“Our pain is always connected to our purpose…each of us get to figure out how.”

THRIVE

In the space and with an emerging vision, you are now walking in it. You feel “in step” with yourself and are ready to do the work of establishing routines that truly nourish your body, mind, and spirit.

The glimmers are real.

Welcome to THRIVE friend.

My personal seasons of thrive are marked by launching new programs, pouring into my kids, being comfortable in my own skin, and loving my alone time!

As we continue to heal, walk, and serve, life will again wake us up. It’s always like the next layer of the onion. May you continue to use the seasons as a personal framework for how to navigate in the midst of hardships, confusion, breakthroughs, and joy. A reminder that where you are is KNOWN, and that you are held.

Intention in how we nourish our body, brain, and spirit paves a path for longevity instead of burnout.

DO THE WORK

  • You have done the work of tuning into your body. You’ve realized that your body truly knows and you’re learning how to trust what it needs and when.

    When purpose is clear and energy levels are high, it’s natural to want to go go go. This only leads to burnout. Keep establishing routines where you make space to LISTEN.

  • In order for our food to be digested properly and provide nourishment to our bodies, our circulatory system must be well supported.

    Emotionally, the heart is the “seat” of the mind. A well-regulated heartbeat provides the foundation for warmth, enthusiasm, and connection in relationships. The ability to “see” and serve another human.

  • Our nose is the only place where our vagus nerve meets the outside world. Our vagus nerve transmits signals from our body to our brain. Because our body holds everything that has ever happened to us, we can access information about root cause via our olfactory bulb.

  • Psalm 1 - Because the Lord holds us, each season bears fruit. But this is the season where you likely “see” it the most clearly.

    Psalm 46 - Reflect on how what you are creating in your life has eternal value that can NOT be destroyed.

    Psalm 47 - Read this Psalm and then turn on your favorite worship song and rejoice.

    Psalm 56 - God gives us our only true “life-giving light.”

THE BLEND

“NOURISH” your body+mind+spirit as you walk in purpose

What does it look like to surround yourselves with humans, media, relationships, and routines that are truly nourishing? This blend will assist you in quieting the noise and saying “no” with certainty in order to prevent burnout.

REVIEW THE JOURNEY

(be where you are to get to where you are meant to be)

  • Awakening.

    A realization that life can't go on as it has been. Often sparked by an event. Often the most difficult because we can't see hope up ahead.

    Go to Awakening

  • Dying.

    Learning to walk in the dark. Acute pain. Marked by clinging to familiar routines and an uncovering of beliefs that may no longer work. Everything is breaking to make space for what’s to come.

    Go to dying

  • New Hope.

    The darkness is fading. Your body, mind and spirit have room to notice newness. You are noticing who you are surrounded by and have developed new patterns of living. Space to notice was created in the breaking.

    Go to New Hope

  • Thrive.

    Clearer vision. A commitment to creating a life you love. Filled with purpose. Emotions are welcomed because they are seen as information rather than decision makers. You feel known - first and foremost by yourself.

    Go to Thrive

SOMATIC RELEASE

In every moment of every day our brain/body are watching for cues that may signal danger so that it can respond.

Commonly understood as “fight or flight” our body shifts from a state of rest into a state of ACTION. 

Unfortunately, many of us are walking around with trauma stored in our bodies, lowering our threshold and capacity for life’s stressors.  We shift TOO quickly and then get stuck in “survival mode.”  

What does it look like for a human to heal?  AKA, have a regulated nervous system with capacity for REAL life? 

“The greatest gift we can give to another is a regulated nervous system.”

Our parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest, digestion, nourishment, and healing.

It is controlled primarily by cranial nerve 10, commonly known as our vagus nerve.

The vagus nerve serves as an on-off switch for our fight or flight response.  It is responsible for shifting the gears back and forth between our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.  

The vagus nerve ALSO is responsible for two way communication between our body and our brain.  

For this reason, there is a lot of effort being spent right now in understanding how to stimulate our vagus nerve, effectively returning our body to a state that allows for healing.  Our body can NOT heal when we are in survival mode.  There simply isn’t energy to spare.  What does it look like to activate our vagus nerve, gently coaxing our body into a safe state where healing is possible?

The ONLY PLACE our vagus nerve meets the outside world is through our olfactory bulb.

Hold up, WHAT?

80% of the signals that are sent by the vagus nerve are BODY TO BRAIN, with only 20% being BRAIN TO BODY.

If we want to understand what our body needs… it is sending a floodgate of information to our brain through the vagus nerve.

We can access this information through our olfactory bulb.

Once I understood this, I understood that the aromas my nose is drawn to is actually information about what my BODY NEEDS to return to a state of healing.

Releasing trapped emotions is possible through the use of dōTERRA essential oils.

The work is simple, but we get to actually do it.

  • "How did you learn how to work with women like me? You’re really good at your job. I feel more normal than I have in a long time."

  • "I never expected that to come up for me. This was so unexpected. I wouldn’t have given myself permission… You have a gift."

  • "Stephanie created a beautiful space for me in moving forward in healing a relationship, both with myself and my husband. "

  • "Stephanie is who I reach out to when I am stuck or in a swirl. Not only does she hold me high to my own values she has the unique ability of asking incredible questions"

  • "Fun, loving, present, Steph stands for you, holding space for you, very transparent and intuitive."
