remember our growth is a marathon, not a sprint. if you are being extra hard on yourself for not being exactly where you want to be right in this moment, take a moment to pause... reflect- think about 1 thing you did today that you are proud of; maybe something the version of you 7 years ago would not have done. that is growth, my love.

Recovering from chronic people pleasing, boundaries have become a daily practice for me, something I am still strengthening. In the past, I would drink and still do whatever I could to appease everyone else, and most of the time that path led me to anger and eventually resentment.

What I have learned is that it is not my responsibility for other people to know my threshold, it is MY responsibility to know it and to honor when enough is enough. When I move from that place, I do not overcommit and I do not say yes when my body, heart, mind, and soul are saying no. And if someone does not want to remain in my life when I am being honest and rooted, then we are just not aligned, and that creates space for both of us for something more aligned to enter.

Emotional maturity and containment go hand in hand. Think of it like ingredients to the recipe of emotional sobriety; steps in the process of personal development. Not everything you experience is asking of you to share. Sometimes our emotions are asking us to turn inward; to look within so we can hear our higher power, heal and grow. You might find, that some of those relationships, which were only for emotional unloading, begin to gently fall off... and that's okay. We are all healing in our own time. 🤍

Healing beings when the cycle stops with you. We are here to break more than generational cycles; we are here to break collective cycles.

What Sobriety Taught Me About Emotional Responsibility — Part Four

Healing is choosing not to recruit others into your suffering. The pain stops with you. We are cycle breakers. We are breaking more than generational cycles, we are also breaking normalized cycles like trauma dumping for instance.

This guided meditation was born from my own personal panick attacks and PTSD flare ups. The truth is, you can't control when they creep up on you, but you do have the ability to stay with yourself and see yourself through it rather than resist.

Meditation is so much more than shifting into a trance state. It can also be a tool to bring you back into your body when you have lost the ability ot deviate from the past and the present - especially during those PTSD spikes. The term meditation is often referred to a variety of practices that focus on mind and body integration and are used to calm the mind and enhance overall well-being.

This particular practice was designed to be used anywhere at any time because sometimes those panick attacks hit while driving, walking, shopping, waiting in line, at the playground, a celebration or anywhere in public.

Enjoy this little clip. The full practice is on my YouTube channel and Spotify. Save it for the future or share it with a friend. These practices are designed to be shared. Healing is accessible for all. I love you all, truly.

Yesss, I feel this deeply. Pain is not permission to bring others to your level. I found that a lot of my trauma is rooted in feeling alone, and in the past I would want everyone to feel how I felt good or bad- but now I realized that I am robbing people of their journey and so much more. Why in the world would I want someone to feel these dense, heavy emotions I have been blessed to navigate? Why in the world would I pass something like this on to someone else? Just so I (raised voice and very drawn out) dont feel alone? Yeah, no thanks. Not anymore. Today I choose to navigate these gifts with myself and my higher power.

More will be revealed in the podcast 🤌🫶

This book came from a very personal place.

As a mom, I’ve been noticing how much my daughter learns from what I model — not just what I say. And in paying attention, I realized I’m still learning about my own relationship with food, too.

So we’ve been growing together. We’ve been talking about what different foods do in our bodies. We’ve been trying to eat the rainbow in small, practical ways. We’ve been choosing curiosity.

From the Garden to the Body grew out of that season. I wanted something that felt safe. Something that slows things down. Something families can return to again and again.

It’s now available on Amazon.

With love,

One way I know I’m healing is when I slow down enough to tune into my body and listen for what’s underneath the emotion, instead of trying to feel better right away.

Instead of lashing out at the person who surfaced the wound. Instead of recruiting others to match my emotions so I don’t feel alone.

Instead of offloading what I’m carrying because it feels too heavy to sit with. I know I’m healing when I pause long enough to meet myself there and choose peace.

venting can easily shift to trauma dumping and trauma dumping can easily be masked as venting. The ability to spot the difference surfaces when we slow down and tune in. I dive deeper into this in my latest podcast episode which is currently live on YouTube and Spotify. I love you all🤍💞🫂

What Sobriety Taught Me About Emotional Responsibility — Part Three
Venting seeks relief.

Trauma dumping seeks discharge.
Sobriety taught me how to tell the difference.

Venting can bring relief, but not all sharing is integration. When emotions move through us without being tended to, we look for places to put them.

So how do we notice when venting has become trauma dumping? We tune in to our bodies. We sit with the uncomfortable. We provide space for ourselves to fully feel without judgment.

Emotional responsibility begins when we notice the urge to offload and choose presence instead of discharge.

You don’t owe anyone an explanation, especially when you are processing your own emotions to get to the root cause. In most cases, its not about the situation at hand but more so an old wound surfacing asking for some tender loving care from your higher self.🤍

With Love & Support,
