No matter who you are, you're somewhere on your journey. And I want to acknowledge that the women who find me are at different places in this journey. So you might be somebody who is so freaking ready to solve your problems and to look at them and to look for solutions and to find ways through and to really commit to a yoga practice. And you might be a woman who is just beginning to explore that you have things going on. Or maybe you've been exploring it for a while, but you've been exploring it through like a really head-based approach rather than actually tuning into your body and doing yoga practice and doing things that might feel a little less comfortable for you, but could actually help you. And there's no shade and there's no shame and there's no judgment here if you are the woman who feels ready or if you are the woman who does not feel ready. Because we all do this work at our own time and in our own way. I know for a fact that some of you will absolutely love the message of the work that I carry and the work that I'm here to steward. And some of you are so not going to love that message or the work that I'm here to steward. There's something else for you. But what I do want to talk about is for the women that I actually end up working with that actually pay to work with me and get support from me in any of the containers that I offer, whether it be one-to-one yoga therapy or doing yoga online with me or going through a group program or whatever it is, there's some common denominators about those women. And I want you to know what they are because if this is you, I think this is gonna make you feel so seen and understood. So these women, the women I work with, like actually work with, are the women who are more interested in solving their problems than staying stuck in them. You don't want to just talk about it on repeat. You want to do something about it. And you want to be the heroine in your own story. You're not interested in telling yourself all the reasons why you can't or you couldn't, or getting tangled up in limiting beliefs. You're so much more interested in questions like how can I? What can I do? Who do I get to be when I shift and change that? This, my love, is who I'm talking about. And also, you're the kind of woman who cares more about freedom. You're more interested than the rest of the years of your life being representative of you being more authentic, more free, having more fun, having more play, pleasure, connection, depth in relationships, honesty, transparency, intimacy. You are more interested in that. And you understand that to get that freedom that I'm talking about, that it takes looking at the patterns, the emotions, the relationship issues, and facing them with support. Because the problems that you look at, you know are the ones that you have power over. You understand that if you avoid, you can't transform. You are also the kind of woman who knows that you could have done differently in the past. You could have made different choices. You could have done this this way instead. You could have said that instead. You could have dealt with this earlier. But instead of letting that stop you now, you've just decided that you're gonna do the complex, beautiful work of shifting how you show up, of learning how to regulate yourself and choose again. And that's not easy. I'm not gonna sit here and be like, oh my gosh, no problem, just shifting how you show up, regulating yourself and choosing again and looking at the hard things. But like also, frankly, I think it's a whole lot easier to be that kind of woman than it is to avoid it because you're really just kicking the can down the road. And you know that now's the time, you hold the power, you have the support, you have the resources, you can get into it. And the women that I work with, they don't have perfect lives or perfect bodies or perfect bank accounts, and they're still the kind of women that are dancing in their living room and knowing themselves deeply enough to show up for their people with a wider open heart. They're the kind of women who meditate before bed because you genuinely just want to be nourished by it, not because somebody is like shoulding you to do it, but you just want to. You're chanting, you're rolling out your yoga mat, you're doing all those practices that nourish you, you're involved in daily rituals that support you. If you are listening to this and you're like, oh my gosh, I am that woman, I may not be as far in the journey as I'm describing to you, but you know you want to get there, and maybe you're some like you're already getting glimpses of this along the way, then I want you to know that I've created more space in my schedule for one-to-one clients because frankly, one-to-one is where women make the biggest gains. This is where I see my clients having the largest growth, the largest shifts, the biggest openings in the way that they're living their life and in the way that they're responding to the experience of living their life, the freedom that we're after, I find it comes faster and easier here. And so if you are interested in talking with me about one-to-one work, then I put some information down in the show notes about it. I'd be so happy to meet with you for free for 30 minutes, see if we're a good fit to work together with no strings attached. And if working together one-to-one just isn't in the cards right now for whatever reason, maybe you don't feel ready, maybe financially it doesn't align, for whatever reason at all, how does 21 days of 10-minute at-home yoga practice sound to you? Because I made a course called Daily Devotion where I literally teach you some of the exact same tools that I teach all my one-to-one clients. So you're gonna get some of the resources that you can apply in real time starting instantly, like you could start today through daily devotion. And you get six-month access to that course, so it's 21 days. Many women I know have gone through the course once and then want to repeat it again or want to go back to certain practices inside, so you've really got time to sink your teeth into it and enjoy it and learn from it and benefit from it. And you can find information about my one to one practice and about daily devotion down in the description. No matter where you are in your journey, I see you and I celebrate you. I see you and I celebrate you. Bye for now.
