ONE MONTH, PEOPLE.

One month until my best friend and I declare our love for one another and tear up the dance floor.
🪩
After over a decade being together, I honestly didn’t think I’d be feeeling so nervous // excited // stressed.

But it’s truly starting to feel like a new chapter of our lives. I’m so grateful to have the privilege to share our love with our friends and family!

Been doing lots of biz stuff behind the scenes as I’m very much enjoying being in my bride era! 👰🏻‍♀️

Reminder that if you’re looking to co-create together, I’m taking October off so rn I’m already booking November // December and into 2024! 👀






Another reminder or maybe more of a PSA: prepare yourselves for the wedding spam to come!!!!

Love always,

Jilly

✨You hold the power to shape a more just + peaceful future by acknowledging your potential for change.

TRUTH: True healing isn't a quick fix; it's rooted in indigenous wisdom, not trendy hacks. Often, wellness concepts like self-regulation, egocentric mindset work & self-care carry values of extraction, urgency + hierarchy perpetuated by capitalism, white feminism, and the industrial wellness complex. The kicker?! We tend to blame individuals while overlooking the systems that keep us in survival mode.

🚀 You started your business to break free from 'standards' and societal 'norms,' to challenge the status quo. It's easier said than done, but together, we can make your mission to transform culture easier, more impactful, AND more aligned.

Just as no part of your body operates solo, you don’t have to either. 👏🏼We're all part of this interconnected dance of life.

So, what's next? Step into somatics, where we reconnect with our bodies + nature guided by values of: trust, integrity, reciprocity, and wonder.
〰️Trust in your innate gifts and the coaching process to restore your body as a sanctuary, and renewable resource.
〰️With integrity, metabolize buried emotions by completing stress responses and creative expression.
〰️Reciprocity will lead to clear communication, prioritization, balance, play, connection, innovation, and resilience.
〰️Wonder rekindles your relationship with yourself and the worlds around you. 🌍

🦋 Feeling the need to slow down, accept yourself more, or lighten your load? The time is always right. Embrace your bravery to face fear and cultivate confidence, stepping into your role as the embodied leader you've always been.

The definitive power move: aligning with your people!AKA Service providers whose approach feels like a long awaited warm embrace from a forever friend, whose work inspires action & whose values resonate with yours yet leave space for expansion + honesty on both sides.
🌞
Your essence + resilient nervous system =thriving business. When nurtured by those who share your passion + your joy you reshape how we relate to the body, each other, resources, money, and success.

TO BE HUMAN IS TO BE A LOVING CONTRADICTION.
💖
You can hold multiple truths at once.

You can celebrate the paradox of your intersections.

You can honour every dimension of your humanity.

You can become the irony.
🌿

What else would you add to this list?
I’D ADD:

〰️ There isn’t enough space for nuance on social media, and it's a space that can both separate and connect us while being an echo chamber to affirm or a challenging space to learn + appreciate.
〰️ You can be harmed and create harm even if you’re kind and that wasn’t your intention.
— You’re exploring the impact of hero, victim, villain narrative.
〰️ You prioritize self-care while also giving without expectations
— you believe in reciprocity + fill up your cup first as that’s beneficial for all
〰️ You can simultaneously be whole, a work in progress, be skilled, and not have all the answers!
⚡️

Can you relate to any of these contradictions // signs you’re healing?
OR
maybe what I shared is what you want for yourself, relationships, business, community, nature, and the collective?

IF SO, LET’S BRING YOUR HOPES, DREAMS, DESIRES TO FRUITION. 🍐✨🪩

Expertise matters, yet there's a universe beyond it.

In the pursuit of expertise, there's a hidden pitfall we must navigate—an obstacle that can stifle our progress & narrow our potential. 🌱 But here's the secret: your path to becoming an expert was never about reaching a static peak. The reason you stand as an expert today is your unceasing commitment to personal evolution, to pushing the very boundaries of your field; True experts never stop expanding. They recognize and love the fact that wisdom whispers all around us collectively, individually, naturally, and ancestrally in our cells. Knowledge defies bounds
SO CAN YOU 👏🏼

In a rapidly shifting world, with polarization, technological leaps, and unforeseen challenges, it’s easy to stay small + comfortable.

Yet I stand advocating for the unquenchable thirst of regeneration: where curiosity, courage, and commitment are the foundation for boundless potential.

🌀By resisting the urge to cling to expired norms or discount unexpected answers, when you’re free from biases you can uncover hidden connections + innovation. 🧠🌈

You ready to uncover new path forward is illuminated by possibilities beyond imagination?✨

Some tips that may resonate:
〰️See the potential for

everyone + everything to be a resource and/or portal
〰️Accept the fear & ask for help
〰️Move slowly + intentionally.
〰️Trust & believe you are capable to handle what comes your way
〰️Instead of 'fixing,' try to simply be with whatever is alive in the moment
〰️Try new things!
〰️Expand your circle to include people with alternate perspectives
〰️Rest + integrate
〰️PLAY, experiment & take risks
〰️Remember that you are never alone
〰️Deconstruct authority, hierarchy & urgency
〰️Are you in a reciprocal relationship?

The journey of ethical entrepreneurs, regenerative business visionaries, a soul-led intentional lifestyle (AND OBVIOUSLY a somatic life coach with a body-centered approach to liberation) is grounded in these principles. Together, we unearth the unconscious, embracing the resilience of nature, neuroscience, the body, lineage, aliveness + community.

Let’s harness dormant wisdom so you can embody your alchemy 🌱🪄🔮💚

There's no such thing as being entirely "self-made."
🌿
Our successes are shaped by the support, guidance, and energies we interact with and receive from others and the environment.

While we strive for self-regulation, it's essential to acknowledge that we're not isolated entities. Our emotions, actions, and well-being are intricately linked to the rhythms of nature and the energies that surround us. 🌞🌊 By embracing this connection, we empower ourselves to navigate life's challenges and joys with a deeper understanding of the space we take up and the places we intersect.

Dissolve the illusion of being "self-made" and dive deep into the truth of interdependence and co-creation.

Every step we take is a dance with the environment around us – from the air we breathe, to teachers and healers, to sound of the bugs in your garden.

We are relational beings. Our relationships are what allow us to step fully into our humanity. How we relate (to self, other + earth) offers us the depth of belonging, and it is belonging that enables us to create meaning, to thrive, and to forge a regenerative path forward of trust, safety, and resilience.

Just as a thriving ecosystem relies on collaboration, entrepreneurs flourish through partnerships, shared knowledge, and conscious choices.

Just like nature's intricate systems, businesses are a result of understanding and harmonizing with the world around us, not merely standing alone.

Remember, we are never truly alone in entrepreneurship or on the journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and embodied liberation.
Our existence is woven into the fabric of existence itself — not a hierarchal boundary but a gateway to new life.

Reach out to the support of nature, thank your community, and revel in the abundance all around you.

Embrace the dance of life's aliveness and apply its wisdom to shape your life in + business with me!

Let’s collaborate before I head on leave in October! 💍👰🏻‍♀️💖

Me: continuously showing up for all parts of myself, reminiscing on every version I once embodied— even the scared one that hid behind perfectionist masks, the unsure one that lived in awkward laughter, the people-pleaser that abandoned herself.

Authenticity matters.

Yet, with the noise of the world, it’s easy to get lost when coming home to your truth.

We don’t need anymore humans trying to conform and mold themselves around oppressive systems. We need more people unraveling themselves + unearthing their essence.

This is easier said than done obviously cuz the body goes where it knows!

Instead of trying to fix and change and release, I invite you to simply sit with yourself and welcome every emotion, sensation, and experience.
This is the data, the patience, the acceptance + compassion that can be your foundation for growth. Disconnecting from these stories and getting underneath them to their core is what I do.

Then with accountability, curiosity and courage, we can work together to get clear on how to move forward intentionally so you actually create the changes you want to feel in your life SUSTAINABLY!

One of the most potent ways I *BE* with myself lies within my morning self-care routine aka my somatic ritual. I call it this as my body is sacred and meant to be revered ✨

Awareness: notice my space (exteroception), where my body is in said space (proprioception)
Hydrate: 🌊 cool temp + touch
Attune: sunshine 🌞 / internal sensations + emotions (interoception)
Connect: make contact with my body via touch: massage, tapping, etc. + thank my body.
Breathe: stimulation🧘🏻‍♀️
Stretch: release + activate💃🏻
Nourish: slow breakfast 🫖🍌
Coregulate: 🐰 + 🌿

This morning somatic ritual allows me to slow down + tune in to my unique human experience & adjust my actions accordingly based on the feedback I receive (not just what society coins what I’m “supposed” to do!)💚

When your awareness is hypervigilant to the world, (focused on comparison, competition & potential threats) your resources deplete.
A REMEDY: spend energy on nourishing your body-mind-soul-nature connection by tending to your inner landscape—the ecosystem that supports you— to create space/solace/boundary from overwhelm.

Nourish yourself, unfurl truth & ground into goals via aligned action at your own natural rhythm!

TL;DR: Somatics = embodiment = Authenticity = confidence = clarity = aligned action = connection = regeneration!

⚡️OUR PERSONAL INSECURITIES ARE INTIMATELY INTERTWINED WITH THE GLOBAL CHALLENGES WE FACE.

🙈Confession: There was a time when I despised my nose so much that I actively avoided profile shots like the above, fearing judgment and believing I had a haggard witch nose. It's a vulnerable admission, but it's important to be honest about our struggles as I know I’m not alone in subscribing to societal expectations. Buh-bye to body dysmorphia and expired standards of beauty.

But what truly shifted my perspective and change my life (+ biz)? Cultivating emotional intelligence, compassion, curiosity, somatic awareness, creative expression, releasing limiting beliefs/patterns + connecting with nature.

I remembered that my worth extends far beyond appearances— lies in embodying my truth daily, and aligning my actions with my values.

Embracing myself unleashed inner power, not just changing how I saw myself but also transforming how I engage with the world.

Our insecurities are not isolated. Through my work as a somatic coach, I’ve noticed collective threads in my clients’ challenges— Themes like / being seen and — all impact the way we show up and relate to the world.

The wildfires ravaging forests of Canada serve as a powerful metaphor for the internal burning insecurities we all carry in some form. Left unaddressed, they hinder our growth and disrupt our harmony with the land, lineages, and our aliveness.

Devastation caused by climate change is a stark reminder of the urgent need for change in how we treat our planet. Insecurities (and many other systemic issues) stem from a disconnected relationship with our body and the Earth.

But here's the empowering truth: we possess the power to heal and grow!
🔮🌿🪄
Let’s repair and reclaim our relationship with the world, support sustainability, engage in regenerative business practices, and hold corps accountable 👀.

Together, we can restore the elemental kinship between your body and nature’s wisdom.

Last year I had c0vId for my 30th birthday🙄 so being able to gather with some of my favourite people felt extra special!

YET, In amongst all the love & pleasure of birthdays lives the act of receiving + being seen. 🫠

This fear of being seen is a theme many of us journey through — it even came up in my April COALESCE community care circle— every single person on the call experiences this flavour of fear!

YOU’RE NOT ALONE—Through somatic practices, we can begin to understand the ways in which our
early experiences//societal conditioning have led us to believe that vulnerability is “weakness” or that we must be self-sufficient to survive. Our bodies can then hold onto beliefs and patterns that inhibit our ability to receive. These beliefs become deeply ingrained in our bodies, making it challenging to shift.

But the truth is, as humans, we are wired to thrive in connection. Learning to receive from others & allowing ourselves to be seen is not only a powerful act of self-care, but it also contributes to a larger cultural shift towards interdependence + mutual support.

SO on this birthday, I'm grateful for the reminder that true celebration is not just about the external trappings, but about the willingness to be vulnerable & allow ourselves to be seen in our humanity.

But when we begin to unravel these patterns + cultivate a deeper sense of safety in our bodies, we open up to a whole new world of possibility. Another belief is that by embracing vulnerability and opening courageously, we create space for deeper connection + growth: We begin to see that receiving is not just about getting what we want or need, but about allowing ourselves to be in co-creation with nature.

So as I celebrate another year of life (what I’m calling my 30th + 1), I'm one step closer to the freedom that comes from being received & grateful for the support of those around me. AND I'm inspired to continue breaking down the barriers to vulnerability + celebrating myself fully, knowing that by doing so, I'm contributing to a larger cultural shift!

May this be your reminder of the power of community, vulnerability +growth!

The ultimate goal of nervous system healing is not regulation but resilience!
✨

As a somatic coach who specializes in nervous system support for regenerative businesses, I believe that understanding the neuroscience behind polyvagal theory and how we move through the three states of the nervous system (ventral Vagal, sympathetic + dorsal Vagal) is crucial.

Building resilience means increasing our capacity to handle stress, adapting to changing circumstances, and cultivating curiosity and compassion so you can lead with courage, creativity, and commitment. It means recognizing when to slow down or regulate and when to mobilize or express. By prioritizing nervous system resilience, we can create a culture of reciprocity, reclamation, and belonging.

Regenerative business is not just about being ethical— it’s about going beyond harm reduction to actively restore and regenerate the natural and social systems we depend on (same for our Nervous systems + business).
And transformation happens in community + connection!

If you're an entrepreneur looking to repair your connection to your life, body, relationships and business, I can help. 👋🏼
From mindfulness to movement to breathwork to coaching, integrating polyvagal theory into your daily practices is easier than you think— especially when you’ve got someone by your side ☺️
