Anchoring into the bigness of who you are will help you see yourself in a different light.

Anxiety may cause you to doubt that sometimes. It’s annoying. It’s frustrating. It can feel scary and overwhelming, debilitating, you name it.

Having a holistic approach means looking at the whole picture to support your mental well-being.

I see a world where mental wellness is more than managing symptoms. I see a world where the way you feel about yourself matters. I see a world where more people feel empowered around the value and expansiveness they bring to the world — that includes you.

This week we’re diving into both sides - the experience of anxiety, and how you can finally anchor into a state of groundedness and truth to the power and beauty of who you are. You’ll be in a community with other incredible humans walking their path alongside you. Together, we grow. We start tomorrow 7/25. If you’re ready to step in, rework your relationship to anxiety, and redefine your sense of self, join us! Link in bio 💯✨

It seems like anxiety is always close by. ⁠ ⁠

It seems like anxiety is always close by. ⁠
⁠
The constant worrying,⁠
Rattling off every "what if" you can think of,⁠
Feeling intense fear of the future,⁠
Powerless and incapable of sitting with uncertainty,⁠
Wondering what other people think of you,⁠
Always trying to protect yourself by keeping everyone else around you happy. ⁠
⁠
Anxiety is one of the most debilitating experiences that impacts so many, in the small everyday moments and the big, life-altering decisions, too. ⁠
⁠
I no longer want to be known as the generation(s) that lives from a place of anxiety,⁠
That makes decisions from a place of fear, low self worth and self ridicule. ⁠
⁠
It’s time to shake shit up and change the conversation. ⁠
⁠
It’s time for a new approach where instead of feeling powerless and depleted by your anxiety, you know you can ride through it and still live the life you know you’re here to live. ⁠
⁠
Next week, I’m hosting a 6 DAY FREE COMMUNITY CHALLENGE - From Anxious to Anchored. ⁠
⁠
This isn’t about getting rid of your anxiety. It’s okay to experience it. ⁠
⁠
This is about showing you that it’s possible to experience anxiety without attaching to it so that you can anchor into the power and beauty of who you are.⁠
⁠
These 6 days are so jam packed with insights, tangible takeaways, new skills for you to practice + so much more. You can do this. You don’t have to do it alone. ⁠

Over the last several months, I’ve had moments w

Over the last several months, I’ve had moments where there was so much shifting and changing I wanted to crawl out of my skin. It sometimes feels hard to find words.

There have been days where this world felt limitless, in the best way.
There have been days where I couldn’t help but cry, question everything and wonder what was happening, within me + in this world.

I started this company 3 years ago when I felt called to this work because I see the power + beauty that comes from mental and emotional wellness.

Working in mental health, and navigating my own struggles, has taught me so much about human beings.
The value of having time, space, information,
permission to be honest,
to try and to fail,
someone to walk alongside you in the most exciting and challenging moments. It's priceless.
You’re not meant to just “know” how to do all of this.
You’re also not meant to go through life alone.

What drives me everyday is this:
- I want you to know how incredibly worthy and capable you are, even with the failures and missteps you’ve experienced. That’s part of life.
- I want you to feel how incredible, loved and unique you are. Without question.
- It’s important for you to recognize that not feeling “happy” all day, everyday, is really normal, and feel empowered to hold yourself in the ups and downs.
- I want you to stop fighting for your limitations, barriers, listening to those “what if’s,” and instead use your energy to pursue all of the things in life that fill you up - even if you’re not sure what that is right now.

It's time for you to see this within yourself.
Because I know the ripple that comes from each and every one of you feeling more at home with yourself.

You don’t have to wait for a certain age, milestone, relationship, income level, or achievement to be enough. You are right now.

If this resonates, I’m so thrilled that you’re here. If you know someone else who could also benefit from these teachings, conversations, and reminders, send them this post so they can follow along.

If you decide this isn’t for you, that is A-Okay, too. You do you. I trust you.

Thanks for being here IG community. I’m so grateful.

I get it. You want to know WHY. Being human is annoying and inconvenient sometimes. It also can feel confusing AF, can’t it?

The reality is that you are complex. You may have a lot coming through you at once.

It may not always make sense.

If you’re someone who’s always seeking to understand or pinpoint an exact trigger for something to rationalize and validate what you’re going through, I want to remind you that there may not always be one specific reason. That doesn’t make your experience any less valid.

Try showing up for yourself anyway.
Trying intentionally and mindfully moving with the emotions and experiences rather than trying to shove them down, or letting them take over completely.

You get to hold yourself in the ups, and the downs. You are safe to feel while also being intentional of how you navigate it. There’s nothing wrong with you for being who you are, and where you are, right now.

One of the most important truths you can hold is t

One of the most important truths you can hold is that you get to take radical responsibility for your well-being, for your needs, for your life.

I work with my clients on this a lot because though these truths may seem “simple,” they are certainly not always easy.

Sometimes the shoulds get so loud,
Sometimes the people around you want you to do something different that’s more convenient, familiar or comfortable for them.
Sometimes you’re feeling pulled into something entirely different than you’re used to and it feels scary.
Sometimes it can be easier (in some ways) to stay small, be quiet or pass your life off to someone else when you’re feeling unsure.

I know how deeply complex it all can be.
The thoughts feel overwhelming, the ever changing emotions and perspectives get confusing.

Here’s the shift:
- You learn to accept yourself. All of you. The nuances. The greatest aspects. The triggers. The ups, the downs, the quirks, the joys.
- You engage in self inquiry that gives you permission to get to know more and more of yourself as you change and grow in life experiences. You bring lightness, fun and joy to your journey of being human.
- You take responsibility for yourself, your well-being, your fullest life - understanding that that’s actually no one else’s job - and it’s okay if they don’t understand.

I’m here to tell you that it’s okay. It’s all okay.
You are worthy of your wildest dreams, right here, right now.
You deserve to take epically good care of yourself so that you can thrive.

It’s time to start leaning in to explore your fullness, your needs, your truth. It is vital for your mental well-being (+ SO MUCH MORE).

Not knowing what’s next does not mean you are lo

Not knowing what’s next does not mean you are lost. ⁠
⁠
How often do you equate “not knowing” to something that feels more shameful? ⁠
⁠
Deeming yourself...⁠
lost, ⁠
powerless, ⁠
“a mess,” or ⁠
somehow a failure in this wild & beautiful life. ⁠
⁠
I’m here to tell you that you are not failing, and you are surely not lost. ⁠
⁠
You are discovering more of yourself. ⁠
You are finding new edges that allow you to explore, get curious, and stretch - if you’re open to it. ⁠
⁠
One of the things I see my clients seeking the most is a false sense of control. ⁠
Control of what happens next. ⁠
Control of the people around you. ⁠
Control of every moment of your day.⁠
Control of the ebbs and flows of your energy. ⁠
Control of your emotions. ⁠
Control of every outcome.⁠
⁠
⁠
It’s time to drop the struggle. It’s time to stop berating yourself and holding yourself to impossible expectations of what your life will be. ⁠
That’s how you breed anxiety, self doubt and feelings of defeat. ⁠
⁠
The next time you start to tell yourself you’re lost, you’re failing or you’ll never figure it out, try dropping into your heart. ⁠
Get outside and get quiet. ⁠
Remind yourself that the point of life isn’t really the destination, because once you get “there,” you’ll always find another “there” to seek. �⁠
⁠
How can you be here with you, in the now? ⁠
⁠
If you’re facing an edge, tiptoeing around, feeling confused, I see you. I love you. ⁠
You are safe with you. ⁠
You have nothing to run from. ⁠
I believe you have the powerful guidance within you to keep going. ⁠
Not knowing what’s next is not the same as being lost. You are whole, right here, right now, even in the in-betweens.
