🌞 The Summer Solstice Isn’t Just a Seasonal Shift

It’s a Portal — And It’s Already Opening

As we approach the Summer Solstice on June 20, you may feel it in subtle ways…
The restlessness.
The emotional stirring.
The quiet pull to release what no longer fits.That’s not coincidence — that’s the energy shifting.
Because the Solstice isn’t just a change in season.
It’s a sacred threshold.A mirror held up to your soul, asking:
What are you no longer willing to carry?
And what are you finally ready to bloom into? 🌿

✨ What Makes the Solstice So Powerful?

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a time when the light is at its peak — both literally and energetically.
It represents illumination, expansion, and becoming.It’s a portal that invites you to:
- Let go of outdated versions of yourself
- Realign with your truth
- Choose the path that feels most soulfully aliveAnd you don’t have to do it all at once.
Over the next few days, let the clarity build slowly.
This is your time to pause, reflect, and prepare.

🌕 How to Prepare for the Solstice

You don’t need a complex ritual — just intention and presence.
Here are a few gentle ways to begin:🕯️ Cleanse your space — energetically and emotionally
📓 Journal about what you're ready to release
🌿 Spend time in nature — allow your body to ground into the earth
💫 Visualize your next season of life — who are you becoming?This is your moment.
Let the light show you the way.

🫶 If You’re Feeling the Shift Too…

You’re not alone.
And you don’t have to navigate this energy on your own.If you’d like support preparing for this Solstice portal — emotionally, energetically, or somatically — I invite you to explore my 1:1 sessions or join my email list for sacred seasonal guidance.📥 Healing Sessions + Tools

🌕 Under the Light of This Sagittarius Full Moon

There’s something sacred about full moons.
They ask us to release, to remember, to rise.

This Sagittarius full moon—fiery, truthful, unfiltered—invites us to burn away the illusion that we must shape-shift to be loved.✨ This is a moon for the cycle breakers.
The ones who carry more than they speak of.
The ones who were taught to be quiet, to be good, to be smaller than their light.
But not anymore.This is a moon for the women who are learning to come home to themselves.
To soften.
To open.
To be fully, fiercely real.

🌕 A Full Moon Invocation

under the light of this full moon,
i release the illusion that i must be anything other than who i am to be loved.
i forgive the stories i inherited.
i honor the little girl who fought so hard for approval.
and now, i return home to myself.
i am safe to live authentically.
i am safe to receive with ease.
i am safe to live in full alignment.
i do not carry the wounds of my mother.
i carry the wisdom of my healing.
i am the one who chose to break the cycle.
and now i rise, radiant, whole and free.
—
May these words be your mirror.
Your reminder.
Your permission slip to live freely, love fully, and rise without apology. 🌕

🌿 3 Signs Your Nervous System Needs Rest

A gentle reminder that your body is not a machine — it’s a sacred messenger.

Have you ever felt completely drained, but somehow still unable to relax?Maybe you find yourself lying in bed, exhausted — yet buzzing with unexplainable tension. Or the smallest decisions feel like mountains. Or maybe… you just don’t feel anything at all anymore.These are all signs your nervous system is whispering (or maybe shouting):
“I need rest. Not just sleep — true, embodied rest.”Let’s gently explore the signs 🕊️

1️⃣ You feel “wired and tired”

Your body is restless, your thoughts are racing, but your energy is gone.
This often happens when you’re stuck in sympathetic overdrive — the fight-or-flight state.
Even joyful things feel like pressure. Even rest feels like another task.🌱 Your body is doing its best to protect you — but it’s asking for a reset.

2️⃣ Small things feel overwhelming

Simple tasks like responding to a message or choosing a meal leave you feeling anxious or frozen.
You might feel like you’re “failing at life,” but what’s really happening is nervous system overload.🌬️ Your mind may be shouting “just do it,” while your body is whispering “please slow down.”

3️⃣ You feel disconnected from your body

You float in your thoughts, numb to sensation, out of sync with your breath.
This is often a freeze response, your nervous system’s final protection mode.
You may feel like a ghost in your own life — and it can be scary.💗 But this is not the end. It’s an invitation to return home to yourself.

🌸 What can you do next?

Rest doesn’t have to be complicated.
It begins with small, safe practices that bring your body back into presence:✨ Take 3 slow belly breaths
✨ Place your hand over your heart and say, “I am safe now.”
✨ Walk barefoot in nature, hum softly, or gently tap your arms (Butterfly Hug)The goal isn’t perfection — it’s presence.
And your body already knows the way back. 🕯️

🫶 You are not broken. You are healing.

🌿 I Am Becoming, and That Is Enough

How one simple affirmation can shift your entire nervous system

There was a time in my life when I believed I had to perform for love.
Shrink for safety.
Prove my worth to be seen.It was subtle—woven into how I overexplained, how I stayed silent, how I ignored the signals of my own body. I didn’t yet know that my nervous system was trying to protect me from a life I had outgrown.But healing teaches you this:
You don’t need to be chosen by anyone else to belong.
You need only return to yourself.

🕊️ The Healing Power of Becoming

The affirmation I shared recently—
“I am no longer waiting to be chosen. I am the answer I was searching for…”
—wasn’t just a poetic thought. It was a remembrance. A truth my body had been whispering for years.When we stop outsourcing our enoughness, something sacred happens:
Our breath deepens.
Our shoulders drop.
Our energy settles.The need to chase is replaced by the safety of rootedness.You realize you don’t have to earn rest.
You don’t have to hustle for healing.
You don’t have to abandon who you are to feel held.

🌙 Healing the Performance Wound

This isn’t just mindset work—it’s somatic.
The part of you that used to reach for attention, for validation, for love… may have been born from trauma. From a time when love was conditional. When your truth felt too loud. When your softness wasn’t mirrored.But you’re not that version anymore.
Now, you are the one who chooses.You are the one who holds.
You are the one who stays.

💫 Let This Affirmation Anchor You

“I do not chase love. I remember I am love.
I do not perform for worthiness—I root in it.
I am not behind. I am not broken.
I am becoming—and my becoming is enough.”Repeat it when you forget who you are.
Repeat it when you feel the urge to shrink.
Repeat it when your nervous system needs a gentle hand on the heart.

🌸 You Are Already Enough

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the coping, the masks, the noise.And if no one has told you lately—
You are not too much.
You are not too late.
You are becoming, beautifully, bravely, and in your own time.And that is enough.

💫 Releasing Your Inner Child to Heal Deep Trauma

When we think of trauma healing, we often picture confronting our past, unraveling patterns, or managing symptoms like anxiety or depression. But true healing runs deeper—it’s not just about coping. It’s about remembering who you were before the pain.

This is where your inner child comes in.

Inside each of us lives a younger version of ourselves—playful, sensitive, curious, and wildly intuitive. That child may have witnessed chaos. They may have learned to stay small, people-please, or hold in big feelings just to stay safe. And even as adults, their voice still echoes in our nervous system.

🌿 Trauma Isn’t Just in the Mind—It’s in the Body

The nervous system stores what the mind forgets. If your inner child grew up in an environment where emotions weren’t safe, your body learned to tighten:- A lump in your throat when you want to speak
- A pit in your belly when conflict arises
- Numbness or disconnection in moments that require intimacyThese are not flaws—they’re protective imprints from a child who adapted to survive.

✨ What Does It Mean to "Release" Your Inner Child?

Releasing isn’t abandoning. It’s the opposite. It means allowing the child within you to:- Finally express what they couldn’t
- Cry, yell, dance, or tremble—without shame
- Feel safe enough to soften and be heldWhen we release, we let go of the tight grip trauma has had on our body.
When we release, we tell our nervous system: It’s safe now. We’re safe now.

🕊️ My Own Journey

There was a time post-divorce where I didn’t just feel lost—I felt like I had abandoned myself. But in truth, I had abandoned the child in me who only ever wanted to feel loved without condition.When I began reconnecting to her—through somatic breathwork, gentle movement, and voice journaling—my body stopped bracing for the worst. I stopped performing for love. I began remembering who I was before the pain: wild, radiant, and whole.

🌸 Why This Heals Trauma at the Root

Healing your inner child brings you back into your body.
It rewires your nervous system from a fear-based pattern into a trust-based one.
You no longer react from old wounds—you respond from your power.Because the truth is, healing doesn’t come from reliving your trauma.
It comes from releasing the weight your body still carries from it.And that release… often starts with a whisper from your inner child.

💖 Affirmation

“I honor the child within me. I create space for her voice, her emotions, and her joy.
She is no longer hiding—she is coming home.”

📓 Journal Prompt
