I grew up a people pleaser, a "good girl", always more acquainted with what was desired *of* me, rather than what I desired. I measured my worth by how others perceived my goodness rather than what was authentic, joyful and peaceful for me (which, of course, *is* my goodness). This all changed when I found myself in a narcissistic relationship and through a series of excruciatingly painful lessons, my life invited me home to myself. I really trust my life in that way - I am her eternal student.
- After my fourth miscarriage and surgical loss of a reproductive organ, I found the eastern medicine of Sexual Alchemy. The knowledge I gained helped me deeply heal my relationship with my body after loss, and shortly after I was able to carry my last child to term. It brought me into relationship with my wholeness as a woman and has *I don't say this lightly* transformed my life. I love sharing the wisdom of these ancient teachings - it is the Divine Feminine Rising in action.
-I am a 2/4 Emotional Manifestor in Human Design and an enneagram 9. My big 3: Leo rising, Capricorn sun, Libra moon. Plus my north node is in the 8th house (house of sexuality and transformation, so here we are!) I’m here to embody peace, and hold the vision for the new way to live and be and thrive- to be a paradigm shifter - a starter, with no need to be a finisher. Would've been so great to know that in school ya knowww.
- Because my writing comes across somewhat poetic and overtly sincere (a curse of earnestness if you will) ...I think people are always surprised that my sense of humor in person is sarcastic and irreverent.
- I am inspired by our children. Your children. My children. Ugh! They are the key - the wise elders of our new earth in little bodies. I know I am part of my children's genetics, but their souls are not mine, and I love learning from their unique expressions of themselves. My youngest son said to me the other day "well I'm younger than you mom so that means I know more" and tbh ... yeah. Intuitive, resourced, reciprocative motherhood is my sweet spot.
- Restful living is second nature to me.
- I grew up on the band Chicago, and they're my karaoke of choice.
- I think a comedy show, custom fitted to your sense of humor, is as deeply spiritually nourishing as a morning meditation with sound bowls.
- My favorite movie is About Time. IT'S SO UNDERRATED. That scene on the beach with the father and son?? Ugly cry. Every time.
- I love having my world-views challenged. I have a deep curiosity for all the mysteries and complexities and nuances of the universe. I think anything is possible. Not like in the Disney way, but in the way where I’m highly aware of how little our 5 (even 6) senses must be able to pick up. My library is filled with books on ancient medicine, eastern and native spirituality, and world religions. My hobbies mainly involve contemplating how the physical and spiritual realms interact and collide, the wisdom and intricacies of our body, of our Mother earth, of the emotional ancestry of our DNA, and also aliens, and ghost stories, and near death experiences, and how maybe when Jesus said to be like a little child, perhaps he was talking about returning to our innate knowing, and presence, and sense of humor, and wonder, and fullest expression, and curiosity, more than he was talking about being, like, obedient. This is my brain.
- The truest archetypes running through my soul are The Visionary, The Spiritual Seeker, and The Artist. Finessing and refinement and making art out of life is where I reside.
