Today Is Stressful, Here's My Free Gift To You


Hey Babe,

At times, this year has been a LOT, and felt pretty damn rude.  

I don’t know about you but I feel like I have been tested and forced to shift in areas I never expected. As the days have been coming closer to the election, it feels like there is an energetic pimple thats ready to POP. LOL sorry I am disgusting, but that example just works. I am sure you can feel the collective weight of all that is happening in the world. This year has kicked up so much shit that was sitting under the surface, including; fear, panic, confusion, grief and rage individually as well as globally. Because of the chaotic nature of this year, we tend to minimize the tools. So often when shit hits the fan, we rarely reach for the things that keep us afloat during the darkness. We can do this for a multitude of reasons including feeling way too overwhelmed to know where to begin, thinking its "selfish or greedy" to take care of yourself when the rest of the world feels like its crumbling around you or the paralysis that tends to take over when things fall apart. All are valid, AND I wanted to alleviate some of that stress for you by making your life super simple. Creating a free e-Book, where your tools can all live in one place. My book “From perfectionist to pleasure expert” is meant to give you a taste of some tools that you can reach for, and start using now. So often we think to ourselves “ I don’t even know where to BEGIN.” Got it: Genie here, wishes granted- boom, read this damn e-Book. This book is for ALL OF US, especially those who struggle to reach for joy when we are in the shit. This book is quick and easy and gives you simple, digestible tools to drop from your head into your body. 

It makes sense that during a shit storm our brain is HELLA resistant to pleasure. We live in a society that profits from our pain while simultaneously shames pleasure. Teaching us that pleasure is gross, selfish and dirty. I am going to let you in on a little secret, it’s a fucking lie. You see, the more you hate yourself and resist joy; the more cash flow to these mega companies profiting off of your pain. Reclaiming your radiance and pleasure is a pure act of rebellion and badassery. Not only is it a total rockstar move, but do you understand the health, psychological and emotional benefits of pleasure? There’s A LOT, including the ability for the nervous system and body to thrive and heal more deeply from cultivating a relationship to pleasure. Why? Because pleasure allows you to relax, it gives signals to the body & brain that you can get out of flight/fight/ freeze mode and settle into safety. The benefits are endless (and listed in the free e-Book), but beyond that it gives us our power back. So often we rely on outside things for joy, especially during heavy times.  We lean on people, drugs, food, alcohol, money or the newest Gucci bag. The high is quick and usually comes with a crash. Yet, when you know how to create your own pleasure consistently through all of the ups & downs that life throws at us, you’ve hit the fucking jackpot. Harnessing and embodying feeling good and what lights you up is one of the most powerful things you can ever learn. You won’t need to depend so much on outside sources, you will know how to fill yourself up time and time again and live from a place of true power.
