & heart YOU FEEL IT. The more we create space to feel it, the more familiar we become to it.

I’m committing even more now to noticing when I’m not in touch with that core feeling.
Not judging myself.
But just noticing when I lose touch with that feeling of connection to my heart,
Or noticing when I’m going outside of myself to please someone else,
Or avoiding my core feelings because it just seems easier to not trigger anyone.
Hmmm.
I prefer the medicine over the sugar coating now.
Because I’d rather be true than be out of alignment.

The habitual patterns can and will kick in. But it’s a devotion to come back to the heart. Back to center. Whenever we forget.
Sometimes I need to cry to access it.
Sometimes I need to be confronted by a friend to remember 🙊 and come back to humility.

I remind myself that I am here to learn.
This human experience is a wild and crazy journey we’ve chosen!
May we all be as true and real with each other as possible, to remind ourselves who we came here to be. 🧬🐉🦋💦💚💜💧🍀

I LOVE MEN.
⚡️
Not because of their “manliness” or because of their physical body. (Although that’s GREAT)….

I love men because they are HUMAN,
and actually underdogs in a day and age that either shames and blames the masculine, or forces them into a box that is inauthentic to the soul.

So when a man is in his authenticity, and in his heart… that is truly courageous.

I love men who go against the grain of what society taught them.
I love men who are devoted to authenticity and truth.

I love men who are vulnerable and intimate with how they feel, and are able to connect to that in another.
I love men who are in service, and also able to receive.

The ones that aren’t afraid of the goddess, or the goddess inside. They embrace their multiplicity.

I love men for facing their own challenges and fears, and still showing up in unconditional love.
I love men in transparency.
I love men who praise and encourage the feminine, without needing anything in return.

I love men who are in ownership of their primal nature, their sensuality & s.xuality, and know how to feel the ecstasy of life - not for any end goal of “release.”

I honor those who feel deeply and are not afraid of feeling pain.
I love men who are connected to their heart & presence.
I love men who confront what is not in integrity.
I love men who are connected to their intuitive nature and their fire.

I love men who LOVE! Like, really, truly love. Again and again.

I love men who stand up for those they love, and have the courage to follow their dreams, and feel purposed in what they do.

I love men because they are human.
Thank you to all the men in my life and beyond who are doing the work, unraveling old wounding, standing up for humanity, and braving the world with an open heart. I see you and I love you. ♥️🙏🏼🤲🏼

Hi 👋🏼 it’s me.
January hit me with some curve balls. But even at my lows, I can gratefully say that I still feel connected to my purpose, still connected to Source, still am surrounded by loving relationships and a solid support system. Even in my lows, I am abundant. Even if I’m not yet meeting my financial goals, or “ON” all the time, I am abundant.
Because of this feeling I have cultivated within myself.

Resources come in many forms. They come from us being in integrity and cultivating loving, trusting connections with others. Resources come from knowing how to communicate our needs, not from a manipulative or lacking place but from a place of transparency and honesty.

Being spiritually resourced to me means that I have devoted to my daily practice of remembering who I truly am, and working with the Universe so closely that I know it ALWAYS works out. So when life hits those curve balls, it’s a little more like a dance rather than doomsday. 💃🏽

It’s crazy how I used to enjoy being sick in a way, because it would give me permission to shut off from the world and not talk to anyone. (Now I don’t need the excuse of being sick to do that 😂) AND in my days of sickness and non-function, I craved to come back to work. I missed talking to my clients. I missed engaging with everyone I co-create with on a daily basis. I was so ready to continue my pursuit of creating transformative spaces for others, making art, causing a ruckus, writing, expressing, being seen!! And I just had to wait for the cloud to pass.

This showed me that I am creating a life I truly enjoy, and not something I want to escape from.
Now back on my feet, I am grateful for the expanded spaciousness 🌱
I am shown how much the universe has GOT me, even when I can’t do anything 🙏🏼
I get to experience the contrast of what HEALTH and VITALITY feels like in a new way and it feels so good!!! ✨❤️‍🔥✨

✨🪢 SOMATIC SH***RI 🪢✨
A 2-Day Workshop in Santa Barbara, CA!
Next weekend February 3-4
Link in Bio !

Somatic: relating to the body, connected to sensation
Sh***ri: Japanese Rope Tying

Unlike other “bondage,” Sh***ri is not about the end-goal, but about the art form and experience. It’s about sensation.
It’s about exploring our edges, and healing our relationship to submission and conscious space holding.
This aspect of Sh***ri is much like Ta**ra ~ the focus on presence, not an end-goal, and creating an experience that focuses on the senses to reconnect to our primal nature.

I am so grateful to be co-hosting with my sisters and at our new Healing Center in downtown SB! We will incorporate Meditation and Ta***ic Practice into this Sh***ri experience with sh***ri practitioner Kyla Manlangit.

Our intention is to create a safe space to explore the realms of Masculine and Feminine dynamics, cultivate emotional intimacy, and DEEPEN our embodiment of presence through this Japanese art form.

Whether you are an individual or want to explore this with your partner, this is a space to connect, explore, and learn more about Ta**ra & Sh***ri.

Thoughts… based on my reel earlier this week on: “Is P**n “GOOD” or “BAD?” I felt called to expand on this topic and get this off my chest.

For those into astrology, Pluto (the planet of the underworld, our power, collective unconscious) just entered into Aquarius (the sign of technology, collective systems, and edge pressing new age culture creating). Pluto shifts signs EVERY 2 DECADES.

So it seems only natural that we talk about the underworld of the internet, which is a reflection of our collective psyche.

I’ve always been curious about pressing our edges and bringing light to what is hiding.
Curious if this kind of content intrigues you, scares you, a little bit of both?

In my 1-1 work, we discuss the deeper layers of cultural programming and how we can release shame and guilt around our primal nature, and anchor these aspects of Self back into Love.

Our S.xuality is SO sacred and powerful; we are in quite a confusing time in our culture where we are met with the opportunity to grow immensely as human beings, and yet there is still so much addiction, suffering and discord in the world.

Through REFORMING a relationship to our bodies, our heart, and freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs, we can access a deeper sense of who we truly are. We become a more powerful embodiment of Love so we can share that in our relationships and beyond.

Feel free to DM me for more info ♥️✨
