What are your routine safety cues? Things that help anchor you? ❣️

There will never be a season quite like this one again - so grateful it’s a chapter of our lives.

The three years were packed with lessons, memories, struggles, hopes, dreams fulfilled and so much presence.

I had the privilege of moving slowly which was both terrifying and deeply freeing. I often reflected that I had low patience but after this season, I can say I have much more.

I feel more “here” than I’ve ever been - and it’s so good to be here. To take deep breaths, to allow myself to take up space, to express, and contribute my thoughts, feelings & presence to the world. I connected with little me again - whimsy, strong, contemplative, free. It’s been so sacred to recover creativity and autonomy.

I leaned into trust a lot. Uncertainty is super hard, but it’s where you find out who your trust is in and why. In the quiet, in the lack of forward movement (externally), God was near. Comforting, soothing, pruning, asking, prompting, and continually inviting us to rest with him in every way.

Bryan and I grew a lot in healthy connection. I laugh (and cringe a little) looking back at where we were when we arrived. Having the time and space to do deep relational work together was incredible. We’ll always be growing, but proud of the ground we took in these years especially. It felt like we got recalibrated.

I was driving around a couple weeks ago and decided to explore some back roads. I found out where places connected and it was a fun ah-ha moment. That’s kind of what this season has been - back road moments to revelation and deepened understanding. Trusting and getting curious about the turns and being present in the suspension and unknowns.

The next roads lead us back to NY, excited to be close to family again & lots of lush green beauty. ♥️

I’m someone who struggled with judging anger and felt shame for feeling it. It felt irrational, too big, messy, hurtful, and I felt devastated by the collateral damage of it. But my response to this emotion was actually more about how anger had been expressed (by myself or others), not about the anger itself.

Anger is a helpful signal emotion- it lets us know where we could use a boundary. It can hold up a mirror to us about an area we may need some healing in. In life threatening moments, it can save us. Anger is not bad, and what we do with it can be harmful, or it can be healthy and healing.

If you struggle with feeling the emotion of anger, here’s some journal prompts:

What was my main experience in childhood with the emotion of anger? How did I respond to it as a kid? (p.s. - bring in lots of compassion for this reflection!)

Do I believe anger is bad? Why?

When have I seen someone (in real life or in a movie/book) express healthy anger? How did they express it?

-What’s an area I notice I have more anger, and how can I support myself to move through it? (instead of bottle it, judge it, or project it onto others)

What if your faith step was allowing yourself to be met right where you are?

We can’t outrun the limitations of our humanity, but we can run into the arms of the God who made us and deeply knows us.

Your story, your body’s responses, and who you are makes complete sense.

When you begin to see yourself compassionately, just as God does, it’s impossible for your beliefs not to change, and for you not to receive healing.

Life consulting is no magic pill, but it has changed my life - and I would love to welcome you onto this sacred journey.

I also highly recommend Diane Poole Heller’s audiobook “Healing Your Attachment Wounds” if you’re interested in more reparative and guided exercises like this. I have had some deeply meaningful and healing encounters while listening to it.

This practice has been really helpful for me over the last few years. I can remember a specific moment where I felt uncomfortable and just wanted to leave my body. I practiced narrating: “Maya, I see you. I’m with you. I’m not going to leave you.” Pretty immediately I felt my body start to shift to calm. The mere act of seeing and attuning to myself was what was needed in the moment.
