I had huge amounts of transformation in the past decade plus. A lot of change, a lot of beauty and also dark bottoms. During the hardest parts, I prayed a lot. I went to a lot of Twelve Step meetings. I hired coaches and teachers to hold me. So grateful for my friends. During the darkest parts, I had no vices. I didn’t shop. I didn’t eat out, I didn’t drink. I have spent the last few years rebuilding my nervous system to be able to hold the multiple truths of my life. It takes courage to hold oneself with a straight spine, shoulders back and heart open to say, Yes, these were my choices. To stick around for the clean up, all while being in rightness with oneself as a complex human on the journey of life. In the years previous, it was much easier to collapse in shame and live in denial. Until that became too expensive on my being. I learned to accept and love myself. I made choices that honored myself. With my body, my finances, how I let myself be loved. I created boundaries around how I spent my time, money and energy. The pieces of my life have been falling into place ever since. This is what it looks like to choose oneself. And now it’s time to gallop with the horses ? �This is one of the foundations of my 1:1 work. xoxo Brenda #choosingmyself #selfauthorship #embodiedconfidence #selftrust

I smacked my head on the railing the other day I saw stars and could feel tears welling up behind my eyes. I also felt the pull to keep going with the task at hand. I love these moments because I get to feel the old version of me who would have overridden the tears, and just kept going. I am fine, it’s okay. I’ve seen the women before me do this. But these moments of ignoring my body are complete. I sat down, cried, breathed and put ice on my head. I have a lot of love for the past version of me who couldn’t pause or take up space to cry. My body is the vessel for my soul. Why would I disrespect her by ignoring her needs and messages? The same is true when food goes down the wrong pipe and I need to breathe and cough for a few minutes. I used to talk through the coughing and continue eating. This is how I used to live. 
Perfection ran me. I overrode my body and my intuition. I was led by the persistent need to get everything done before I could relax, have pleasure or take care of myself. My career as a teacher kept me in perpetual motion. I used to spend the entire month of September completely exhausted. I was often sick and would fall asleep every afternoon, unable to do anything beyond the basics. One of my first years teaching, I was so sick I had to write on the board just to communicate with my students. I taught the whole day like that. 
This lesson has showed up for me in many ways over the years. After my father died, I didn’t realize how hard it would be to go to work on the anniversary of his death. I was in a deep state of grief and sadness, unable to focus. The following year, and for many years afterwards, I called in sick to work on this day. I needed spaciousness to reflect and feel. I would take myself to a beautiful park, and have space to be. This was one of the first times I learned how to take space for myself simply because I needed it. There is no outside permission slip for this. It only comes from within. I remember the moment about 5 years ago when I saw the mechanics of how I went past my body’s capacity. It was a huge wake up call… Part 2 in Comments✨

I had everything in life and I burned it all down. The house, the family, nice cars in the driveway, vacations, a marriage, a career I loved. I can see now that it couldn’t have been any other way. As much as I went beyond what any woman in my family has done, the story in my cells told a different story. Because in the end I burned it all down and experienced the same homelessness and survival pattern my grandmother did in the 1930’s, with my own modern Brenda twist. The concept of home has always been alive for me and I know my soul wanted to experience having, losing and desiring home. I remember being a little girl, wanting my HOME so badly. We lived in beautiful homes and that all changed when my parents got a divorce. This is when I experienced my first version of the family pattern. I craved HOME when I got married at 23. I’ve owned two beautiful homes in my life and I loved them with all of my heart. My homes were filled with love, laughter, and two beautiful children. I lost most of my material items in a variety of ways: a hurricane, a storage unit debacle, and mostly, by choosing to walk away from everything I built. Like my grandmother decades ago, I had no real place to call home. I was in survival mode and didn’t even realize it. I thought I was different, but I wasn’t. I recreated experiences I had as a child and as an egg in my mother and grandmother’s bodies. My awakening at age 40 was an invitation to heal the lineage, by healing myself. These things are not meant to be worked on in isolation. It was my daughter who started unwinding the family survival pattern before I even recognized it. This set off bells and whistles in my body. There were many branches of healing the survival patterns in myself. The first one was learning to love myself. I learned to forgive myself, to have compassion for my former selves. I learned to have standards and boundaries. Once I began to soften with myself, the other pieces were able to slowly fill in. My life became chop wood, carry water. Part 2 in Comments

In the last years of my teaching career, I kept repeating to my close colleagues: I am done. I AM DONE. It felt so clear, yet so completely weird. I had planned on teaching for my full 30 years then retiring, like everyone before me. But the teaching culture became toxic, and I was anxious and miserable in the career I had once loved. What was once a child centered learning environment where I created engaging lessons daily, became invasively focused on testing scores. It clashed with my spiritual awakening and call to self-actualization. Similar to the pattern in my marriage, I didn’t know how to exit gracefully. I ended up breaking a district wide testing rule and was formally brought up on charges. I accepted a half school year unpaid suspension then was put in the Rubber Room of the District offices for the second half of that school year. I didn’t even try to negotiate a lesser punishment, as I was truly exhausted and grateful for the break. I am not legally allowed to give more details publicly about this issue so I won’t elaborate further. But I will say that I got caught up in the red tape of politics and was used as an example I loved my job and had a lot of integrity in my work, just as I do now. I had a stellar file and relationship with faculty, administrators and families. Leaving was not an easy decision, and definitely not a financially sober one. But I was strangely clear. Teaching is a job that asks for all of you - in an intrusive kind of way and I could no longer work to the detriment of myself. Since leaving, I have not missed being in the classroom. It has been quite a transition to shift to entrepreneur, where I create my own structure and income. A real bitch sometimes. And a huge initiation into self responsibility. Being an entrepreneur has pushed all of my edges and grown me in ways I never imagined. Part 2 in Comments

There is completion in my body with parenting that I have been working with for a decade. I am fully ready for it. It has not been easy to let go of my Yang (active) mothering role. Mothering has been filled with 30+ years of pure joy and the deepest love. Basically, witnessing the miracles of my children growing into incredible humans. I really won the jackpot of life with my children. Not only are they wise and wonderful humans, they are also my teachers. They mirror back everything about myself that is wonderful, quirky or uncomfortable. Their mere existence has invited me to evolve, to be a more pure version of myself. And into the mother they’ve needed at each stage of their life. Being pregnant with each of them, as their body grew inside of my body, and then birthing, breastfeeding and spending each day and night with them is a miracle. From first smile to building forts to bedtime stories…it has been the greatest privilege of my life to raise Hailey and Jeremy. So, yeah it has been freaking hard to let go. I have seen many mothers grip - that has not been my path. The irony of good parenting is preparing them for a life of not needing you. Stepping back and allowing them to be themselves, to grow and fail and learn is part of a job done well. But letting go for me was tangled up with the mess of losing our family home. I was so focused on the hurt this caused each of them that I totally missed the hurt it caused me. I missed the day to day living together during their college years and their early 20’s…I missed the traditional path of them leaving the nest. We all missed that developmental stage. I have grieved this deeply. I have known for a while that the active phase of mothering is complete. I have been living in this transition piece for many years. Watching my daughter launch herself so gorgeously. If you know her, then you know what I am talking about. @haileymarino Watching my son deepen into a man. Who he is touches my heart deeply. His wisdom and sense of humor and adventure. Swoon. PART 2 IN COMMENTS

I’m in love with who I am. It certainly wasn’t always that way. I set out on a journey in 2016 that has led me down some incredible paths, both dark and light. I have been to the most challenging bottoms. I have felt completely hopeless and broke and have also experienced miracles and my own resilience and determination. I learned to truly LOVE myself through the heartache of beating myself up for the choices I made. I hated my choices and how it all landed. It was freaking hard. I have cultivated WISDOM that I never wanted, but now lives in my body as truth and compassion. Given this, how could I wish for the past to be different? I am extraordinarily grateful for the lessons. But they did not come easy. I am really happy with who I am now. I trust myself. I am honest, wise, intelligent, compassionate and funny. I meet life as it is to the best of my ability and have a lot of grace for myself now. There’s less and less perfection each day. I am entering this new cycle a brand new woman, and claiming myself exactly as I am. This is one of eve foundations of my 1:1 work. #womenswisdom #midlifetransformation #nineyearcycle #embodiedwoman #yinenergy

HOW I REBUILT SELF LOVE Day 3 Closing the 9 Year Collective Cycle / Part 2 Thank god for my daughter @haileymarino, and for our shared lineage and spiritual work. She saw our family survival pattern in herself way before I did, and began unwinding it in herself. That set off bells and whistles in my body. It felt excruciating to face, but my calling to be her mother, the mother she truly needed, is what called me forward. It was time to face the hard truths. I had to rise so I could fully hold myself as her mother. At the time, it was truly about being able to show up as her mother, more than doing it for myself. This calling is what eventually pulled me out of my pit of misery. I landed in reality started building the courage and self holding to be with my choices in a new way. To accept myself, to admit my mistakes and blind spots, to apologize, to stay present for the hurt and fall out it all caused. It took so much courage for me to face the truths of the mess I created. I slowly built up my capacity to hold the truths in my body without collapsing back into shame and regret. I have been intentionally building this part of my spine since 2021. Thank god I raised children to tell me the truth. Thank god I was raised to value family and I have the most devoted loving mother. Thank god my soul is deeply called to honesty and truth. Thank god for God carrying me through the fire. Once I faced the hard truths, I had the internal power to begin rebuilding my nervous system and my life to hold my new reality. I accepted that I may just live with regret my entire life. I started to separate my choices, patterns and addictions from my value and worth as a person. I was lovable. I did my best. I made mistakes. It also became clear that I recreated the lineage pattern of homelessness and survival in my maternal line. I literally recreated my grandmother’s survival story from the 1930’s, with a modern Brenda twist. This gave me deep compassion for myself. I was also unknowingly healing my family line. I began to tend to my inner child who was deeply hurt by my own parent’s divorce. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS

THE YEARS I COULD NOT LOVE MYSELF Day 3 of Closing the 9 Year Collective Cycle / Part 1 When my money ran out in 2018, I landed in a pit of despair. It was a felt sense of shock and horror. Complete embarrassment. I honestly had no idea who I even was. The absolute worst part for me was how I let my children down, made it so hard for them to not have a stable place to live. What kind of mother was I? I always saw myself as a respectable woman, wife, mother, teacher, making a steady salary, a beautiful home by the shore with vacations and nice cars. To find myself jobless and homeless was unfathomable. Yet there I was. My entire sense of self was shook. I have spent countless sleepless nights laying in bed looping through these years, going over my choices. By day, I traveled with my suitcase, from friend to friend’s place, pet sitting or staying with family, counting my pennies and praying for money to come my way. I was constantly on the move. It was exhausting - both physically and emotionally. I couldn’t find the inspiration to help myself in the deepest sense, and the only thing that kept me going was my children. The thought that I had to be there for them, I had to get through this for them is what pulled me through this dark time. I know now that taking good care of myself is the best thing I can ever do for my children. But in those years, I couldn’t find this kind of love for myself. All of my patterns, addictions and shadow had surfaced and it was hard to be with myself, hard to love and forgive myself. It was quite the crossroads for me. Somehow by the grace of God, and for my undying resilience, I caught a lifeline. I found a new way of being with my situation. I was able to zoom out a few layers and touch a gentle compassion for myself….for the hurt part of me that couldn’t accept, forgive or love myself. It was the doorway to coming back to myself over time. Part 2 HOW I REBUILT SELF LOVE coming soon…. #selflovejourney #selfdisgust #healingfromshame #rockbottom #womenshealing #survivalthenervoussystem #traumahealing #motherhoodtruth #lineagepatterns #generationalhealing #emotionalcollapse #healingthemotherline

Divorce was financially excruciating for me and for my family. And the perfect storm for my financial unconsciousness to rear it’s ugly head. I felt a spiritual completion and didn’t know how to bridge the time gap. We sold our family home for significantly less than we paid when the market was low. Honestly, it was a huge freaking mess. I remember the day I got the bank deposit from the house sale. I saw the number in my account and was wide-eyed and my jaw dropped. I felt a spaciousness and freedom I never experienced before. I had never seen that much cash, ever. In retrospect, it was way above my havingness level. I wasn’t prepared for that much money. I wish I had invested some of it or bought myself property. But instead, I traveled and lived in different cities. I flew my kids to wherever I was and my mom visited me too. We had family experiences that were truly wonderful. I lived in beautiful spaces and enjoyed the fuck out of little responsibility after decades of working and raising a family. Things were falling out from underneath me though. A huge bottom was when I missed a payment on my storage unit in New York. Not for lack of money, but lack of financial awareness. I was quite surprised to feel my own disorganization and scarcity. All the money in the world and I missed this payment. All of our family special items, my kid’s precious childhood memories in boxes were gone. Auctioned off. It was devastating and horribly embarrassing. I completely collapsed underneath the weight of this loss. After years of struggle, I have since forgiven myself. And my heart still pangs with the knowledge that my daughter lost her journals and rock collections, and my son lost his trophies and the special trinkets from his room. By 2018, I my bank account was pretty much empty. Since I also left my teaching career, I had no steady income and no place to live. I was horrified that I didn’t have a home for my children. Who was I? I realized I had recreated a lineage survival pattern of homelessness and desperation. PART 2 IN COMMENTS

I have been lovingly and meticulously closing out the past 9 year cycle. When I first learned that this cycle existed, bells went off in my body. TRUTH. I set out on a journey in 2016 that has led me down some incredible paths, both dark and light. I have been to the most challenging bottoms. I have felt completely hopeless and broke and have also experienced miracles and my own resilience and determination. I learned to truly LOVE myself through the heartache of beating myself up for the choices I made. I hated my choices and how it all landed. It was freaking hard. I have cultivated WISDOM that I never wanted, but now lives in my body as truth and compassion. Given this, how could I wish for the past to be different? I am extraordinarily grateful for the lessons. But they did not come easy. I am really happy with who I am now. I trust myself. I am honest, wise, intelligent, compassionate and funny. I meet life as it is to the best of my ability and have a lot of grace for myself now. There's less and less perfection each day. I am entering this new cycle a brand new woman, and claiming myself exactly as I am. Over the next week, I’ll be sharing the foundations of my transformation - the mess and the gifts. You might recognize yourself in some of it. xoxo #legacyoflove #womenshealing #midlifetransformation #generationalhealing #selftrust #embodiedwoman #nervoussystemhealing #innerwork #womenswisdom #healingjourney #personaltransformation #selfresponsibility #emotionalmaturity #consciousmotherhood #lineagehealing #somatichealing #womenover50 #secondact #spiritualawakening #selfacceptance #resilientwomen #healingthemotherline #womensleadership #authenticliving #integrationwork #healingcycles #femininewisdom #lifeinitiation #legacywork

How to Say No and Build Self Trust So many women learned to negotiate with themselves instead of listening to their gut. You may feel your NO, but there you are again, overriding it. Then you build a reason or an excuse that also feels obligatory to share. It’s not surprising that you feel tired, resentful, or flat. Your honesty and courage is needed to change this deeply grooved pattern. Clean language is one way we can interrupt this pattern. Saying no without a story retrains your nervous system. Saying yes without pressure reconnects you to desire. The pause is your most valuable tool in building your skill here, because it gives you time and space to check in with yourself. This is how you build self trust in real time. This clip is from Episode 123, YES / NO of the Desire as Medicine podcast. Link in bio. Do you struggle with speaking your true YES and NO? If so, book a call with me to chat about working together. 

We can work on these things and so much more: 
• Interrupting the habit of over explaining and self editing
• Learning to pause as a way to build self trust 
• Practicing clean, embodied communication
• Strengthening your capacity to be with others’ reactions
• Choosing honesty without abandoning yourself I would love to hear how this episode clip landed for you. Share in the comments or send me a message. And listen to Episode 123, Yes and No!

I needed to move my body so badly today I was starting to feel like my juice pulp crackers that are currently in the oven - stiff and crunchy? I’ve been having the best time this holiday season, at home with my kids both visiting. And mama needs some movement. 
Do you ever feel like you need to bust one out and then you feel SO MUCH BETTER?

My next Qoya class is January 17 - link in bio - join me! Let’s dance together and claim the 2026 possibility vibes. #qoya #qoyamovement #danceyourwayhome #somaticmovement #holiday2025

One Reason Saying Can No Feel So Hard Learning to say no is not always a communication skill - It is a nervous system practice. Most people actually know what they really want to & don’t want to do. It’s just that they struggle with staying present when someone else feels disappointed, confused, or uncomfortable. Because that can be SO UNCOMFORTABLE!

Historically that has been my biggest block. So the body reaches for relief and before you know, you’re overridding yourself, saying YES when you’re really a NO. It feels easier to deal with the cost later - but in reality, you’re kicking the can down the road. Boundary work is learning how to stay with sensation, yours and theirs, without abandoning yourself. This is a journey, and not about perfection. You may notice yourself doing this, and look back and say OH MY. But at least you noticed - that is a huge part of the journey. This clip is from Episode 122, Yes and No, of the Desire as Medicine podcast. Link in bio. Listen and let me know what you think! If you want to:
• Build capacity to tolerate other people’s discomfort (partner, kids, boss)
• Interrupt your default people pleasing patterns in real time
• Learning how to course correct in real time without shame Then message me about my private 1:1 work, Legacy of Love.

How I Find clarity as an Emotional Authority For emotional authority, clarity arrives when you stop pressuring yourself to make a decision and let life move you. This used to be ?HELL? for me. I’ve learned that letting the question sit, giving it space to breathe is actually my most powerful move. Pressure has never helped me decide. Instead, I go out into the world, interact with people and inevitably, out of nowhere, the answer lands in my body. I just need to be patient with myself and own that I need space to make a decision. In the moment the answer drops in, a portal of clarity opened. I’ve learned to act on this clarity to build trust with myself, and avoid mental looping. Because when you hesitate too long, the mind takes over and the loop begins. This is hell. ? This work is learning how to listen, then claim what you hear with action. My action steps may be calling a friend letting her know I made a decision, looking up flights or booking the train ticket. Do you struggle with decision making? 
This was 100% me in the past! I am so grateful I have learned how to work with myself and my emotional authority to have more ease in my decision making process. In my 1:1 work, Legacy of Love, we will work on:
• Understanding how your clarity arrives
• Releasing pressure to decide before your body is ready
• Turning insight into grounded action before self doubt creeps in
• Building trust through small, consistent actions
• Interrupting mental loops around decisions Share in the comments or send me a message about how this clip or episode landed for you. And listen to Episode 123, Yes and No. Thanks for listening ??

Responsibility is not the same as obligation and parenthood is a great example of this. When your child is small, you do not get to opt out of care. You get up, you hold them, breastfeed them, you care for their needs. And this does not always feel convenient. It’s not misalignment - it’s devotion. There’s so many pieces to this conversation. 
For example: How do you ask for help? What can you put down? How do you tend to your energy so caring for your children does not turn into resentment? This is a living conversation and changes as your children grow. Is this relatable? Book a call to talk about my 1:1 private work, Legacy of Love. We will work on these things and so much more:
• Clarifying your values as a parent and a woman
• Reducing resentment in motherhood and showing up for your family honestly
• Learning how to ask for support without guilt
• Creating sustainable rhythms so care does not drain you
• Honoring your needs without abandoning yourself or your family’s needs I would love to hear how this landed for you. Share in the comments or send me a message. And listen to Episode 121, Obligation Versus Desire.

Living in obligation only lasts so long because the price climbs quietly. Maybe you are miserable, over scheduled, snapping at people you love? This is not a personality flaw. It’s self abandonment. Obligation often looks responsible on the outside while eroding you from the inside. The wake up moment arrives when you admit you do not want to keep living this way. That moment of wake up can be confronting because it means you either need to change your behavior or choose to stay stuck and miserable. I get it, I have been there. This episode is rom Episode 121 of the Desire as Medicine podcast, Obligation Verses Desire. If this is you, reach out about private coaching with me, because we will focus on:
• Recognizing when obligation shows up as resentment, anger, or burnout
• Naming the hidden payoffs of people pleasing
• Seeing how self abandonment impacts your family and relationships
• Interrupting obligation patterns before they harden into resentment
• Building the capacity to choose what is best for you and your family
• Reclaiming your energy, honesty, and love I would love to hear how this landed for you. Share in the comments or send me a message. And listen to Episode 121, Obligation Versus Desire.

Do you ever just dance? For the fun of it? I dance every day…I’m really happy when I’m dancing?? And dancing with others is a whole different ballgame - feeling each others energy and having fun together. It’s a mood changer and a powerful reset for your nervous system. Hormones are released, like dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin, flooding your system with feelings of pleasure, connection, inspiration, focus and increases your mood, internal safety and is a stress reliever. I mean, wow ? Let’s dance together! Qoya Inspired Movement where we tap into our natural essence that we are like nature: wise, wild and free.

I hear from parents all the time how the day starts and ends with pressure. Part of why I left education is because it became all about pushing, production and testing ? Without rest and down time in our lives, we lose space for creativity and new thoughts to emerge. You lose your natural rhythm. Rest restores clarity and opens the space for imagination. Are you willing to be a little bored? ? In private coaching with me, we focus on your relationship with yourself:
• You learn to hear your own signals before exhaustion hits
• You build simple practices that reset your system fast
• You strengthen trust in your inner yes and your inner no This clip is from ✨Episode 120 Redefining Rest✨that ⚡️JUST DROPPED ⚡️of the Desire as Medicine podcast, link in bio.

It takes courage, resilience and yes, a little DELULU, to follow the path of desire when a clear path may not be obvious. You're putting one foot in front of the other, having no idea where the path may lead. But do you give up? No, keep TRUSTING, following the desire - the CALLING ON YOUR SOUL - that may or may not ever manifest. It's not about the manifesting. (although that is super fun) It's about FOLLOWING a vision you have for yourself and how it GROWS and EVOLVES you along the way. >>Your desires are prescribed specifically for you<< Your Vision Board is a visual reminder of what you want - bc let's face it - it’s easy to forget your desires as life gets busy. It’s easy to focus on problems or get caught up in our mistakes or what goes wrong. Following desire is a Dance of holding a vision, not gripping or attaching to what it may look like bcit may just be better than your wildest dreams! By creating a Vision Board, you're backing yourself. Every time you look at your VB you remember your desires and what they feel like in your heart/mind/soul. You are holding space for POSSIBILITY. ?So shall your desires be, and even better than they can imagine? Listen to my Desire as Medicine podcast, cohosted with the incredible @coachcatherinen to feel seen and inspired on your journey of desire. @desireasmedicinepodcast ? DM me for a private Vision Board session or to teach in your course/studio/class. Thank you to the amazing 11 woman who created VBs with me on Saturday and for @ritualyogaossining for hosting me. I had the best time creating with you all. xoxo Brenda #visionboard #visionboardworkshop #desirework #desiremapping #possibilitymindset #futurevision #manifestationpractice #intentionsetting #alignedaction #creativeclarity #dreamlifeenergy #innerguidance #selfconnection #embodieddesire #soulgoals #intuitionledlife #mindbodyconnection #newbeginningsenergy #trusttheunknown #expandyourvision #dreambiggerenergy #deluluera #delulumanifestation #quantumleaps #alignedlife #personalgrowthjourney #selfleadership #innerwisdom #energyshift #inspiredliving

I have been in DEEP REST and restoration mode since October. Staying home, eating nourishing foods, drinking green juice, keeping life simple. Yoga, walks on the beach, morning clearing calls with a friend. My body craved STILLNESS after a busy few months of wonderfulness. It has felt GLORIOUS to honor that need. I put my business down and let what wanted to emerge come forward ; QOYA. And a new business platform: Ivorey✨ I brought Qoya into my days - dancing! - and making fun playlists by the fire. The spaciousness of REST invited new energy, new desires, new inspiration. This has been just as GLORIOUS. I have felt creative fire, juicy energy, sexy aliveness, joy moving through my body. My goodness this is incredible. I was reading about the jaguar who rests and feasts in perfect harmony. Jaguars feel no urgency. When they have a need, they honor it and I have very much been experiencing this lately. And it feels amazing.

Qoya is based on the idea that through movement, we remember. We remember our essence is, like nature, wise, wild and free. And that we are all woven together, with each other and with nature. Wise Wild Free is the wisdom we call on in a Qoya class. WISE calls on the spirit of contemplative practice, yoga, meditation and stillness. Those moment when we FEEL it in your bones, we know it in our gut. WILD calls on the opportunity for authentic expression in dance. A flower blooming wouldn’t say am I too much? No it just blooms - getting curious for full expression and how to feel natural and wild. FREE calls on intuitive ways of moving to choose what feels best to you. We have a choice point to explore and acknowledge where to put our attention , the freedom to choose what would be most nourishing and supportive right now? In all these practices, in Qoya, know there is no way you can do it wrong, and the way you know you’re doing it right is when you’re on the path of staying connected to yourself. ??? ?? ??? ???? ???? ???? ?? ? ??? ???? ??? ???? ???? ???? ????????? ???? ?? ?? ????????, ???????? ?? ?? ??-?:???? ??? ?L???? ?? ??? ????????✨ Link in bio or DM me. ???'? ????? ????????? #qoya #qoyamovement #qoyaclass #wisewildfree #movementpractice #somaticmovement #dancepractice #intuitivemovement #embodiedmovement #embodimentcoach #mindbodyconnection #womenswellness #womenwhodance #movementheals #somatichealing #yogainspired #meditationpractice #authenticexpression #feminineenergy #healyourbody #healyourlineage #traumahealingjourney #selfconnection #selftrust #selfcarepractice #nourishyoursoul #danceclass #consciousmovement #communityhealing #lightinthedarkness

I never thought I'd be someone to try intermittent fasting. I am cracking up that I am even writing these words. But when we claim our desire, it takes us on a RIIIIIIDE. My desire to be strong in my body, and have vibrant well being in my body in my menopausal years is driving most of what I do these days. This has not been an easy path, because coded in my body are strong generational messages of being sedentary and fragile as I age. I am such a huge no this that. Yet, these codes live inside of me so I have been working with my own resistance, self sabotage and doubt. Coded body messages can't be overridden, they need to be worked with lovingly, slowly, one thread at a time. Perimenopause and menopause have been a huge wake up call for me. What I've always known about my body simply does not apply anymore. I have been learning so much and changing one thing at a time, one day at a time. It has been a quite humbling journey. I also began my second Saturn Return a few months ago. So this all feels right on schedule. I can feel myself being molded and shaped into the next version of myself. It feels GREAT. I fasted for 20 hours yesterday to hit autophagy and create deeper healing and efficiency of my cells. I slept for 9 of these hours and feel grounded and smooth in my body today. One of the most humbling parts of this for me is how much being held in my beautiful beach home this winter is allowing this to all unfold for me. Part 2 + Dance Invite in Comments ??

Our biggest desires ask us to grow and evolve. One of my biggest desires is to have my beautiful home to hold us in our life, love and creativity. I have been in movement for many years and have learned so much on this journey, and I feel this leg of my journey coming to a natural close with us landing in our beautiful home. Home has been a theme my whole life. I have had it, lost it, chased it and deeply desired it. I hold the vision with courage and trust as it continues to unfold. What is your relationship with HOME? Please dance with me to honor our shared relationship with HOME. Sunday November 16 at 4-5:15pm est, I am hosting a Qoya Inspired Movement class with the theme of HOME. You are invited to dance your relationship with home and remember you are wise, wild and free. Link to register in my bio.

What if you prioritized a relationship with your own body? What would be different in your life if you truly listened to what she is telling you? What if you got curious with yourself, instead of trying to fix things and solve every problem? 
Slowing down and getting curious builds sovereignty. 
Knowing your body is priceless in a world where being disconnected from your body is encouraged and profited form. I offer private coaching and help my clients: * Build trust with yourself * Develop clarity instead of living in reactive mode and overwhelm * Pause and return to yourself in real time From Episode114 of the Desire as Medicine podcast, link in bio. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, and what your relationship with is with your own body, and how you would like to deepen that relationship. #desireasmedicine #selfconnection #somatichealing #bodywisdom #healingjourney #nervoussystemregulation #embodimentpractice #feminineembodiment #motherhoodsupport #selftrust #presence #slowdown #emotionalawareness #groundedliving #innerstrength #boundarieswork #somaticcoach #relationshiptoyourbody #healingpatterns #stressrecovery #restislegitimate #consciousmothering #centeringpractice #personalgrowthjourney #thereturntoyourself #healingcommunity #coachingforwomen #embodimentcoach #desirework

Do you have any of these characters in your family? Which one are you? ? It's good to laugh at the protections and identities we create to stay safe, and to feel like we belong. Gosh, how much we want to belong! Do you need help taking off your masks? Also, how do you deal with family members who wear these masks? How do you hang out with them at holidays and dinners, and not revert back to your own reactive mask wearer? Reach out to me about my private work, Legacy of Love. Or book a Constellation Session. Both of these will get things moving for you as we enter holiday season.

A relationship with your body is everything. It’s the only way to have a truly sovereign life. If you’re disconnected from your body, overriding what she says, and have no boundaries, it’s time to reconnect with yourself. When you reconnect with your body, you reconnect with yourself. This is the starting point of your future. I have lived the pain of disconnection and hold my clients through the pain of it. The practice of returning to your body is the path back to yourself. What you receive in private coaching with me: * You learn to track your physical signals so your decisions come from your center * You speak your desires with clarity instead of confusion * You build steadiness during stress so you stay grounded and clear This clip is from Episode 114 of the Desire as Medicine podcast, link in bio.

We build self-trust by listening to what we need and then acting on it. Life was never meant to be perfect, and you were not meant to live in constant exhaustion or endurance. Your fullness, truth, and voice are needed, in your family, your relationships, your work, and your business or work. If you want change, please know it is possible, even when it feels uncertain. Change asks for your courage...the courage to take astep, even when you’re scared and the path is unknown. Book a Discovery Call to explore working together. Being supported makes all the difference. You were not meant to do this alone. #selftrust #selflove #healingjourney #womensupportingwomen #courage #selfcompassion #innerwork #emotionalhealing #mindbodyconnection #transformation #authenticity #selfawareness #boundaries #healingrelationships #innerchildhealing #selfgrowth #healingfromwithin #motherhoodjourney #reclaimyourself #trustyourpath #personaldevelopment #healingcoach #embodiment #selfacceptance #wellbeing #growthmindset #resilience #lifecoachforwomen #emotionalresilience #desireasmedicine

Rest. Coast. Take a nap. Not every day is meant for deep internal work or breaking patterns. Some days are just harder than others, and that’s ok. What a great opportunity to be gentle and loving with yourself. Go on a walk, bake a cake or invite a friend to a movie. Go to bed early and get some good sleep. Sleep is restorative and healing. Personally, I don’t believe my thoughts at night when I’m tired and emotional. I just tuck myself in, remind myself it’s okay to pause and remind myself that tomorrow is a new day. ??? #RestIsProductive #SlowMotherhood #SelfLoveJourney #GentleParenting #MamaNeedsRest #HealingThroughRest #DesireLedLiving #MotherhoodUnplugged #IntentionalLiving #SacredRest #SelfCompassion #RadicalRest #NurtureYourself #RestAndReceive #MindfulMotherhood #SoftLiving #ReclaimRest #FeminineEnergy #EmotionalWellbeing #InnerPeace #RestIsRevolutionary #MotherhoodAndMe #EmbodiedLiving #PermissionToRest #LoveYourselfFirst #MamaCare #AlignedLiving #RestMatters #DesireIsDivine #RestForMamas

There was a time life and desire felt like a checklist - chasing, controlling and perfection.
Now, I have built a solid relationship with myself and desire built on trust. I follow the breadcrumbs. I listen. I let go of what isn’t aligned. I trust trust trust, even when it’s not going my way or I don’t understand the path before me. 
And in that surrender, I find freedom. The spaciousness of this creates space for magic and miracles. ? From Episode 112 of the Desire as Medicine podcast — link in bio. In private coaching, this is the heart of what we practice together. Learning to trust your process, discern your truth, and move from control to surrender. Here’s what you’ll experience when we work together: * Guidance in releasing perfectionism and softening control * Tools to listen to your body and trust the timing of your life * Clarity about which desires are truly aligned and which are distractions * When you trust your process, life stops being something to manage. It becomes something to meet. Links in bio to schedule a call about working together in my signature program Legacy of Love. Or book yourself a Constellation Session.

True story? Claim your desire. You’re worth it. And be compassionate with yourself when you forget. It’s so natural to forget because the old ways are literally baked into our cells.

✨ After 3 years and 112 episodes of the Desire as Medicine podcast, we took a pause to check in on our own relationship with desire. Ooooooh this was a good one! Some desires feel alive, easy, and natural ?. Others feel sticky, challenging, and uncertain ?. Both hold wisdom. Brenda shared about building physical strength at 57 through pole dancing, a desire born from wanting to shift health patterns in her family lineage ???. Catherine opened up about her uncertainty around retirement planning, showing how some desires ask us to slow down and take a different approach.

✨ After 3 years and 112 episodes of the Desire as Medicine podcast, we took a pause to check in on our own relationship with desire. Ooooooh this was a good one! Some desires feel alive, easy, and natural 🌱. Others feel sticky, challenging, and uncertain 🌊. Both hold wisdom.

Sometimes growth starts with tears. Well, for me lately it completely has! ? 
Every time I go to pole dancing, I feel that mix of “I can’t” and “I want to.” The frustration, the resistance, the vulnerability. But by the end, I’m doing it. Maybe not perfectly, but I’m moving through the hard part and into my own strength. That moment of “I didn’t think I could, but I did” is where transformation lives.?? ?

Living our best life isn’t just about releasing what no longer serves us, it’s also about receiving the gifts of our lineage. Letting in the love, the wisdom, the resilience, the joy. Our ancestors left us more than just their struggles. They left us their strength, their creativity, their devotion. We get to choose what we carry forward. We get to let it in. What’s one ancestral gift you’re ready to receive more fully? I want to know, tell me! DM me about my private work, Legacy of Love, to receive the gifts of your lineage by clearing out the stagnant frustration and resentment. Or book a Constellation Session.

Michelangelo created his incredible marble statues by carving away what did not belong, revealing the figure already hidden inside the stone. That’s how I see the generational work I do with women. Each time we follow desire, heal an old pattern, or release what isn’t ours to carry, we uncover more of who we truly are. Our beauty has always been present, our true self is right there, waiting for us to reveal it, claim it and be it. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung Message me to learn about working together to create your own Legacy of Love, all by being YOU in this lifetime. #femininespine #legacyoflove #desireasmedicine #embodiedwisdom #selfhealing #authenticliving #innergrowth #healingjourney #womenswisdom #sacredfeminine #emotionalhealing #generationalhealing #somaticwisdom #soulwork #bodywisdom #truthseeker #inneralchemy #divinefeminine #consciousliving #selftrust #embodimentpractice #mindbodyconnection #healingfromwithin #awakeningwomen #selfawareness #spiritualgrowth #selfacceptance #innerstrength #personaltransformation #heartcentered

A peek into my morning rituals, lovingly built over the past 20 years. I don’t always wake up full of joy, clarity, or possibility. ? (Though some days, I do!) But that’s the beauty of ritual - it’s alchemical⚗️ Each morning, I move through practices I’ve created for my mind, body, and soul. I release fear, clear out crunchy thoughts, and come home to myself. This is what self-responsibility in our life looks like. We’re not just physical beings; we need support on every level - emotional, mental, spiritual. I’m so grateful to begin my day this way. And no, life doesn’t have to be perfect to make it happen. I started this while teaching full-time with young kids at home. Want support building your own morning ritual? Message me to get started. It’s my zone of genius!

When the next generation heals something we haven’t, it can feel confronting. It can be quite an ego hit.
 Or it can be used as information to heal something inside of you that is asking for your love and attention. 
In doing so, it opens the door for more compassion, for ourselves, our children and for our parents. This is exactly the kind of thing I work on with my private clients. If you feel called to do this deep work with me, set up a Discovery Call. In private coaching with me, you will: * Break free from inherited family patterns * Build healthier, more loving connections with your children * Create space for compassion toward yourself and your parents Would love to hear your reflections in the comments. ❤️ From Episode 110 of the Desire as Medicine podcast – link in bio. #desireasmedicine #healingjourney #mothersanddaughters #familyhealing #ancestralhealing #motherhoodunplugged #breakingpatterns #consciousmotherhood #selfgrowth #healinggenerations #healingpatterns #intergenerationalhealing #selfreflection #compassionpractice #gentlemothering #healingrelationships #motherdaughterbond #lovingkindness #healingwithlove #familytransformation #healingconversations #growthmindset #emotionalhealing #cyclebreaker #generationalhealing #healingwork #healingtogether #parentingwithlove #legacyoflove #healingstories

Carl Jung said, “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” This is what drives us, what holds our desires and our callings in life. We want to live out our fullest, most authentic expression in our lifetime. We are here to evolve. Yet we are also born into a family with history. Our lineage is a meaty stew of the lifeforce, choices, and experiences from seven generations before us. And our choices today ripple into seven generations after us. What a WILD and TRUE miracle, huh? It matters what our grandparents did, because we are carrying forward pieces of their lives. Our bodies hold their traumas, their unspoken loyalties, and their gifts. When we bring awareness to this, we open the possibility of change. We can choose what continues and what ends. We can honor the gifts while releasing the burdens. This is the heart of generational healing...becoming who we truly are, while freeing the path for those who come after us. Hi, I'm Brenda and I help women build confidence, self love and self trust while untangling complicated relationships and patterns, so you can be who you truly are in this life.

Today was a huge win for me?? I’ve been showing up - sticking with it through the tough moments: the doubt, the inner voices telling me to quit or that I’m not strong enough. I’ve been working through the inherited belief that lives in my body that run completely counter to my desire to build strength. Just last week, I could barely hold first position. I didn’t have the strength to climb even one level, let alone reach the top. Today, I climbed the pole!!! I’m celebrating every inch of that effort. What desire is brewing inside you that makes you want to cringe?

Our soul signs up for the long game! 20 years, 40 years, a lifetime of learning. The human part of us is not always so eager ?because growth can be messy and hard. There’s a turning point, though, when we start to meet the lessons instead of resisting them. We can even start to enjoy it… like that famous meme of putting the boot on our own head and saying, “Okay, let’s do this.” ? Ready to lean in to your own growth? And stop beating yourself up? And meet the lessons with compassion? In private coaching with me, you will: * Break free from perfection and regret * Recenter in love, presence, and aliveness * Create new patterns of self-acceptance and connection with yourself, your children, your parents and relationships

Shifting from right vs. wrong into growth and practice has been life-changing for me. When we shift our lens from Pass / Fail, Win / Lose, an entire new world becomes possible.

Commitment to myself and my desires is one of my highest values. My desires call me toward the highest version of myself, and I trust their intuitive pull. I’m committed to myself and my body. Vibrant well-being and showing up for myself daily ? is where the juice is. To have the life I want, to feel like ME in my body, to live in vibrant health means building strength in perimenopause. It feels powerful to rewrite my inherited story. It takes real commitment and holding myself through the hard parts, especially when the voices say to give up. And it means celebrating every win, no matter how small it may seem. It’s possible to change our inherited beliefs and choose a new path for ourselves.⚡️⚡️⚡️ If you’re feeling the pull to choose differently for yourself, reach out about private coaching or schedule a constellation session.

Caring for aging parents often brings a big role reversal. It asks so much of our time, energy, and hearts. ❤️ The question becomes: how do you stay connected to desire while tending to your parents? For me, it’s all about slowing down, simplifying, and remembering to give myself what I need so I can show up with love. If you’re caring for parents, and maybe children too, it’s easy to lose yourself in the demands of both. My 1:1 coaching offers you a place to breathe, reset, and find clarity. Here’s how our work together supports you:
✨ Create boundaries that honor your needs while still caring for others
✨ Break cycles of stress and confusion in your family dynamics
✨ Recenter yourself so you feel grounded, resourced, and clear Send me a message if you’re ready for support in navigating the complexity of caregiving while staying true to yourself ❤️ This clip is from Episode 106 of the Desire as Medicine podcast – link in bio.?

Part of being a woman who sits with her desire is that What we wanted yesterday might not hit today. ? 
Desire shifts and evolves. Part of our work as women is learning to honor that truth, approve of it, and then communicate it, whether that’s with a partner, a friend, or ourselves.

Let’s get In approval of that and learn to communicate it. ?️ This clip is from Episode 104 ?Reclaiming Your Turn-On: Why Desire Fluctuates and How to Keep It Alive? of the Desire as Medicine podcast (link in bio).

Exercising feels different now than it has ever felt before. I have always done activities that challenged me physically, but I can honestly and humbly say I have never experienced this level of resistance in my body. In June, I received a downloaded message in pilates and two clear paths were shown to me. One of medicines and illness, the other of working hard and being healthy and vibrant. It was clear that I was choosing health and movement and I firmly committed. A few weeks later I hurt my knee teaching Qoya. I paused everything except swimming, let it heal, and then slowly got back to it for the past few weeks. Then I got bronchitis last week! I see many examples of women in their 50s+ excelling at incredible things like martial arts, running, dancing and strength training. Those examples are so inspiring and motivating, but they don't live in my body. (yet) Yet I feel so deeply called to this path. Our bodies and systems are very intelligent and I respect that intelligence immensely. We are wired to choose the actions that preserve loyalty and belonging with our family, even when those choices go against what we consciously want. This is where awareness, discernment and titration come in. To consciously choose something different is possible, and in doing so, we are often faced with deep reistance that tries to keep us loyal to the old way. I see this as love. My system is trying to keep me safe by belonging. I used to rebel against these kinds of things, but rebellion is still being in the pattern - it hasn't been alchemized yet. True change requires us to love the very thing we want to change. It lives inside of us, and why would we want to hate or rebel against any part of ourselves? All of our parts need our love. We cannot hate ourselves into transformation. Part 2 in comments

Those examples are so inspiring and motivating, but they don't live in my body. (yet) Yet I feel so deeply called to this path. Our bodies and systems are very intelligent and I respect that intelligence immensely. We are wired to choose the actions that preserve loyalty and belonging with our family, even when those choices go against what we consciously want. This is where awareness, discernment and titration come in. To consciously choose something different is possible, and in doing so, we are often faced with deep reistance that tries to keep us loyal to the old way. I see this as love. My system is trying to keep me safe by belonging. I used to rebel against these kinds of things, but rebellion is still being in the pattern - it hasn't been alchemized yet. True change requires us to love the very thing we want to change. It lives inside of us, and why would we want to hate or rebel against any part of ourselves? All of our parts need our love. We cannot hate ourselves into transformation. Part 2 in comments
For women, self-denial, martyrdom, and deprivation are celebrated. So when we finally give ourselves what we’ve been craving, whether it’s food, pleasure, rest, sex, or something we’ve longed for, it’s easy to slip into shame or regret. Here’s the truth: that’s okay, too. 
Every experience has a place on the map. 
Awareness of all these places is the key to creating the life you want. ❤️ ?️Clip from Episode 102: Hungry Ghosts: When Desire Becomes Insatiable Link in bio to book a Discovery Call and to listen to the full episode ?? #selfnourishment #womensupportingwomen #selflovejourney #healingjourney #selfacceptance #womenempowerment #selfcarematters #bodywisdom #reclaimyourpower #healyourself #nourishyoursoul #pleasureactivist #healingforwomen #shamerelease #embodiedliving #womenwhorise #selfloveclub #selfcarefirst #permissiontothrive #innerhealing #nourishyourself #feminineenergy #personalgrowthjourney #healingfromwithin #loveyourselffirst #mindbodyconnection #femininepower #healyourbody #selfhealers #choosenourishment

I just listened to our most recent podcast episode, and I was moved to tears. Catherine and I really nailed this one. I shared a story from years ago in my marriage when I didn’t know how to voice a desire I had. So I dropped it and grew resentful. This over and over again is a relationship killer. It never occurred to me back then that I could keep showing up as a woman who owns and holds her desires, without getting stuck on If or How they would ever happen. Desire truly wants to be expressed? Period. I used to keep it all in. It would get trapped inside me, and my mind would take over, spinning stories that made me, my relationship, and him all wrong. I cried after listening to this episode because hindsight makes it all so clear. But the truth is, we have to go through it to truly embody the lesson. I’m so grateful to now be a woman who knows and expresses her desires, big and small. Listen to episode 101, Desire vs. Discontent: What Your Frustration is Trying to Tell You.

I take space clearing quite seriously. I give myself ample time to get myself ready & eat well so I feel grounded and ready to hold space for someone’s family constellation. Women come to me with such deep personal gorgeous truths, desires and pains. ?? I clear the space of anything not in the highest good of either of us, and our families and loved ones. Then I welcome our ancestors and spiritual guides who want to support us in the deep journey we are about to embark on. What is truly magical about constellations is that we are putting attention on the unseen, the hidden and often entangled dynamics that are still playing out in our lives. Just being in the knowing field with love and intention has so much power. After a session, there’s little to do except take care of yourself and allow the shifts and revelations to emerge. The work is in showing up to the session, the willingness to speak what is heavy on your heart, or what you’ve been silently carrying all these years, to face it, and feel it. I hold my clients through this and it’s such a privilege for me to do so. DM me about a Family Constellation session.

Sometimes I feel it so clearly, a quiet hum in my body, like something ancient is rolling around in me. It’s not just mine. It’s my mother’s, her mother’s and so on.... All the women who came before me. Their breath lives in my body. Their stories, spoken and unspoken, pulse through my blood. I used to think it was just me, overgiving, overfunctioning, holding the weight of everyone else’s needs. But now I know: this is the voice of the lineage. And it’s asking to be heard. Lately, when those familiar patterns rise up, I pause. I sit with the ache. I ask: Is this mine? Is this old? Is there another way that aligns with my desires more? This work is quiet and slow, and important. Every time I choose honesty over silence, boundaries over resentment, rest over proving, I am honoring my ancestors and offering something new for my life. Solidifying the life I really want. If you're feeling the rub too, if something deep inside is whispering to you, and you want guidance navigating it, then let's GO. ?

So many of us carry things that were never ours to begin with. When we look around, we may see the way it’s always been done, and it's easy to get caught in the limitation that "this is how it is" and "this is how it always needs to be" You are the architect of your life, and you get to decide how you want to live. Even when it feels impossible, it is possible. I shine my light for you to KNOW that something different is possible and available. If you want it, it wants you. Your work is to trust your desire and lean in to the mystery of the unfolding. I am here to back you while you walk this path. You can have the life you desire, for yourself and your family. If any of these blind spots hit home, know you’re not alone. If this speaks to you, and if you’re feeling called to go deeper, DM me about my Legacy of Love offerings.

The mother is the heart of the home. What she does shapes her family and her home environment. When she knows this in her bones, doors of possibility open for everyone she encounters. She knows that prioritizing herself matters. She is honest and vulnerable, sets boundaries, and leads with love. She raises emotionally secure children who feel safe to express themselves, and she makes space for them to fall or fail, and build resilience. And the men? They rise to meet her. When a woman stands fully in her power, she naturally invites her partner to rise into his. This is not about perfection, it’s about showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process. Looking back, I wanted to say to the mothers of my struggling students: Do you see the environment you’re creating? Do you see how fear is steering the family? How, without meaning to, you block the very things you say you want? You can change this...by starting with yourself. Hi ? I’m Brenda and I help women claim their power by untangling stuck relationships with themselves, their children, parents and family (whether living, passed or estranged) unlocking their greatest potential and deepest joy.

It is POSSIBLE to shift your family dynamics. The fight that happened between the siblings years ago, sitting there like a casserole on the dinner table that nobody wants to talk about... The aunt who never comes to family functions anymore because "she" will be there, and you really miss your aunt... The uncle who shows up to every gathering but always drinks too much, and everyone walks on eggshells, pretending not to notice... The way your mother asks you about your life in a way that makes you cringe... What feels impossible to change, is QUITE POSSIBLE. Sometimes, we move toward resolution through direct conversation. But other times, (and here's the magic) the way in is indirect, through the energetic field that holds everything your family system couldn’t say or didn’t know how to heal. This is where I come in. In a Family Constellation Session, I hold space for you to explore these unseen dynamics in a way that’s deeply transformative. It's PURE MAGIC. Because we are working with the field of POTENTIALITY...the realm beyond logic, beyond blame, beyond the black-and-white thinking we often bring to family relationships. I could share dozens of stories with you from my own life in which I worked out an awkward, painful situations that resolved in the most unbelievable ways. This is a gift of mine. Now I finally have a grounded structure to offer it to others. It's different from intuitive coaching, just as powerful. In these sessions, I work with 'the field' calling in ancestors, inviting unseen resources and opening to possibilities your mind could never plan for. What happens? Doors open, unexpected texts and phone calls appear, tension dissolves, people soften in ways that seemed impossible. Are you ready? QUANTUM Family Constellation Sessions with me start at $150 -link to book in my bio or DM me. #familyconstellation #systemichealing #ancestralhealing #intergenerationaltrauma #quantumhealing #somatichealing #sacredfamilywork #emotionalinheritance
You can't plan flow. But that doesn't mean I haven't tried. Like, yesterday.? Flow comes from letting go of things being any specific way. Allowing the grid to fill in with magic and miracles. I am fully down for planning, scheduling and calendaring, Oh gosh I love that so much. A solid structure / container is important and in service to creativity, abundance and flow. But you can't plan every little thing. (said the Triple Virgo, y'all) I got caught in a perfectionist trap yesterday - trying to plan every detail and make it just so. There was a lot involved in my day yesterday, a lot of moving pieces, a lot of texts coming my way, and I got underneath it for a bit. It's exhausting to my brain, my body. My entire being. That's how I know I am not in a state of openness - I feel heavy and stuck. Because there's force and will in perfectionism - the very things that block flow. Doors open and we have serendipitous things happen in our travels when we are open to receiving what life wants to offer us. When we try to plan every detail, we block flow. I realized I was doing this yesterday morning as I was getting ready to head out to my niece's graduation. Thank goodness for sisterhood - friends who hold me in love and truth, and tell me the truth in loving ways. Thank goodness I am in approval of when I get stuck in my mind, and for the process of alchemy - turning tightness + overthinking into ease + flow. By being present with what was happening inside of me... The space opened for true grace and flow. For magic and miracles, laughter and ease. And I had the best day ?? Traveling 5+ hours in 3 states - picking up my son, my sister, going to the chiropractor for my hurt knee on the way. Easy travels, being early, spaciousness and so much laughter and love with my family. This is the life I am turned on by - the legacy I am creating - doing what I love, being in my body and fully available for the magic, money and miracles life wants to give me. ? Me at my HS, where I graduated 39 years ago, and where my niece graduated yesterday.
You can't plan flow. But that doesn't mean I haven't tried. Like, yesterday.😂 Flow comes from letting go of things being any specific way. Allowing the grid to fill in with magic and miracles.
