Are you standing in your own way? 

It's a really important question, especially when it comes to your healing.

We stand in our own way by thinking that we just need to try one more restrictive diet, cut out five more foods or find the perfect blend of supplements, adaptogens, or herbs.  We do it by chasing that one thing...hormones, gut, mold, EBV, food allergies and more.

We do it by figuring it is just our emotions, our mind, our energetic pathways, or our past and trying to isolate down to the ONE event, issue or problem we have to solve.  Now, I get it, wanting it to be ONE thing, it seems easier, but, truth is, it has never been and will never be just ONE part of you that is exhausted, it is all of you and it is real

Operating this way creates a blockage in our healing because it takes us out of association with our body as a whole, tends to isolate us into our head and cuts us off from what our body and our real emotional state is going through.

To heal, it is essential that...

Stuck.

Some think that stuckness is mental, that if they could shift their beliefs, the stuckness would disappear, others think it is situational, if they could just take a bit more time off, have a different job, move houses, change locations...it would stop.

But stuckness is more tangible than we realize, that sense of being trapped, immobile, it isn’t just a psychological phenomenon, it is a literal physiological state.  In fact, I have never found someone who was stuck in a belief or an emotional pattern whose body hadn’t followed that lead and become stuck too.  

In the body, this is different, stuckness causes literal congealment, thickening of the blood, deposition of plaque on arteries, fibroids, cellulite, joint pain, headaches, digestive issues, brain fog, anxiety, and immune dysfunction.  But these things don’t unwind because we move or change our b...

Stop Exercising.

You may be thinking, this is insane, I won’t stop exercising, that is a recipe for disaster.

But, hear me out.

Exercise carries with it an implied definition, as in movement we do for the purpose of being some way different.  Sometimes it is stronger, sometimes it is to run farther, sometimes to be more agile, and many times to lose weight.  Meaning, exercise is our replacement for the natural human instinct to move.

We never had exercise until modern civilization, there wasn’t a need, we never forgot to move, or forgot to walk or use our body.  Now, we count steps.

The question is: Is there a difference?

Yes! A dramatic one! Exercise done on obligation is like any other chore, we do it, but we don’t love it, and our body knows the difference.  Think of the last time you went dancing with good friends or played at the beach with your kids, that was exercise, but did you experience it as such? Not likely, because you weren't there for a particular effect or a spec...

Maybe you haven’t had it overtly, but if you are like me, you have had it...in the form of food, in the form of exercise, even in the form of meditation...can’t count the number of times, I have spoken with others about why they weren’t feeling peaceful after they had been dedicated to meditation daily for months.

I know you have said it, I can say this with confidence, because I lived most of my life there…

THINKING that because I was DOING the “right” things my body should respond with change to reflect what I wanted.

Do you see the disconnect? THINKING…

Except that our biology doesn’t respond well to thinking...it is more of an emotional action taker, so when we are thinking, with panic that our body should respond...

How many of you secretly wish your body would just behave?

And yet, how many of you are raising kids, have raised kids or are an auntie or special inspiration to a child?

Those Supplements you keep buying, the special herb formulas for “people just like you”, even the Thyroid meds you might have been given aren’t what your body really needs.

So much of the health industry isn't looking at what is really happening in people’s bodies, not considering if the body can even use nutrients, not considering if the organs are actually too tired, burdened and weak to respond to those herbs, not considering if there is enough support in the cell and system to do much at all with hormonal messages, and yet, that is the major dogma.

I know you are concerned about your health, wondering why your body holds so much inflammation, why it is so tired, why your sleep, mood, digestion, skin, libido and mind have been impacted when for the most part everyone says there isn’t anything big to give attention to.

I know how you have been lured by FB posts for the super greens, the diet teas, the mushroom powders and more, all because you are getting to the point whe...

Do you wonder why you don't feel well?

Do you think...well, my friends don’t feel well either...so...maybe this is life after 40? 

Do you figure it's just life, or stress or aging?

Doesn’t this strike you as odd?  That not feeling well is so common we just accept it as the way life goes?  Don’t you ever wonder why?

We as a collective have diminished our expectations of life so much that we figure as women that by the time we reach 40, oor 50 or 60, that not feeling alive is just part of the pattern...we assume not well is ok, as long as Dr’s say they can’t find cancer, as long as we can pretty much show up in life, and pretend normal, as long as we can still fake it, still make dinner, still push through.

When did we agree to such a small version of our life that we assume such a small normal?

It strikes me as funny and quite honestly terribly sad that we honestly wait for illness to assume action...that we regard ourselves as healthy if we have normal labs, even if w...

Expect to go out of your way

Expect to leave the path you have known

Expect it to be hard at times

Expect it to change you

Expect it to make you wonder if it is worth it

Expect to be a bit uncomfortable 

These are descriptions of any journey worth taking, of every challenge that was worthy of changing you of every true transformation.

Healing is no different 

In fact, I could argue even more so because healing when true, is every part of you shifted, strengthened, grown, nourished and changed in some small or huge way 

I have news for you...a diet isn't healing 

Supplements aren't healing

Exercise isn't healing

I suppose you wonder, how can she say that, how can she say that what I put in my body isn't healing?

Because food crafted in absence of conscience, of grace to your system and without intent to collude with the Life Force which cultivates you is just matter and particles...some of which are good and some of which are bad.

See, Healing is resumption of Div...

Don't let FEAR stop you from claiming your DIVINE, AWESOME, GODDESS VITALITY!

But, why are so many people so stuck?  FEAR

Yes- you read correctly!

Every day, I hear examples of FEAR holding people back: 

" I can't find anyone to look deeper than symptoms”

" I have tried everything I can think of....."

" I have too many problems...."

" I need to wait until.....(house sells, kid graduates, new water heater, pay off other medical bills....)

" I'm afraid…."

" I think I might be too tired to do this"

" I'm afraid I won’t be here in 10 more years"

" I'm afraid I will just not be able to keep up”

" I'm afraid my husband is going to leave me”  (due to lack of connection, fatigue and low libido)

" I'm afraid I am going to get cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia"

Isn’t it amazing all the ways FEAR shows up?

When you think about it, in our states of deep exhaustion, most of the time, unless we choose with purpose, FEAR ends up ma...

Are you defined by how busy you are?

Do you think to yourself every day, man, I'm badass, look at what I did today.

I went to work, I took care of projects, I got my kid's lunch and school stuff ready, I helped them with their homework, I made dinner, I even managed to vacuum the floors, on top of that, I responded to three personal texts and 5 emails and I worked out.

Is your entire identity wrapped up in all the things that you were able to do?

So, can I ask, how many of those were activities of meaning?

How many of those were means to express your soul's call in this life?  Or things you can confidently proclaim done to feed your deep purpose?

How many of them were part of this conglomeration of activities and ideas that we've all agreed to based on societal constructs of what it means to be a productive, successful woman?

Statistically American women are more exhausted than any other women on the planet.

Why are we so exhausted?

Because we've linked our identity and valu...
