There is more for you in this life.

Will we (re)claim our power, vision, voice and potential?

Or will we stop short. Stay numb. Escape our lives through a myriad of coping strategies. Become overcome with illness and disease. And perpetuate disconnection, dissociation, under-resourcing, hopelessness and (both overt and covert) violence on ourselves and each other because we cannot engage from a space of innate worthiness?

Nervous system healing and expansion work has continued to reveal the layers of me to me.

It has opened up my vision and my voice.

It has reminded me of my own power.

It has softened my grip on my own survival strategies and shifted me toward curiosity, awareness and agency.

And it has expanded my capacity to make choices and take aligned action in support of the life and world I want to co-create.

In February I pulled my business up out of the ground in which I had rooted it: in my own brokenness, pain, trauma, mental illness, failure to expect reciprocity, and my (newly conscious) fear that, despite my best efforts at healing, I might never step into (aka be worthy of) the life I deeply desire.

Yes, there are parts of my life that are so very beautiful. And I am very intentional about being present to the beauty and honoring it the best way I know how.

And still, I would be lying if I said I was living my best life. If I was thriving in all of the ways. If I didn’t have a gnawing sense that there is more for me to experience and step into. Even before I was able to feel in my body my own wants, needs and desires in the ways I am now.

It is one thing to know how to step out of nervous system dysregulation into regulation.

Developing awareness of my experience and using nervous system regulation tools to bring me back into my window of tolerance (over and over and over again) was a necessary building block and made it possible for my body to do the work of healing.

And yet, being able to shift back into “neutral” is not the same thing as stepping fully into possibility, expansion, generative capacity and creativity, and the full range of emotional and physical experience that this once in a lifetime experience of being in a body offers.

There is more available to me now. And there is more for you in this life too.
