Owning Your O
10/19/2023
Do you find yourself turning to your favorite self-care rituals like yoga, meditation, or going on a hike when you feel overwhelmed? But then you come back to do the thing that got you feeling overwhelmed and you're hit with those same big feelings. Back into self-care you go. Proud of yourself for finally taking care of yourself (especially when you think about how little you used to do for yourself before), but still frustrated that you're not making the kind of strides in your life that you know you're capable of.
The problem is that self-care alone soothes us in the moment, but we're still avoiding our feelings. We're going to experience the same kinds of triggers. We're going to still get overwhelmed if we don't address what's happening underneath the emotions. Relying solely on self-care keeps us stuck in a loop of temporary relief without making real progress.
I wanted to understand my emotions fully and move through them, not just cover them up. I longed to feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
That's why I created Embodied Womanhood - a 6 week live coaching program that uses the Traditional Chinese Medicine framework for understanding emotions.
TCM recognizes that each emotion has an associated energetic pattern in the body. During the program, I teach techniques tailored to these energy patterns. This allows you to work with your emotional flows, adjusting and regulating the energies in a way that moves you through the emotions skillfully.
The result is feeling truly empowered in your emotional life. Understanding your emotions and knowing how to move through them. No more self-care loop avoidance.
If this speaks to you, join Embodied Womanhood! Sessions begin October 24 at 12:30 pm Pacific. Can't join live? Don't worry, the replays will be available for you so you can watch whenever you need... especially after you get overwhelmed by your emotions again.

Have you ever been caught up in a churning cycle of thoughts and feel like you sometimes move through your days on autopilot? Each moment feeling like you're at the mercy of the world around you?
That's been me most of my life. But I knew it didn't have to be this way.
I began to explore the power of embodiment - of tuning into the wisdom of my physical form. With each mindful breath, I felt my lungs expand and contract. As I scanned my body, I released tension on exhales and felt tingles spread across my skin.
Planting my feet firmly on the ground, I tapped into sensations - the solidness under me, spreading roots down through my soles. These simple acts quieted my anxious thoughts and soothed my overwhelmed nervous system.
With consistent practice, I strengthened my mind-body connection. My senses came alive - sights became more vibrant, sounds more melodic. I learned to tap into the universe within and around me through this vessel I've been given.
As my ability to process my emotions expanded, my appreciation for my body's capacity to experience life deepened. Now, even in busy moments, I'm able to drop into an embodied awareness. Feeling my breath and physical form grounds me in the present, before emotions spiral out of control.
No longer scared of what life is going to throw at me, I have stepped into the driver's seat, navigating each moment with confidence in my ability to ride the emotional waves.
This body truly is the piece of the universe I’ve been given. And what a gift it is.

Let's get real about fe**shes and kink. Emerging science reveals these interests originate through natural childhood imprinting and development - not deviance.
This week on Clubhouse, I'll be hosting rooms in my house "Awakening From Within" to explore the science and psychology behind kinks.
Join me Tuesday at 9am Pacific for educational deep dives on "The Science of Kink." We'll unpack the biological mechanisms behind our desires with compassion.
Then attend the Wednesday 1pm Pacific room to continue the thoughtful conversation in a share/care environment. (Replays will be off for this week)

Understanding the science fosters acceptance. Together we can bravely examine fe**sh origins and dismantle lingering taboos. I aim to promote thoughtful dialogue on these topics across social media and my blog.

Let’s be honest —the taboo around fe**shes is real. The discomfort, the whispers, the unease. But what if I told you fe**sh origins are more innocent than you realize?
The truth is most fe**shes begin from normal childhood experiences and progress through normal, healthy child development. Of course, society perpetuates the myth that fe**shes are shameful or harmful.
But the facts reveal that fe**shes develop through natural biological processes. So let’s dismantle the taboos and recognize the universal humanity in our desires.
I wrote a full post and recorded a video with even more details exploring the science behind fe**shes in-depth. Link in comments.
Let’s keep expanding our minds and embracing the diversity of experiences and desires. No shame. Only curiosity and compassion.
Happy Kinktober!
