Phoenix Retreat An all-inclusive event to regulate the nervous system and engage in intense healing and rebirth with experienced clinicians.

I need feedback...

Imagine you're going on a 4 day retreat in Mexico where everything is taken care of for you...

Do you want to relax and connect to a group?

Do you want to get unstuck on a topic you've tried talk therapy with for 6 months?

Ready!

Go!

As we prepare for the transition into September, we'd like to share a book that was recommended to us by a couple months ago that has truly impacted our work.

Cue, craving, response, reward has been so insightful and helped is adapt many difficult and unhelpful habits.

When I do marketing, I tend to tey to have fancy words and compelling ideas, but I think that's the difficult experience of our culture, especially around motherhood.

My wife struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety. I felt it in my family, my relationship and saw the patterns and impact.

From this hardship, a longing was created inside me to support women and challenge the often unrealistic expectations put onto women.

Using my signature pillars of worthiness, I am offerring a virtual group community at a discounted price as a beta test for up to 8 women who are up to 2 years postpartum.

This group is centered on building community, connection, safety within ourselves and with others from a place of valuing our authentic feelings and experiences.

We smelled the sunflowers on a bike ride/walk home and I remembered all the reasons I have to be grateful. It's been an emotional and hard year for me. I felt more devastated than I've ever felt in my life on two separate occasions and even checked my life insurance policy in case my kids needed it.

The universe is here every day offerring gifts and support and guidance. Are we paying attention is the question?

What do you have to be grateful for today?

My coach spent 2 hours explaining the details of photoshoots last week and I realized, I HATE the small details. I need an assistant to do this from our conversation and I just want to show up and do the work.

Later, I met this woman named Lydia. She gave me this beautiful gift and I want to send her thanks into the Universe and wish for healing for her and her family.

Lydia got a little too drunkies and I was worried about her. Some people she spoke to also tried to make her leave telling her to come on and get back to her room. I walked up and said, hey, I just want to get you home safe tonight. I won't rush you, I'll stay until you're ready and then I will walk you back to your room. She said with big eyes. You'll keep me safe. Yes I will. I promise. And she gave me her room number.

We danced and I held her up and at the end of the night listened while she cried and walked her home safely and put her in bed.

Here's the gift... I lead baby therapists and I was talking about trusting the process and living in the details of people's stories and I remembered Lydia and shared the story of holding a safe space for her to live in and the intention of not forcing her into what I BELIEVED to be best for her.

That's what we all want when we ask for help. Someone to hold space for us in struggle. To see us and know that we dont have to be ready and maybe hold us up when we are falling down. I gave Love to Lydia freely without expectation because she DESERVED IT. WE DESERVE IT.

The next day, I looked at this photo I took and realized I can do the small details when I TRUST THE PROCESS. Trusting the process means we show up and we love each other and give unconditional positive regard to everyone we see through eyes of reverence and deserving. This is the essence of my shoots, the details are right in front of me.

It's the story we tell ourselves that's in the way.

Thank you Lydia for your gift and I hope we all remember that we deserve love, always.

Last night teachings from the past year all came together in a moment. I asked the Universe to show me what I've been missing. I have been in a internal conflict managing how to "DO" the things I KNOW support me.

Last night, in CaCao Ceremony with Dani through Conexion a corazon, the Universe helped me "Remember" I am sovereign. I am safe. I am integrated. I am a Warrior. I am Mother.

We are all equal and my specific purpose is to support people in finding their community, their own safety. It was gentle, it was precious, loving and compassionate.

Thanks yall for this honor!

I've wanted to wear a tux for an event for 15 years. I have used excuses and reasons for why I can't (money, time, etc) because I was scared. It felt like a big shift and a risk. I called to set the appointment and he asked 3 times who it was for and when I said me, he said but you're female. I said, yes, I am and it's still for me.

I almost cancelled. No lie, but I wanted this. I didn't do it for my own wedding.

This Saturday, I'm attending my first formal event since college when I still wore dresses for the big events to make it easy and to fit in with West Texas.

I am sharing this today. To be brave. To overcome my fears and take another step into my fully aligned and unique self.

I voted today. Living in Texas is a special experience. When Roe v Wade was dismantled, there was a collective sigh and an uptick in fear, dysregulation and anxiety with EVERY SINGLE PERSON I spend time with. No politician is everything. But today is about the safety of the Collective. Yoga asks us to treat others as we treat ourselves. To be one with our "enemies" or opposition. Sometimes it is hard to step out of angry and self protection and into love of all... but we are ALL deserving of love and acceptance. We are ALL beautiful and have been gifted special skills to uplevel and change the world. What are your special gifts and how can we, together, bring us back to the universal truth of loving everyone, always.

Water is a cleanser, an opportunity to replenish and erase as the waves crash with a consistency, a sense of ease or violence. The 6 pillars of embodied worthiness I've created to walk clients from point A to point B emulate all the lessons the ocean teaches us every day.
