    145// I've been so good at holding it together, and now I am tired.

    If you have ever found yourself thinking, nothing is actually wrong, so why am I so exhausted, this episode is for you. You know...the bone-deep kind of tired. The kind that sits underneath. For a lot of high functioning women (hi, its me), feeling got quietly set aside a long time ago. Why? Because there was always something more pressing going on. Something to handle, someone to show up for, a problem to solve. Functioning became the default mode, and over time, the feelings just... waited. In this episode I am talking about self override. The small, everyday moments where we jump to solutions before we have truly felt the problem. Where we tell ourselves it is fine or "I'm fiiiine" (said as Ross Geller), others have it worse. Where we keep moving because stopping feels more dangerous than staying busy. Each of those moments on its own feels minor. But the accumulation of them over months and years is what creates that heaviness, the exhaustion. That sense of being far from yourself. That not knowing what you actually want anymore. This is a learned strategy that made a lot of sense once. And it is worth understanding where it came from before you try to change it. We also go into what actually happens in the body when emotions are consistently overridden. They do not dissolve. They accumulate. They take up space. And they make clarity hard to access even when life is genuinely quiet. The question I want to leave you with after this episode is a simple one. When was the last time you let yourself feel something fully, without immediately moving to fix it, reframe it, or set it aside? Sit with that answer.

    144// Something deeper is going on, and I can't think my way out of it this time.

    You know it is fine. You can list all the reasons it is fine. You have done the journaling, you have reframed it, you have talked yourself through it more times than you can count. And yet something in you still does not feel okay. That gap between what you know and what you actually feel in your body is one of the most disorienting places to live. Because from the outside it looks like resistance. It looks like you are choosing to stay stuck. And from the inside it feels like you are failing at the one thing you have been working so hard at. You are not failing. You are not resistant. You are not broken or too deep in your head or lacking discipline. You have just reached the edge of what thinking alone can do. And that edge is not a dead end. It is actually the beginning of something more honest. This week's episode is for the woman who has done everything right on paper and is exhausted by the fact that it is still not shifting. There is a reason for that. And it is not what she thinks.   DOWNLOAD THE FREE BRESTHWORK "THE PRESSURE RELEASE" BOOK A 1:1 BREATHWORK SESSION INSTAGRAM

    143// Unhooking you from toxic positivity.

    Its not going to work. The quiet pressure you (or others) put on you to remain high vibe, optimistic and positive, while things could be feeling heavy, clunky, or uncertain. Look at the silver lining. Focus on the positive. Look on the bright side. These won't work for you while you're carrying so much, and holding yourself together. Instead whats going to happen, is youre going to feel pressure. The more you force yourself into a positive state and mindset, and the more you notice it not working, the more you will feel like crap. All the while youre teaching your body that these heavier (and very valid) emotions arent welcome...leaving your body to think "I am only safe when I feel good" Nah...you dont want that. You dont want to teach your body emotional surpression... ...you want it to know and understand emotional healthy and mastery, so you can live a life of spaciouness and abundance. Unhooking yourself from toxic positivity, is about release the pressure to perform. It means letting yourself feel whats true for you, and decoding it all. Its about increasing your capacity (so you can hold MORE). We dive into this convo inside todays episode. I hope it serves you, and that you gently release that pressure youve been putting on yourself.   BOOK A BREATHWORK SESSION INSTAGRAM

    142// Why trying harder or putting MORE effort in, isn't working anymore

    I've been thinking about something a lot lately. There's this really specific kind of frustration that happens when trying harder used to work… and now it just doesn't. Like you know how to be disciplined. You know how to show up. You've done hard things before. You've built things before. You're not new to effort. But lately it feels like you're putting in the same energy and getting half the movement. Or you're pushing and instead of momentum, you just feel more tired. And that's the part that's unsettling. Because if effort has always been your safety net, your identity, the thing that made you capable… what does it mean when it stops working? I see so many women quietly turn this inward. They start wondering if they've gotten lazy. If they've lost their drive. If they just need to get it together. But what if that's not what's happening at all. What if trying harder isn't working because you're not lacking discipline… you're lacking capacity. Effort works beautifully when there's space inside you to receive the results of that effort. When your nervous system isn't already overloaded. When you're not carrying layers of responsibility, emotion, identity shifts, invisible labor. If you've been holding a lot for a long time, pushing more doesn't create progress. It creates pressure. And pressure doesn't build. It braces. Sometimes when effort stops working, it's not a sign to double down. It's a sign that your system is asking for room to breathe. You don't need to prove you still have it in you. You don't need to earn your rest by collapsing first. It might just be that this season requires something different. Not more force. More space. I talk about this more deeply in this week's podcast episode, but I just wanted to say this here in case you needed to hear it. Nothing is wrong with you. You're not behind. You might just be full.

    141// When life looks good on the outside, but inside you feel like crap...

    From the outside, my life looked great... ...even looking at it myself, I could say it was great. I had just had a baby, I was running a successful business, I was living in a beautiful part of the world, It looked great. But truthfully, I was struggling big time. Yes. I had all that I had once wished for, but holding it all was exhausting me. I was going through the biggest identity shift I will ever go through, the maiden to mother shift. I was also very plugged into my business, which was doing well, but the structure of it wasnt working for my new role as a mother. I was in the middle of shedding friendships, while also making new ones. I was holding a lot, and coming apart at the seams. I felt so guilty and shameful, that I wasnt feeling grateful every second of the day.  I beat myself up, saying to myself "you should be happy, look at what you have" And that shame only only added to the internal chaos I was feeling. Until I stopped, and gave myself permission to feel this heaviness and surrender to it. It was ok. It was ok to have my inner and outer worlds misaligned right now. Of course it was hard to enjoy what was right in front of me, when I was carrying a lot which came with a bunch of heavy sensations and feelings. I was at capcity, with no room for anything else. And when I gave myself that permission, I felt a sense of relief. A big exhale. There was nothing wrong with me. I wasnt ungrateful or numb to what I had. I just needed sapce to process everything, and release a lot of emotion, so I could finally fully enjoy the beauty right in front of me. If you relate to this, let me know. Youre not alone.   BOOK A BREATHWORK SESSION COME HANG ON INSTAGRAM

    140// Why is it so hard to know what I want?

    "What do you want?" Seems like a simple question. Yet it feels so loaded. You thought you knew, until you realized that a lot of what is on your vision board is heavily influenced by the outside world.  So when we take away all that outside influence, what is the truth about what you want? "I don't know", was a common asnwer I would get from my clients. And thats normal for the woman who has felt at capacity and emotionally full for a very long time. Clarity cant emerge when there is no space for it. When all the space is taken up by unfelt emotions, theres no room for it. When you're emotionally full, receiving is hard.  When youre at capaxity, youre not able to take action towards your true desires. Clarity is kept buried until youve created the space needed for it to surface. The truth about what you desire is there. It lies within you. Its not lost or missing. So if you really want to know the truth about what you desire, then first step is to empty out. To feel whats there, and release the unflet emotions, so theres is room. Then and only then, will you figure it all out. BOOK A BREATHWORK SESSION INSTAGRAM

    139// Awareness Just Isn't Enough Anymore

    For a long time, I thought insight was the answer. If I could just understand why I felt the way I did… If I could connect the dots, trace it back, name the pattern…then surely the emotion would loosen its grip. And sometimes it did. But what I noticed over time was this quiet heaviness that stayed. A kind of emotional residue. I could explain my reactions beautifully. I could articulate my triggers. I could even speak about them with awareness and compassion. And yet… my body was still holding something. This is what we don't talk about enough. Insight without embodiment doesn't complete the process. Understanding an emotion isn't the same as feeling it. Naming a pattern isn't the same as letting it move. Awareness alone doesn't always create relief. When emotions are met only in the mind, they often stay stored in the body. They soften intellectually…but remain physically held. And what's held eventually shows up as reactivity, fatigue, tension, or that sense of being emotionally full without knowing why. Embodiment is what allows insight to land. It's the moment the body is invited into the conversation. The breath slows. The shoulders drop. The nervous system realizes it doesn't have to stay braced. This is why I talk so much about feeling it first. Not because insight isn't valuable, of course it is. But because feeling is what completes the loop. When we allow ourselves to feel what we've already understood, the emotion finally has somewhere to go. And in that release… there's space. Presence. Ease. If you've done so much inner work and still feel like something lingers beneath the surface, it might not be because you've missed something. It might just be waiting to be felt. You don't need more understanding. You need room in your body for what you already know.

    138// Manifestation Techniques Aren't Working For You - Here's Why...

    You are at CAPACITY. This is why the mainstream surface level manifestation techniques aren't working for you. It's not because you're failing or doing them wrong... ...you're just tired, overwhelmed and unable to hold anything else right now. You body is rejecting change, newness, and expansion...EVEN THOUGH its exactly what you want. You're full, with no room internally. So those manifestation tecniques wont do much for you right now. Because how can you receive when theres no space for the desires to land? How can you receive when your nervous system doesnt feel safe?  In order to experience the life you desire, a life of spaciousness and abundance, you must first release whats there and expand your capacity. How do you do that? FEEL. Feeling IS releasing. Allowing the stored unfelt emotions to pass through. When that space is created internally, your capacity to hold more, to hold change, to hold newness, grows. Thats when all the manifestation stuff works.
