Let’s call it for what it is, Reader.

I want to demystify the word healing.

It’s become a bit of a buzz word… I even use it myself - all the time - it's even in my Instagram handle!

Somewhere along the way, it’s either been overcomplicated, oversimplified, or given the impression that you need to sit on the side of a hill, high in the mountains, chanting om to the higher power! (But since you're here, use the GIF below to take a few deep breaths😉)

But healing isn’t “woo woo”. It isn’t reserved for a certain type of person. And it’s not something that's out there.

Personally, my healing work has saved my life. Literally. You know my cancer story, and how I live well.

And I see the same for so many others, in all sorts of ways.

It’s not something to underestimate.

Because healing, in its simplest form, is this:

🙏🏻 noticing your patterns
🙏🏻 understanding where they came from
🙏🏻 understanding how your mind and body respond
🙏🏻 creating a pause before you react
🙏🏻 softening your inner voice
🙏🏻 letting go of what isn’t yours
🙏🏻 choosing differently, even when it feels unfamiliar

It’s not about becoming someone new.

It’s about meeting yourself where you're at… sometimes for the first time.

And when that happens, things begin to shift.

Not all at once. Not perfectly.

But steadily, and in a way that actually lasts.

It's about self compassion and acceptance - while ditching the guilt and self criticism.

If any part of this sparks a teeny bit of curiosity within you, maybe it's worth considering a new adventure into you.

If a space to explore this more gently with guidance and support will help you (it will help you), I hold that inside my private community for women, The Healing Circle, and you are very welcome there.

Right now, I'm offering a 20% discount for the first time.. for your first 3 months!!

Use the code WELCOME20 on this sign up link.

(And if there are any techy glitches - cause I'm not a tech queen - please let me know.)

We meet twice a month on Zoom, and I have to say, it's a pretty special place filled with women who are real, and raw, and supportive of each other.

It fills my soul.

I'd love you to join us. The discount is available until our next call on the 15th.

So, what’s another word we could use for ‘healing’?
​A recalibration… of your mind, your body, and the way you respond to the world.

What do you think, Reader? Do you have other suggestions we can consider?
