Gross is often sold as a "glow-up" but let's be honest. Sometimes it feels like a breakdown.

Healing requires us to grieve the versions of ourselves that kept us safe for so long, even when the versions that used coping mechanisms we no longer needed. It's uncomfortable to outgrow your old skin. It's quiet, it's heavy, and it's brave.

If you are in the middle space right now, where the old you is gone but the new you hasn't quite arrived yet, take a breath. You are not lost. You are transforming.

This past weekend, Lotus Rising hosted an incredible group of women for our Burnout Prevention workshop. We took a deep dive into the roots of exhaustion and walked away with tangible tools to mitigate burnout in daily life.
The breakthrough moments didn't stop there! We ended the day with a Wellness Hour, connecting our attendees with local resources to support their ongoing self-care journeys. Watching this community prioritize their well-being was truly inspiring.

Why is it that we can be successful, independent adults in every other area of life, but the moment we walk into our parents’ house, we "time travel" back to being 16?

If you find yourself falling into the same old arguments with your siblings or walking on eggshells around your parents, you aren’t alone. Adult family dynamics are deeply lived-in, and it is easy to get stuck in childhood roles even decades later.

Whether your family is navigating a recent falling out over politics, long-standing sibling friction, or unresolved hurt from the past, we are here to help you break the cycle.

Lotus Rising LLC is officially offering Adult Family Therapy using Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). We help families in St. Louis and across Missouri move past the "blame game" and start communicating as the adults they are today.

Our services include:

- In-Person Sessions: Join us at our St. Louis office.

- Telehealth: Virtual sessions available for families located anywhere in Missouri.

You have outgrown your childhood bedroom. It is time to outgrow the childhood conflict, too.

If sleep was going to fix it, you’d feel better by now. 😴
Burnout isn't just about needing a nap. It’s a sign that your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. We spend so much time trying to "soothe" the stress with temporary fixes, rather than "solving" the root cause.
On March 7th, we are going deep on the solving part.
Join me for "From Exhaustion to Empowerment," a 2-hour interactive workshop designed to help you set boundaries, reset your system, and reclaim your energy.
✨ THE BONUS: The Wellness Hour ✨
Recovery is mental and physical. That’s why I’ve partnered with my favorite local experts to host an exclusive Wellness Hour immediately following the workshop.

Get the tools for your mind, then stay to treat your body:

🦴 Precision Chiropractic Complimentary spinal scans to visualize your tension.

💉 Ignite Performance: B-12 shots for an immediate energy boost.

🧖‍♀️ The Tox Laurie Robinson: Mini facials to de-puff and flow.

This is the total reset you’ve been waiting for.
Tickets are on sale now at the Early Bird rate using the code Lotus. Grab yours here:

2025 was my year of Centeredness.

I’ve always been a multi-passionate person. I loved my Etsy shop and I truly enjoyed the conversations on my podcast. They were pieces of me, but I realized they were taking pieces of me, too.

I didn’t have the time to give them the devotion they deserved, and more importantly, they were detracting from my ultimate vision: creating a dedicated sanctuary of healing for this community.

To grow, I had to return to my center.

I chose to set an Intention rather than a list of rigid goals. Goals are often about "hitting a number" or "checking a box," which can feel restrictive and lead to shame if life gets in the way.

But Intentions? They are about a way of being.

By setting the intention of Centeredness, I allowed myself the grace to pivot. I stopped doing "all the things" so I could do the right things. That shift in energy is exactly what created the space to welcome Madaleine to the Lotus Rising team!

Looking ahead to 2026... I am carrying that same intentional energy into a new word: MASTERY.

This year isn’t about just "doing more." It’s about deepening our impact and refining our mission. In 2026, we are:
✅ Growing the Practice: Expanding our team to hold more space for you.
✅ Mastering Culture: Bringing the Lotus Rising mission into the corporate world to help organizations heal from the top down.
✅ Gathering: Hosting deep-dive workshops—including our first one on March 7th!

Now, I want to hear from you. If you trade "rigid goals" for "flowing intentions" this year, what word comes to mind for you? Are you looking for Expansion, Softness, or your own version of Mastery?

"But I'm still getting everything done."

I hear this constantly in my office. We think that because the laundry is folded, the emails are sent, and the kids are fed, we can't possibly be burnt out.

This is called High-Functioning Burnout. Your external world looks perfect, but your internal world is running on fumes.

Functioning is not the same thing as thriving. You deserve to do more than just "get through" the day.

If you are ready to make a change, tickets for the "From Exhaustion to Empowerment" workshop are officially open.

We often use the words "stressed" and "burnt out" interchangeably, but they feel very different in the body.

Stress is usually characterized by too much. Too much pressure, too much to do, too much adrenaline. You are anxious, but you are still trying.

Burnout is characterized by not enough. Not enough motivation, not enough emotion, not enough caring. You feel empty, detached, or cynical.

If you have moved from "panicked" to "numb," your nervous system is asking for help.

We are going to be talking about how to reverse this cycle in my upcoming workshop. https://lotusrising-llc.com/workshops-conquering-burnout/

We often confuse being tired with being burnt out. But there is a difference.

Sleep fixes tiredness. Sleep does not fix burnout.

If you are waking up after 8 hours of rest but still feeling drained, heavy, or cynical about your day, your nervous system might be stuck in survival mode.

In my upcoming workshop, we talk about the "Early Warning Signs" that most of us miss until it is too late.

Save this post if you need a reminder to check in with yourself today. 🌿

I’m doing something a little different for this upcoming workshop.

Before I open ticket sales to the general public, and before any partner discounts go live, I want to say thank you to my core community.

I am releasing a limited block of tickets at the absolute lowest price exclusively to my email subscribers. This rate will not be posted on social media.

If you want in on the secret sale, you need to be on the list.

The email will go out this weekend with the exclusive offer.

Becoming a Better Self

I have an bachelors in Psychology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at University Missouri St. Louis (UMSL).

I have worked in an inpatient drugs and alcohol rehab and as a Community Support Specialist. These experiences have taught me how things are connected and how when one part of our lives are suffering it can seep into others.

I enjoy working with people who are having difficulties in their relationship, dating life and divorce. As a counselor I want to find your strengths and empower you to a better self. I want to help you decided what’s worth staying for and what isn’t.

I am currently a counselor at Diversity Health and Wellness Center in Kirkwood. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and use it along with other therapy styles that fit your needs.
