Narcissism has become a buzz word in the worst way.

We are all capable of narcissistic tendencies.

I think a lot of times, people call other people narcissists when they are unwilling to deal with their own bu****it and would rather blame other people for their problems.

This is a problem.

Especially when narcissistic abuse is real and its effects can be devastating.

When you're swimming in a sea of online culture where everyone wants to call anyone who might just be an as***le a narcissist, it waters down the real problem and makes it easier for the monster to hide under the bed.

I grew up with a mother that was damaged by the emotionally abusive relationships in her life.

Thankfully she taught me to be stronger than she was. She educated me about the warning signs and red flags of abuse, control and manipulation. Thankfully I actually listened to those life lessons and dodged a few bullets.

Bullets that she was never able to outrun.

Her trauma, her "bullet wounds" that never healed turned into chronic illness in the form of IBS, panic attacks and eventually a form of Parkinson's, leaving her trapped in her body at the end of her life.

Her story and her life inspire me to help other people heal in the ways she was unable.

This Wednesday I have the profound honor of joining the Phoenix Rising Summit hosted by my friend Cheryl L Wright, who wrote the book Swimming with Alligators: how to recognize narcissistic abuse, break unhealthy bonds, and unlock true empowerment.

This isn’t just another online event. It’s a chance to hear stories of resilience, get practical tools for healing, and connect with a community that understands what it means to rise from the ashes.

If you or someone you know is struggling with overcoming the trauma that comes from unhealthy and abusive relationships, please come and join us, or send the link to join to your friend.

Learn from the amazing speakers at this event, allow yourself to receive the hand that is being offered to you so that you can rise from the ashes.

Together we rise.

“If you had the cure for cancer, wouldn’t you make sure everyone who had cancer knew about it?”

This is a common question that is posed by business and sales coaches, encouraging entrepreneurs and coaches to shed the shame and fear of marketing themselves and their products.

I hate this question.

It’s such an extreme example to make a point.

Yes, a lot of coaches (myself included) have skills and programs that could change the lives of many people.

But we’re not out here curing cancer.

I am here to help people, yes. I am here to teach people, yes.

But am I saving lives?

I have had clients tell me I have helped them to change their lives, and this is what I am most proud of.

I teach people how to help themselves. Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for life.

On a personal level, it becomes a wobbly interlude to “claim my results” when I am here to empower people to help themselves.

When someone helps themself, that is not my result, it is theirs.

Claiming the title of “healer” feels like wearing a sash that I didn’t win. In massage school my teachers taught me humility and to understand that I am not the one doing the healing, I am merely creating space for the body to heal itself.

In the time since I have left massage school, I have learned how to translate that skill beyond the scope of physical touch on the massage table.

The idea that I am not the one doing the healing, that I am merely the one helping to facilitate the creation of space within the body - so that the body can heal itself, becomes even stronger and more tangible - ironically, using modalities that are not at all tangible.

I have been accused of sharing "a lot of pseudoscience" - that it hasn't been proven in a lab multiple times with double blind yada yada *cue the eyeroll* and therefore must be a "bunch of hooey"

Here's the thing: you can prove anything in a lab, right or wrong, with confirmation bias.

So I personally don't need "scientific proof" that energy healing works, when I have seen firsthand as well as have read 100's of stories about people's experiences, to know that this "pseudoscience" is true and real.

And interestingly enough, science is starting to prove more and more every day that what has been thought of as "pseudo" is actually real and true.

So no, I am not curing cancer, I am not saving lives. I am creating space for the body to heal from within by teaching you how to clear and release trapped energies and emotions that create dissonance on the energetic plane of the body that creates chronic pain and disease.

As Dr Bradley Nelson, founder of the Emotion Code states, it's better to NOT know what we are preventing, than to reverse a debilitating disease.

I am a huge proponent of the idea that when we better understand how our body works, we can turn on its natural healing capabilities.

But what happens when we don’t know how our bodies work?

We stay stuck in patterns of illness and pain.

We stay stuck in self sabotage. We stay stuck in a victim mentality.

If we don’t know where the cliff is, we are more apt to walk off of it.

Over the course of the last several weeks I have had a huge shift in my understanding and awareness of how I operate in the world.

In the next few days, I will be sharing more about my journey and how this informs the work that I do.
