✨ THE CIRCLE IS GROWING. ✨

September sold out in 4 days.
October has ONE seat left.
November is officially open with 8 seats available.

And because you all have made it very clear that we need more spaces like this… I’m adding a second Circle each month. 🤍

The Circle is an intimate gathering for women craving something deeper than small talk — a place to slow down, take off the roles we carry, and experience real connection, reflection, and community.

Each month is different, with guided conversation, somatic practices, authentic relating, and space to simply be human together.

No performing.
No fixing.
No needing to have the right words.

Just women gathering intentionally and remembering how good it feels to be seen, heard, and connected.

📍 Frederick/Longmont, CO
🤍 Intentionally kept small
✨ November: 8 seats open
✨ Additional monthly dates coming soon

If you’ve been watching from the sidelines, this is your invitation.

Come sit in Circle with us!

Facilitating breathwork for this beautiful group of women at The Exhale felt like one of those moments where everything I’ve learned, experienced, and been called toward came together in one room.

There is something incredibly powerful about witnessing someone come back into relationship with their own breath.

Breathwork isn’t about forcing a breakthrough or trying to become some new version of yourself. It’s an invitation to meet what is already there — the emotion, the tension, the grief, the joy, the strength, the parts of ourselves we haven’t had enough space to hear.

And for a little while, these women gave themselves that space.

I watched bodies soften. I watched emotion move. I watched women breathe beside one another, witness one another, and allow themselves to be held by community while still having their own deeply personal experience.

Being trusted to facilitate that process is something I will never take lightly.

Sometimes healing doesn’t begin with finding the right words. Sometimes it begins with feeling your feet on the ground, noticing what your body has been carrying, and taking the next breath. 🤍

To every woman who trusted me enough to breathe deeply, feel fully, and let me walk beside you for a piece of that journey — thank you.

What an honor it is to do this work. ✨

I’m still trying to find the words for what happened here.

I walked away from this day feeling deeply grateful, blessed, and humbled.

There are moments when you can feel alignment—not because everything is perfect, but because the energy in the room feels right. The people feel right. The timing feels right. This was one of those moments.

These women arrived looking for something. A place to feel seen. A place to create space for themselves outside of all the roles they carry every day. A place to belong, to soften, to be brave, to heal, and to remember themselves.

And somehow, by the end of the day, a group of women who had mostly arrived as strangers felt like lifelong friends.

There was laughter. Vulnerability. Tears. Courage. Sisterhood. Connection. And so much love.

Each practitioner brought her own kind of magic into this space, and watching their gifts weave together throughout the day was something I will never forget. There is something so reverent about being in the company of the divine feminine—witnessing women hold, honor, and celebrate one another.

This is community.
This is sisterhood.
This is what it feels like to be fully here.

To create a life with room for connection, meaning, healing, beauty, and experiences that make your heart feel impossibly full.

What a gift it is to live a life that feels this heartfelt. 🤍

And what an honor it was to share this day with these women.

The Exhale. Until next time. ✨

Sense of humor, or a coping mechanism with excellent comedic timing. 😂

Humor can create connection, release tension, and help us survive things we didn’t have the tools to process at the time. But sometimes the joke lands before we ever get close to the feeling underneath it.

You don’t have to lose your humor to get curious about what it might be protecting.

What’s your go-to defense mechanism? Tell me in the comments. 👇

I don’t need every conversation to be deep. I just need it to feel real.

The high-pitched voices, over-performing, forced enthusiasm, and conversations where everyone is saying the “right” thing but nobody is actually saying anything? My nervous system clocks out. 😂

Give me awkward. Give me honest. Give me a little weird. Give me the version of you that doesn’t need to perform being likable.

Let me guess… you found this an odd thing to say?

There’s a difference between setting a boundary and trying to “win” an interaction.

Lately I’ve seen phrases like “What an odd thing to say,” “That’s an inside thought,” and similar responses being praised as emotionally intelligent. I understand why people are drawn to them—they’re concise, they feel empowering, and they shut down inappropriate comments quickly.

But I think we should pause and ask what they’re actually accomplishing.

Many of these statements don’t communicate an impact, a need, or a boundary. Their primary function is to evoke embarrassment. They say, “You should feel ashamed that you thought or said that.”

As a therapist in training, that’s something I wrestle with.

Shame can absolutely stop a behavior in the moment. It can also stop vulnerability, honesty, repair, and connection. It often creates defensiveness rather than reflection.

That doesn’t mean we should tolerate rude, invasive, or offensive comments. Boundaries are essential. But there’s a meaningful difference between:

“That comment doesn’t sit well with me.”
“I’m not comfortable discussing that.”
“Can you help me understand what you meant?”

…and responding in a way that’s designed to make someone feel foolish.

Should we be teaching our clients “if they go low, you go lower”?

Sometimes a sharp response is warranted. Sometimes you’re prioritizing your own safety or ending a conversation quickly. Context matters!

But if we’re teaching these phrases as the gold standard of emotionally healthy communication, I think we’re missing an opportunity to model something deeper.

As therapists especially, I don’t believe our job is to fight shame with shame. I think our work is to communicate clearly, hold firm boundaries, and leave room for accountability without unnecessary humiliation, and show our clients how to do the same.

Curious where others land on this. Do you see these phrases as healthy boundary-setting, or do they sometimes cross into socially acceptable shaming in the form of a “clap back”?

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t asking for help, it’s letting someone who knew an old version of you witness who you are now. If that’s you, I see you. ❤️

Fellow neurospicy/ ADHD girlie here who DOES occasionally like being related to- coming to you with a lesson I had to learn in grad school.

One of the quickest ways to deepen your relationships is to slow down the urge to relate your own story. Connection doesn’t always come from saying, “Me too.” It comes from helping someone feel fully heard first. This is one of the reasons people keep coming to therapy- to feel heard!

Signs you’re actively listening:
• You aren’t planning your response while they’re talking.
• You ask curious follow-up questions.
• You reflect back what you heard before offering advice.
• You tolerate pauses instead of rushing to fill them.
• You seek to understand before being understood.

Sometimes people don’t need a solution—they need your presence.

👇 Which one do you find hardest: resisting the urge to relate, fixing, or interrupting?

“Selective self-disclosure can strengthen the therapeutic alliance.”

What’s the funniest thing a therapist has ever said to you? 😂😂😂
