Thinking about relationships this evening. ..to me the craziest part of them is that we can’t ever know how far the other person traveled to meet us there- Or how many times they rose to the occasion and showed up for us, even when it was really hard or inconvenient. . ..all the times theyContinue reading “How far”

Be the change
It’s so easy to get caught up in rescuing the “invisible victim” or fighting the “invisible enemy, but at the end of the day the only thing we actually have control over is ourselves. The belief that we can change much of anything “out there” is an illusion that keeps us stuck, disempowered, and inContinue reading “Be the change”
Healing in layers
I’ve been working with an Specialized Kinesiology practitioner for a year and a half, and it’s been the single most beneficial modality I’ve found. Basically if I could only pick one this would be it! The main thing I’ve learned is healing happens in layers; not necessarily chronological, but there does seem to be aContinue reading “Healing in layers”
The energetics of Lyme
This was my response to someone in a social media wellness group asking for tips on managing a Lyme flare-up. They had just started a new job at an addiction treatment center, and reported feeling depleted in their new role; eventhough (from what I could gather) they felt fulfilled knowing they were helping people. CanContinue reading “The energetics of Lyme”
Self Exploration
When doing our own self-exploration, I can’t emphasize enough the importance of adopting an attitude of gentle curiosity around what surfaces. All too often I catch myself slipping into judgement, which I suspect is the ego’s way of protecting me from what I may find. While it’s very well-meaning, the truth is I am strongContinue reading “Self Exploration”
Narcissistic projections and family roles
If anyone is reading this and knows how to add a hyperlink to “sequel entries” then feel free to leave a comment 😆🙄 The blog is in chronological order, but other than that I can’t claim there’s a method to the madness. ..I just try to honor what comes through- or get centered enough toContinue reading “Narcissistic projections and family roles”
Letting go of the story
What does it look like to let go of the trauma story- or atleast take a break from it? Hmmm. .. I am noticing a part of me is concerned that I’ll be perceived as lacking compassion or empathy for writing this. That part is growing very uncomfortable right about now, so as a compromiseContinue reading “Letting go of the story”
Going “no contact” with family members
No clever title on this one. I’m getting right to the point. This entry was inspired by an Instagram post from Dr. Nicole LePera (the Holistic Psychologist on social media) called “Reminders if you’re estranged from family,” and is posted in the comments section. People have really strong opinions about this topic, but the onlyContinue reading “Going “no contact” with family members”
What you reclaim you get to keep
The title of this entry came from a download I had while doing some breathing exercises. Like so many of these little phrases that drop in, it’s not so much what is said, but the way it lands that makes it so powerful. Healing is a reclamation in every sense of the word. One ofContinue reading “What you reclaim you get to keep”
What I know for sure
The only way out of the hell we create is taking radical ownership of our participation in relationships, jobs, etc that are causing harm. I wish I had better news, but I dont. Unless we do our own healing work on the parts of us that resonate with the harmful person/situation, then we’ll most likelyContinue reading “What I know for sure”
