The Fire Horse energy is bold. Independent. Unapologetic🔥🐎

And if you’re healing from people-pleasing, this is your reminder:
You were never meant to shrink to stay safe.

The Fire Horse doesn’t ask for permission.
It doesn’t abandon itself to keep the peace.
It moves with instinct, truth, and inner fire.

Recovery from people-pleasing means:
✨ Disappointing others without abandoning yourself
✨ Choosing authenticity over approval
✨ Letting your “no” be a full sentence

This season is about reclaiming autonomy.
Less performing.
More becoming.

If you’ve been overgiving, overexplaining, or overfunctioning —
consider this your cosmic permission slip to run wild toward your own life.

Starting therapy for codependency can feel overwhelming.
You’re used to being the strong one.
The helper.
The fixer.
The one who doesn’t need anything.

And now you’re walking into a room (or logging on) to talk about your needs.

That’s brave.

Healing codependency means learning boundaries, self-trust, emotional regulation, and secure attachment — without guilt. It means untangling people-pleasing, anxious attachment, and over-responsibility.

You don’t have to have the perfect words. You don’t have to justify why you’re tired.
You just have to show up.

✨Therapy for codependency recovery.
✨Therapy for anxious attachment.
✨Therapy for high-functioning women who are done abandoning themselves.

Save this for when you’re ready to choose you 🤍

Returning to self is 🤍Choosing stillness over proving
🤍Listening over fixing
🤍Letting yourself be enough. ✨Save this for the moments you need permission to come back to yourself.

Rebuilding self-trust isn’t loud.
It’s the quiet moment you pause instead of pushing. ❄️
The choice to listen to your body instead of overriding it.

This is what healing looks like when you stop abandoning yourself. ❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹Codependency recovery isn’t just learning to say no —
it’s learning to say YES ON PURPOSE.

Eating the oatmeal creme pie because I wanted it
not because I felt deprived, pressured, or on autopilot.

Healing looks like:
🍪 choosing instead of coping
✨ desire without justification
🧠 body-led decisions
🤍 no guilt required

You’re allowed to enjoy things
without earning them, explaining them,
or canceling them out later.

Sometimes recovery is boundaries.
Sometimes it’s dessert — CHOSEN FREELY.

Save this if you’re unlearning self-denial 🤍

Day 1 of 365.
Not rushing the process.
Not forcing outcomes.

Healing happens when we learn to enjoy the journey
and trust that we will arrive right on time to the destination that is meant for us 🌅⏰.

Progress doesn’t need pressure — it needs presence ✨

✨ 🎁🎉 Friendly Reminder: The holidays don’t have to be all-or-nothing.

✅You can rest AND gently move your body.
✅ You can spend time with family AND protect your alone time. ✅ You can eat nourishing meals AND enjoy holiday treats. This is the power of AND — a mindset shift that supports your mental health, nervous system regulation, and emotional balance, especially during the holidays.

If you notice guilt, pressure, or burnout creeping in this season, pause and remind yourself:
✨ Balance is allowed.
✨ Care can be flexible.
✨ You don’t have to choose one or the other.

💬 Save this as a reminder or share it with someone who needs permission to soften this season.

Notes, sessions, emails—because mental health care doesn’t pause for the holidays. It’s my privilege to be a support during this time of year. If this season feels overwhelming, you’re not alone ❣️

I signed up last-minute for the Reindeer Dash 5K and unexpectedly won first place in my age group! My first ever place medal 🥹🥇This was a surprising blessing after a long break from competitive racing and overcoming health issues.

I almost gave up running for good when my body was fighting against me, and I wasn’t meeting the standard I set for myself. I had to learn to adjust my expectations. I had to trade in intense training, long runs and half marathons for easy paces, more rest days and solo neighborhood 5Ks. The beauty of it all is that by surrendering and listening to my body, it made me stronger and faster ❤️‍🩹

I walked away from this race with two medals and two lessons:

1. When you stop chasing the prize, it will come to you.🏃‍♀️🏆
2. Never give up on yourself 💪❣️
