At some point, you became the one who handles everything.

The strong one.
The reliable one.
The one who figures it out.

And you did.

But no one talks about the cost of that.

Living in survival mode for too long doesn’t just exhaust you.

It disconnects you from:
– ease
– softness
– enjoyment

It turns life into something you manage… instead of something you live.

You didn’t break.

You adapted.

And now your system is asking for something different.

🌿 Exercise:
Pick one thing and shrink it to something almost too small:

– 2 minutes
– one step
– one action

Then stop.

No pressure to continue.

This is how you rebuild trust with yourself.

If you’re struggling to start things…
Or you start and can’t finish…

It’s not laziness.

It’s not lack of discipline.

It’s this:

If starting means sustaining, your system will avoid starting.

Because deep down it feels like:
“If I begin, now I have to keep this up.”

And you don’t have the energy for that right now.

So your system protects you by stopping you before you begin.

That’s not failure.

That’s protection.

Take some time to rest.

You're doing great work on a deep level. A good life requires rest.

It's become something we're criticized for....being lazy, unmotivated, and inactive.

What happens when you don't allow yourself time for rest?

We burn out and "hit a wall".

Let's make it normal to rest.

Let’s talk about the part that doesn’t always feel comfortable to admit:

The anger.

Not explosive.
Not dramatic.

Just… there.

Under the surface.

It shows up when something small goes wrong.
When one more thing gets added.
When you realize you’re the one who has to deal with it.

And maybe you’ve been taught to push that anger down.

But here’s the truth:

Your anger isn’t the problem.

It’s the part of you that knows:
– this isn’t fair
– this is too much
– something needs to change

When anger gets ignored, it doesn’t disappear.

It turns into:
– numbness
– shutdown
– “I’m done” energy

🌿 Exercise:
Write (uncensored):
“If I could say anything without consequences, I would say…”

Don’t fix it. Don’t soften it. Just let it out.

Do less, not more

Pick one thing and break it down into smaller pieces.

Not “clean the house” → put away one thing. Do one "piece".

04/05/2026

If you’ve been told to “just think positive” while feeling like this…

You already know it doesn’t work.

Because this isn’t a mindset issue.

You can’t out-think exhaustion.
You can’t gratitude your way out of overwhelm.
You can’t mindset your way out of having too much on your plate.

This is a capacity problem.

You’ve been:
– carrying too much
– for too long
– without enough support

So of course your system is pushing back.

That doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It means your capacity has been exceeded.

🌿 Exercise:
Make two lists:

Drains me:
(people, tasks, expectations, patterns)

Supports me (even a little):
(small things count)

Just seeing it clearly is a powerful first step.

Mid week check in....

Stop trying to feel better or beating yourself up for not having "fixed it" already....try saying:

“Of course I feel like this… I’ve been carrying a lot.”

Then give yourself a few moments to Just Be.

There’s a feeling not enough people talk about.
It’s not depression.
It’s not burnout in the way people usually describe it.
It’s this quiet, heavy sense of…
“I’m just… done.”
Not done with life entirely.
But done with the constant responsibility.
Done with always being the one who handles things.
Done with never getting a real break from being needed.
And when something small happens—like the shower breaking, a bill showing up, another thing added to your plate—it’s not really about that thing.
It’s the moment your system says:
“I can’t keep absorbing more.”
So anger comes up.
Or numbness.
Or that deep urge to just check out.
And then the world responds with:
“Be grateful.”
“Think positive.”
“Shift your mindset.”
But here’s the truth no one says:
👉 This isn’t a mindset problem.
👉 It’s a capacity problem.
You’re not broken.
You’re overloaded.
You’ve likely been:
– carrying too much for too long
– giving more than you receive
– living in a cycle of managing instead of living
So of course a part of you is saying:
“I don’t want to do this anymore.”
And that part of you isn’t wrong.
But it’s also not asking you to disappear.
It’s asking for something to change.
Not your entire life overnight.
Not some perfect “high vibe” version of you.
Just… something more sustainable.
✨ Maybe that looks like:
– lowering the bar for a while
– removing one thing that drains you
– letting yourself feel the anger instead of swallowing it
– carving out even 10 minutes where you are not needed by anyone
Not to fix everything.
But to start putting yourself back into your own life.
Because most of the time, when we say:
“I don’t want to participate in life”
What we really mean is:
“I don’t want to keep living a life where I don’t exist in it.”
And that?
That’s something we can work with. 🌿
If this resonates, you’re not alone in it.
And you don’t have to fake positivity to find your way out.

Yesterday my shower started leaking.

Not a small drip… a “grab a bucket and panic slightly” kind of leak.

And I’ll be honest—my triggers got loud. Lately I’ve been sitting with a lot of self-doubt about my ability to handle life as the “responsible adult.”

A few years ago, I would have taken something like this in stride. Yesterday? It felt heavier.

We ran back and forth between hardware stores, uncovered some questionable choices from previous owners, and tried to figure it out as we went.

And instead of grounding myself like I *know* to do… I pushed everything down.

Because I had to deal with it. Because there wasn’t time to fall apart.

Did that help? Not really.

It made everything louder. Harder. More overwhelming. But here’s the part we don’t talk about enough in healing: ✨ Sometimes the healing happens *after* the moment.

Once things were under control, I sat with myself and really looked at what came up.
– Old fear I picked up from watching my dad struggle with plumbing
– Old wounds from a relationship that chipped away at my confidence
– The familiar spiral that shows up when I’m tired and overwhelmed

None of those thoughts were actually helpful in the moment. But they made sense.

And that’s the work.

Not being perfect in the moment.

Not always responding “the healed way.”

But coming back after, with honesty instead of judgment.

Reminding yourself: You did your best. You handled it. You’re still learning.

Next time(hopefully), I’ll remember to pause.

To ground.

To breathe *before* the spiral.

But for now, I’m not beating myself up. Because healing isn’t about getting it right every time… It’s about meeting yourself with compassion when you don’t.

If you’re in a season where everything feels heavier than it “should”…
you don’t have to figure it out alone.

My Focus & Flow readings and 1:1 coaching are designed for moments exactly like this—
where your mind is loud, your nervous system is overwhelmed, and you need clarity and grounding.

Send me a message if you feel called 🤍

When I first imagined an I Choose Me Year, I thought it would be about all the fun things I’d finally let myself do — the ideas I’ve talked myself out of for years.

What I didn’t realize was what it actually looks and feels like to actively choose myself.

I’ve just finished month one, and it hasn’t been flashy or easy.
It’s been quiet. Reflective. Sometimes uncomfortable.

It’s looked like sitting with myself and really noticing what feels aligned — and what doesn’t — in my health, my relationships, my work, and my overall well-being. It’s shown me things about myself, the people in my life, and my own expectations that I couldn’t unsee once I slowed down enough to look.

This month asked me not to take the easy way out.
To sit with hard truths.
To acknowledge how I’m actually seen — not just how I hoped I’d be.
To meet myself where I am today, instead of judging myself for not being further along.

And in the middle of all that, I realized something important:
The person I want to be is already here. She just needed space to breathe.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to choose yourself — even if you don’t know what that looks like yet — you’re not alone.

If you’d like to begin your own I Choose Me Year, send me a message.
The package is $33, and you can move through it at your own pace, in your own way.

Once a month, on the eve of the New Moon(Dec. 19)...is our Dark Moon(Dec. 18). It's the time to review the past month, reset your goals and realign with yourself...

This is a Three card reading based on the questions:

What am I in the Dark about?

What am I ready to leave behind?

What am I ready to bring into my life?



The readings are done on the day of the Dark Moon and emailed out the same day.
