Tomorrow I turn 51.

This year started with a medicine ceremony. So I should've known it would be a wild year, and holy hell, has it ever.

My mother passed. We added a new dog. My daughter and I went to the UK. October was lit, not the least of which was me landing in the ER. And then November came in like a Cat 6 hurricane—one of my kids needed emergency surgery, and a week after she got home, my English Mastiff Kali also went under the knife in a critical situation. In between, the septic tank gave out ("Sh*tter's full" keeps reverberating in my head—probably a little nod from my late husband 😉😂), and the heat went out.

Everyone's doing well now, thanks to very talented surgeons, human and animal alike. The sh*tter's empty. The heat's restored.

It's been wild.

But through all of that, two things emerged:

First—I navigated it grounded. Not perfectly, but pretty damn close, even when my head wanted to swim. Seven years ago, that wouldn't have been possible. Hell, two years ago it wouldn't have been possible. That's not nothing.

And second—I finished what I set out to do this year: make my lifelong dream of writing a book a reality.

I fu***ng did it.

"The Intersection of You and Me: A Guide to the Space Between" is 126,000 words about the work that made navigating this year possible. Learning to hold space—for ourselves first, then for others, then for what is created together. Shadow work, nervous system regulation, boundaries as compassion. The messy, unglamorous truth about staying present when life is trying to take you out.

No spiritual bypass. No Instagram positivity. Just honest exploration of the work that actually changes things.

The book won't be out until 2026, but I want to honor what my 50th circle around the sun has brought. This is happening.

If you want to follow along, I created . I'll be sharing excerpts, concepts, practices, and behind-the-scenes as I bring this into the world.

This is what 51 looks like for me: claiming what I've always wanted. Building something that matters. Doing the work I came here to do.

Even when the sh*tter's full and the heat's out.

Here we go! 🥳😵‍💫🙃😂

Things I Wish I’d Known Sooner (on my spiritual journey) 🌿

No one can heal us but ourselves.

If we want to heal deeply, we need to start with our nervous system.

Healing is embodiment—uncomfortable, subtle, and gradual. Mental knowing isn’t enough, and forcing it fails.

The simplest teachings can be the hardest for us to live.

See through the innocent eyes and speak through the simple, unfiltered language of a child.

Our ego is sly, but when healed, it’s a rockstar at spotting disharmony and misalignment. Spirituality isn’t about ETs or Atlantis—it’s about healing our shadows to be our best selves.

Our Spirit Guides aren’t always gentle; they practice tough love to push us toward growth.

Challenges blend beauty and brutality—they don’t mean bad karma but open doors to growth. Embrace the paradox.

Being deeply spiritual is being human in a flawed world. Go out in it and let it show you where your wounds lie.

Our kids, partners, and parents are our greatest teachers.

The ways people hurt us have less to do with us and more to do with their own wounds. Don't take it personally.

Forgiveness frees us, not them.

The pinnacle includes love, but it exists only within authenticity.

Truth isn’t always soft, and comfort isn’t always good—some of the best lessons feel brutal but lead us to our greatest potential.

Let’s ditch “should” and “need to”—they slow us down. We get to choose our path.

Saying “no” and letting go are two of the hardest things to do; but they are the most worthwhile.

We spend 90% of our time making things harder than they need to be and 10% avoiding what must be done. Let’s spend the effort of the 90% on the 10%.

Time may heal all wounds, but time isn’t guaranteed. Fix what needs fixing—now.

Our path is ours alone—let’s own it.

What’s one thing you wish you’d known sooner? Share below!

🌺 Deepening Ho’oponopono: From Mantra to Heartfelt Ownership 🌺

Ho’oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and "making right," holds such wisdom for healing. Born from Polynesian traditions, it once brought families together to openly confess, make amends, and release resentment through mutual forgiveness. Today, many know its modern form, thanks to Morrnah Simeona: the simple mantra, "I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you."

This simplicity is powerful, especially when starting out—it creates space for healing without pressure or overwhelm. But when - or if - it feels safe, we can deepen it, inspired by its communal roots. By adding specific, heartfelt details, we move beyond ego-driven spirituality and into true integrity. If we’ve caused hurt, naming it with compassion—like, “I’m sorry my impatience led to words that stung,” or “Thank you for showing me where I can grow in presence”—grounds us in ownership and deepens our self-connection.

Following is an example of this gentle deepening. Remember to go at your own pace, perhaps in a journal or meditation, and honor what you have space for.

💕 I'm sorry for letting stress guide my actions over love.

💕 Please forgive me for not honoring our shared respect.

💕 Thank you for reflecting where I can live more in alignment.

💕 I love you and cherish our journey together.

This isn’t about guilt—it’s about heart-centered growth. By deepening beyond performative, ego-driven patterns, we begin to better see where, how, and why we have particular behaviors playing out. Stay kind to yourself, and only deepen when it feels right.

And remember, you can also turn this practice inward, offering these words to yourself with kindness to heal and nurture your own heart.

What’s your experience with Ho’oponopono? Drop a thought below! 💖

Things are turbulent in the world right now. With all the chaos swirling around us, and maybe even IN us, it’s the NERVOUS SYSTEM that really takes the brunt. 🌪️

A dysregulated nervous system can manifest as:
• Poor Sleep
• Sluggish Digestion
• Poor Focus or Lack of Motivation
• Mood Swings
• A Feeling of Disconnection or Isolation
• Feelings of Overwhelm
• Chronic Pain or other Health Issues
We’re not supposed to live this way! 🚫

If you feel like you’re struggling to find calm amidst the storm, I invite you to check out my new 6-week online course called Build Your Roots. 🌱 In this course, we’ll explore the nervous system, develop awareness of its state and our capacity, and explore various breathwork and somatic techniques that can bring us back to a place of calm and centeredness.

THIS is the foundation we need to reach our full, radiant potential!

🗓️ It starts in just 1 WEEK, on Sep 21st. Will you join us?

How are you doing? Are you navigating these wild energies okay?

If you feel like you’ve been particularly “in it,” and maybe not just for weeks, but months, even years, you might be moving through a “Second Phase of Awakening.”

Spirit tells me that in 2027, the number of people moving through their first awakenings will increase dramatically. Because this process can feel so destabilizing, Spirit is bringing the “First Wave of Helpers” online now, in preparation for this upcoming cycle of mass awakenings. These helpers will be tasked, predominately, with holding safe, sacred space for the masses of people that will be navigating their own transformational experiences.

So, if you’re feeling these energies, and if you also have a resonance for one of the many Healer archetypes or you have a deep desire to be of service to humanity, then you may be going through this second phase of awakening. This phase is quite different than the first phase of awakening each of us individually went through. Now, collectively, we seem to be experiencing these two key aspects:

1. You might be experiencing an audit or life review of some type. Or, you may be having experiences, sometimes intense, that are showing you where you have work remaining. By work, we’re talking about shadow, unhealed and unintegrated wounds and trauma, limiting beliefs or conditioned patterns. It might even show work in the ancestral realms. Now, this by no means indicates that you haven’t done enough to this point; each of us has already carried ourselves through a great deal of healing work. And – it does not mean the work must be completed by 2027. However, with awareness of these places, we can more consciously and effectively navigate our role as space-holders moving forward.

2. There is enormous pressure on us to develop our process through this work, and embody that process into a robust practice. The best starting point – the best foundation – to do this work starts from a grounded center, with calm and peace radiating through our bodies. From this place we can see clearly, and our hearts can open with presence, curiosity, and love. It is the starting point to all work, whether that’s continued deepening work interiorly, or holding sacred space for another.

So, if you’re feeling challenged by this period, or maybe struggling to develop your own process and take that deeply into practice, then I’d like to invite you to my course, The Integrated Path to Awakening. This 27-class course is divided into three modules:

• Build Your Roots (6 weeks) – Starts on Sep 21st! We’ll get intimately familiar with our nervous system, deepen our ability to sense when we’re reaching capacity, and develop our process for grounding and centering.

• Ignite Your Light (12 weeks) – Starts Nov 9th. We’ll start to work with our interior; shadow work, limiting beliefs, conditioned patterns, unhealed wounds and unintegrated trauma through advanced breathwork and somatic techniques, as well as shamanic journeying. We’ll continue our process of grounding and centering, deepening it into a reflexive practice.

• Rise as a Veyrin; a radiant space holder for others (9 weeks) – Starts Mar 8. We’ll explore the best ways to hold the sacred container for others in their transformational processes. How do we stand in integrity, authenticity, and hold space that is safe, loving, and supportive.

If this resonates for you, I invite you to visit rowan-wellness/spark for more information. I hope you’ll join us! ✨🤍✨

Alright, friend, let’s sit down together and talk about this wild ride we’re on. 🎢 If you’re feeling like the world’s moving too fast, your energy’s all over the place, or even your closest relationships are shifting under your feet, I’m right there with you. Spirit tells me some — perhaps many or even all of us — are in a “Collective Second Awakening.” It doesn’t matter when your first awakening was or how it looked, and it doesn’t matter how many dark nights of the soul you’ve had since — many of us now seem to be moving together through a phase that’s deepening, releasing, and weaving. And while that’s beautiful, it’s been a challenge, too. (It’s no small thing when vast numbers of medicine holders go through a thing together; when everyone’s “in it,” who’s there to help and support? We are being tasked to hold ourselves, and others — and it’s challenging!)

So, what’s this second awakening feeling like for us? From what I’m seeing (and feeling myself), here’s the pulse of it:

• Time’s gone weird—racing one day, dragging the next, with this subtle “off” vibe in the outer world. Like reality’s glitching, but in a synchronistic way.

• Our energy, moods, sleep—they’re all over the place. One minute you’re buzzing, the next you’re bone-tired or wired with heart flutters and vivid dreams.

• The inner work’s getting deep. Patterns in our lives are clearer, like puzzle pieces clicking. We’re facing shadows head-on, embracing both/and thinking, and leaning into heart practices like Ho’oponopono to stay steady.

• The outer world’s a slog—plans take triple the effort—but the inner world? It’s vivid, clear, like intuition’s on speed dial.

• Relationships are shifting hard. Many are reporting connections evolving or dissolving — or igniting!

• There’s a stronger sense of self, like we’re finally hearing our inner needs. For me, it’s meant hermit mode—less tech, less socializing, more quiet.

(Case in point? I’ve written a dozen posts over the last week and haven’t posted them, and this one took me ALL DAY LONG. 🫣)

This isn’t like the first awakening—that was more expansive, like a lightning bolt illuminating new potential, new information. This one’s potent, too, but deeper, like we’re refining ourselves all the way to the core. I have, many times, felt as if I’m a Rubix’s cube; my core is steady, but the outer layers are revolving rapidly, revealing different patterns and depths, before spinning again to show something new.

It’s a lot, right? I’ve had moments wondering if I’d have picked an easier path if I’d known. 😅 But grounding—coming back to my center when it gets turbulent—has been my lifeline. It’s like trading a bumpy wagon for a smooth-(ish) train ride. If this speaks to you, know you’re doing sacred work just by showing up and I’m profoundly grateful for the work you do. 🙏 Want to explore grounding together? My course, Build Your Roots, starts Sept 21st—it’s about anchoring your energy and aligning with your nervous system. Check rowan-wellness.com/spark if it calls you.

What’s this second wave stirring in you? 🌿💖

Our nervous systems were never built to exist in the world as it is today. We’re bombarded 24/7 with stimulus.

And if you’re on a path of healing, all that – noise – makes it even more challenging.

Because, at some point, something has to give . . .

The nervous system is the gateway to all experiences, to all guidance, to all healing. It’s the door you’ve been searching for.

Join us on Sep 7 @ 12pm EST for a free online introductory class; Taste the Path. This is the kick-off event for The Integrated Path to Awakening, a course designed to help you pass through that doorway – to deeper integration and healing; to a more peaceful, calm presence. It’s the doorway that leads you to yourself.

Register @ rowan-wellness.com/spark. The event will be recorded and sent, along with a 55-page workbook, to all registered participants. ✨🤍✨

In my practice, I work with many healers. One thing sets one healer apart from another. It isn’t the modality practiced or the training completed. It isn’t reiki vs breathwork, yoga vs sound healing. Those are just tools—effective, yes, but still tools.

The real medicine comes from within the practitioner. How regulated is their nervous system? Do they listen to its whispers? How aware are they of their shadows—those places that can obscure clear sight and action? How integral are they, how authentic?

A healer can only show up for another to the degree they can sit with themselves. Can they sit within their own wounds, shadows, and constrictive spaces—compassionately, steady, and grounded? Can they embrace their own pain and fear? It’s not only about going up. Expansive states are easy. It’s the difficult, tight places a healer must navigate.

If you’re a healer, or feel called to be one, The Integrated Path to Awakening may be for you. No course will “make you a healer,” but this course provides a stable foundation for your journey.

In Build Your Roots (6 wks), we learn the language of our nervous system, the best navigator in this work. We’ll explore key breathwork and somatic exercises to assess and expand our inner capacity through grounding.

In Ignite Your Light (12 wks), we continue using the nervous system as our guide to go within—safely, within our capacity—to explore areas holding deep wisdom and gifts. These powerful gifts are often encased within our shadows and wounds, so we work with tender curiosity to uncover what’s hidden. We’ll use advanced breathwork, somatic techniques, and shamanic journeying.

In Rise as a Veyrin (9 wks), we explore how to bring these gifts to the world. How do we show up as a compassionate, grounded guide with this new, regulated self? How do we gently help others unlock their gifts? We’ll define what it means to be a Veyrin—a compassionate space-holder for others.

If this resonates, join our free Taste the Path event on Sep 7 at 12 PM EST to decide if this course is for you. I hope you’ll join us. 🥰

The longer I do this work, the deeper I go, the more I realize that the most profound insights are often ridiculously simple. I can trudge through shadows and complexity only to arrive most often at this - there's a plan, there's a purpose - and there are no "mistakes." Everything serves the journey. We don't need to know precisely why, or what it all means.

If we can walk with groundedness and trust, speak with truth, and keep our heart open, then that's basically all there is. All the rest arrives at our doorstep in due time.

Easy-peasy, right? 😅

🌿 On the spiritual path, we yearn to see beyond the veil—beauty, love, connection, unity. Whatever the teachings awaken in us, that’s what we chase, whispering, "Show me!" But too often, we crave only the light, shying away from the shadows we must face first.

I read a story about a man blind since birth due to a congenital issue, who tried a psychedelic for the first time. His eyes, usually shut, flew open; he dropped to his knees, weeping. All he could say was "beautiful." No preconceptions, no filters from a lifetime of "seeing" the world a certain way—his experience was pure, unadulterated beauty. But for most of us, layering beliefs and patterns since childhood, the veil doesn’t lift so cleanly. Shadows come first—guardians at the gate, the unintegrated parts of self we’ve disowned to survive. In Jungian terms, they’re not enemies; they whisper, "Integrate me, and you’ll see the beauty beyond."

Curious, I asked: Where am I blind? I wanted that vision—the profound bliss. But what came? Shadows everywhere. Places where my "sight" was incomplete, forming false patterns, beliefs, distortions. Like floaters in the eye, obscuring the view. "Show me what I’m not seeing"—bam, shadows. "Show me what I’m not experiencing"—each one blocking a radiant moment.

Why aren’t our experiences always beautiful? Because we must dive into those shadows, seeing them on all levels—through meditation, breathwork, or plant medicines—to undo their illusions.

In my trance, the "medicine" showed me a map, tying sight to the chakras for a layered approach:

Crown: Queuing the shadow—the cosmic call to face it.

Third Eye: Witness it intuitively, seeing its shape without filters.

Throat: Voice its story—uncover the origins, the why behind the blind spot.

Heart: Hold it with compassion, embracing a scared part of yourself.

Solar Plexus: Respect its power—honor how it protected you, even if it’s time to release.

Sacral: Step into role reversal—see from the "other" perspective, feel the emotional flow between "she and I."

Root: Initiate it back into your tribe of self—ground it, welcome it home to wholeness.

This work demands grounding in the lower chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus)—the physical, embodied ones. Shadows integrate through the body, felt somatically, without the mind’s grip. But for the ego to soften, to rest in safety? That’s a steep journey, no small feat. It takes a regulated nervous system, built through consistent somatic practice—breath, movement, touch—creating safety to explore even the darkest corners. Over time, those floaters clear, parting the veil for beauty to shine through consistently.

Ready to integrate your shadows and calm the ego, so you can truly experience the beauty you seek? Join The Integrated Path to Awakening, starting Sep 21 at rowan-wellness.com/spark. 🌱

What shadows are calling you today? Let’s sit with them, heart open, body grounded. 💫

The Sacrifice and the Surrender

As I reflect on my journey, I see moments of clarity where the pieces of my life come together like a puzzle being built in real time. We enter this world with a "frame"—a unique blueprint for our soul's growth. Experiences then shape the "pieces" that fit into this frame, crafted dynamically, often with multiple pieces forming at once. Sometimes, a piece doesn't quite fit and needs reshaping. This process, guided by a divine intelligence, determines which experiences will best form the next piece. Unlike the linear, step-by-step processes we often use in human endeavors, this soul-building is more like a living ecosystem—constantly shifting, growing, adapting, and spiraling. This complexity can make it hard for us to co-create with ourselves and our planet, as the unawakened mind struggles to grasp the intricate dance unfolding within us. Because of this, we might mistakenly believe we have no influence over it.

Yet, we do influence it—constantly. Every emotion and every experience shapes this puzzle. Our shadows—those hidden, survival-driven parts of our subconscious, such as limiting beliefs, conditioned patterns, or unhealed wounds—add turbulence to the process. Imagine trying to assemble a puzzle on a vibrating plate, where the shaking distorts the fit. These shadows disrupt the clarity and alignment of our growth.

This perspective shows why addressing our shadows is essential if we want our puzzle to come alive. But here's the challenge: shadows aren't random. They were born to protect something sacred within us during vulnerable times. They're like defenses we crafted through our ego, ingeniously shielding parts of our soul. Letting them go requires a sacrifice because, like a child we've nurtured, we're deeply attached to them. Whether it's a human child, a piece of art, or a home we've built, anything we birth carries our love and attachment. Shadows are no different—they started as subconscious ideas, developed, and took form to serve us. Releasing them is like telling a devoted guardian, "Thank you for your incredible work. You've protected me when I needed it most. But now, I've grown, and I'm capable. Your role can shift. Let's stay connected—I'll check in, perhaps over coffee or tea, to see how things are going. But for now, I need to let you rest."

This sacrifice is hard because letting go doesn't come easily. We cling to what's familiar, even when it no longer serves us. But if we step back and see the broader picture—the forest for the trees—we realize this puzzle has its own intelligent process. We can't control it, nor do we need to. The best approach is to stop resisting its natural unfolding.

Will some pieces feel painful or challenging? Absolutely. A vibrant, clear puzzle requires reworking and refining. The wisest path is to accept the sacrifice—retiring pieces that no longer fit and letting them return to the kiln for reshaping. Surrender the need to control and take the puzzle off the vibrating plate that makes growth harder than it needs to be. In this surrender, we find freedom to co-create a life that's luminous, aligned, and whole.
