Today I'm going to check out Goose's Skool Bus in Denver and meet some amazing humans from this platform. And, I'm super excited and also not... all at the same time. 🥰 🫣 I'm a naturally introverted person, a pure INFJ. This event has been on my calendar for over two months, but in the last few days I've been getting cold feet, which is a predictable pattern of mine and I know I've got to interrupt it so I shot a quick video to share how I feel and what I'm doing. And, I'm also a big person signs. The video is 4:44 which is one of my angel numbers being born on 4/4. Also, while reading this post, I got multiple DMs simultaneously from folks checking to see if I was attending. 💖✨💖✨💖

Monday we considered the quiz answers as an invitation to begin making the connections between our physical body, inner and outer world. What downloads or insights have you noticed? Many times it's not obvious, but subtle and comes in the quiet moments when you shower, walk, meditate or even driving in the car. Today we're going to consider a different aspect or lens. As you sit with your quiz results, pay attention to your answers from sections 2 and 3. Our repeated thoughts, emotions, and behaviors become our repeated values... and they're not what we think they are. There's often a disconnect that is hiding in our subconscious mind. And the biggest piece is that these repeated thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that become our repeated values become our IDENTITY. 🤯 For example, if you say you value supporting other women and a rising tide raises all ships, but you checked off 'Compare Self to Others' or 'Feel Jealous or In Competition With Others'- there's a conflict. Or, you say you value sovereignty or speaking your truth, but you checked off 'Don't Speak Your Truth Because You Don't Want to Upset The Other Person or Fear Rejection' or 'You Avoid Certain Topics/Deflect Conversations When They Make You Uncomfortable,' again, there's a conflict. What you really value at this moment in time is what you checked off, not what you THINK. This can be hard to come to terms with but when we shine a light on these it allows us to grow and heal many parts of us. 🔦 These are the connections we can start to make when we zoom out and look at the big picture. 🪂 Have you noticed any places where there was a disconnect?? I had some huge ones I shared in the comments.

If you're coming from Human First/AI Driven Summit this week or are an existing member of this community, I have a gift for you, my Hidden Patterns Quiz. The backstory is that I've been observing patterns my entire life. When I got into functional medicine practice, I noticed the physical, mental, and emotional patterns that my patients had. At first I saw them through the lens of biochemistry, physiology and nervous system regulation, but as I healed and grew myself and added the emotional and spiritual tools to my toolbox my lens expanded. I could SEE how profoundly interconnected everything was. So to help me illustrate that to my patients, I created this quiz (it started off as a static check box but is now an app). It connects the dots on how our physical, mental, emotional, and relational may be contributing to our life and current state. Your low back pain, tension in your jaw, reflux and indigestion, anxiety, indecision, not speaking up to keep the peace, and self sabotage are all related (just an example I see often😉). The quiz invites you to bring awareness what might be connected for you, if there are repeating patterns, and opens the possibility of asking what can shift if you see things from a different lens. Here is the link: Hidden Patterns Quiz Over the coming days we're going to dive into it further. I also want to ask a simple poll question: Do you fully see how everything in your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body is connected?? I'll tell you what I've observed in 20 years of working with people in the comments.

In another community we were asked to describe our ideal community member and I've struggle with this in the past, but today it flowed so much easier and I wanted to share it with you. She is a midlife woman who's already done some self-work but knows she is still living inside old patterns she can’t think her way out of. People see her as intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but she wants more than that and doesn't relate to that version of herself anymore. She deeply craves connection through stronger relationships, more confidence in her words and actions, and a life or business that feels more like hers (and not what's expected of her). What keeps her awake at night is the gap between what she understands and what she can actually change. She asks herself, "Why am I still anxious, triggered, overthinking, people-pleasing, holding back, repeating the same patterns, or afraid to fully be seen?" *********************************************************************************************************** That was how I replied. I can relate because I've been there too. At one time just a few years I had so much internal resistance because I felt so disconnected to the version of me the world saw and the version of me that existed within me. I ignored it for a while, until I couldn't. It nearly broke me and I'm so grateful every day it did, because it forced me to honor myself by releasing the stories and emotions that had been holding me back like a self-imposed prison. As I shed those layers I slowly began remembering me and as that process unfolded my power, voice, and confidence returned. But the biggest gift is emotional freedom- I'm no longer consumed by or get caught up in other peoples' opinions, stories, or narratives and I'm not triggered by much of anything. If I do get triggered, it's an invitation to check in and see what I need. I'd love to know if you can relate? Do you feel misunderstood or unseen? Do you feel like people really know you? 💗

Most of the women I work with embody elements of both, but often feel they have to wear the mask of being practical and brainy to be acceptable, seen and accepted by the world. They're afraid if they show too much emotion or their spiritual sides people will judge and reject them. We dive into where these stories and feelings came from. So often it was when they were little girls expressing themselves, so they shut it off. I've been there too, especially because I was a scientist and a doctor. I had a very strong emotional and spiritual aside, and I suppressed it until I couldn't anymore. Midlife came and it said, "I'm gonna keep beating you over the head until you acknowledge who you are." And so I listened after a little bit of fear and resistance. I want that for you because it's absolute BS that we're conditioned this way. It's time to be deconditioned and choose yourself! 🥰💃🏼 How do you see yourself? Are there parts of you that you feel you need to hide still?
