18 days ago I joined a content creation challenge

I had barely posted in months…and if I’m really honest, a lot of what I had been posting over the past few years felt stale and flat to me.

I had every good excuse…mom life, business, boundaries, the incredibly overwhelming personal healing journey I went through last year… the list goes on…

but the truth is… I was stuck.

Which is wild, because this community I’ve built over the past 10 years… I love you. I feel so grateful for you. I love writing and sharing. And this platform is also the foundation of my business and main source of my income.

So why did I stop showing up the way I used to?

An old story came back.

I felt like too much… and at the same time, not enough.

What I had gone through felt too raw to keep showing up in. I was scared of sharing too much of my family. I got in my head about the noise and pressure… And Instagram started to feel like an echo chamber that didn’t need my voice anyway.

And most of all… I overwhelmed myself with expectations I didn’t know how to meet.

But underneath all of that… I love this platform. Sharing on here is medicine for my own soul

I’ve also been feeling this quiet whisper for a long time to use my voice in a new way… and the more I ignored it, the more stuck I felt.

(I have a “reintroduction” post sitting in my drafts since November 2024 😂)

So… I got help.

An hour before my friend challenge started, I said yes.

Even knowing I wouldn’t make the live calls. Even knowing it would stretch me (the challenge is called Unhinged and Locked In 😳)

The first few days back… my nervous system went insane. I would shake after hitting post. Some posts took hours. Some days it felt like everything in me wanted to avoid it

But I’ve stayed.

And something has started to shift.

The more I write, the clearer I get. The more I remember why I started in the first place.

I didn’t come here to be an influencer.

My deeper intention is to be someone of positive influence.

And that only happens when I actually use my voice.

I’m definitely a work in progress… aren’t we all?

But this is my truth, and I’m really grateful to be able to share it with you 💗

You don’t need another download.
You don’t need more clarity.
You need to move ⚡️
The thing you’ve been avoiding?
it’s the doorway.

Happy Aries New Moon 🔥

I wake up at 5am, but don’t start work until 11am
I start my day slowly…with my family, movement, meditation, and time in nature

During “work hours” I’m often working out, meditating, getting acupuncture, taking a training,or walking in a botanical garden (I’m a member of 3) 🌸

I’ve built my business around my energy, my family, and my health… not the other way around

When I want to call in more abundance…
I don’t default to strategy
I do an ancient 3 minute meditation that has (on multiple occasions) almost instantly brought in $20k+ in unexpected ways (IYKYK)

I’ve made money by not trying to make money…
sharing brands and products I genuinely love
(and getting paid without even realizing it)

I don’t do cold outreach and I refuse to pressure people into buying. No urgency tactics, no chasing, no guilt.

I don’t take clients who want to stay stuck
I work with people who are ready to move

I ask for radical self responsibility, ownership,
and a willingness to become who they say they want to be

I don’t believe in failure
and I share my most vulnerable moments openly… addiction, sobriety, miscarriage…

not because it’s “good content”
but because it’s true (And I don’t plan my posts in advance)

I don’t name drop my celebrity clients
I don’t chase trends
and I refuse to be everywhere just because I “should” (still not on TikTok)

I’ve supported other healers in building trainings that generate hundreds of thousands…even millions…
even when it could mean their students don’t choose mine

I genuinely hope that my students and mentees succeed even more greatly than me

Because I trust that what’s meant for me… will always be mine

I believe we only get to keep the love, joy, healing and peace we receive… when we give it away

And whats meant to be doesn’t need to be forced or rushed… just appreciated and embodied

This isn’t the “right” way to do business

It’s just my way. And it works!

If this activates something in you…good 😇
But this isn’t a blueprint…it’s an invitation

To trust yourself
To break the rules
To build your own version of abundance…
not just monetarily, but in every sense of the word

And if this resonates, I’d love to walk this path with you

Everything you’re looking for… lies on the other side of trusting yourself 🤍

If I could go back and sit with the version of me from 10 years ago… newly single, newly sober, in a new city, heart cracked open and quietly dreaming of a different life…

I wouldn’t overwhelm her with a plan.

I would take her hands, look into her eyes, and say:

You are not behind.
You are not lost.
You are being redirected into the life that was always meant for you 🤍

I know it feels like everything fell apart.

But what actually happened is that everything that didn’t belong fell away.

Sobriety isn’t taking something from you…
it’s opening the door to everything you’ve been trying to find.

This loneliness?
This uncertainty you feel right now?
This is sacred space. Be with it.
This is where you will meet yourself for real.

Don’t rush to fill it.

Stay here and listen quietly
until you can hear your own voice again.

And if you listen, she will guide you.
Your path will be revealed.
Breadcrumb by breadcrumb.
Just keep following them.

One step at a time.
Go to the meeting.
Work the program.
Find a great therapist.
Say yes to reiki.
Go to the sound bath and introduce yourself to the teacher.
Keep going. Keep healing. Keep growing.

Take steps forward before you feel ready.
Trust what is coming before understand it.
Trust your path before it makes sense.

You don’t need permission.
You don’t need to be fully healed.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to take the next step…
and then the next.

And when the moment comes, you’ll know it’s time. Even though you won’t feel ready.
Don’t take that promotion.
And don’t fight them when they tell you that without accepting the promotion, you’ll no longer have a job.

Buy the bowls.
Play them.
Don’t stop.

And when it gets hard… because it will…

Don’t go back to what numbed you.
Go deeper into what heals you.
Keep playing. Keep healing. Keep growing.

Your sensitivity is not your weakness.
It’s your superpower.

The life you’re dreaming about?
The one where you feel free, fulfilled, in love, doing meaningful work that actually changes lives…

It’s real.

And it’s closer than you think.

You don’t need to figure anything out.
Keep listening. Keep trusting. Keep going 🤍✨

Becoming who I really am has cost me more than I ever expected…

Not in a dramatic way…
but in the quiet, behind the scenes choices and moments of surrender no one really talks about

Getting sober meant finally feeling everything I spent decades trying not to feel.
No numbing. No escaping. Just me…with all of it.
They say the hardest drug of all is sobriety 😂 and I don’t disagree! To stop numbing out, I had to let go of not wanting to feel…and face it all.

Being happily married meant letting go of the parts of me that thought love had to be earned or protected.
Letting myself be seen, fully.
And fully seeing and accepting him.
Letting go of trying to make my partner into anything other than exactly who and how he is.
Letting go of needing to be right, and needing to make him wrong
Choosing Love over fear, over and over again.

Succeeding in business asked me to release the version of me who could hide.
To be visible. To be judged. To show up before I felt ready, even when I was afraid, and to keep going when I felt like I had failed.
To live big, I had to let go of playing small

Becoming a present mother meant letting go of the need to do everything perfectly…
and learning how to just be here
Even when it’s messy
Even when I feel stretched
I had to stop being a martyr and start asking for help
I gave up trying to be perfect to find joy in being present

And the deepest lesson of all…
learning how to hold it all with grace while also letting go
Trusting Gods plan over my plan, and surrendering my will over and over again

I had to let go of the illusion of control and accept what I cannot change, find the courage to change what I can, and trust the wisdom to know the difference

No one really talks about this part of growth
The unraveling. The in-between
The quiet grief of outgrowing your old identity before your new one fully lands

But this is what it takes.

So if it feels hard right now…
if it feels like you’re losing parts of yourself…
if it feels uncomfortable or uncertain or messy or raw…

You’re not doing it wrong

You’re in the process of letting go of what you were never meant to carry… so you can finally become who you are ✨

Playing it safe… is what kills us.

I didn’t find freedom by holding it all together.
I found it by letting it all go
This is where I come back to life 🤍

Having the courage to accept myself and be seen in my truth.

As we step into 2026, I want to begin this year not with big announcements… but with gratitude.

Thank you for walking with me through seasons of expansion and contraction, celebration and grief, visibility and quiet. 

Thank you for your trust, your patience, and your love. I feel it deeply, and I’m so grateful that we are connected 🤍

As The Copper Vessel enters its 10th year, I’m beginning 2026 with a sacred pause.

This winter (now through Spring Equinox), I am taking an intentional sabbatical.

That means:
✨ I will be sharing less publicly
✨ I won’t be hosting open/public events
✨ I will be in a season of restructuring, listening, and recalibrating… tending to my family, my health, and the deeper vision of what wants to be born next

But I’m not disappearing 🤍

During my sabbatical, I will still be showing up intimately inside The Copper Vessel Collective (TCVC)… and that’s where I’m inviting you to join me.

Because this is the truth:
I still want to be in community.
I still want to practice.
I still want to offer medicine.
I just want to do it in a slower, more intentional, more nourished way.

And there’s no better way to begin than with the first Full Moon of the year 🌕

This Sunday, January 4th (tomorrow!) I am hosting a LIVE Full Moon Sound Bath inside TCVC… a sacred ceremony to release what’s complete, reset your nervous system, and open your heart to what’s calling you forward in 2026.

During our gathering, we will:

✨ Ground into presence
✨ Clear your energetic field
✨ Receive angelic frequencies of peace + renewal
✨ Set intentions from truth, not pressure
✨ Relax and allow sound guide you back to center

If you’ve been craving a softer pace, deeper support, and a sacred space for healing… TCVC is for you.

Join TCVC + join me for the live Full Moon Sound Bath this Sunday (you’ll also get access to my upcoming Clarity Challenge and an extensive library of sound baths and practices)

Comment “FULL MOON” and I’ll send you the link, or join TCVC via the link in my bio

Mantra for this season:
I listen inward. I move gently. I trust the unfolding.

I am sending you so much love
