You already know you’re moving too fast. You’ve tried to slow down, taken the long walk, cleared your calendar, carved out a little space. But the stillness feels off. Uncomfortable. Awkward. So you snap back into motion, not because you want to, but because it’s what you know.

In this episode, I go beneath that discomfort. Because slowing down isn’t just a scheduling choice. It’s a nervous system recalibration. It brings you face to face with what you’ve been avoiding, and asks you to meet yourself in a new way, without the rush, without the override, without the performance.

You’ll learn why urgency has felt like safety for so long, why stillness feels edgy, and how to stay with yourself long enough to finally live differently. We’ll also explore The Unhurried Woman, the identity shift required to not just try slowing down, but actually build a life that holds you.

Having already lived and loved enough for 100 lifetimes, along with my licensing and certifications in psychotherapy, sex, love & relationships, inner child healing, eating psychology, somatic therapy, body psychotherapy, conscious relationships, dominatrix training, what I bring to every table is power, truth, rawness, and soul-medicine that touches my clients deeply.

I’ve been through drug addiction, bankruptcy, failed marriages, single motherhood, building successful businesses since I was 18, and more to arrive at the doorstep of women who are ready to unlock and unleash their greatest powers.

I stand before you a woman whose fire ignites those around her.

You’ve heard of the Phoenix. I am her. I know and understand the nuances of change. I am wise beyond my years and an alchemist of the highest order. Self-mastery is my medicine. I know and understand the workings of the body, energy, the heart, and the mind. So when it comes to my clients realizing their inner truths, developing unwavering confidence, and learning to leave everything that doesn’t serve them behind, I have a 100% success rate.

And they are left with uncompromisable lives that FINALLY LEAVE THEM BREATHLESS.
