Everything feels like it’s changing
Hi fellow phoenix,
Everything feels like it’s changing. Can you feel it?
I know I’m not the only one with my antennae out—feeling the seismic shifts in our world. And while there’s a lot we can know from what we’re seeing out there, I want to speak to what I’m feeling underneath it all.
At times, it feels like too much.
And then, I remember—feeling is my gift. The earth assignment I arrived with. What’s been guiding me this whole time. (My guess? You, too.)
We are remembering that we are the ones our ancestors prayed for.
With enough safety to actually feel—not numb.
With enough collective wisdom to harness the natural intelligence moving through us—the moon, the earth, our bodies, each other.
I feel this remembering in my own body. In the moments I notice the tension between who I was taught to be and who I know myself to be.
We are remembering what patriarchy erased:
That reciprocity is a requirement—with each other and with the earth.
That empathy is not weakness—it is the medicine.
That our feelings are not inconvenient—they are the compass.
This is the call I’m feeling. The one asking us to wake up from our sleepy, safe silence.
And yet—pause here with me. Breathe.
You are not behind. You are not failing. You are not meant to respond to this moment by pushing harder.
This is a choice point. A moment to decide how we will show up in the collective.
We were born in this time for a reason. Our souls chose the curriculum carefully. The quiet suffering of our mother line compounded so that we might see differently. So that we might become more of who we came here to be.
We are remembering who we truly are—perhaps for the first time since patriarchy taught us to forget.
You are not an accident. You are wildly different for a reason.
You are not an inconvenience. You are the medicine.
You are not too loud or too little. You are the dosage of this moment.
When you feel overwhelmed—unlock your remembering.
This time is not asking you to try harder or be better. It is calling for new strategies. New ways of being.
We are no longer safe in our silence and compliance. “The only way out is through.”
We are alive now to reimagine the whole thing.
Like weavers, we reweave the threads that connect us—mixing sparkling light with dark fury, creating something entirely new. A new paradigm.
This is both the reckoning and the remembering.
This time is calling for the daughters who have done the work of feeling and healing. For the mothers rewriting legacies as they tend to their own.
Bring your open heart and clear eyes to the mess.
Empty your mind so you can hear the inner knowing rising from within.
Remember your medicine. Hold it as your prayer.
You are not broken. You are not late.
You are a living, breathing answer to a collective ancestral prayer—alive now, in this body, in this moment, for a reason.
I love your wild hearts so much <3

PS: Last week I wondered (aloud, per usual) if encouraging women to invest in retreats was, indeed, aligned with my mission to empower women to actualize as the version of themselves this moment in history calls for. I have thought about the mix of it all quite a lot, and come to the conclusion that absofuckinglutely yes. As @zengirlmandy commented on that post, “Filling up our own cups during dystopian times is so necessary – sisterhood & solidarity is the oxygen we need to birth a new world.” To connect with women answering the call to wake up, be in their bodies, connect to their hearts, each other, the land and the natural intelligence that will help us feel our way to a better world—join us on retreat. It will be potent, and I'm here for questions.
