✨ A Seat at My Circle ✨
I have been looking outside of myself
for peace,
passion,
safety,
security,
belonging,
love.
Parts of me that I’ve always struggled with—
Feeling alone: “no one understands.”
Feeling unworthy: “I don’t deserve.”
Feeling shame: “I’m too much / not enough.”
Feeling broken: “something is wrong with me.”
Deep, young, vulnerable parts of me…
that have real needs,
that have big feelings,
that weren’t always seen, met, acknowledged, or safe.
These parts of me that I still carry—
hold deep pain,
deep wounds,
deep hurt.
But also,
deep medicine
and deep wisdom.
What I am now learning—again and again—is how to go within and sit with myself.
To sit with all of me:
The younger me.
The older me.
The silly me.
The serious me.
The outgoing, confident me.
The quiet, shy, sensitive, uncertain me.
The powerful me.
The heavy, sad, anxious me.
The strong, sexy me.
I’m learning they all deserve a seat at the table—
or in my case, a seat in the circle.
Because when I close my eyes, it’s not a table I see…
it’s a sacred circle deep in the woods, where I carry the torch of truth
and call each part of me home—
from the shadows, from every corner of my story—
To gather and be Seen,
Be heard.
Be witnessed and acknowledged
Together, in the light.
I don’t need to fix any of them, heal them, or change them.
I also don’t need to indulge them, agree with them, or let them be in charge.
Yet I’m learning that if I try to ignore or suppress them…
they start acting out to be heard.
Sometimes they let me know through my body.
Sometimes through my choices.
Sometimes through the absence of choices I’m making.
Sometimes through the condition of my thoughts.
So what I am beginning today is a new practice:
✨ My own monthly Sacred Self Circle. ✨
A gathering where I invite each and every one of my parts to have a permanent seat in my circle.
To share their voice, their truth, their perspective, their needs—
and for me to simply listen, observe, and witness.
To do my best to understand, to accept, to remain open, grounded, and curious.
To get to know each of them just as they are.
And to make a commitment to be a better parent to all of me.
I decided not to have children in this life, in part because I could sense that one of my greatest and deepest life purposes would be to reparent myself—and to help others do the same.
We are each on our own healing journey:
to know, understand, and honor ourselves better.
Learning what our needs are, how to meet them, how to cope, how to ask, to make requests, to express ourselves, to give, to receive, to say yes to more of what we want, and to say no with firmness and compassion.
To make choices.
To navigate relationships.
To ADULT.
And damn, can it be tough sometimes—because what they don’t tell us is, you never get a day off!
(Hats off right now to all parents btw—and especially single parents. You are champions!)
I know how hard this can be—how heavy, confusing, and scary it can feel to navigate our way in the world… to simply be human.
So, I am creating spaces.
Spaces that are safe for all of you to show up.
Spaces for you to be seen, heard, and held.
Spaces for you to be witnessed and offered the tools, support, encouragement, and safety to soften and simply be.
Spaces where no one is trying to change you, fix you, or give you advice—
but simply acknowledge you, see you, and hold you in your knowing and wisdom.
With a trust that all you need, wherever you are in life, is already within you.
You simply need a safe space to come to the circle,
to hear yourself,
to feel yourself,
to find your way.
Because from here—
from presence, not perfection;
not trying harder,
but simply being—
is where the shifts begin to happen.
Where your relationship patterns start to shift.
Where your mental health begins to find relief.
Where your inner doubt and uncertainty grow quieter.
Where your overwhelmed self finds more support.
Where the parts of you that feel disconnected start to come online and feel alive again.
✨ It all starts within. ✨
So, if you are a woman navigating your own challenges in life—
looking for the structure of a safe place to hold you
and help you make more aligned choices in your life—
I am holding your seat in the circle-& I won’t stop.
Right now:
I have four spaces left in my offering:
💗 Big Heart, Strong Boundaries —
a six-week Sacred Circle meets Coaching Journey,
where live connection, shared ritual, and sisterhood merge with practical tools and embodied learning.
Each week, we gather in sacred space—lighting candles, sharing truth, supporting one another—and you’ll also receive the structure, practices, and guidance to integrate what you’re learning into your everyday life.
If your heart is saying yes, and you’re finally ready to show up for yourself and take your seat in the circle, DM me.
I’m offering 30-minute calls to see if you belong here.
💫 Early bird registration ends October 15 — save $44.
Registration closes October 21.
Let’s find your seat in the circle. 🕯️🌀
From all my beautifully messy parts
