Your imperfection is perfect and your reflections resonate so much with me. Here’s to near-constant prayer, embracing DeepWinter and going within, Ro Marlen and all her wisdom for us, finding the courage to live through the pain of creating boundaries with unhealthy parents, grieving the basic human necessities we never got to have, and daring to slow down and out of nervous system rev in whatever ways we can. Holy shit, being human is so intense. You do it well, my friend.
P.S. I’m intentionally making it a practice to do more swearing. This Good Girl is reclaiming her soul/power/life/body/wildness and needs a good deal more angry, edgy self-expression.
What a moving, inspiring, powerful, beautiful read! Your words felt like a warm hug, saying it's ok to feel all those wild things, those difficult things. It's really hitting me today – packing to leave for England for the first family Christmas in 5 years. The last years have been me alone at home, much loved silence, creativity, down time. It feels uneasy to go back to the loudness and business. A part of me wants to stay home, hide in bed, wait it out. Old patterns resurfacing. Panic creeping in. Deep breath. It's ok.
Thank you, Karna! And I can't wait to unleash that wonderful, fiery yet soft beauty of a podcast episode into the world very soon!
Oh, I’m so glad to hug you with my words. As you know, I can 100% relate to living if a different country and then going home. I so believe in you, what you have built within, and that you will find a way to not self abandon and be with yourself while in the busyness. I see you being very curious about it all and other people’s stuff falling of you like a goose. Sending you much love! 💜 🪿🤓
Still thinking about this post long after I first read it. Your wisdom always resonates for days and days. I spent my holiday with mildly functional parents, reliving the patterns that have persisted with them for 38 years. I hadn't thought about it like that, about the patterns and about my age-old methods for dealing with them. The Christmas holidays always feel somewhat traumatic for everyone involved and I just wonder why we're still trying to do it, over and over again, even though it's painful and uncomfortable? Currently plotting with my husband on how to do something new and fresh and break with these old patterns next year. They're not serving.
Nothing makes me happier than reading this comment. Just bringing curiosity to patterns allows for new possibilities to emerge as you so beautifully are noticing. I can’t wait to hear about your new fresh ideas! ❤️❤️
Oooh. I love that you love it! The more we claim it, the more potent it is. I did my first practice yesterday and it was so lovely! Sending you all my love and many winter blessings! 💜🎁❄️

Fuck yeah!
Hear hear!!!! Yes, to us and being held by life. Thank you my darling! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, Karna! I love this! Makes me feel warm and curious to calm down and more and more open up to my inner nature. 😊🥰
