Have you ever had the thought, “I should have it all figured out by now”?
Here’s the truth: growth isn’t a destination. It’s a lifelong unfolding. You’re allowed to be in process and still be worthy. 🌸

In this episode we ask: Can you really love yourself if you’re still trying to be chosen?

We’re exploring the fawning response (the subtle, survival-based instinct to please, perform, or shapeshift to feel safe). And how it can quietly block the self-love we say we’re practicing.

We all know that when somebody tells you to “calm down” it rarely works, and sometimes it actually makes things worse.

What actually helps? Giving yourself real tools to anchor into.

What did you most need to hear as a kid, but rarely, if ever, did? Let that be the message you start giving yourself now. That’s how healing your inner child begins.🌿

I created this meditation in the middle of an anxious moment—not as a teacher, but as a human trying to breathe.
It’s only five minutes. But sometimes five minutes of calm is all you need to come back to yourself.

It’s wild how long we’ll stay somewhere that’s hurting us just because we hope it’ll change. I stayed in relationships trying to prove I was lovable, when what I really needed was to learn I already was.

You might just need healing that meets you where you are—not where the world expects you to be.

I teach soft, nervous system-safe tools for sensitive souls who are tired of performance-based healing and ready to actually feel safe, seen, and supported.

Your shadow once believed it was protecting you. I used to think anger was “bad,” but really..it was just pointing to the grief and hurt I hadn’t let myself feel.

For so long I thought I had to be useful to be valuable. As well, years ago when I saw other people being bold or confident, it triggered me.. because deep down, I wanted to show up that way too.

✨ I unpack this fully in my podcast — you know where to listen.

Your anxious thoughts aren’t you. They’re just a loop your brain has got stuck in (for whatever reason—trauma, past hurt, etc.)
Try to disrupt the pattern and then gently redirect.

Shadow work isn’t about shame. It’s about honesty, clarity, and reclaiming what we’ve denied ourselves.

Meditation gave me back a sense of ease when I was struggling. The freedom to breathe, to trust my body, to live without constant fear of having another panic attack. 🌿

If someone makes you feel like you have to shrink, tiptoe, or silence your truth: that’s not love, that’s control.
You deserve relationships where safety doesn’t require silence.

My cut off game is strong. 💪 I used to be such a people pleaser but now… if you cause harm to my mental health, if you don’t support me, if you’re a Fairweather friend, or even a manipulative family member I no longer have time for that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Boundaries aren’t rude. They’re clarity.
And if someone’s calling them selfish? That says more about their comfort than your character.

🌿 My book Don’t You Dare is for the version of you reclaiming space, voice, and peace, you know where to find it.

Your conscious mind hears the same stories on repeat. Repatterning is about teaching your subconscious a new script—one rooted in safety, choice, and truth.

ADHD shows up in so many different ways—emotional intensity, sensory overwhelm, burnout, or hyperfocus that leaves you drained. It’s not a one-size-fits-all situation.
