OH HEY… It’s Been a Minute

Ya’ll, it’s been a minute.

And my how I’ve missed this space.

So much has unfolded in the past six months. From hosting my first retreat, to questioning my direction, to stepping into a 12-month container, to witnessing my own growth and expansion over the past three years.

And honestly… I’ve opened this page more than once wondering how to even begin sharing again.

The truth is, the pause didn’t come from some enlightened moment where I intentionally stepped away to integrate everything beautifully.

It came from overwhelm.

From feeling burnt out. From questioning. From wondering what I actually had to say… and whether I even wanted to say it.

At times it felt like there was this pressure to show up, to explain, to keep things moving. Like I needed to perform or package what was happening into something that made sense.

And at the exact same time I would sit here thinking…

SO MUCH has happened.

And then freeze again.

So today I’m just writing.

Trusting.

Because I know what it feels like when someone shares something online and it feels like they are speaking straight to my soul. Not because they are trying to be profound… but because something in what they say resonates.

The frequencies match.

And I believe that happens here too.

Not because I’m “something special,” but because there is an exchange happening. A give and receive.

I'm beginning to see and understand that my power isn't in having the perfect words or saying some trendy spiritual phrase that sounds good on the internet.

My power is being real.

Not sugarcoating things.

Not pretending I have everything figured out.

Just showing up and saying what’s actually true for me.

And what’s true right now is this:

The past six months have been full....

Full of experiences, reflections, and moments that have shaped me in ways I’m still discovering.

Over the next few weeks I want to share more about some of those experiences - the retreat I hosted in October, stepping into the Jedi Priestess Temple, and returning to the ARC retreat.

Each one held pieces of this journey.

And interestingly enough, even in the middle of all this questioning and integration… life keeps opening doors.

Next week I’ll be facilitating a breathwork experience at The Lotus Collective, and shortly after I return from California I’ll be beginning a 7-week chakra breathwork series.

Even sharing that brings up the same mix of excitement and curiosity I’ve been sitting with for the past several months.

Because this work continues to evolve as I do.

What I do know is that the spaces I’m holding now feel different - deeper, more embodied, less about having answers and more about creating a space where people can come exactly as they are.

Which, in many ways, feels like exactly where I am too.

So if you feel called to join me at The Lotus Collective, I would truly love to see you there.

For now, this feels like the first step.

Just showing up again.
