Today was really heartbreaking but hopefully a lesson as all pain in life is if you are willing to see it. Yesterday (Thursday) we dropped you at your Mom’s house as we always do on Thursdays. Your Mom messaged your Father to let him know you had a cough and fever. She was going toContinue reading “you have needs. everyone has needs. speak them.”

This is yet another lesson I am still learning. When I think of what I want to manifest in the next 5 years I envision acres of land, a small home or trailer on the land, all of us together, happy at my job (maybe organizational psychologist), certified in breathwork and facilitating as a sideContinue reading “how you want to feel is more important than what it looks like”

Guilt is an emotion I frequently feel and frequently run from. I didn’t know what my guilt meant. What it was trying to tell me. I was recently reading the book ‘When the Body Says No’ by Gabor Mate and he speaks of guilt. He mentions something along the lines of … people-pleasers (me) shouldContinue reading “a new perspective on guilt”

I’ve been transitioning into a new job for a couple months now and it is CHALLENGING. But I was reminded yesterday of the power of the stories we tell ourselves. How we perceive what is happening & the story we tell ourselves about it. This past couple weeks has been hard. I haven’t been sleepingContinue reading “The Power of Perception + Narration”

I’m 33 years old (you’re 9, almost 10) and I’m at a point in my life where I CANNOT live as I have been. I’m completely overwhelmed/unsatisfied by my job, my relationship with your father is being tested, & I’m feeling very uninspired and exhausted on most days. It feels like I am going throughContinue reading “Learning to Surrender”

I feel like I lost my mother to her trauma. I’m so angry at my ancestors, specifically the women for allowing this to happen. How could my grandmother (my mom’s mother) stay with an alcoholic. Why didn’t anyone try to heal themselves. Why did they keep passing it down generation after generation. How far backContinue reading “losing someone to their trauma”

At 9 years old (4th grade) you’re not a big fan of school. It’s more the idea of school that troubles you than actual school. At the end of the day you’re always in good spirits, talk about your friends, and the things you enjoyed (music class, gym, recess, & lunch LOL). You’re also reallyContinue reading “Never forget that feeling…”

The Great Void is something I’ve felt my whole life. I’m just beginning to feel safe enough to explore it. I felt it today. I think we all feel it. This overwhelming feeling of loneliness, abandonment, & nothingness. It scares the shit out of me. It shows up unexpectedly and I panic. I start toContinue reading “The Great Void”

It hit me this week (as I cried in my car on my way home from work) that there are many manifestations to tears. I wasn’t crying because I was sad, I was crying because I needed a fucking release. Tears have always been my go to to my whole life. I’m angry…tears. I’m sad…tears.Continue reading “manifestations of tears”

You are 9 years old & in 4th grade. You like your school but you don’t like school if you know what I mean. Parent-teacher conferences were last week. You are below grade level in reading & on track in everything else. In my mind, I was like, “no shit”. You haven’t been in aContinue reading “You – 9 yrs old”
