That’s what coaching helps you do.

It’s not about avoiding difficult thoughts, feelings, or sensations—it’s about learning how to interact with them.

Not being swept away by panic or overwhelm

Not pushing feelings away or ignoring your body

But noticing, naming, and moving with what’s present

Coaching gives you tools and guidance to meet your inner experience with curiosity, safety, and choice—so the unknown stops feeling like a threat and starts feeling like a place for growth.

Discomfort is inevitable. For many, we’ve learned discomfort meant “stop, don’t go there, hit reverse, BYEEEE!” Trauma recovery, we actually need to face discomfort and learn how to navigate so we don’t stay stuck in the same loop. So proud of this coaching client for facing so many discomforts and seeing more choices in their life!

Because even when you know better, your body still remembers what once felt safe — even if it was chaos, numbing, overworking, hurting oneself, or disconnecting.

That’s why trauma and chronic stress coaching isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about understanding your patterns, honoring how they once protected you, and teaching your nervous system that safety, rest, and connection can feel familiar too.

We don’t shame the coping skills — we get curious about them. And through that curiosity, your system learns new ways to feel safe without needing to burn everything down. This happens in sessions and especially between sessions when old coping skills start creeping in.

You took the blame to keep the love.
Because losing connection felt more dangerous than losing yourself.

That’s what trauma does — it teaches us that safety lives in pleasing, fixing, or absorbing the pain of others.
But healing?

Healing is remembering that love doesn’t require you to carry what was never yours. Healing is taking responsibility for our emotions, our self-talk, our behaviors.

Have you been keeping the shame? Tap ❤️

“I’m not the monk on the mountain — I’m in the trenches with you.”

This quote by hit me years ago and has shaped how I show up as a trauma-informed provider.

Healing isn’t about someone fixing you. It’s about being met in your humanity — your messy, beautiful, complicated story — and learning to navigate it together.

The connection between provider and client is everything.

You don’t need someone on a pedestal telling you what to do. You need someone who gets it — who’s done their own work, who can hold your story with care, and who knows what it’s like to walk through the fire and keep going.

Why affirmations fall flat (and what to do instead):
Your survival system hears “I am safe” and says, “No, we’re not.”
You’re using affirmations to bypass discomfort rather than befriend it.
Affirmations need to be co-regulated with your body, not repeated from your head.
Try starting smaller:
✨ “I’m open to the idea that safety is possible.”
✨ “I’m learning to believe new things about myself.”

Truly they will be what they be…. I also want to be an influence of interdependence. We can stand our own ground and find comfort & peace in connection.❤️

Anyone else out there feel this?

A LITTLE BIT LOUDER NOW….. more, more, MORE!

Practicing emotional regulation isn’t about shutting down.

It’s about remembering you can stay connected through emotion — even the high-energy ones you were taught were “too much” or “bad.”

You’re not broken for feeling deeply. You’re learning that intensity doesn’t have to mean danger.together we learn how to navigate all the emotions.

Express yourself!

Not only am I a childhood trauma survivor—
I’m someone who’s spent years doing the work to understand, heal, and reconnect.

I went to school for Holistic Counseling.
I studied the science behind trauma recovery.
I’ve trained in countless modalities.
And I’ve spent over a decade sitting with others as they reclaim their own safety, voice, and power.

This isn’t just my work. It’s my life’s integration—lived, studied, embodied, and shared.

I don’t know about you (yet), the holidays hold some difficult memories that impact my mind-body.

For me, the holidays growing up with a mother who was mentally ill meant lots of yelling, a mother leaving for a few days with no idea if she was going to return, and ambulance & police. (I remember when I was 11/12 screaming at the cop who was asking me questions, “why can’t we just be a normal family!!” As my mother was telling the cop how bad us kids were… I don’t know… maybe when the fear of “I am bad” started??)

NOW, I’m seeing I can make my own traditions with family & friends. Instead of going into a deep depression and not experiencing holiday events, I now intentionally explore the “holiday cheer”. The old thoughts & feelings still pop up… a dark humorous joke with my sister (I’m taking the cheesecake!!!) will occur… AND now as a mom.. I get to show her the magic of the holiday season. Let her mind and body FEEL the magic. Such a freakin gift (cheesy… I know).

Do you find yourself in a deep funk and disconnected during the the holiday season? Let’s chat so you have more choice in how you want to experience this season AND life. ❤️
