Formation Self Care Studio

11/27/2025

For years, I believed pain was something I had to fix.
So I did what many of us do—I went to dozens of doctors and practitioners, chasing relief like it was hiding in the next protocol or pill.

I tried everything.
Stretching routines. Physio. Functional medicine diets. Dozens of supplements.
I even scoured pain forums at 2 a.m., hoping someone had the answer I was missing.

But the truth?
Pain was never the enemy.
It was a messenger—and I was too busy trying to silence it to actually listen.

What finally shifted everything?
Not doing more, but doing less.
Not control, but connection.
Not force, but softness.

I wasn’t broken. I was just disconnected—from my body, my needs, and the kind of support that heals instead of patches.

🤍 If this resonates, I send free love notes and deep insights through email—things I don’t post here.
DM me “EMAIL” and I’ll add you to the list. You’ll get heart-led reflections, nervous system wisdom, and free resources to support your healing.

You’re not alone. You’re not broken. There is another way.

Nerd Alert 🤓 Tensegrity: What Buckminster Fuller Saw — and What Your Body Has Always Known

Buckminster Fuller coined the term tensegrity —
short for “tensional integrity.”
He used it to describe structures held together
not by stiffness, but by relationship.

A balance of tension and compression.
A dance of opposites that creates strength through connection,
not brute force.

What Fuller mapped in his geometry,
your body has been living since the day you were formed.

Bones floating.
Fascia listening.
Tension and integrity negotiating moment to moment
to keep you upright, adaptive, and alive.

This is the architecture beneath every step you take —
the inner scaffolding that lets you root and rise,
reach and return,
hold and let go.

And here’s the part we rarely name:
tensegrity is also how healthy relationships work.

Every partnership, every friendship, every bond
needs tension — the truth, the stretch, the differences
that ask us to grow.

And every relationship needs integrity —
the trust, the agreements, the groundedness
that keep connection from collapsing.

Too much tension and things snap.
Too much integrity and things go rigid.
But when both forces are in conversation,
connection becomes coherence.

Your body teaches this daily:
healthy tension + healthy integrity = resilience, flow, and aliveness.

Fuller saw it in his domes.
You live it in your fascia.

Your entire life is a practice in tensegrity —
with your body, with others, with yourself.

Learning to hold the stretch
and stay rooted…
that is where true strength lives.

That is the heart of Formation.

To all my sensitives out there—listen.
You can’t make the impact you’re here for
if your body is still collapsing under tension that belongs to an old lifetime.

Your vision is rising like smoke,
hungry, holy, unignorable—
but your tissues are still braced for storms that have already passed.

This isn’t weakness.
This is backlog.
This is your nervous system holding the history no one ever helped you metabolize.

And here’s the part no one says out loud:
your destiny can’t land in a body that’s still in survival mode.
You can have the ideas, the mission, the heart—
but if your soma is cinched tight with yesterday’s grief,
you’ll keep crumbling in the places you’re meant to expand.

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about finally feeling safe enough to be fully present
in the life you worked like hell to build.

If you’re done rising
only to collapse in the same old places—
come closer.
This space is for you.

Like and follow if your body whispered,
“God, that’s me.”

“My doctors think I’m crazy.”
I hear it from women who are leading, loving their sweet fams, creating —
yet feel like their own body is the one thing they can’t outrun.

They’ve done the talk therapy,
journaled the wounds,
named the patterns…
but the body still tightens like a story that refuses to be edited.

Because some feelings don’t speak English.
They lodge.
They hum under the ribs.
They shake the knees.
They curl your breath into half-sized sips of life.

And here’s the truth most people whisper around:
you can lead while your body is depleted —
but you’ll be pouring from a cup that’s been empty for a long, long time.

You can show up.
You can perform.
You can carry it all on your back like you always have.
But the cost is quiet, devastating:
you collapse in private every time you try to rise in public.

Your vision is massive.
Your body is tired.
And the ache between those two realities is where most women burn out.

You’re not crazy.
You’re not broken.
You’re not “too sensitive.”
Your body is simply done surviving a life it wants to live.

When your nervous system learns safety,
when your fascia stops gripping the past,
when your strength comes from presence instead of panic —
your rise stops collapsing under its own weight.

There’s a version of you whose impact doesn’t cost her health.

If you’re ready to stop collapsing on your way up,
like and follow.
Your ascent deserves a body that can hold it.

Your pain has been speaking in a language you were never taught to hear.

It’s not random.
It’s not punishment.
It’s pressure — possibility — truth trying to take shape inside you.

The emotions you swallowed?
They didn’t evaporate.
They sunk into your tissues, waiting for you to finally listen.

When you override your body,
when you push through, numb out, or “power on,”
you disconnect from the very guidance system built to move you forward.

But here’s the quiet, inconvenient truth:
Your next evolution won’t come from efforting harder.
It will come from listening differently.

From noticing the grip before it becomes a flare.
From feeling the ache before it becomes a shutdown.
From honoring your body before it forces the conversation.

Because pain isn’t the enemy —
it’s a messenger.
A map.
A voice.
A doorway back into yourself.

And when you learn its language,
you stop living in reaction
and start moving with flow, ease, and intention again.

This is the work of Vessel.

Vessel 2026 is taking shape —
a group cohort for women who want to stop overriding their bodies, learn the language of their pain, and move with flow, ease, and intention.

If your body is humming “yes,”
DM “Vessel” to join the waitlist.

THE BODY SPEAKS IN MYSTERY

A diagnosis can chart some terrain,
but it can’t speak for the weather of your soul.
It can name the storm —
but not the season you’re living through.

Diagnosis for some can be helpful —
until it becomes a cage.
It can describe the symptoms,
but it can’t translate the language of your fascia,
your pulse, your breath.

Because the body doesn’t speak in labels.
It speaks in mystery.
In waves of sensation,
in contractions and releases,
in whispers too subtle for science to measure.

When you listen beyond the label,
you start to hear what the body’s been saying all along:
“I’m not broken. I’m becoming.”

Mystery doesn’t erase medicine.
It deepens it.
It’s where healing becomes relationship—
where data meets devotion,
and knowing becomes feeling.

Your body is not a riddle to decode.
It’s a mystery to move with.
