WHEN EMOTIONS SPEAK THROUGH THE BODY

Have you ever talked through a difficult experience, yet your body still holds the tension?

Maybe you notice muscle tightness, fatigue, digestive discomfort, poor sleep, or that persistent feeling of being on edge.

Talk therapy can be a valuable part of healing. But when your body still doesn't feel settled, a holistic mind-body approach may offer another avenue to explore.

THE EMOTION CODE & BODY CODE

These energy-based approaches explore what practitioners call “trapped emotions” and energetic imbalances. My work invites you to consider how emotional experiences and physical sensations may be connected.

SPOOKY2 FREQUENCY WELLNESS SUPPORT

I also offer optional Spooky2 frequency programs selected around personal wellness goals, including relaxation and comfort. These approaches are complementary wellness practices, not proven treatments for physical symptoms.

Your body has a remarkable capacity for regulation, adaptation, and repair. Supporting your well-being can involve both emotional understanding and attention to your body's responses.

Have you done the emotional work but still feel the physical effects of stress? Perhaps it's time to explore another dimension of mind-body wellness.

From My Heart to Yours ❤️

Known. Loved. Renewed.

This morning I found myself doing something I hadn’t expected to do—helping fill in for our pastor, who has been very ill this week, and taking on several responsibilities during worship.

I was nervous. Really nervous.

That surprised me because I’ve spoken publicly many times before. But there I was, feeling those familiar butterflies and wondering whether I would say everything just right. As the service went on, though, I began to relax. I became more comfortable, more poised, and more confident.

Did I make a couple of goofs? Of course I did. I’m human.

Later, after coming home, having a bite to eat, and getting some much-needed rest, I began thinking about something we had reflected on just yesterday during our Creative Healing gathering:

“I have called you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1b

God knows my name.

He knows me—not simply the person others see on Sunday morning, but the woman underneath it all. He knows my heart, my intentions, my strengths, my fears, my mistakes, and the places where I am still growing.

And He knows you that way, too.

I thought about the loving church community I worship with and realized that they probably weren't sitting there evaluating whether everything was done perfectly. More likely, they were grateful that several of us were willing to step forward when our pastor couldn't be there.

Yet how easily we fear criticism. How quickly we replay something we said or did and wonder, Did I do that right? What did they think? Should I have done it differently?

Why do we give those questions so much power?

Scripture tells us, “You are complete in Him.” — Colossians 2:10

That doesn't mean we never make mistakes. We do. It doesn't mean we stop learning, growing, apologizing when necessary, or receiving constructive correction.

It means our worth was never dependent upon getting everything right in the first place.

We are known. We are loved. And when life leaves us tired, uncertain, bruised, or questioning ourselves, God renews us.

Life has a way of knocking us down and making us forget who we are—and whose we are. Sometimes I think one of the most healing things we can do is become quiet for a while, step away from all the other voices, and reflect on what our Creator says about us.

I find myself returning to one question:

Do I really believe what God says about me?

Not just when I'm confident.
Not just when I've done everything well.
But when I've stumbled, worried, second-guessed myself, or wondered what someone else might think.

Do I believe Him then?

That's a question worth sitting with.

And perhaps today you need that reminder as much as I did:

He knows your name.
He loves you.
And He is still renewing you.

If you could use a little encouragement—and I think all of us can from time to time—I would love to invite you to join us for A Women’s Gathering: Known. Loved. Renewed. — Come Away Whole, Saturday, October 3, at Bethesda Presbyterian Church.

Maybe these few hours can be a time to step away from all the other voices and hear again the One who says:

“I have called you by name; you are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1b

❤️ FROM MY HEART TO YOURS — When Sleep Doesn't Come

I have struggled with sleep for most of my life.

Some of this, I believe, goes back to long-term stress and trauma during childhood. And some of it, I will readily admit, has simply been poor sleep habits!

Over the years, I've tried many of the things we're told are "good" sleep habits. Some have worked for me. Some haven't.

And that's something I think we sometimes forget:

We are all different.

Our nervous systems are unique. When your nervous system has spent a long time in fight-or-flight, it can become accustomed to being on alert—even when there is no immediate danger.

Remember, your nervous system is doing what it was designed to do: protect you.

Our job is to begin helping it recognize when it is safe to settle.

Over the years, I've tried many approaches. I've had hormone testing through what's called a DUTCH test and taken supplements recommended based on those results. I've worked on getting to bed at a regular time. I've changed routines. I've listened to experts and learned about sleep and the brain.

Some things helped for a while.

But there were still many nights when my body was tired and my brain was stuck in overdrive.

I'd lie there thinking and thinking and thinking...

Why did I say that today?

Should I have done something differently?

What do I need to do tomorrow?

And then there was the anxiety.

At times, especially after my mom transitioned, I would wake during the night with anxiety that sometimes became actual panic.

And, of course, once you're awake, another thought can quickly join the others:

"I HAVE to get back to sleep!"

Then you start worrying about how little sleep you're getting and how terrible you're going to feel tomorrow.

One thing I learned from Dr. Caroline Leaf really stayed with me. She teaches that the fear and anxiety about not sleeping can actually be more harmful to our brain and body than the lack of sleep itself.

That was profound for me.

Because suddenly I began to see the mind-body connection happening right there in the middle of the night.

I'm awake.

My mind says, "Oh no, I'm not sleeping."

That thought creates anxiety.

My body responds to the anxiety.

My nervous system becomes more alert.

And now I'm trying desperately to sleep while my body is receiving signals that it needs to stay alert!

Understanding that began changing the way I approached those nights.

Instead of becoming frightened or frustrated because I wasn't sleeping, I began learning relaxation techniques and ways of helping my mind and body settle.

It didn't happen overnight. And I certainly don't sleep perfectly now.

But I've learned something important along the way:

Sometimes we need to stop fighting our nervous system and begin working WITH it.

Think about everything you have experienced throughout your life. Your nervous system may have learned protective patterns during times when you genuinely needed them.

Those patterns don't always disappear simply because life becomes safer.

So yes—educate yourself.

Listen to the experts.

Practice healthy sleep habits.

Try different approaches and pay attention to what actually helps your mind and body.

And seek professional help when you feel you need it.

But please don't compare yourself with someone who says, "Just do this and you'll sleep eight hours every night!"

What settles one person's nervous system may not settle yours.

Over the years, I've found several relaxation techniques that have helped me personally. If you'd like to know what has worked for me, you're welcome to message me. Maybe I'll make that another From My Heart to Yours post.

And finally, remember how uniquely you were created:

"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made."
Psalm 139:14

Tonight, if sleep doesn't come as easily as you'd like, perhaps instead of immediately worrying about it, remind yourself:

"Right now, I am safe. I don't have to force myself to sleep. I can simply allow myself to rest."

Sometimes learning to rest comes before learning to sleep. ❤️

None of these cost anything, and that’s exactly why they get overlooked.

We’re so used to thinking healing requires a supplement, a protocol, or a $200 device that we forget the fastest reset available to us is usually free and already in front of us.

A hum, a yawn, five minutes outside.

These aren’t small things. They’re direct lines to your vagus nerve, and your body is built to respond to them.

Save this one for the next time you’re spiraling and don’t know where to start. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Which of these is missing from your week right now?

From My Heart to Yours 💜

I've been learning so much about the connection between chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), lipedema, and lymphedema. I want to share part of my journey in hopes it encourages someone else who may be searching for answers.

For months I kept telling healthcare providers, "Something changed after my fall." In October 2024, I fell and sustained a severe hamstring tear. Thankfully, surgery was not needed, but I knew my body was different afterward.

Some providers listened. Others did not.

I later discovered a note in my medical record from a physician I chose not to continue seeing that attributed my leg issues to obesity, yet that conversation never happened during my appointment. That experience reminded me how important it is to be your own advocate.

Here are a few things I am learning:

• Lipedema has a strong genetic component. Research suggests that in someone who is predisposed, trauma, surgery, or hormonal changes may trigger symptoms or make the condition more noticeable. While researchers continue to learn more, my fall appears to have been the event that brought my symptoms to light.

• Ask questions. You know your body. If you feel dismissed, seek another opinion. A good healthcare provider will partner with you.

• Keep learning. Lipedema is more than fat. It can involve connective tissue, the lymphatic system, and the veins.

Most importantly, I am choosing hope.

This is a health challenge—not my identity. I choose not to say "my lipedema" because it is something I am walking through, not who I am.

God says, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine" (Isaiah 43:1).

He does not call us by our diagnosis. He calls us His own.

Your diagnosis may be part of your story, but it is never your identity.

A reminder of hope and healing found in unconditional LOVE.
