The Wisdom of Trauma - An Invitation
Several months ago a friend shared a link with me to watch a documentary called The Wisdom of Trauma. When I say that it changed my life - that would be an understatement. It literally ushered in so much healing, self compassion, and awareness - and started me on my path to learn as much as I could about becoming "trauma - informed".
The people who have created this documentary release it for a limited time and then it goes back into the "vault". You have until October 10th to view this for free. If you have experienced trauma (spoiler alert - after this last year I think it is fair to say we have ALL experienced it) please take the time to watch this. It will be an hour well spent. Feel free to forward this email invitation or the actual link to someone who would benefit or gain some resources or validation about their lived experience.
Please feel free to reach out to let me know what you thought about this. Oh! And stay tuned to learning about how Essential Oils and Human Design...
Are you Designed to Emote or Amplify Emotions?
Shining a light on emotional intelligence is a HUGE part of my life’s purpose. I wanted to share some information that I pray supports you during these VERY emotional times. Human Design has given me a powerful perspective on this topic so let’s dive in.
A little more than half the population (53%) is designed to EMOTE. They are literally here to feel all the feels to ride the wave or waves of their emotion over and over again - just like the waves in the ocean. There are breaks in each set but when the set rolls in the wave begins to rise, peak, and crash. Then it washes onto shore and returns back to do the whole thing over again and again. When you KNOW you are emotional and you begin to observe the patterns of your wave, to give yourself permission to rest (and have time alone) after your wave crashes and then to show up in all of your power when you are at the height of your wave and you feel energized and awesome! You also need to ride...
WHEN YOU FIND A PART OF YOUR PURPOSE
Purpose is such a powerful word and driving force for me right now. I have done quite a bit of personal and professional development to really get clear on what my purpose is. I evaluate how I should be spending my time to ensure that I am living each day within my gifts, talents, and purpose. One tangible way that I actively shine my light is through walking myself and others through the Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT). I am excited to share this with you and why I love it so much. Spoiler alert: it has bits of pieces of truths that have played a HUGE part in MY healing process.
This technique was developed by Dr. Benjamin Perkus. He is a Clinical Psychologist by trade as well as a Young Living Essential Oils Leader. He intentionally chose bits and pieces from proven psychological techniques coupled with essential oils that have research based evidence to positively affect our emotional state. Fun fact: did you know that of our 5 senses – our sense of smell is the only one that...
