In 2020 I found myself sitting in my car outside of the place I was living at the time, mindlessly scrolling on my phone.  I was too numb to move. For hours.

In opening up about this “nervous system shutdown” - as I now understand it to be, women nod their heads… “Yes…me too.”

How often is it that we think we are alone?

Even in this habit, which was repeated night after night, there was purpose.

Everything in my life was breaking… 

Looking back I now understand that so many things had to die in order to create space for what was meant to be next.  

4 years in a row my life has brought me through 4 distinct seasons of healing.  They each have a name.  They each have a purpose.  As these seasons were being revealed and I was learning what the purpose of each was, I coined this phrase:  “We can only grow from where we actually ARE, not from where we pretend to be.”  I had to learn to slow down…way down.  To be where my feet were planted.  To be honest with myself.  To stop numbing.  To reflect on the lessons I was really learning.  I had to learn how to BE.

These seasons will repeat throughout our lives as we never fully arrive this side of heaven, but the beauty is that this framework has provided. clarity about what I need and why.  It has provided an avenue for me to heal from years of shame.  My heart is to hand you these same tools.

In so many of my darkest moments, women have held space for me, and caught me, in ways often unexpected.  My invitation for you is to BE HERE.  You are LOVED, SEEN & KNOWN on your journey of becoming, just like I have been held over and over again.
