This week was a reminder that the body always whispers before it screams.
I slipped and fell backwards down the stairs this week. Hit my head, middle back, lower back and elbows on the way down. The stairs were slippery, I knew they were, Jordan even warned me… and somehow I still fell. Part of me feels like I already knew it was going to happen. Maybe intuition. Maybe my body finally forcing me to stop.
Life has been FULL lately. Parenting, being a wife, working full time, holding space for clients while also pouring my soul into creating my very first retreat. My nervous system has honestly been overstimulated for a long time.
At first I thought I was okay… but two days later the headaches got so bad I ended up in hospital and found out I actually did have a concussion. So this week became about rest, recovery and slowing down whether I liked it or not. Which meant rescheduling client appointments.
One man became angry about his appointment being moved and emailed me:
“Thanks for not showing up yesterday, you lost a $50k+ job 👍”
A few years ago, that comment would have destroyed me. I would have spiralled into guilt, people pleasing and making myself wrong for being human.
But this version of me is different.
I replied calmly and told him what had happened — not to justify myself, but to hold up a mirror. Because we never truly know what someone else is carrying behind the scenes.
And honestly… moments like this are why I love shadow work so much. Growth isn’t just what happens in ceremonies, journals and meditations. Growth is seeing how differently you respond when life tests you in real time.
The old me would have abandoned herself to make someone else comfortable.
The healed me chose compassion for myself first. ✨
