Consciously Connecting, Victoria, BC (2026)

It’s easy to feel behind when your life didn’t follow a straight line.

When safety came before exploration.
When survival came before self-expression.
When your energy went into getting through instead of getting ahead.

Many trans and gender-diverse people quietly carry this belief:
Everyone else is further along.

Here’s the reframe that matters:

You didn’t miss your moment.
You weren’t late.
You were adapting.

There is no correct timeline for becoming yourself.
There is only your timing and it deserves respect.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, we honour the pace your life required.
We don’t rush what learned to move carefully.
We don’t shame what took time.

You are right on time for your life.

If you want support moving forward without rushing yourself, I’m here.

02/15/2026

Many transgender and gender-diverse people have been assessed more than they’ve been accompanied.

Labeled instead of listened to.
Explained instead of understood.
Treated as a problem to solve rather than a person to meet.

That leaves a mark.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, support is not about diagnosing your identity or dissecting your experience.

It’s about relationship.

It’s about noticing what you’re carrying and asking, gently:
What would help right now?
What feels supportive instead of intrusive?
What pace feels respectful to your system?

You don’t need to be in distress to deserve care.
You don’t need to justify your needs.
You don’t need to frame your life as a problem.

Support can simply be a place where nothing about you needs to be explained away.

If you’re seeking support that meets you as you are, you’re welcome here.

02/13/2026

There is grief that doesn’t always get named.

Grief for the years spent hiding.
Grief for versions of yourself that kept you safe but cost you closeness.
Grief for what might have been easier in a more generous world.

For transgender and gender-diverse people, becoming more yourself can carry both relief and loss.

Both are allowed.

You don’t have to rush through grief to prove you’re okay.
You don’t have to frame it as gratitude or growth to make it acceptable.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, we make space for the whole experience:
The tenderness.
The anger.
The relief.
The quiet moments where something old loosens its grip.

Becoming isn’t linear.
It’s layered.
And you don’t have to walk it alone.

If you want support holding both grief and growth, I’m here.

02/11/2026

Rest can feel complicated when you’ve had to stay alert to stay safe.

For many transgender and gender-diverse people, slowing down wasn’t always an option.
Rest meant vulnerability.
Vulnerability meant risk.

So the body learned to stay ready.

Here’s something worth naming gently:
Choosing rest in a world that asks you to constantly adapt is not weakness.
It’s a form of resistance.

Rest says:
I am not required to perform my worth.
I am not required to be productive to be valuable.
I am allowed to pause without disappearing.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, wellness includes permission to stop pushing.
To listen to what exhaustion is trying to say.
To let rest become a relationship—not a reward.

You don’t have to earn your right to rest.

If rest feels hard or unfamiliar, support can help you meet it safely.

02/09/2026

So many trans and gender-diverse people were taught explicitly or quietly, that belonging had rules.

Be palatable.
Be consistent.
Be understandable.
Be easy.

Over time, identity can start to feel like something you manage instead of something you live.

Here’s a different invitation:

You don’t need to be articulate today.
You don’t need to educate anyone.
You don’t need to hold yourself together for others.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, identity isn’t a performance.
It’s a lived, evolving relationship with yourself.

There is room here for fluidity.
For rest.
For contradiction.
For being unfinished.

You don’t need to earn your place by being legible.

If you’re looking for support that honors your full humanity, I’m here.

02/08/2026

If you feel tired before the day even begins, there’s a reason.

Many transgender and gender-diverse people live with a nervous system that learned to stay alert.
Scanning for tone.
Watching for shifts.
Preparing for impact before it arrives.

This isn’t a weakness or failing.
It’s our intelligence shaped by experience.

Wellness doesn’t begin with pushing your body to calm down.
It begins with understanding why it learned to stay on guard.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, nervous system support is about safety before change.
Listening before adjusting.
Meeting your body with respect instead of correction.

You don’t need to override your responses.
You need space to feel safe enough to soften—when you’re ready.

Support is available if you want help creating more internal safety.

02/06/2026

You don’t owe anyone your story to receive support.

You don’t have to be in crisis.
You don’t have to be “sure.”
You don’t have to know exactly what you want yet.

Sometimes the first step is simply noticing:
Something feels heavy.
Something wants attention.
Something inside you is asking to be met.

Coaching, peer support, and general wellness at ConsciouslyConnecting are offered as choices, not prescriptions.

You get to decide:
What kind of support fits.
How fast you move.
What parts of you are ready to show up.

There is room here for uncertainty.
There is room here for rest.
There is room here for your whole self.

Support is available as presence.

If and when it feels right, you can reach out to learn more about working together.

02/04/2026

Not all support needs to come from someone “above” you.

For many transgender and gender-diverse people, help has often arrived with conditions:
Advice you didn’t ask for.
Paths you were expected to follow.
Explanations you were asked to give.

That can make even well-intentioned support feel unsafe.

Peer and mentor support, when done well, is different.

It’s not about fixing you.
It’s not about directing your journey.
It’s about being with you while you find your own footing.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, support is relational, not hierarchical.
You are the expert on your life.
Support exists to walk alongside you; not to take the wheel.

Sometimes what creates the most relief isn’t answers.
It’s being understood without having to translate yourself.

If you’re curious about peer or mentor-style support, you’re welcome to message me.

02/02/2026

Wellness is not about becoming someone else.

For many trans and gender-diverse folks, “self-improvement” spaces can quietly reinforce the same message the world already sends:
Try harder.
Be different.
Fix something.

That’s not what we do here.

At ConsciouslyConnecting, wellness is about learning how to be in relationship with yourself; especially the parts that learned to stay alert, guarded, or small just to survive.

Self-leadership doesn’t mean pushing through.
It means listening inward.
Noticing what’s here.
Choosing with care instead of pressure.

You don’t need to optimize your identity.
You don’t need to heal on a schedule.
You don’t need to prove resilience.

You are allowed to move at the speed of safety.

And support can walk beside you without taking over your path.

If you’re seeking coaching or peer support that honours your agency and pace, I’m here when you’re ready.

02/01/2026

You don’t need to explain who you are to be worthy of care.

For many transgender and gender-diverse people, safety has often meant monitoring, editing, or bracing.
Bracing for misunderstanding.
Bracing for correction.
Bracing for being asked to justify your own experience.

Here, we slow that down.

ConsciouslyConnecting is built around the belief that you are already whole.
Not because things are easy.
Not because everything is figured out.
Because your worth was never conditional.

You are allowed to arrive exactly as you are today.
Curious. Tired. Certain. Uncertain. Still becoming.

Support doesn’t have to be about fixing.
It can be about being met.

If you’ve been holding yourself together for a long time, know this:
You don’t have to do that alone here.

🌙 Consciously My Self: The Workshop 🌙
Coming this September!!

If the free preview of my book stirred something inside you… this is your invitation to take the next step.

This isn’t a lecture or a rigid program. It’s an experience: an intimate, guided space where we’ll explore the foundational practices of Self Leadership together in community.

Inside this workshop, we’ll:
✨ Gently name the stories shaping us
✨ Meet the inner aspects and roles we carry
✨ Practice self-led connection through guided visualizations and reflections
✨ Create room for the parts of us ready to be witnessed

You don’t need to finish the book preview or know everything about Parts Work. You only need a willingness to meet yourself with curiosity and compassion.

🌀 This workshop is for anyone.
Especially those feeling lost or stuck on repeat in life. Those that feel like they know longer know who they are and those they feel like they have never known themselves.

Seats are intentionally limited to keep the circle close and connected.

You’re not broken, you’re waiting to be met.

If you’re longing to feel more like yourself again…

If the noise of life has made it hard to hear your own inner knowing…

If you crave space to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the the noise of survival…

Then this live 3-part workshop series was created for you.

The Self Energy Workshop Series is an intimate, guided space to build a steady, grounded relationship with your Self: your clearest, calmest, most compassionate inner presence.

You’ll walk away with:

✨ A deeper understanding of what Self Energy actually is (and what it’s not)
✨ Tools to access and strengthen your connection to Self—even in the middle of chaos
✨ Real-time practices, reflections, and connection in a supportive group space
✨ A felt sense of what it means to be with all parts of yourself, without fixing or forcing

We begin June 10th.
• 3 weekly sessions (1.5 hours each)
• Online via Zoom
• Capped at 20 participants for meaningful interaction

This isn’t just a course—it’s a homecoming.

If your heart knows it’s time…
Come meet your Self.
