A Mother–Daughter Conversation That Changed Everything

Using the same tools I teach inside Lotus Vision Coaching.

As a coach, I spend my days helping people learn how to communicate with emotional awareness, deeper compassion, and clarity…
But as a mom? I’m still learning too.

In this new video, I sat down with my daughter Aspen and used one of the most transformative tools from my coaching process—powerful, heart-centered questioning.

And I’ll be honest… this conversation humbled me in the best way.

For so long, I thought being a “good parent” meant proving I was doing everything right, staying strong, fixing things, holding it all together.
But the real shift happened when I simply asked Aspen:

“How do you feel loved by me?”

Her answer changed something inside both of us.

It pulled her out of old stories and brought her into truth.
It pulled me out of defensiveness and into deeper understanding.
It reminded both of us that relationships—especially with our children—heal when we create space instead of control, curiosity instead of assumptions.

This is what emotional awareness looks like in real life.
This is how generational patterns shift.
This is how families learn to speak love in each other’s language.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or honestly… just a human trying to build better relationships, I think this conversation will speak to you in ways you don’t expect.

And if it moves you, share it.
Talk about it with your kids.
Ask them your version of this question.
You might be surprised by what opens up.

Let’s keep doing this work—together.
Because the tools only matter when we’re brave enough to use them at home, too.

In a world where parenting advice is often about control and enforcement, what if the real magic lies in asking the right questions? Jamie Gilcrease learned ...

✨ A Story of Generational Healing (Shared With Permission, Identity Protected) ✨

Every so often, I witness something so profound inside this work that it stops me in my tracks. This week, one of my clients shared a moment that perfectly captures what generational healing looks like in real time—and I want to share it while protecting her privacy.

She had a difficult conversation with a parent, one that historically would have spiraled into chaos, hurtful words, old patterns, and emotional shutdown. It was one of those moments where the inner child gets triggered, where the old wounds flare up, and where both sides often end up more disconnected than before.

But this time… something shifted.

She stayed grounded.
She stayed self-aware.
She stayed rooted in love and emotional responsibility.

Instead of reacting from the 14-year-old version of herself, she responded from the healed woman she has grown into.

Later, her parent reached out with an apology—acknowledging their own emotional overwhelm, acknowledging hurtful words, and expressing a desire for a healthier relationship. And because she remained steady, her response wasn’t defensive or guarded. It was open. It was compassionate. It was emotionally regulated.

It was a generational pattern breaking, right before her eyes.

This is the work that moves me.
This is why I do what I do.

When individuals learn to regulate their emotions, hold their truth without aggression, and stay connected to themselves in the middle of someone else’s storm—everything shifts. Families shift. Conversations shift. Futures shift.

We are not just teaching tools.
We are helping people rewrite the story.
We are helping them come home to themselves.
We are helping them lead with love instead of survival patterns.

She told me, “I’m proud of myself,” and she should be. Because what she did wasn’t small—it was transformative. It was a moment of choosing healing over reaction, clarity over chaos, growth over generational repetition.

These are the stories that remind me why this work matters so deeply.
We are not just creating healthier individuals—we are creating healthier families, healthier communication, and healthier futures.

One conversation at a time.
One breakthrough at a time.
One regulated breath at a time.

This is what emotional awareness does.
This is what the deep work creates.
And this is why I will never stop doing this work.

“Tell me something, girl… are you happy in this modern world?” 🎶

That line always stops me in my tracks.
Because underneath the music is a question we all need to ask ourselves —
Am I truly happy here? Or have I just learned to survive it?

For a long time, I chased what I thought happiness looked like —
success, security, approval, belonging.
But underneath it all, I was craving something deeper:
to feel at home in my own soul.

That’s why I do what I do.
I was put on this planet to help people remember who they are —
to create spaces where truth can be spoken out loud,
where dreams don’t have to shrink to fit into someone else’s comfort zone,
where coming home to yourself becomes the greatest journey of all.

Because when we return home to ourselves —
we stop performing and start living.
We stop chasing and start creating.
We stop asking for permission and start shining with purpose.

This is the work.
The sacred, messy, beautiful work of coming alive again. 🌿✨

✨️Introducing The Lotus Chronicles ✨

For years, I’ve believed in the power of honest conversations — the kind that invite us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with who we truly are. The Lotus Chronicles was born from that space. It’s a series of meaningful dialogues about growth, healing, purpose, and the many ways we can rise—again and again—through life’s muddy waters.

Our first episode is one that’s close to my heart. 💛
Tracy and I open up about our own journeys — how coaching, hypnosis, and somatic awareness have helped us (and those we work with) find clarity, peace, and connection. Together, we talk about healing from within, connecting with our inner child, and learning to drop judgment so we can show up as our most authentic selves.

It’s real, vulnerable, and full of those “me too” moments that remind us we’re not alone in this journey.

🎧 Watch the full episode on YouTube — you’ll find stories of transformation, spiritual insight, and the magic that happens when we get better together.

When someone is drowning, that’s not the time to teach them how to swim.

Sometimes people don’t need advice.
They don’t need a life lesson or a list of what they should’ve done differently.
They just need someone to reach out a hand —
to remind them that they’re not alone in the waves.

The truth is, most people want to help.
Their hearts are in the right place — they just haven’t been given the tools.
No one ever taught them how to sit in the discomfort of someone else’s pain,
or how to listen without fixing.
How to hold space instead of holding judgment.

And yet… this is where healing begins.
Not in trying to change others, but in learning to understand them.
Not in talking over the storm, but in standing beside someone until the water calms.

Imagine if we had spaces where people could learn that —
where curiosity replaced criticism,
and compassion became the language we all spoke.

That’s what the Next Level Collective is all about.
It’s a space where people practice the art of presence.
Where communication becomes connection.
Where we remember that sometimes, reaching out your hand
can be more powerful than any words you could ever say.

Because when someone’s fighting to keep their head above water,
it’s not advice that saves them.
It’s empathy.
It’s love.
It’s you — choosing to see them, hear them, and reach out anyway.

Resilience isn’t about becoming hard. It’s about standing rooted in love, even when the world feels heavy and unkind.

Are you willing—do you have the courage—to stand in kindness and love even when stones are being thrown your way?

Can you stand wholeheartedly, unwavering, at your deepest challenge, in your deepest grief… and still choose to love those around you with kindness, caring, softness, and support—even knowing it may not come back to you?

Because true strength is not in hardening, but in keeping your heart open. 💜

So I ask you today:
👉 Will you let this world make you hard? Or will you rise with resilience, and let love lead the way?

Today I found myself thinking again about the words Jesus spoke as He hung on the cross:
“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

That line has followed me for years. It comes back to me in moments when forgiveness feels impossible—when the hurt is deep, when the words cut sharp, when the weight of the past presses hard on my heart.

In the last seven years especially, I’ve had to wrestle with what forgiveness really means. I’ve had to whisper those words to myself over and over again: they do not know. It’s softened my heart in times when bitterness tried to take root.

I want to be a warrior for Jesus. Not the kind of warrior that fights back with fists or words, but the kind who wakes up each day determined to be kinder, more loving, and more forgiving than the day before. Even when I’m afraid. Even when I feel mocked or misunderstood. Even when it would be easier to harden my heart.

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse what was done. But it frees me from being chained to it.

So today, I’m reminding myself: the prize isn’t in proving myself to others. The prize is living in a way that reflects Christ’s love—by forgiving, again and again, just as He forgave.

And maybe this is for you, too. Where in your life are you being asked to forgive? What weight could be lifted if you let go and placed it in God’s hands?
