In today's episode, I'm talking about feeling without falling apart and how to start when it feels like too much. Because we've all been taught to push through, stay tough, and avoid being too much, but your emotional system doesn't shut off just because you ignore it. 

Naming your emotions without trying to fix them, noticing body cues, and even using grounding tools like music or journaling all create emotional fences that allow you to feel without drowning. 

Feeling without falling apart IS possible, but it takes time. If you're doing this work, I am so proud of you because this is SUCH a brave step. Healing doesn't happen all at once, but ultimately, it will bring you back home to yourself!

In this episode, I cover:

• What can happen when you try to feel ALL of your feelings at once
• What it means to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze + how to gently return to rest and digest
• Simple tools to help you safely process emotions one step at a time (without letting them take over)
• The power of going slow and steady as you build emotional resilience and safety

In today's episode, I'm talking about self-reliance vs. connection and what actually helps us heal. So many of us were raised to believe that needing help is a weakness or that slowing down to feel our emotions makes us soft.

Healing in isolation might feel safe, but true transformation happens in connection, especially when we have someone to walk beside us. Community gives us the courage to stay with the hard stuff and is what actually helps us heal.

If you're craving this kind of support, the Good Movement Collective is now open for its third round. I'd love to support you on this journey of healing & growing together!

In this episode, I cover:

• Realizing that just because we can carry it alone doesn’t mean we should
• Why we’re designed for connection as humans & need relationships with others
• Working through the hard stuff in life instead of continuously shoving it down
• Reflections you can start now to support your healing & inner work

In today's episode, I'm talking about why emotions aren't the problem - avoiding them is. Emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you. They're not an inconvenience (contrary to what you may believe) but are actually a BEAUTIFUL part of our design as humans!

I know that feeling and connecting with your emotions can sound scary, but it is VITAL if you want to experience lasting healing in your life! I would love for you to take some time and think about what emotions you've been ignoring or labeling as bad. Your emotions are meant to help, guide, and connect you, so I hope you allow them to do that!

In this episode, I cover:

• Why emotions aren't the problem but are actually meant to help & guide you
• Understanding that vulnerability deepens connection
• What happens when you continually shove your emotions down
• How to begin letting your emotions be your guide vs. a challenge to overcome

In today's episode, I'm talking about a lesson from Ted Lasso on healing and holding two things at once. As humans, we REALLY struggle with duality in our culture. We've been conditioned to think that everything is either/or and not ever both/and. 

It's crucial that you don't suppress your emotions, even when they feel uncomfortable. Those suppressed emotions won't just magically disappear! One of my favorite ways to work through this is using the “f- you and thank you" exercise. It's been incredibly helpful for me, and I have a feeling it will be for you, too!

If you're ready to learn more about this exercise and other tools OR you need someone to walk with you on your healing journey, I would love to support you in this way. You can join me and other amazing women in rural America in my 1:1 Good Movement Guidance - we're all healing and learning together!

In this episode, I cover:

• Why humans struggle with duality in our culture - especially with emotions
• Understanding that suppressed emotions don't just disappear
• Personal examples of how I've felt both "f- you" and "thank you" emotions
• How to use the "f- you and thank you" exercise in your own life

In today's episode, I'm talking about why healing isn't about never hurting again. Just like physical wounds, emotional healing requires time, protection, and intentional care. Even when you've worked through something, and you feel healed and closed, something is bound to open that wound back up from time to time!

Setting boundaries and giving yourself space can really help with emotional healing, especially when you're just beginning the healing process. Remember, healing isn't about never hurting again. No matter where you are on your healing journey, you are NOT broken.  

I would love to know what you're working to heal right now. If you need guidance in that area, I would be honored to talk with you about it in a 1:1 consult call. Let's work on your healing together! 

In this episode, I cover:

• Why emotional healing requires more time, protection & intentional care
• Setting boundaries & giving yourself space to help with emotional healing
• Examples of emotional bumps + open wounds vs. healed scars
• Ways you can respond when you get emotionally bumped
• Recognizing that healing does NOT mean you’re weak when you feel pain again

In this episode, I cover:

• Why finding meaning and purpose in your life is VITAL
• Resilience vs. post-traumatic growth
• Realizing that you WILL experience trauma in some way, but cultivating resilience will help you to come out stronger on the other side
• Finding meaning and purpose when you have a chronic illness
• The complex emotion that is awe

I'm excited to welcome my friend, Kelly Greene, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, onto the podcast today!

In today's part 1 episode, we're discussing holistic resilience and what rethinking strength and survival looks like. Kelly has experienced her fair share of trauma over the years and has often been told how resilient she is. While she may look like it on paper, resilient was not a word she would have used to describe herself years ago.

Make sure to come back for part 2 with Kelly next week as we dive more into resilience - you won't want to miss it!

In this episode, we cover:

• Kelly's "dark night of the soul" experience that led her to step away from practicing law and take a holistic approach to her life
• How holistic resilience has impacted Kelly + the work she does with her clients
• Why resilience does NOT equal grit
• 2 extreme ways that people typically react after experiencing a traumatic event
• Where resilience actually happens for us
• The Healthy 4 Hs + 8 factors that can help with building holistic resilience
