Phone calls to your inner child day 2.

Hello, my little friend.
I’ve been thinking about something that no one said to you when they should have.

You didn’t deserve that.
The silence.
The shouting.
The way you were blamed for things that had nothing to do with you.

You were just trying to love and be loved — and somehow, that was made to feel like too much.

But not anymore.
Now you get to feel held, not handled.
Now you get to be understood, not analyzed.
Now you get to rest, not prove.

You don’t have to keep waiting for someone to say it.
I’m saying it now.
That wasn’t your fault — and I’m sorry they made you feel like it was.

Phone calls to your inner child, Day 1

Hello, my little friend.

I just wanted to check in.

You’ve been so quiet lately.

I can feel how hard you’re trying to hold it all together.

How you smile at the right times…

say the right things…

but underneath it all, you still wonder:

“Am I safe yet?”

And I want to tell you — yes.

It’s different now.

You're not alone with it anymore.

You don't have to shrink, or disappear, or pretend it didn’t happen.

You get to be here.

You get to be seen.

You get to be whole.

I’m here. And I’m not going anywhere.

Send me a DM.

“For the Child Who Thought It Was Their Fault”

Somewhere inside you…

Is a younger version of you who didn’t understand why love felt like fear, Why silence felt like punishment,
Why no one came when you were hurting.

And maybe no one ever said it,
So let me say it now:

It wasn’t your fault.
It never was.

You were just a child, doing your best to make sense of a world that didn’t make sense.

The tension in your chest?

The weight in your body?

That’s not weakness—it’s survival. It’s the echo of everything you couldn’t process back then.

But now… there’s a chance to give that younger you what they never got.

Safety.

Compassion.

A nervous system that doesn’t have to brace for impact.

I’m opening a few complimentary 30-minute sessions this week.

This work is gentle, trauma-informed, and built for people who carry too much.

For too long.

Because your inner child deserves peace, too.

A Story of Uncovering Hidden Patterns

I once worked with an 81-year-old woman who discovered just how deeply her past influenced her present. She had always been active and independent but struggled with assertiveness. During a session with the Cube, she froze after only a few touches. Looking frustrated, she said, "I thought this was supposed to be fun. This isn’t fun at all."

I paused the session and asked if I could share my observation. She agreed, and I pointed out how hesitant and careful her movements had been — almost like she was afraid of making a mistake. When I gently asked if her heart ever stopped when her father came home and slammed the car door, she burst into tears. "Yes," she said. "I was seven."

In just 20 minutes of guided play in the Cube, she had unlocked a powerful memory. Two weeks later, she told me she’d experienced an "aha moment." While getting her hair done, her massage chair broke. Normally, she would have quietly endured it, uncomfortable and unspoken. But this time, she stood up and asked for a different chair — something she hadn’t felt permitted to do for decades. In those 20 minutes, she reclaimed her voice and her right to have needs.

In the 6-week program, we create these moments of realization intentionally. After one Cube session, participants reflect on what patterns emerged — did they hesitate, overthink, or avoid certain movements? These subtle patterns often mirror how we show up in relationships. The Cube provides a way to see them clearly and rehearse new responses in a low-stakes environment.

The Unspoken Rules in Family Systems

Imagine a family gathering where everyone knows what role they play. The quiet sibling remains silent, the overachiever dominates the conversation, and the relative who asks too many questions inevitably leaves others feeling overwhelmed. These dynamics, while frustrating, are often subconscious. Predictive processing helps explain why.

Our brains constantly predict outcomes based on past experiences. If speaking up as a child led to being scolded or dismissed, your brain may predict social rejection each time you attempt to share an idea. This prediction feels so real that you may hesitate or fall silent before you even realize why.

In the 6-week Family Systems Program, we explore these patterns head-on. One of the first exercises involves mapping out family roles and tracing where those dynamics started. It’s powerful to see how much of our current behavior stems from past experiences — and even more powerful to realize we can change it.

"That 'new year, new you' thing is coming up. Happy New Year? We all know the drill: make those New Year's resolutions, hit the gym for a couple of weeks, try out a new nutrition goal, and then... a few weeks later, it all silently fades back into what it used to be. 🫤

But what if this time it could be different? What if there’s something deeper holding you back? Let’s explore that together."

Addressing the Root of Shame

To truly move past shame, it’s crucial to address the underlying guilt that fuels it. "The Cube" assists in this introspective process, helping you to dissolve the barriers that shame creates and embrace a clearer, more positive view of yourself. Step into this space where you learn that no one but you has control over your destiny, and discover how releasing guilt can liberate you from the burdens of the past, opening up pathways to new possibilities.

Schedule your complimentary 30 min session today!
