Chatting with Edna White on her Keeping it Real on Purpose ED-Cast was a real delight! Edna brought some good questions along with a natural curiosity and excitement for growth and transformation. We spoke on the importance of claiming agency in order to self-lead our lives, how to navigate the turbulence that can arise when your identity is re-organizing, and what it feels like to embody real self worth (including claiming monetary value for emotional intelligence). Please enjoy the conversation.

Let your answers be in your actions, and in the fertile space between. As fully integrated soul in body, knowledge and words emerge naturally, from that place that seamlessly breathes and sighs. Live life in the weft of action and inaction. Fully inhabit the ink, beyond the hand, beyond the pen, beyond even the page massaged. Glide, slick, lustrous. Be a verb. Be a song. 🦋🦋🦋 It's time to stop compartmentalizing the "spiritual" and "embodiment." My experience is that what splits us from our body is precisely our disconnect from what I call "soul." My late father once wrote in his journal (when he was just a young man in college) about his intention to raise his future children "nurturing and raising within them the deepest questions of life-the spiritual questions." He wrote: "My concern is not which religion they choose to follow, but that they search with intensity for that indestructible part of themselves." In the Sanctuary, we've just been re-entering womb territory. That portal where deep pre-verbal imprints can be rewritten. That space where safety can be reclaimed and re-write our story from deep waters. As we traverse it (and for some of us, re-traverse it), identity evolution quickens and widens, like the contractions of a labor speeding up and rebirth becoming imminent. I am not surprised, but also still totally in awe of this work which can take even the most seasoned practitioners into deeper depths and higher heights, more integrated in the whole spectrum of being both a precious, specific body and an eternal, powerful soul. When we do this rebirthing work it ripples out into our lives, creating waves of positive change. 🦋🦋🦋 INVITATION: Now is an optimum time to join us, as we are in a renewal phase of learning & practicing within the Sanctuary. It is FREE to inquire and to experience a discovery call with me, so please reach out to me here in the Village with any inquiries about this, or visit the CLASSROOM where you'll see information and a link to my calendar.

I really enjoyed being interviewed by Dr. Bach Ho last week, who studied alongside me years ago in the Organic Intelligence® clinical training. It was fun to share on my healing journey through that lens in particular that we share, and to help translate some of it into language for others, particularly around making parallels to chronic illness. Enjoy the full interview here:

Even after immersing myself in somatic integration work and mind-body-spirit alignment for several years, I still sometimes suffer imposter syndrome, and wonder whether the slow, patient, steady space I am holding is really moving the needle for people. Like a gardener diligently showing up to water the soil, pull weeds and fence the garden bed from hungry critters, there's only so much I can do: provide proper conditions, nourish what is organizing, encourage the natural intelligence of the seedlings to take root, soften, and begin to open. But the natural intelligence itself is the thing doing it. I am just the gardener. In a culture that elevates doing, my deepening stance of being, and doing that emerges from being (as opposed to doing untethered from being), sometimes still triggers doubt. Am I missing something? (read: Am I not enough?) The irony is that the more I sink my roots into being, the easier doing becomes. It flows, it reaches further. It lands. It calls situations into my life that resonate with the heart and soul work I am here for. It is humbling and empowering both at once. And so, as I go into four podcast interviews this week (not preparing, just arriving, as me), I hold the torch for you too, to sink your roots deeper, and let your branches reach higher, not straining, but ecstatically unfolding. 🦋🦋🦋 INVITATION into the Body & Soul Sanctuary: Now is an optimum time to join us, as we are in a renewal phase of learning in the Sanctuary. It is FREE to inquire and to experience a discovery call with me, so please reach out in the Village or directly here with any inquiries about this. It's my intention to further your clarity of your heroine's journey, whether or not we end up working together long term. Below is a short video of Sheryl reflecting on how this work has really changed her experience. In particular she shares about the ATTUNEMENT of this work, which is unique from a one-sized-fits-all model of healing, growth and transformation, and how it changes the way we can relate to others through more ease within ourselves.
