I’ve been traveling but happy to say I’ve landed home in Panamá. I understand there are a few glitches going into the second and third section. If you have experienced any difficulty, please let me know so I can try to make all the fixes at once. I will also be posting a call in a couple of weeks to check in and see where you’re at what you need. The interest is growing in this framework and I’m super excited to be able to share it widely. Thank you for your participation.

For those of you in the first wave if you have finished module five and it’s not giving you the link for section two please reach out. I will then send you the link for section 2.

About 70% of people never finish the courses they start. As we’re approaching the halfway point of the first beta wave of Emotional Surfing, our group seems to be following that same pattern. And honestly, that’s okay. Life shifts. Capacity changes. Rather than focusing on who’s no longer participating, I’d love to open the door for a few more people to join us while we’re still in beta. If you’ve been watching from the sidelines and have been curious, this is your invitation. I’m opening a few more free spots for this first wave. Comment WAVE below, and I’ll send you the details.

These are tools you may find useful as you are riding the waves of emotions

Today I had an unexpected moment during a bodywork session. A memory surfaced of being held by my mother, and emotion came up with it. What caught my attention wasn’t the emotion itself. It was how quickly shame appeared alongside it. Not shame about anything I had done. Shame about being seen feeling something. I sat with it instead of shutting it down. And after a few minutes, the shame faded while the emotion remained. It made me wonder how often the feeling isn’t actually the hard part. Maybe the hard part is the story we learned about having feelings in the first place. Today was a reminder that emotions tend to move when we let them. Shame is often what keeps them stuck. This is what we’ve been working on in the first wave and places I’m still navigating.
