your WHOLENESS is HOLINESS and is here to be expressed fully....

The emotional fatigue and soul-sucking-depletion that you experience by ignoring your own desires is real.
Somehow along the way, many of us learned that it was selfish to WANT.
Somehow along the way, many of us began to associate SELF-SUFFICIENCY with SUPERIORITY.
We were fed (and gobbled up) the INDEPENDENT WOMAN narrative – I know I did – and pedestalized not needing anyone or anything…because “I can do it all baby!”
And of course, the inverse of that means that if you do need or want help, support, or have an ASK that you are weak, incapable, or unable. ← of course, no one believes that about you but YOU.
When you silo yourself up and become devoid of desire completely you learn to not WANT AT ALL.
I have worked with HUNDREDS of women over the years who hit midlife and tell me, “I don’t even know WHAT I want anymore – I have put everyone else’s needs ahead of my own for so long.”
Sure you can want a new house, more money or a better career. Those are acceptable.
But what if you want more sleep, delicious sex life or freedom to travel as much as you desire?
When a woman owns her desire in life, she is demonstrating a clarity and trust in life.?
She is demonstrating trust in HERSELF.
That means she asks for her friend to pick her kids up from school so she can take that yoga class and she open heartedly receives the generosity.?
And because she feels fed in her life she naturally wants to give because she LIVES A LIFE OF ENOUGHNESS and therefore the channel for giving is wide open for her.

This looks like a woman who no longer is a martyr because there is simply nothing to resent since she schedules in that girls' weekend or alone time or hike in the woods as she feels moved to do so. ← this is called staying in RELATIONSHIP WITH YOURSELF.
She no longer goes down the rabbit hole of keeping score of her partner’s time away and how it measures up to hers because that old, tired practice does not serve her anymore.
A woman who lives from her desire understands that her wants co-create a beautiful existence for herself and for others. She knows that when she is in right relationship with herself, she nourishes growth-oriented relationships with others.
Because the truth is, if you are holding parts of yourself back because they are TOO MUCH or other people WOULDN’T GET IT…the people in your life are not in a whole relationship with you.?
They are only in relationship with part of you.
Your wholeness is holiness and is here to be expressed fully.
Invitations will be going out next month to join this NEW 12-MONTH SALON for women to claim, embody and live from their desire…I’m calling it “The Year of You”. Stay tuned!
