Wow..

Sometimes the problem isn’t your effort. It’s what your effort is attached to.

Look at the boat.

The person is rowing hard. They are sweating, pushing, pulling, doing everything we normally associate with progress. From the outside, it looks like determination.

But there is a problem. The boat is anchored.

And this is one of the most painful truths about life: you can work incredibly hard and still go nowhere.

We are often taught that whenever life isn’t moving, the answer is to try harder. Wake up earlier. Work longer. Push through. Be more disciplined.

But effort only creates movement when it is connected to the right direction.

You can spend years trying to save a relationship that has already ended.
You can keep pursuing a career that quietly destroys you.
You can keep proving yourself to people who have already decided not to value you.
You can keep carrying guilt for something you cannot change.
You can keep chasing a goal simply because you have already invested so much in it.

And because you have worked so hard, you convince yourself that stopping would mean failure.

But sometimes stopping is not failure.

Sometimes stopping is intelligence.

The anchor can be many things: fear, attachment, pride, resentment, comfort, an outdated identity, or the belief that because you started something, you must finish it.

And here’s the philosophical question:

What if the next level of your life doesn’t require more strength from you? What if it requires less weight?

There is a difference between rowing harder and moving forward.

One is effort. The other is progress.

So before you ask yourself, How can I work harder?

Ask a better question …… What am I still attached to that is preventing my effort from becoming movement?

Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do isn’t to row harder.

It’s to lift the anchor.

Reflecting on my week this morning: I saw 77 people facilitating 10 1/2 hours of groups, an additional 13 people for individuals, 4 EMDR clients & 2 teenagers. Plus, my FMBA Family court time which I value deeply.. That’s 96!!Ninety six names, ninety six HUMANS with their own narratives & experiences, ninety six people searching for hope & their own understanding of love & belonging. If the statistics are right that say “one person impacted by substance abuse or untreated mental health directly impacts a MINIMUM of 8 people” then the front row audience for me this week has me speechless. That’s 768 lives..

Stay healthy my fellow travels out there in this world carrying the light. Rest, eat good food & move your body. For you 🫶🏼

Over halfway through the second step (10 hours of EMDR consultations) towards certification.. Micro steps in the right directions…

I am in awe of how EMDR works.. Ive personally been witnessing transformations right in front of my eyes..

Most researched-evidence based therapy out there.. Non medical.. Non medicated healing.. The brain healing the brain ⭐️

I am so blown away by the outpouring of support & requests from people wanting to begin EMDR therapy with me.. I successfully enrolled several individuals this week and completed stage one for all of them. Two men, one female & two teenagers. Next week: the processing. That’s when the magic starts🤞🤞

Words can’t capture how honored I am that the people that I work with trust me enough to jump in a boat with me with no guarantees of the outcome.. That is the foundation of vulnerability and in my opinion, solid & tangible proof for so many of them that they are already healing..

I literally can not wait to get to the next phase, but am 💯 committed to respecting the process and following the flow 🙏

I am now an EMDR Provider-in training. Got my 40 hour training done & 10 hours of initial consults scheduled.. Already have 3 clients scheduled to start the process & feeling so grateful. Something new is brewing ☀️
