Any training dealing with nervous system responses needs a module on signs of oppressive tendencies. You cannot be out here claiming to help people process stress responses in the body without first examining how this shows up for you as the facilitator. #somatics #traumainformed #embodiment

Introvert. Love doing the things with the people in the moment but it drains me. Iām social but need constant breaks from peopling. Solitude is when my best ideas/breakthroughs come.

Algorithmic culture makes it all so easy and frictionless that you never stop to ask yourself the big questions about whether this is really how you want to be spending your life.

Men usually use a compliment as an opening to engage & then become hostile if you choose not to. These days when I get a compliment and donāt want to engage I just say FACTS and walk away. Itās working pretty well.

I love when someone shares information with me that could be considered a flex and instead of waiting for a validating response they share their unfiltered excitement and/or fear around it. Itās so refreshing. Everybody too cool these days.

At an event and there is a gospel choir set to perform and then gospel house music will play āsilent disco styleā in our headsets. An individual experience which is interesting. Crowd is very white Austin SXSW and itās kinda weird but Iāmma have a good time and dance & praise God. Weāll see..

If you call yourself a leader in the wellness space and you are not addressing whatās currently happening in this country you are not a leader youāre a cog in the wheel of the wellness industrial complex and the two are not the same.

Women are usually measured against a masculine model of healthāone that demands consistency over cycles, productivity over intuition, and linear progress over rhythmic flow. But our bodies are designed to create and restore. To ebb and flow. To push forward and pull back.

Questions worth asking: Am I truly giving myself over to this experience or am I trying to make an impression? Am I being guided by the present moment or a formula that's worked in the past? Am I willing to be seen in a vulnerable state or is it more important that I maintain my image?
