Therapists prepping for the first Monday after Thanksgiving like:
Alright… warm up the joints, regulate the nervous system, stretch the soul.
Because nothing quite says ‘holiday season’ like a full-contact return to the family system that wrote the first draft of our attachment style.
Suddenly everyone’s twelve again, mothering their mother, managing the emotional temperature of the house,
and pretending the boundary they set in August somehow doesn’t apply when turkey is present.
It’s the annual parade of:
‘Why did I say yes?’
‘Why do they still talk to me like that?’
‘Why do I feel responsible for everyone’s feelings?’
Holiday conditioning hits DIFFERENT.
Anyway, I’m limbering up.
It’s go time.

If you’re telling yourself you’re “fine” while your body is screaming… honestly?
Welcome to being a woman in a world that has asked us to betray ourselves for decades.
Of course you’re disconnected from your body.
Look at the culture we were raised in.
We were taught to be polite while swallowing our rage.
To be grateful while being overworked.
To be “reasonable” while watching systems crumble around us.
To normalize burnout, self-abandonment, and emotional contortion just to survive.
And now we’re in this moment — this era of collective upheaval — where so many of us are waking up and realizing:
Holy sh*t… maybe I’ve been living upside down.
Maybe the way I’ve been functioning isn’t strength, it’s conditioning.
Maybe my body wasn’t the problem — maybe it’s been telling the truth the whole time.
No wonder you feel “off.”
No wonder your nervous system is screaming for you to slow down, pay attention, and come home to yourself.
You grew up in a world that never made space for your intuition, your needs, your boundaries, or your inner knowing.
And now — while the political landscape feels like a fever dream, like we’re living through the collapse of old systems and the birth of something we haven’t named yet — your body is saying:
“I’m done.
I can’t pretend anymore.
Listen to me.”
This isn’t weakness.
This is awakening.
Your body isn’t betraying you — it’s breaking you out of a lie.
The lie that you’re supposed to endure everything quietly.
The lie that your needs are “too much.”
The lie that you don’t get to take up space.
The lie that survival is the same thing as being alive.
If you’re feeling the scream beneath the surface, it’s because the part of you that remembers who you are is waking up.
Slow down.
Take a breath.
Stop performing for a world that’s falling apart anyway.
Your body is your compass.
It’s time to start listening.
🤍 Follow for trauma-informed, attachment-rooted healing for women who are done living upside down — and ready to reclaim their truth, power, and intuition in a world that needs them awake.

I believe that every single person on this planet has been sent here to do or be something extraordinary, unique, innovative or noteworthy and contribute something to their community. I have seen many people who don’t reach that potential because of an event in their lives that led them to believe they aren’t capable of following through on their dreams or ideas. Every person’s story is different.
In the literary structure of the Hero’s Journey there are twelve steps every hero must endure to get to the end of their tale. Every Hero’s Journey is different, and each story twists the order of the steps to fit their own epoch. However, one thing that brings all of these narratives and heroes together is a defining event that makes our leading lady question everything. I usually identify this step as the ‘ordeal’. This is the part of the story that causes a deep inner crisis that she has to face in order to survive, drawing upon all of her previous skills and experiences in order to overcome her most difficult challenge. This part of the journey can cause our protagonist to take a few steps back and get stuck for a while.
In our everyday world, a defining event could be as simple or as seemingly small as being socialized to live an inauthentic life in a world that appears not to value the hero’s essential self.
Here is an example of a modern Hero’s Journey. Our hero finds herself in a career that gives the impression that she has it all together, is responsible and practical. Later she finds that it is altogether a wrong fit, and she hates the experience she is living in. This is enough to take our hero out of universal flow, and hence, out of alignment with her higher self.
Being out of alignment with your higher self is enough to make you feel like you don’t recognize your life, or like you’ve betrayed yourself in some way. If you find yourself in a situation like this, really, you have betrayed yourself, because you have not honored your essential self and the person you are meant to become.
It is with narrative coaching and aligned intuitive energy that brings about the transformational results of Hero’s Journey Intuitive Coaching.
