Authenticity as a Way of Life

I believe that authenticity in our connections is the balm for these times. We all need those places and spaces and interactions where we can be our human selves in all of the flavors and textures of our experiences.
 
It is my unwavering intention to create those opportunities for my fellow humans to be able to sink into themselves... through various channels.
 
Perhaps it is through reading my words and sharing and having a moment of validation of where you are in your life and remembering that you are not alone.
 
Or through working 1:1 together and accessing that space of personal validation, witness, care, authenticity, and acceptance. 
 
Or through the community that has been cultivated over these many years... built on the premise of authentic connection, vulnerability, truth, empathy, compassion, witness, and acceptance.
 
What I know in my bones is that the very challenges that test us most deeply can also become the source of our greatest gifts—our medicine for the world. For me, this truth lives especially in the realm of community and fuels my passion for bringing women together in spaces that are safe, supportive, and empowering.
 
For over a decade of solo parenting my son, I often felt an aching aloneness. Though friends and bits of community appeared along the way, I rarely felt the safety to be fully authentic—to share the raw truth of my experience and be met with genuine empathy.
 
To really feel seen and heard and honored for my journey without feeling as though I had to justify, coddle, censor, or minimize myself.
 
I vowed in those moments of solitude, as I was deep in my own life process, that when I was fully able to emerge (aka had a child old enough to not need constant tending to), I would create these spaces for my fellow women to come and BE themselves.
 
To cultivate the opportunities for women to drop into their bodies and hearts, connect with themselves, and be in a community of women with respect, honor, compassion, and alignment.
 
I learned long ago that when we are real about our lives and what is unfolding and what we are experiencing, we bridge the gap in our humanity.
 
This does not mean that we are always talking about the inevitable challenges of being human, as, of course, there are always gold nuggets to be had yet.
 
Yet, too many people feel alone and stifled.

I am on a mission to break that mold. To support as many women as I possibly can in their unfolding and becoming through providing safe containers of community for women to be able to drop their armor and transform through this powerful witness and acceptance.
 
The "soft launch" of the Embody & Rise Community Membership is happening for the entire month of September with 50% off the first month (Use the code: EMBODYANDRISE at checkout)! This community membership platform is my way of staying connected, of supporting, and of creating affordable and accessible ways for women to feel less alone on their life journey.
 
It is also a FUN way of getting exercise, accountability, and a moment to oneself in midst of life’s fullness.
 
More details are below!

Curious about the membership but not quite ready to take the leap? Let’s connect. Feel free to set up a 20-minute Zoom chat time with me HERE.
 

Take good care of yourselves and be kind to each other.
