A Sacred Space Trauma Recovery

What are you carrying into the new year?

As the year comes to a close, the focus often shifts to goals, resolutions, and “starting fresh.” But the new year isn’t meant to begin with pressure or emotional overload. It’s meant to begin with clarity, regulation, and a sense of support.

If you’re entering the new year already tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally guarded, it’s worth pausing before adding more expectations. Unprocessed grief, old survival patterns, unmet needs, and constant self-doubt don’t disappear just because the calendar changes.

The healthiest way to step into a new year isn’t by pushing harder; it’s by releasing what no longer needs to be carried.

That’s why I’m offering a free clarity session this December, along with a limited-time discount on my coaching packages.

This space is for you to slow down, reflect, and explore what support could look like for you as you transition into the new year, without pressure or obligation.

If you want to start the new year feeling more grounded and supported, you can book the free session through the link in my bio.
Spaces are limited.

If you resonated with any of the signs in this carousel, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common patterns I see in clients I’ve supported over the years.

Exhaustion that doesn’t go away…
Always feeling “on guard”…
People-pleasing, shutting down, or overthinking everything…

These aren’t personality traits; they’re survival responses your body learned long before you had the tools to name them.

This time of the year makes these symptoms even louder.
December brings pressure, family triggers, emotional flashbacks, and a lot of internal comparison, and many survivors start feeling like they’re “regressing” or “failing.”

In my practice, I help clients work through these exact patterns using trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused coaching. And I know how incredibly life-changing it is when someone finally gets the right kind of support.

Because I also know how difficult December can be, I’m offering a special December discount on my coaching packages, something I only do once a year, to make support more accessible during a season that tends to feel the heaviest.

If you’re ready to stop carrying these patterns into the new year, comment “SUPPORT,” and I’ll reach out with details,
You don’t have to navigate this alone, especially not during the hardest month of the year.

Holidays trigger memories for many of us—a full spectrum of memories. I tend to cope by shutting down; some cope by moving into arousal/hyperarousal.. Either way, you are not broken. You are cherished. You are called. You are chosen.

There’s no greater joy than loving and being loved.

“In our goal-oriented society, it's easy to fixate on the destination. But when it comes to trauma recovery, the journey itself is where the true healing occurs.”

Good morning everyone! I have something to share with those who are interested. Last fall I participated in a podcast in which I was interviewed by the lovely and dynamic Stacey Uhrig regarding my experience of surviving and healing from childhood sexual abuse. It’s such a tough and triggering topic that I won’t post it here, but for any of you who think such an interview would be meaningful to you, please message me and I’ll forward you a copy. I’m proud of the work Stacey and I did on this piece and want to make it available to those who need it.

Love you all, and appreciate the way you loved me on my journey to make meaning in my life and the lives of others.

"SHE'S JUST CRAZY", BRIAN LAUNDRIE TOLD THE OFFICERS WITH A CHUCKLE, WHEN THEY QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT THE COUPLE'S DISPUTE...
“Crazy” huh?
“Crazy” because she’s extremely emotional in the back of a patrol car, trying to answer their questions, all the while covering for you, so that you don’t get cited, charged with domestic assault, or spend the night in jail.
“Crazy” because you jokingly called her that and have now planted the seed in officers/viewers minds wondering if perhaps she is “crazy,” all the while you get to play the part of the poor, patient partner who must deal with such an irrational person.
“Crazy” because she takes all the blame of what happened that morning, despite being slapped by you (according to a witness) and somehow convinces herself that it truly is all her fault.
“Crazy” because she feels immense guilt and is profusely apologizing for making you upset, or walking on eggshells, just to prevent you from having another outbreak.
“Crazy” because she is visibly traumatized, terrified and expresses fear of you locking her out of her van, driving off, and leaving her abandoned outside in 100-degree weather.
“Crazy” because her body language in the photo above is of someone who is stuck in a hopeless cycle, living with fear and anxiety, while you are relaxed, cracking jokes, attempting to charm the officers, and laughing without much concern.
“Crazy” because she has developed major anxiety over the course of your relationship, and any time she cries or gets emotional, you mention that you try to distance yourself from her instead of offering comfort and love.
“Crazy” because she has goals of pursuing her own dreams of being a successful blogger, and all she hears is your voice telling her “That she really can’t do any of it.”
