You don’t have to do your work in the same way I did. Your journey is yours to create.

But doing your work IS how you create the life you want. It’s how you stop adding things to your already full plate, stop waiting for everyone else to be happy before you’re allowed to be, stop people pleasing, and stop worrying that if you have wants and needs you’re too much and no one will love you.

And you’re the only one who can do it.

You’re the only one who can prioritize yourself, who can take responsibility for your triggers, unpack your past, process your feelings, and come out the other side changed forever.

Having done my work, I think living a life that’s fully yours, that gives you the freedom, Love, joy, and connection you’re hungry for, is totally worth it. But I might be biased. 😂

Psssst: Read ALL about my journey in my book Because of Amy: How My Daughter’s Death Gave Me Life (And How Your Pain Can Free You Too)!

When I first started doing my work, I was you. (I suppose that’s a spoiler warning for my book 😂)

I juggled being the major breadwinner of our household, raising 3 children (and all the extracurriculars that came with it), doing endless laundry, mowing the lawn, meal planning, grocery shopping, cooking, and more.

And my then-husband wasn’t exactly an equal partner. He only took on some of my responsibilities when I broke down sobbing in the laundry room because I couldn’t do it all anymore. (Even then, he’d begrudgingly take on one additional task per breakdown.) 😮‍💨

But by that point, I’d seen the power of doing my work. I knew waiting for him to change, to see me, to love me, to value and respect me, was NEVER going to work if I didn’t already see, love, value, and respect myself.

And the only way I was going to do that was to keep doing my work.

When I had even just 5 minutes to spare, I used it to get more intimate with myself, to unpack what I was feeling, and to honestly name what I was doing—and why.

I’d sit with the discomfort, the wanting to crawl out of my skin, the grief, the frustration and, instead of blaming my then-husband’s pissy attitude or my kid’s inability to appreciate me, I’d figure out what was coming up for me to heal. I’d unpack the triggers, clear up the misunderstandings, and hold space for the traumas from my past as I brought them into present time, called back my energies, cut cords, and gave myself the compassion and Love I always deserved, but didn’t always receive.

I meditated, I paid for sessions with my mentors, and I prioritized my healing because without doing my work, I knew I’d only ever stay stuck (and since I tried that way for decades, I was ready for something new).

Layer by layer, I healed. And life got SO 👏MUCH👏BETTER👏 every step of the way.

I’m so deeply grateful for everyone reading (and sharing) my book Because of Amy: How My Daughter’s Death Gave Me Life (And How Your Pain Can Free You Too).

Seriously, when my Soul told me I needed to write a book at 20 years old, I couldn’t possibly imagine my journey would take me here.

And, now that it’s done and in your hands, I’m shouting it from the rooftops in celebration! And I’d LOVE to celebrate with you! 🥳💜🙌

Comment below and tell me your favorite part, what it’s brought up in you to process, or something you learned about me that you didn’t know before. I’m here for it all!

When you process the pain from your past, you don’t get triggered in the same way by the things you do now.

You don’t have to shove down your feelings or blame them on someone or something else. You can sob when you need to sob (without the sad movie for an excuse), get (consciously) angry when it’s needed, and feel joyful (even if the people around you would rather you were miserable like them).

You just get to connect with yourself at a deeply intimate level, and that connection is what we’re all hungry for. It’s how you create an open-hearted life you love (even when no one and nothing in your life changes).

Because, on the other side of doing your work, is a life better than you can possibly dream of right now. All it takes is the courage to dig into the pain, trauma, misunderstandings, held emotions, and BS stories you don’t even know are there.

I believe you have that courage. And I’m cheering you on, always.

Rita ❤️

P.S. Have you started reading my book Because of Amy: How My Daughter’s Death Gave Me Life (And How Your Pain Can Free You Too) yet??? What’s one thing you’ve loved (or totally hated) about it so far? Comment below and let me know.

What does any of this have to do with you (besides the fact that my book was an entire exercise in processing the pain from my past that gives you insight into processing yours, that is)?

Well, imagine if, no matter what was going on in your life, you didn’t have to throw around rage, spiral into anxiety, get stuck in depression, or shame yourself for feeling the way you do.

Imagine if your emotions just flowed through you as easily as my grief at the kitchen table.

Imagine if your boss forced you to work the holidays, your mom criticized your parenting, your spouse made fun of you in front of their friends, or your kid forgot to return their library book 7 months ago and instead of getting pi**ed, starting a fight, sulking, venting to all your friends and their cousins, or running away to Peru, you could respond as inspired without the drama.

That’s the power of doing your work.

When I say this book is changing people’s lives and relationships for the better, I mean it. Here’s what an early reader had to say:

“I don’t cry much (though mom-life has changed that a bit). Mostly, I’ve lived a life of not touching feelings. I’ve worked for years to unlearn that, BUT…

“This book had me touching a lot of feelings and crying. (Like sobbing that I love my daughter so much and that our parents are going to die some day at the same time). It taught me how to keep working on having my own back—and not blaming others when I don’t.

“Thank you for doing your work because it’s a gift to me, to my husband, and to our daughter. I’m in awe and proud of you for being so vulnerable.”

I spent so many years of my life abandoning and rejecting myself to try and keep other people from abandoning and rejecting me. It came at a huge cost in all my close relationships, but more importantly, it cost me my freedom, joy, Love, and connection—to myself.

Now that I’ve done my work to heal the pain from my past, I can’t settle for anything less than a deeply intimate, connected life that feels like mine.

As painful as it was to dig into more trauma from my past by writing this book, I knew on the other side that it would give me even more freedom, joy, Love, and connection (and that it will help you do the same, if you let it).

I’m such a good sales person, I’ll tell you exactly who *shouldn’t* buy my book (to save you time, money, and a whirlwind of emotions).

Don’t buy my book if…

👉 You want to stay stuck, aren’t willing to change, and like being a victim (even if you don’t know it).
👉 Unraveling the stories you don’t know you’re telling yourself feels impossible—and you don’t even want to try.
👉 Hearing about other people in pain is too much for you to handle.
👉 Feeling your feelings is absolutely terrifying.
👉 You like wearing your pissy pants (which are 2 sizes too small and soaking wet) rather than taking personal responsibility for your own happiness.
👉 You just want to nitpick all the ways you think I’m wrong or not enough and feel justified in your judgment.
👉 You aren’t ready to deeply connect with yourself or change your life (without waiting for anyone else to change).

Seriously, I’m so respectful of you, your feelings, and where you’re at in life. If you don’t want to do your work or read my book, don’t. There are no victims here, only volunteers.

And my book, like everything I do, is an energetic experience. It’s got a high vibration and consciousness level, which may be uncomfortable for a lot of people. If you choose to read it (and open your heart to everything I share), it has the power to change your life for the better—forever. But you don’t have to read it if you aren’t ready.

And if you are?
