Shame is one of the most painful human experiences, not because it means something is wrong with us, but because it brings the most vulnerable parts of us into the light before we feel ready.

Shame is the nervous system saying,
“This part of me is too tender. Too exposed. Too unprotected.”

And so we hide.
We shrink.
We dim parts of ourselves that once felt natural, creative, or alive.

But here is the truth most people never learn:
Shame does not appear where we are broken. It appears where we are sensitive, intimate, and longing for care.
It shows us the exact places we have never been met with safety.

It reveals the parts of us that never learned to exist in the light without fear.

And when we approach those places gently, something profound happens.

They soften.
They unfurl.
They begin to trust the light again.

Healing shame is not about forcing yourself to feel confident.
It is about creating the conditions, both inside yourself and in relationships, where the most tender parts of you finally feel safe to be seen.

If you are craving a space to explore this with guidance, community, and compassion, Rooted in Worth is designed for exactly this kind of healing.

We take the parts you have hidden,
the parts that feel like too much,
the parts that shame has wrapped itself around,
and we bring them into a gentler light, one held with safety, grounding, and connection.

Enrollment is now open.
The sign-up form is available through the Linktree in my bio.

If your body felt something while reading this, a pull, a tightness, or a quiet yes, that may be the part of you that is ready to receive the healing it has been waiting for.

You are not meant to do this alone.
Let’s walk this path back to worth together.

You’ve heard these phrases a thousand times:

“Let go.”
“You are enough.”
“Trust the process.”
“Rest is productive.”
“It’s ok to say no.”

They make sense in your mind.
But they don’t land in your body.

Because before healing, truth stays in the head —
looping through logic, analysis, self-awareness, insight…

But through somatic healing (EMDR, IFS, FLASH, IFS-informed parts work)…
your system begins to receive what it was once too overwhelmed to hold.

You stop trying to convince yourself.
Your body lets it in.

And that shift isn’t loud.
It’s subtle:
A breath you didn’t realize you were holding.
A softening in the chest.
A quiet “oh.”
Mostly a “wow”!

Healing isn’t learning something new.
It’s feeling safe enough to finally feel what you already knew.

If this resonates, your healing is already in motion.

Anxiety and intuition can feel similar — both live in the body, both speak up when something matters.
But they sound different.

Anxiety shouts — it questions, worries, overthinks.
Intuition whispers — it knows, steadies, and guides.

The more we learn to listen to our bodies, the easier it becomes to tell which voice is speaking.

Self-worth isn’t just a feeling — it’s something you practice.

- Celebrate your wins (even the small ones).
- Set goals that feel real and reachable.
- Care for your body, mind, and spirit.
- Say no when you need to.
- Keep good company.
- Stop comparing.
- Try new things — confidence grows through experience.

Every small choice that honors you builds the foundation of self-worth.

Self-trust isn’t built overnight — it’s built one kept promise at a time.

Self-confidence comes from showing up for the hard stuff, gently and consistently.

Tiny steps count. They always have.

You can’t “fix” your way into wholeness.
Wholeness was never lost — just forgotten beneath layers of self-criticism.

Healing begins the moment you stop trying to become someone better
and start learning to be gentle with the one you already are.
