You have the right to be exactly who you are. But.... Or maybe the fear swings the other way— This picture says it perfectly.... Thank you iamdomfarnan. (In her comments she shares a lot of other great info, if you want to check her out). This truth has taken me years to learn in my own trauma healing journey: This fear doesn’t come out of nowhere. For many of us, (me included), it was woven into our nervous systems when we were told—directly or indirectly—that our presence was a problem. We learned it was safer to shrink, silence, suppress, or strive. But something I have also learned....my body, your body....it was never the problem. Your truth, Your needs, your voice, your radiance and mine too—they all deserve space. And now this truth is being woven into my nervous system. As each new layer of trauma is released, it offers space for my inner wisdom and truth to share what healing offers me now. 💛 One way this happens is through the solar plexus chakra. So how do we begin to heal those solar plexus survival patterns? Try this simple practice:
Let any sensations or images arise. There’s no wrong answer, impression or sensation. You’re not trying to force anything—just offering your nervous system a safe space to reclaim your right to be you. You're not too much. You're not too little. 💛 If you're looking for more personalized support in rebuilding that sense of safety in your body and self-expression, I have a few openings in my Basic Foundations 1:1 Coaching Program. We gently explore how to reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and trust the wisdom within.
You get to show up as the full, radiant, real you. Remember, ❤️ You Matter. Your Healing Matters. You Are Worth It! P.S. You could tap into some of this during my Free Challenge tomorrow. Would love to see you there. Safe Enough to Start: Build Your (5ish) minute Practice

July is summer at my place. And summer brings up all sorts of beautiful, crazy and hard for me…. How would you describe your summer? Fun....relaxing....exhausting -- adding ands and both is powerful because…. For me, summer has been: Fun and exhausting. Relaxing and stressful. Good & hard, Really good and Really hard, Boring and way too busy, And all the spaces in between.

As a child, I used to get in trouble for humming—usually at the dinner table. I often didn’t even realize I was doing it until someone asked me to stop. By the third or fourth time, it wasn’t just about the humming anymore—I was now “being disobedient.” I’d get scolded for being noisy and for not listening. What no one realized—including me—was that I was soothing myself the only way I knew how. It wasn’t until I was in my 40s that I learned how powerful vibration can be for the nervous...
