Blissful Heart Coaching, Santa Fe, NM (2025)

11/21/2025

2025 was the year of external achievements. 2026 is your year of internal integration.

Looking back, here's what this year really taught me about successful women and authentic love:

Your professional superpowers become relationship kryptonite when you use them to avoid vulnerability.

→ Your problem-solving skills turn partners into projects
→ Your independence becomes armor against intimacy
→ Your competence becomes a wall around your heart
→ Your strength becomes a shield against receiving love

This isn't failure. This is self-abandonment.

2026 is your invitation to come home to the woman who can be both strong AND soft, both successful AND surrendered, both competent AND connected.

You don't have to choose between your achievements and your authenticity.

What was your biggest insight about yourself this year? Share below. I'd love to hear your reflection. ⬇️

You spent this year being excellent at everything. Except being honest about what you actually need.

You closed deals, led teams, solved problems. But in relationships? You over-functioned. You managed your partner like a project. You used independence as armor.

This isn’t about your success. This is about self-abandonment.

Every time you over-functioned in a relationship, you abandoned your authentic self. The armor keeping you safe is keeping love out.

What if next year, you stopped managing love and started receiving it?

You don’t have to abandon yourself to be respected at work.
And you don’t have to perform your way into being taken seriously.

Authentic decision-making isn’t loud or dramatic. It’s subtle.
It’s the quiet moment where you pause before answering.
It’s checking in with your values instead of other people’s expectations.
It’s saying the honest thing without the paragraph of justification.
It’s trusting your intuition more than your overthinking.

This is how you shift from performing
to leading yourself.

And when you lead yourself, everything changes: your presence, your boundaries, your confidence, your relationships, your impact.

🩵 If this helped you even a little, share it with another woman who deserves to trust herself more deeply.

You weren’t born dimming your truth.
You were taught to.

Social conditioning works quietly, shaping the way you show up in relationships without you even noticing. It’s the reason you soften your voice and over-explain your needs, hoping it makes you easier to love.

But you can’t build the kind of relationship you desire by performing.

Fallan models a different way.
She’s grounded. Clear. Unapologetically herself.
She trusts that authenticity creates connection, not conflict.

You get to relearn that, too.

You didn’t choose to abandon yourself, you learned to.�In those moments when being accepted felt safer than being real.�When staying in control felt like survival.

But that little girl who once had to trade her truth for safety?�She doesn’t run the show anymore.

It’s time to come home to yourself. 🩵

Ever wondered what happens when you finally let your guard down?

Yesterday, we talked about armor: the invisible protection that keeps us safe, but also keeps love out.

This is what happens when that armor softens.

During our women’s circle, we set up a massage table in the paddock. No agenda. Just curiosity about what might happen.

The horses chose to come closer. To breathe with the women. To attune energetically wherever they sensed tension, emotion, or resistance to softening.

It wasn’t planned or forced. It was a moment of pure energetic alignment, of feeling safe and open.

What you’re seeing here is nervous system regulation in real time: trust, presence, and connection without words.

The horses offered exactly what each woman needed. No performance required. No armor necessary.

🩵 What would it feel like to be met like this? Not for what you do, but for who you are?

The armor that's keeping you safe is keeping love out.

I see this with clients constantly: brilliant women who've mastered independence and success, but their relationships feel exhausting or distant.

You don't disappear in love. You over-function. Coming on too strong, staying emotionally distant, over-analyzing every interaction, choosing partners you can "fix."

Your nervous system learned that vulnerability equals danger, so you reach for what feels familiar: control, analysis, caretaking.

Here's the truth: You're not broken. You're brilliantly protected.

But the armor that served you in your career is suffocating your relationships.

Real intimacy happens when you can be seen without having to be useful. When you can receive love, not just give it. When you can feel instead of fix.

Which armor do you recognize in yourself? The urgency? The distance? The over-analyzing? Ready to learn how to be safe AND open?

“I’ll handle it.”

Three little words that sound responsible, but underneath, they often hide exhaustion, resentment, and quiet self-abandonment.

For years, I thought saying yes to everything made me loving. Helpful. Strong.

But what it really did was disconnect me from myself.

Horses don’t do that.

When Romeo’s done, he simply walks away. No guilt. No explanation. No managing anyone else’s emotions about it.

That’s what healthy boundaries look like, clear, calm, and rooted in self-respect, not control.

You can be loving and boundaried.

Supportive and protective of your energy.

🩵 Tell me, where do you catch yourself taking care of everyone else at the expense of your own energy?

Seven weeks. Countless breakthroughs.

These women showed up with courage, tenderness, and truth.

Together, we unbridled a little more freedom each week.

Here’s to every woman remembering that she was never broken, only bridled. 🩵

For many high-achieving women, performance and achievement were never just goals; they were the currency of love.

“Do it right.”
“Make them proud.”
Keep it together.

That wiring doesn’t disappear in adulthood.

It just shifts from grades and goals to relationships and belonging.

But love that depends on performance can never feel safe.

Horses remind us that presence is enough. 🩵

What message taught you to equate achievement with love?
