Are you ready to discover who you are outside of the religion?
Iām bringing back my 8-week group program, Find Your Truth, created specifically for women who have left Jehovahās Witnesses and are ready to reconnect with themselves.
This program will guide you to heal from the pain of your past, understand the beliefs and fears that still linger, and help you rebuild your identityāon your terms.
Weāll meet once a week via Zoom in a supportive, group-therapy-style setting, where youāll connect with others who truly understand your journey.
Together, weāll cover topics like:
ā¢ Healing from emotionally unavailable parents
ā¢ Letting go of fear and guilt tied to the religion
ā¢ Setting healthy boundaries with family and others
ā¢ Discovering your authentic self and what truly lights you up
If this resonates, leave your email below and Iāll reach out to you š¤

Itās the last day of the 9th retreat Iāve hosted in Costa Rica.
The two brave women Kat & Latisha, complete strangers before this retreat, entered this sacred space with varied intentionsāseeking to release what no longer served them, heal their inner child, work through fears, open their hearts, understand stored trauma, allow others in, and process suppressed emotions.
This week, we delved into raw and vulnerable conversations, touching many of lifeās layers. From addressing sexual trauma to growing up with emotionally unavailable mothers, navigating romantic and family relationships, healing the abandonment wound, and exploring the intricacies of being a women- the depth of exploration knew no bounds.
I guided these remarkable women through two transformative plant medicine journeys:
šµSan Pedro opened their hearts, grounding them in the present and nurturing a profound connection with their bodies.
šPsilocybin gently cracked open their souls, allowing them to surrender to their emotions, courageously addressing deep-seated wounds and traumas long held in their body.
But it wasnāt just the plant medicine that worked its magic; it was the vulnerability, the tears, the laughter, and the unbreakable bond that formed between these two extraordinary women. Strangers, just a week ago, the two women supported each other in a way that touched my heart deeply.
For the first time, Kat and Tisha are putting themselves first, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
As they leave this sacred space, these incredible women carry with them a newfound sense of grounding, lightness, openness, and self-connection. They understand that the real work begins when they return to their everyday lives.
Providing this nurturing sanctuary for deep and profound healing is an honor.šš½

Listen to my latest and very vulnerable podcast episode.
podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beautifully-vulnerabā¦
Coming out of a long relationship can feel like losing a part of yourself, but itās also an opportunity to reconnect with who you arešš½ā¤ļø
Take this time to focus on self-discovery, embrace your independence, and explore what makes you truly happy. Rebuilding after a breakup isnāt just about moving on; itās about reclaiming your sense of self.š
šøš»
Dive into new and old hobbies, surround yourself with positive influences, and remember that healing is a journey, not a destination.
Give yourself the grace and space to grow, and trust that you are on the path to becoming an even stronger, more authentic version of yourself.
I love youā¤ļø

I'm coming out of some of the most profound inner work I've ever done in such a short time. Seven weeks ago, I left Costa Rica for a 10-day ayahuasca retreat. I did four ayahuasca ceremonies, 1 San Pedro ceremony, and one bufo ceremony. Although these experiences were intense, what followed was even more intense! Ram Dass said, "If you think you are enlightened, spend a week with your family." And that's exactly what I did directly after this retreat. I would stay an extra couple of days in Peru after the retreat ended, then head to Sweden, where I would spend my summer, but I got a call from my dad on the day of my last ayahuasca ceremony. This call changed the projection of how my travels were going to go.
I had not been back to Detroit to visit my family in 7 years, mostly because of the shunning my mom gave me. But also, as an adult, I've felt ostracized from my family and never felt like I fit in. I've never had a close relationship with my father, but I feel like, at 87 years old, he's opened up a bit to have some connection. He asked me when I planned to come back to Michigan to see him and the rest of my family. I told him I didn't have plans, but I may come in the fall. He said he wasn't feeling well and that he missed me. He was emotional on this call. My dad is emotionally closed off, so hearing him cry got me emotional as well and made me realize I needed to make this trip happen ASAP. So, I changed my whole trip around and left Peru 2 days after the retreat ended and went straight to Michigan. At first, I thought doing this would be a terrible idea because I would be so open and vulnerable after spending all this time in Peru, but then I thought how it would also be the best time, because of how grounded I would feel. I prayed to stay in this grounded and authentic energy as I spent this week connecting to immediate family and extended family. I stayed at my sister's home and connected with my 21-year-old niece and 26-year-old nephew, who are all grown up now.
What was to come next on this trip, I would not have imagined would have ever happened. After 12 1/2 years of shunning me, my mom wanted to talk to me againā¦
(Will post the rest soon)

ā¤ļøIām about to embark on one of the most powerful experiences of my life! Iām headed to the Sacred Valley in Peru for a 10-day ayahuasca retreat, with my primary intention being to address the trauma stored in my body from the sexual abuse I experienced at 19-20 years old.
My journey with ayahuasca began back in 2015, in the Amazon of Peru, where I started confronting the emotional aspects of the abuse. While I feel Iāve processed much of the emotional pain, I recognize that I dissociated from my body during the experience. One of my key intentions for this retreat is to delve into the physical pain from the abuse and reconnect with my body.
In my latest podcast episode, I talk in detail about this experience and how my body is still holding onto this trauma.
I have so much to share about this subject of sexual abuse, and I canāt wait to talk more about it after my trip!
Thank you for being here and supporting me on this journey.

š“The 8th retreat I've hosted in Costa Rica just ended yesterday.Ā ThisĀ was the most profound and powerful retreat I've held space for to date.Ā
The three brave women, complete strangers before this retreat, entered this sacred space with varied intentionsāseeking to release what no longer served them, heal their inner child, work through fears, open their hearts, understand stored trauma, allow others in, and process suppressed emotions.
In the sacred space we co-created using two plant medicines, San Pedro and Psilocybin, these courageous women unleashed guttural screams and cathartic cries as they faced deep-seated trauma and emotions long confined within them.Ā
A divine force came through me as I worked with @dani_reed to release what she said felt like "death," which she said had been following her whole life. She had stage 3 cancer last year and was able to fight it. This force sucked up so much pain from Daniāmost of which was not even hers. I cried intensely for several minutes. This sadness took over me completely. It's hard to put into words what happened. After this experience, which occurred twice, Dani said she felt free of this energy of death.
@lisi_is_is, who came to be more open to her emotions, experienced a suppressed traumatic memory thatĀ was storedĀ in her body.Ā ThisĀ was linkedĀ to someone who she described as "my favorite person in the world" who recently passed away. She couldn't rememberĀ exactlyĀ what happened, but her body did. This traumatic event, which most likely happened to her before she could even speak, was causing her a list of body-based symptoms to which she had been reacting for most of her life.Ā
@beatriz.cazares, who came to work through deep fears linked to being abandoned when she was 1 1/2 in Mexico by her mother and then living most of her life in the US undocumented. SheĀ was able toĀ be with that scared little girl who still lived inside her. This retreat was twofold as she left her almost 2-year-old daughter with her mother and husband. Leaving her daughter with her mother helped her motherĀ toĀ see how much her granddaughter missed her mom during this week.Her mom wrote her a beautiful letter when she came home that said, "I look at your child, and it hurts my heart remembering that I left you when you were this age. I didn't think this is when children need love from their mothers most. In Ariella, I feel the need to compensate in you that love and care that you needed and I didn't give you at the time, and I apologize".Ā
It was extraordinary to witness the vulnerability, tears, laughter, and unbreakable bond that formed between these three women during the week.Ā
As they leave this sacred space, these incredible women carry a newfound sense of wholeness, lightness, openness, and connection to their bodies. They understand that the real work begins when they return to their everyday lives.Ā
What an honor it wasĀ to create and provide this nurturing, safe cocoon for profound healing and transformation!

In my 9th podcast episode, Russel talks about emotional eating and how he has numbed his emotions with food since he was 5 years old. He shares how he has dieted and worked out in the past, and will lose the weight but it all comes back because he is aware he has not dealt with the mental part.
