Let’s be honest:
Not knowing how to communicate doesn’t just cause arguments…
Over time, it breaks down even the healthiest relationships.

Because it’s never just “bad communication.”
It’s the unhealed stuff underneath—the childhood wounds, survival strategies, and emotional reflexes that hijack your ability to listen, speak, or stay present with the person you love.

Most couples think they’re fighting about chores, tone, schedules, or “the way you said that.”
But they’re not.

They’re fighting old wounds.

They’re defending themselves from childhood pain, not each other.

🧠 In my book, Own Your S**t, I share the stories of several real couples—people who loved each other deeply but were stuck in destructive cycles of shutdowns, explosions, withdrawals, and misunderstandings.
Not because they didn’t care…
but because their Wild Brains were hijacking their reactions and dragging them straight into survival mode.

And survival mode?
It destroys connection.

That’s why I teach couples The O.W.N. Method:
Observe What’s happening Now.
And the word “s**t” isn’t just for shock value—it stands for:
Stuff Hijacking the Irrefutable Truth.
The old narratives, wounds, and triggers that keep you from seeing your partner clearly.

When couples learn this method, everything changes.
And when they use the companion workbook together?
They go even deeper, uncovering:

❤️ What’s really driving their arguments
❤️ How childhood survival patterns show up in their marriage
❤️ How to regulate before reacting
❤️ How to see each other with clarity—not through the fog of past pain
❤️ How to finally break the cycles that keep pulling them apart

The workbook gives couples the space to personalize the tools, identify their cycles, and actually practice healthier communication—together.

🛑 You don’t have to keep having the same argument again and again.
You don’t have to feel misunderstood, unseen, or unsupported.
And you don’t have to let unresolved childhood wounds run your relationship.

👫 If you want a relationship that feels safer, softer, and more connected—start here.

Because love isn’t lost through one big argument.
It’s lost through years of unowned wounds.

Own your s**t—
and you can reclaim your relationship.

What did you have to become to survive your childhood?

The overachiever?
The peacemaker?
The one who never asked for anything?
The one who always had it together?

Here’s the harder question: How is that version of you still running your life?

You keep giving more than you get. You stay quiet even when you want to scream. You don’t ask for help because you’re afraid people will leave. You constantly feel like you’re not enough—so you over-function, over-love, over-give, and end up empty.

But here’s the truth:
That pattern didn’t start in adulthood. It started in survival. And it’s been running the show ever since.

In my book, Own Your S**t, I help you uncover exactly how your childhood survival strategies are still sabotaging your relationships, your peace, and your purpose.

You’ll learn my practical framework called The O.W.N. Method:
Observe What’s happening Now—with the Stuff Hijacking the Irrefutable Truth (S.H.I.T).

Together, that means taking control of the childhood stuff that keeps hijacking the truth of who you really are.

✨ So if you want 2026 to be the year you finally understand:

Why you do what you do,

Why you feel what you feel,

And how to stop abandoning yourself just to keep others around…

Start here.
Start now.
Start by owning it.

The holidays are coming… and so is the anxiety.
Not because you hate your family—but because you know you’ll have to survive them.

You’ll have to overperform.
You’ll have to smile through the discomfort.
You’ll have to shrink down into the only version of you they’re willing to accept—the version with no boundaries, no voice, and no needs.

And if you’re being honest, it’s exhausting.

Here’s the truth: That reaction isn’t random. It’s your brain on autopilot. There’s a part of your mind—what I call the Wild Brain—that stores the most emotionally charged moments from your childhood. And when it senses danger (even emotional danger), it hijacks your rational brain and pulls you right back into survival mode.

Suddenly, you're 8 years old again—performing, pleasing, shutting up, shutting down.

But here’s the good news: You can stop the cycle.

In my book, Own Your S**t, I teach you a practical method called The O.W.N. Method—Observe What’s happening Now. And that “s**t”? It’s not just a provocative word. It stands for Stuff Hijacking the Irrefutable Truth—the unhealed childhood wounds that hijack your peace, your relationships, and your identity.

Together, O.W.N Your S**t means:
👉🏽 Take control of the childhood stuff that continues to hijack you from seeing the truth of who you really are.

This book will show you exactly:

How your childhood survival strategies still show up in your adult relationships (especially with family)

Why you keep shrinking, people-pleasing, or exploding in certain environments

How to interrupt your autopilot reactions and choose differently—with power, peace, and presence

So before you head into another holiday season feeling like a shell of yourself… grab the book.

Because this year, you don’t have to survive the room.
You can own it.

You weren’t born to shrink. But somewhere along the way, you learned it was safer to disappear.

In Chapter 1 of Own Your S**t, I share the story of my real-life client, Gale—a brilliant, successful woman who kept finding herself overlooked in love and at work. On the surface, it seemed like bad luck. But when we dug deeper, the truth was undeniable: Gale was still stuck in the role her childhood assigned her.

She was the “good one”—the one who stayed quiet, stayed helpful, and stayed out of the way. That’s how she survived growing up. But as an adult? That survival strategy was costing her promotions, connection, and peace.

Once Gale learned how to recognize the way her past was hijacking her present, everything changed. Today, she’s preparing to step into a VP role at her company. Why? Because she stopped shrinking—and started owning her s**t.

And that’s what this book will teach you to do.

OWN stands for Observe What’s happening Now.
S**T stands for Stuff Hijacking the Irrefutable Truth.

Together, Own Your S**t means taking back control of the childhood stories, roles, and wounds that continue to hijack your worth, your voice, your truth.

This book doesn’t just explain the problem. It gives you the solution. You’ll learn my OWN Method—a simple, practical tool that helps you:

Understand what’s actually happening in your brain when you get triggered

Regulate your nervous system in real time

Recognize how childhood wounds are still shaping your relationships and career

Replace impulsive reactions with grounded responses

Own your voice, your needs, your worth

So let me ask you this:

What did you have to become to survive your childhood—and how is that still showing up in your adult life?

It’s time to stop letting your wounded 8-year-old run the show.
It’s time to Own Your S**t.

You Can’t Heal in Relationships or Rise in Business Until You Own What’s Hijacking You."

O.W.N = OBSERVE WHAT'S happening NOW!
S**T = STUFF HIJACKING the IRREFUTABLE TRUTH. Learn to stop, regulate, and choose behaviors based on the truth of the matter versus the wild stories from your inner 8 year old.

You’re not crazy. You’re triggered.
And the worst part? You don’t even know when it’s happening.

There is a part of your brain—what I call the Wild Brain—that stores the most emotionally charged moments from your childhood. Moments of rejection. Abandonment. Fear. Humiliation. All the things you never processed.

And here’s the truth most people never hear:
When that part of your brain gets activated, your rational brain goes offline. Completely.
You’re no longer responding to what’s happening now—you’re reacting to what happened then.

That’s why your arguments escalate so fast.
Why you shut down, lash out, or run away.
Why you keep dating the same person in a different body.
Why your marriage feels like a battlefield.
Why the smallest things feel like a threat.

You’re not reacting to the moment.
You’re fighting ghosts.

Most people know what “triggered” means on the surface, but have no idea what it actually is, what to do about it, or how deeply it’s sabotaging their adult relationships.

And that’s exactly why I wrote my book.

Own Your S**t gives you a clear, practical, easy-to-apply method to stop your destructive patterns by teaching you how to slow down, regulate, and step out of survival mode.

My method is called the O.W.N. Method — Observe What’s happening Now.

And s**t?
It stands for Stuff Hijacking the Irrefutable Truth.
Because that’s exactly what your unhealed childhood wounds do—they hijack you. They take over. They convince you of lies. And they cause you to fight or flee when what you actually need is clarity and truth.

If your relationships keep ending the same way…
If you keep choosing the same people…
If your reactions are ruining your connections…
It might not be them. It might be YOU—operating from old pain you’ve never learned to regulate.

And here’s the hope:
You can change it.
You can calm the chaos.
You can learn a new way of showing up.
You can finally get out of your wounds and into your wisdom.

If you’re ready to understand what’s actually happening inside your brain—and finally break the cycles keeping you stuck—this book is for you.
