With each word I’ve written… Each chapter I’ve con With each word I’ve written… Each chapter I’ve considered… Each somatic practice I’ve embedded… It’s felt huge. A culmination of my most important work with trauma survivors 🫶 What an honor.

It begins with understanding yourself, your story, in a new way. #holisticmentalhealth #recoveringfromtrauma
As a professionally trained qualitative researcher As a professionally trained qualitative researcher, I care about personal, lived experience. Deeply. I look beyond population level data to understand nuance. Diversity. Minority perspectives. And so I’ve been watching… Listening. Curious at the majority perspective. And I find myself landing at the same thought over and over: Instead of being outraged at the outrage, no matter how well justified, do we care about why the outrage exists? Do we listen to that? Have we listened to that? Do we care as much about the personal, very real, lived experiences, and not just the outrage they’ve resulted in? Food for thought.
Nervous system work should never attempt to help y Nervous system work should never attempt to help you cope in abusive relationships, toxic environments, or dysfunctional and harmful family dynamics. Why? Because a healthy nervous system is connected, open, feeling, curious. All the things toxic environments suppress. 👉 You are fighting your nervous system and will forever be fighting it, by trying to make it feel safe in an unsafe environment.  #holisticmentalhealth
Whew 😬 this one always hits me in the gut when I h Whew 😬 this one always hits me in the gut when I hear it. So let me be super clear, friends: Abuse is *never* your fault. Recognizing and leaving abusive situations is incredibly complex - particularly if abuse was normal growing up. Give yourself grace. Healing and a new path is available no matter how long has passed ❤️‍🩹 #holisticmentalhealth
Let me tell you a story about a girl who chased wh Let me tell you a story about a girl who chased what others told her was important. She chased what others said she was good at and should be doing. And then on one very hard day she took a look around at her life and decided “this? This is not it!” And so began the building of a business she not only loved but gave her time *back* 🫶 - Build what you love. Passion and experience beats pure experience every day of the week. - Be smart with what you build. Avoid your time being the only thing you sell. - Get used to having less. True wealth is time and health. - Know what drains the life out of you. Work hard to get away from it as soon as you can. - Be clear on your priorities and build your business or work around that. Not the other way around. As often and as much as you can. - Invest in education. Being truly knowledgeable in a subject matter area makes a massive difference to your income potential. - Build weeks that allow for balance. Recovery is not meant for holidays only. It’s meant for each day too. - Don’t confuse hard work for “it’s not working.” - Accept that this takes time. Years. Decades. Not weeks and months. A little bit each day gets you closer over years than you may realise. - Stay focused 🫶 #holisticmentalhealth
Healing is rarely linear, neat or perfectly timed. Healing is rarely linear, neat or perfectly timed. Sometimes it looks like pushing back. Sometimes it looks like resting. Sometimes it looks like grieving. And sometimes it looks like trying again after you said you never would. 🙂 Which landed most powerfully for you today? #holisticmentalhealth
