You carry your mother’s light and your grandmother’s shadows. Every expectation, every sacrifice, every unspoken rule – they live in your bones. This book is your permission slip to write a new story. Through neuroscience, ancestral wisdom, and raw honesty, I’ll guide you from survival to sacred joy.
I’ve distilled 15 years of clinical wisdom and blended it with cutting-edge neuroscience. Through laughter, tears, and “holy sh*t” moments, you’ll transform your family’s heaviest patterns into your greatest strengths.
Remember the little girl who danced in the kitchen? The one who believed in magic before she learned to believe in fear? She’s still there, waiting for your permission to come home.
This isn’t just another self-help journal. It’s a conversation with the part of you that holds both your deepest wounds and your greatest gifts. Through carefully crafted prompts based on polyvagal theory and inner child psychology, you’ll:
Reconnect with the joy that anxiety stole from you
Transform critical self-talk into nurturing inner dialogue
Create physical anchors for emotional safety
Build a practical toolkit for nervous system regulation
I've distilled generations of wisdom and blended it with cutting-edge neuroscience. These are transformative experiences that connect you to your roots and awaken your inner strength.
These aren't your average self-help tools. I've created powerful, guided experiences where you'll confront generational patterns, celebrate your resilience, and write a new chapter in your family's story. Warning: May cause spontaneous ugly-crying, belly laughs, and "holy sh*t" moments of clarity.
Immersive, high-energy gatherings where theory meets practice. We tackle the heavy stuff, break through barriers, and forge connections that last. You'll leave with practical tools, a renewed sense of self, and a community that gets it.
Whether you need one-on-one guidance or want to transform your entire organization, I'm here. Let's create a tailored experience that addresses your unique challenges, honors your cultural context, and ignites lasting change.
