A Love Letter to the Woman Who’s Been Moving Too Fast
Have you ever stopped to notice how much of your life is lived in response to urgency?
The alarm goes off. The day begins. And from the moment your feet hit the floor, you’re responding. To needs. To noise. To schedules. To the quiet pressure to do more, be more, handle it all.
You override tiredness with caffeine. You push through emotion with productivity. You silence your intuition with logic—because logic feels safer than softness in a world that rarely makes space for feeling.
We’ve been conditioned to keep going at all costs. To value pace over presence. Output over alignment. Even when our bodies whisper, “I need something different.”
But here’s the truth: You are not a machine. You were never meant to function like one.
You are a rhythmic, cyclical, tender being. Especially as a woman.You were designed to move in seasons, not schedules. To ebb and flow. To rise and rest. To live guided not just by what is urgent, but by what is true.
Your inner rhythm isn’t broken. It’s simply been ignored.
Maybe your body’s been asking for:
Rest without guilt
Slowness without apology
Creativity without outcome
Silence without pressure to fill it
Maybe the fatigue that lingers, the tension that builds, the tears that stay just under the surface—aren’t problems to solve, but invitations to listen.
What if your discomfort isn’t a flaw in your system, but a signal from your soul? A loving nudge back toward alignment with your natural pace.
So let me gently ask you:
What have you been ignoring about your rhythm… that now needs your attention?
The exhaustion that keeps returning.
The grief you’ve postponed because there’s no time to feel it.
The softness that feels like a luxury in a hard-edged world.
The truth you know in your bones, but haven’t spoken aloud.
This is where we begin in both Softening Into Safety and Anchor.
Not with force. Not with another plan, another goal, another box to check. But with presence. With noticing. Feeling. Softening.
Softening Into Safety is a free, live workshop happening on May 20th. Just one hour. One practice. One deep breath of permission. (Live only—no replay)
And Anchor is a 6-week journey beginning June 2nd. A slower space for women in transition. Whether you’re navigating change, loss, burnout, or an unshakeable longing for more ease—Anchor is not here to fix you. It’s here to walk with you as you return to yourself.
To remember the rhythm that’s always been yours. To feel the ground beneath your feet again. To soften enough that you can hear the truth of your own heartbeat.
If any part of you is whispering yes, even quietly—You’re invited.
DM me or reply to join. Your rhythm is not too much. It’s your way home.
