I had an amazing conversation with Britta for the Multifacted summit, which you can sign up for for free here!

It starts today but goes all week…

From a young age, we’re taught to disregard our eccentricities and quirks, molding ourselves to please others. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This begins in traditional school systems and gets translated into our vocations as adults.

The result: we try to fit in, oblivious to the fact that what we actually crave is true belonging.

The expectation of ‘industry standard’ reels us into a state of mediocrity, where we know we’re not fully expressed but we’re too afraid of disappointing others or rocking the boat to do anything about it.

Are you ready to break out of this paradigm and finally bring ALL your tools, modalities and magic into your mainstream industry?

Join me November 6-12 for MULTIFACETED, a 6-day summit experience for multipassionates to build a cohesive, prosperous and soulful body of work that includes all their passions, modalities and unique magic.

What’s the point of seggsual healing when the world is on fire? When war is raging? When people are dying?

The point is because liberation matters. In all forms.
The personal IS political.

I stand by that fully. When we ourselves are not liberated — are confined by the patterns and constructs and dogmas that exist in and around us — how on earth do we expect to transform this world we are living in?

It’s been hard for me to continue launching my program Slow Burn. I’ve been struck with grief, feeling the pain of the world. I’ve had tough personal conversations with people closer to the conflict than myself. I’ve also held clients—both Jewish and Muslim—in their fear and loss, as they grapple with this conflict and what it means for them and their communities.

I would be a fool to think that I know even half of what there is to know about this conflict.

But what I do know for myself is that I stand for liberation of the oppressed, and there is absolutely a necessity to continue our personal healing journeys as much as we continue advocating for a better world for all.

That’s not to say we need to be perfectly healed to heal the world. There is no such thing as perfect, nor is there something that exists that is as defined as “healed.”

But without understanding our own nervous system dynamics, without being able to be with our pain and our anger and our grief in ways that support us as opposed to harm us, I don’t know how we can fully advocate for a world that is on fire.

Understanding how to offer myself empathy, understanding and validation helps me show up much stronger to others and the world at large with response as opposed to reaction. A strong response. An empowered response. A response of that encourages right relationship with the earth and humanity.

Personal healing does not have to bypass the very real realities of the world. It can inform it.

I haven’t spoken deeply on what’s happening in the world for many reasons, one being that I don’t want to use this situation in any way to market Slow Burn, or to take away from the very real concerns and fear many are living with. But I also recognized that if I was wondering what the point of s*xual healing is in a world that’s on fire — and I’m the one ADVOCATING for deep, intentional, slow and self-empowered healing — that you might be wondering that, too.

It is important to see that the type of seggsual healing Slow Burn offers — which holds self-trust and internal safety as the absolute foundation of the work — is exactly the medicine we need in this world. Thawing out patterns of freeze, coming out of burn out, integrating our pain and sorrow: this the medicine we need now… not later. And this is the medicine Slow Burn offers.

If you feel overwhelmed by the state of the world — may I suggest that you start by tuning in to yourself? I believe it’s the medicine we all need.

Send a D M if you would like to discuss it more.

Slow Burn, a 5-month long live course, starts October 25. 12 workshops, 4 coaching calls and 4 community calls, welcoming you exactly where you’re at.

Someone just wrote on one of my Facebook posts, “All your posts sound like you really need someone to talk to. Facebook isn’t real you know. Go find real people.” 🙄

It’s interesting how a person’s perception, which comes from their personal location, can be so out of touch what is actually going on. Apparently my posts made him uncomfortable, so he projected an idea that they were a cry for help. When in actuality, just this past month I feel like I’ve found a comfort in my voice again after years of feeling like I lost it and longing for it to return.

I used to share vulnerably and openly online. It was my platform where I advertised my work, but I also had no holds on what I offered to the world. Ever since 2012 when I began a blog about s*xualized abuse in the Mennonite church, I was one who spoke about controversial things online, as well as my own healing process.

But then through both recognizing how much my worth was tied up in my different work and “public persona,” and through landing myself in multiple abusive relationships with mentors or partners where those I looked up to used shame tactics to silence me (which in a round about way led me to deep diving into my worth issues, so thank you 🙃), I stopped writing online.

Not only did I stop, but I became scared to use my voice. I would have panic attacks after posting things. I would question and worry. My stomach would feel like it was scrambled. I’d have to call friends to tell me I wasn’t insane or wrong and bad for something I said. And half the time I’d delete whatever it was that I posted in the first place. Fear, anxiety and worry became my regular companions on my journey.

But I also remembered the version of me who had no fear. Who said whatever she said, whenever she wanted to say it. And I missed her! I longed for her! I grieved her!

Even though a part of her was exchanging her worth for her words, she was also brave, courageous and empowered in her voice - qualities I no longer felt like I had. She felt comfortable sharing her healing process. She felt okay with being seen. She felt like her words were important, and helpful to those who needed and resonated with them.

For three years I’ve been praying for healing around utilizing my voice. I’ve been patiently working with my nervous system, expanding my capacity to speak again about things that are important to me. I’ve been asking what right relationship is, for me, with online spaces. I’ve been questioning what the balance is for my work of offering somatic trauma resolution skills to others + sharing my own personal healing journey.

What I do know is that the leaders and practitioners I respect are the leaders who stand both in their vulnerability and authenticity, AND in their skill. I do not have any interest in learning or studying with someone who claims to have it all “figured out.” Who’s teaching from a pedestal.

That doesn’t mean they have to be sharing every aspect of their personal life on the internet. But I do need to know that they still see themselves as a student as well as a teacher or leader.

And that’s the kind of teacher I am. I do not lead a space from a position of, “I’ve got it all figured out, see, let me teach you.” No, I lead from a place of, “Here is what I’ve found that works for me, and look, I’m still a work in progress.”

In my last round of Slow Burn, this was the number one thing that the participants praised me for in the evaluations at the end. How I had an amazing balance of vulnerability and honesty about my experience, without it detracting from my expertise or teaching. Rather, it enhanced it, and offered safety and permission and understanding to all those sitting in the room.

It’s funny, because back in the day when I was sharing way more openly than I do these days, comments like that one would have taken me OUT. I would have agonized about it for hours.

Today, when I saw it I deleted it, blocked the dude, and then wrote this post… not because I was upset or triggered by it, but because I honestly found it interesting how…

1) it had very little impact on me, and

2) how it came at me at a time when my voice is finally feeling safer to come online, and I’ve been posting things with far less thought or fear around them in the last month than I have over the past 3 years.

I could have allowed that comment to make me small and to shrink again. But instead I’m using it as proof that I am healing and really coming back into my voice.

Those who don’t like my voice can continue on their way. Those who get it will stay.

And if you want to learn about seggsual healing from someone who has done 10 years of study + 15 years of personal work on the topic + is still in her own process around intimacy, I welcome you to join Slow Burn. It’s a space that welcomes you exactly where you are, and helps establish safety and self-trust from that location, as opposed to expecting yourself to be somewhere on the journey that you are not. We start October 25.

If there’s a deep freeze in the body, consent becomes much more confusing. Our mind might say yes, while our body says no. But if we’re dissociated, we don’t feel that no, and therefore go forward anyway, overriding boundaries.

That’s why I think the consent conversation in mainstream society is wildly lacking. We can’t just rely or assume that everyone is capable of saying a yes or a no. That’s actually a learned skill that many people need to develop. AND that process includes thawing out chronic freeze responses in the body.

last night I went to my favorite spot near my parent’s place in Iowa and sang my love and gratitude to this place, and whispered my deepest longings and desires to the land. some words I hadn’t ever let leave my lips.

without even knowing the meaning of goldenrod, I basked in a field of it. symbolizing encouragement and growth, it is an appropriate marker for this one year time. how I got from where I was this time last year, to where I am this time this year, feels like a blessing of the goddess. healing through intense CPTSD, I found may way through. to have dreams again, desires and hopes, feels like something brand new.

my trauma brain thought this part of me was long gone, never to be found again. but instead she’s back here with far deeper roots than ever before.

today, once again in the land of enchantment, I’m feeling heard and seen. the dreams in that field back where I first knew home are now little seeds that I will water and tend. that will soon sprout and keep growing into their own unique beauty. I am anticipating all that they (and I, and you) become.

Capitalism wants us to think that more = better.

It doesn’t.

Curious of your thoughts? Have you had this experience in academia? The coaching industry? Anywhere else?

Feeling really grateful for how much easier it is for me to ground back into my truth and reality, even when being swayed by the world, people’s opinions, or by what appears to be the newest and hottest thing.

Big thank you for for trusting me to take her through a coaching process on her podcast!

If you’d like to check out the episode, the link is in my profile.

Rebirthed and Rooted, my 9-month mastermind, begins with an opening ceremony on Thursday! For those last minute folk, this message is for you. Hop on a call with me and let’s get you in, if this is the place your nervous system wants to heal and be. 🤍

Our patriarchal culture, childhood trauma, intense life circumstances and so much more teaches us to live far outside of our capacity. We used to not have any choice. But as we grow and regulate, choice begins to become a possibility.

Rebirthed and Rooted, my 9-month mastermind, is for you — a person with a profound purpose — who desires to show up in the world.

Who feels called and claimed to be present, integrated, rooted, connected and in right relationship with purpose and pleasure during this chaotic and transformational period in our history.

This is for you if you desire to know what to do with your trauma responses, where to go next, and how to help yourself through ALL the life experiences that will keep coming your way.

This is the medicine of the Rebirthed & Rooted Mastermind

and why I have a passion to work with practitioners, coaches and other healers on the journey.

This container is a combination of somatic body healing, energetic and electromagnetic field understanding, pleasure activism, ancestry and earth connection, and a deep integration on how to connect and stay rooted in one’s self-sovereignty. AND, this is the last week to sign-up! Message me if you're interested!

As a high achiever (including a high achiever at healing), I spent MANY years in my 20's moving through big cathartic release processes. I thought it was my medicine.

If it was intense, I wanted to be signed up for it! Plant medicine ceremonies, big huge breath work sessions, Ta**ra retreats, screaming fests. You name it, I wanted it.

And honestly, in reflection, I think I was a bit addicted to it.

Eventually, it led to a hypo-aroused collapse. Chronic illness, chronic shutdown, depression.

And so I had to begin listening to my body and nervous system in the slowest and most caring ways. I had to listen to the smallest movements. I had to listen to the subtle energetic fields speaking to me.

Which led me to an incredible sense of self-love, self-acceptance and self-care.

I was no longer an achiever on this healing journey.
I was a participant.

When we begin listening to ourselves in this way -- when we Root into our being and find deeper healing -- we can show up in the world with profound skill, capacity and regulated energy (which is what this world needs right now!). 💕

Trauma. It’s real and it exists in all of us. Even if we can intellectually process our trauma, it can take years for our bodies to work through and heal from our experiences. But what does that work look like? What does it feel like? Who can help you work through it? And how do you know if you’ve healed from it?

Today’s guest is helping us understand how our bodies hold and process trauma. Rachel Rae Halder is a somatic trauma resolution guide who listens and reflects to help her clients move through their trauma patterns. She’s my friend and my coach and she has so much goodness to share with you today. What she offers is different from anything I’ve experienced before. Her work is mystical and magical, so let’s get into it with her!

We’re exploring:
★ How trauma can build throughout our lives
★ Somatic work: how it’s different from cognitive understanding and why it’s important for healing
★ How Rachel approaches her coaching work, the energetics behind it, and her training that’s informed it
★ A look at Rachel’s trauma: when it came to light, how she’s healing, and how it’s impacted her life
★ How to know when you’ve healed; what’s the endpoint of trauma work?
★ Details about Rachel’s upcoming container, Rebirthed and Rooted
And much more!

Had such a fun conversation with my client and friend Dr. Taryn Weil: Life and Business Coach for creatives + entrepreneurs on her podcast!
