When Healing Triggers You (And Why That’s a Good Sign)

5/6/2025

0 Comments

 
I used to think the goal was to never get triggered.

To be so calm, so yogic, so grounded that nothing rattled me.

And I was praised for it.

“She’s so balanced.”
“You’re always so peaceful.”
“I wish I could be that zen.”

But the truth?

I wasn’t enlightened.
I was disconnected.

What looked like grace was often a chronic fawn or freeze response.
I was hyper-aware of everyone else’s emotional state—but completely out of touch with my own.

I silenced my needs.
I softened myself to stay safe.
And in doing so, I lost access to the full, fierce, sacred range of who I really am.

Healing—real healing—changed that.

Not by making me calmer.
But by waking me back up.

Through yoga, somatics, and, deep inner work, I began to feel again.
To come alive in my body.
To notice when I was shrinking and audaciously choose again.
To trust myself more deeply than ever before.

And with that came something unexpected:

I started getting triggered more often.

But instead of seeing that as a setback, I began to understand--

Triggers are invitations.

🔹 Sometimes they show us an old wound still in need of care, an opportunity to re-parent yourself.
🔹 Sometimes they reflect the weight of a season we’re in, the hard stuff. 
🔹 And sometimes, they show up because we’re expanding—growing into a new version of ourselves our nervous system isn’t used to holding yet.

Growth can feel like contraction before expansion.
Healing can feel like discomfort before ease.

But here’s what’s possible on the other side:

✨ You respond instead of react.
✨ You move through hard days without shutting down.
✨ You stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your gut.
✨ You soften into your body instead of pushing past it.
✨ You feel strong enough to be present with your kids, your partner—and most importantly, *yourself.*

That’s the kind of woman I work with.
That’s the kind of woman I’ve become.

And that’s what we’re nurturing together inside The Nourished Woman Membership.

We’re diving deep into the nervous system, using breathwork, somatic practices, and a grounded approach to expansion. Not just so you can cope--but so you can thrive.

So you can hold more joy, clarity, and calm without having to hold it all together.

We don’t do this work to be perfect.
We do it to be present. To feel the relief, of fully owning who you really are. 

To stop shrinking and start shining.

If you’re ready to feel more at home in your body, more anchored in your life, and more connected to your inner fire—I’d love to welcome you in.

No pressure. Just a warm invitation.
The door is open.

One Year of The Nourished Woman + a Simple Breath Practice That Can Change Everything

5/1/2025

0 Comments

 
Amazingly, it’s been one whole year since The Nourished Woman Membership first opened its doors.

This space—born out of a deep desire to help women like you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and come home to yourself in an easy and accessible way—has grown SO much. 

Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or are just discovering my work, I want to say thank you. Thank you for showing up for yourself. For listening to the quiet whisper inside that says: there’s another way to feel. And for being part of a movement that’s redefining growth and healing, self-care, and helping women life more fully expressed.

As we move into May—a month that often feels like a blur of busy schedules, transitions, and overwhelm—I want to slow us down. Together.

That’s why this month inside the membership, we’re focusing on one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have: the breath.

Why Breathwork Matters (Especially Now)

Your breath is more than just a survival mechanism—it’s a doorway.

A doorway into calm. Into presence. Into your body.
When you learn to breathe better, you feel better.
You regulate your nervous system. You shift out of fight-or-flight. You reduce emotional reactivity. You move from frazzled to focused, disconnected to grounded.
​
Even one slow breath can send a signal of safety to your entire system. 

Sound like something you need? Check out this FREE 6 minute breathing practice to soak in the benefits right now. 
Over the past year, it’s evolved because of you. Your feedback. Your growth. Your presence.

This month, we’re celebrating that with:

✨ A New Monthly Workshop Series – Members now get exclusive access to live workshops on topics like breathwork, sensuality, emotional resilience, yoga philosophy, and more. These are spaces to learn, reflect, and integrate—without pressure or perfection.

🎁 A Fun Giveaway to Celebrate YOU – Every time you complete a practice in May, you’ll be entered to win one of three gorgeous prizes (think: a spot in one of my retreats, a relaxation kit, and cozy restorative socks). The more you show up for yourself, the better your chances!

Curious if The Nourished Woman Membership might be for you?

Whether you're healing from the past, navigating motherhood, or simply trying to get through the day with more patience and presence—know this:

You are not alone. You don’t need to hustle your way to peace. And you don’t need hours of practice to feel better.

Just one breath. One practice. One moment of choosing yourself makes all the difference.
Let this be a gentle invitation back into your body + soul.

The Nourished Woman is here to support your nervous system, your emotional well-being, and your ability to show up as the woman you want to be - body, mind and spirit.

✨ Explore the membership here → The Nourished Woman Membership (it's only $47/month)

You belong here. And I’d love to walk this journey with you.

With love,
