Hi Friends,
I’m inviting you to a free live session on Insight Timer on January 7 at 7:00 PM (CT).
This 45-minute live gives you an opportunity to experience the calming effects of the Heal What Hurts practice; a gentle, body-based way of releasingn emotional stress and reactivity through breath, awareness, and presence.
During this live session, we’ll soften the emotional patterns and contractions that show up in the body, why we tend to react the way we do under stress, and how learning to stay compassionately present with sensation can soften long-held habits of reactivity.
The session is experiential, healing, accessible, and grounding.
No fixing. No forcing. Lovingly learning how to listen inwardly and respond with more presence and compassion.
The live is free to attend.
Insight Timer offers an optional donation feature during live events for those who wish to support the work. You’re equally welcome to simply come and receive.

I’m offering a free live session on Insight Timer on January 15 at 7:00 PM (CT).

This is a 45-minute introduction to the Heal What Hurts practice — a gentle, body-based way of working with emotional triggers through breath and awareness rather than force.

We’ll explore how emotional patterns show up in the body, why we react the way we do under stress, and how to turn toward inner tension with presence and compassion instead of pushing it away.

The session is experiential and accessible.
No fixing. No forcing. Just learning how to listen to the body and respond differently in the moments that matter.

If you’ve been feeling emotionally reactive, tired of repeating the same patterns, or simply wanting a more grounded way to meet what’s arising, you’re warmly welcome.

This meditation gathering is an invitation to soften the mind, release outward striving, and listen for the subtle inner call toward silence. Together, we step into the sacred pause that whispers:

Be still and know the I AM.

I have gotten this question a lot: How did you write a book and get it published?

So I decided to share my process; honestly, imperfectly:

I didn’t sit down and write a book from start to finish. I’m very verbal, so what worked for me was recording my thoughts, teachings, and reflections first… and only later shaping them into something written. That approach may not be right for everyone but it’s what made the project feel possible for me.

If you have a book inside you or any creative project that keeps quietly tapping on your shoulder, I want to encourage you with all my heart to go for it. Creative work doesn’t have to look the way we think it’s supposed to look.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear: are you carrying a book, a project, or an idea that hasn’t fully taken form yet?

A hard truth—and a hopeful one:
Unhealed emotional triggers do get in the way of your full expression.
They limit your freedom, dampen creativity, and keep you reacting instead of living from choice.

The good news:
Emotional triggers can heal. And as they do, something profound opens—more ease, more joy, more clarity, more creative life force.

I’m so excited to invite you into my six-week online Healing Circle, a live, small, intimate group journey on Zoom inspired by my upcoming book, Heal What Hurts.

🌀 Begins Thursday, January 22
🕖 7:00 PM (live on Zoom)
👥 Small, intimate group for deeper connection and support

Together, we’ll move gently and steadily through the core teachings and practices from the book, with space for:
• guided somatic inquiry
• nervous system regulation
• real-time support and reflection
• the slow unwinding of emotional patterns that keep you stuck

This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about learning how to meet what arises in your body and heart—so healing can happen naturally.

If you’re ready to feel more free, grounded, and creatively alive, I would love to walk this path with you.

Fixing your outer life from the inside

At some point in our lives, we come to the realization that our own minds are largely responsible for what we are met with in the world. That our thoughts, feelings, wounds, habits or downright traumas, whether generational or personal, are played out in how we perceive our life circumstances.

With great patience and gentleness, we begin to clear out and cultivate the content of our minds, as well as heal the deep wounds that play out as painful encounters in the exterior world. We gradually learn to pull the projections back inside where we will find the true source of our pain. The stagnant or blocked places in the energy field of the body. When we embrace these inner places with presence and empathy, they gradually seize to show up as unpleasant outer encounters that produce triggered reactions and drama.

This is not a fast-fix process. While the more superficial ripples of the mind may be a easy to quiet down, healing the deeper grooves, in yoga we call the samskaras, will likely be an ongoing process. A process of taking responsiblity for the reactivity that may appear to be caused by external forces. The willingness to feel deeply into the energy field of the body, feeling into the unpleasant feelings that we may well have gone to great lengths to avoid. Greeting these uncomfortable vibrations of anxiety, fear, anger, sadness the way you might greet, acknowledge and even embrace a small scared child.

To give this process a try, please consider trying my Felt Sense meditation which is inspired by Gendlin’s Focusing Technique. This meditation will put you in touch with the places within that are crying for healing. Please thank the outer circumstances, people, events that trigger the emotional discomfort because with out the triggering even, you might not even know that these old energies are operating within you and are calling for healing attention and presence.
