For most of my life I was the good adoptee. The easy one. The one no one had to worry about.

But I was living inside stories that kept me safe:

A) If I am perfect, I won’t be left again.

B) If I keep everyone happy, I will finally be wanted.

C) If I stay small and quiet, I will be safe.

I didn’t choose these stories. Their roots reach back to being separated from my first family at 3½ months old. For a long time they helped me survive. By my late twenties, they were suffocating me.

What once kept you safe may now be keeping you far from yourself. The good news? You can meet that part of you TODAY with compassion.

Start by creating space for your inner world.

Leaving the BIPOC Adoptee Conference today? Take a deep breath with me first.

Notice what your body is holding tonight. The full heart. The tenderness. Maybe some grief that got stirred, being around that many adoptees who just get it. That’s a lot to carry home, and if you feel wide open or wordless right now, that’s all valid.

The meaning of an experience lives in what we do after. In the pause. letting ourselves feel it and make sense of it.

That’s INTEGRATION. And when we skip it, all of it fades before it can create lasting change.

Some of it we can do alone, journaling, resting. But some things ask for more. Something shifts when we say what we lived out loud and someone stays with us while we do.

Come join us next Sunday. 💛

Integrate & Ground — a virtual session for BIPOC adoptees to pause, feel, give voice to what we’ve lived, and settle it in the body, together.
Sunday, August 2 · 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 6pm CEST.

👉🏾 Link in bio to save your spot. Registration closes Friday, July 31.

P.S. If you’re not ready for a live session but still want support landing tonight, I also left a free guided meditation in my bio to help you ground and find inner belonging.

I learned early to be good. Don’t ask for too much. Read the room before you read yourself.

For many BIPOC adoptees, easy is the price of staying. The version of you that never risks being sent away again.

What it costs:

~Anger you swallow before it reaches your throat
~Needs you hold back or can’t name
~A self you can describe better than you can feel

Wholeness asks us to do the inner work. Let someone see you fully: the light AND the shadow.

Where in your life are you still being the easy one?

👉🏾 COMMENT or DM me „INNER SAFETY“ and I’ll send you my free meditation to help you create inner safety.

So excited for our virtual mini-retreat with Lian tomorrow. 🙌🏾💫

If you’ve been wondering what it actually feels like to meet your inner world with care— „Hold It All“ is the perfect first step.

No experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Lian and I will guide you through 80 minutes of somatic practice and reflections, held in community with other BIPOC adoptees who get it.

THIS is the power of community:

„I’ve been moving through emotions I never thought I’d meet, honoring myself, and taking up space in my truth.. incredible beings who understand & honor my disenfranchised grief like no other..“ ~Soumi

Sunday, June 28 on Zoom.
Link in bio — last spots available.

What would it mean to spend 80 minutes being held instead of holding everything alone?

06/25/2026

As an adoptee and mother, joy seemed fleeting or not fully available to me.

Too much. Not worthy of deserving.

What changed was building the somatic capacity to hold deep emotions, also including my grief.
No overthinking, but actually feel them — in my body, with other adoptees who didn’t need me to explain the complexity of it all.

That’s what we’re doing this Sunday.

👉🏽 Hold It All — June 28, Zoom, 80 min

Come build that capacity with us.

For a long time, I didn’t know how to stay with grief.

I could talk about it.
Analyze it.
Understand it.

But feeling it in my body felt like too much.

So I stayed busy.
I overplanned.
I filled the quiet before anything tender could rise.

Slowly, I learned: my body wasn’t avoiding the work.
It was protecting me.

Now I practice something different:

A hand on my chest.
One breath.
A soft whisper:

*I’m here with you.
I feel you.*

This is the inner work we’ll explore inside **Hold It All**, our somatic mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees on June 28.

Grief and joy, held with more safety.

As an adoptee, Holding my son has opened feelings I thought I already processed.

The fear of being left.
The longing to be held.
The part of me that learned early not to need too much from anyone.

I didn’t fall apart.

But I did have to learn, slowly and through my body, how to stay with what was coming up.

The love and the loss.
The joy and the grief underneath it.
The mother I am and the child I once was.

Somatic healing has helped me create more space for all of it.

To feel without becoming overwhelmed.
To let grief move without rushing past it.
To receive joy without bracing for it to disappear.

This is what Lian and I are creating space for inside HOLD IT ALL—our virtual mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees.

An intimate space to slow down and make room for what you’ve been carrying.

No somatic or yoga experience is needed. Come with curiosity. Come exactly as you are.

Sunday, June 28
On Zoom · 80 minutes

Spaces are limited to keep the gathering personal and held.

You don’t have to hold it alone.

What has parenthood, or the thought of becoming a parent, stirred open in you?

What you actually need to hold all your feelings?

It’s not more willpower.

Many of us adoptees move between feeling completely overwhelmed and feeling far away from our emotions.

Both are nervous system responses.
Both make sense.

When your body doesn’t feel supported enough, it may flood you with emotion or shut the feeling down before you can fully reach it.

Your body learned to protect you.
It is still trying to care for you now.

Before you can hold the grief AND joy, your nervous system needs to experience feeling safe.
and being held.

That’s what Lian and I are creating inside HOLD IT ALL on June 28.

An 80-minute virtual somatic mini-retreat where you can slow down, listen inward, and be in community of fellow BIPOC adoptees who get it.

You don’t have to arrive feeling ready.
You don’t have to share more than feels right.

Come as you are. We would be so glad to hold this space with you.

👉🏽 a few spots left. Save your seat through the link in bio.

For a long time, joy didn’t feel save in my body.

It could arrive and still make me scan for what might go wrong.
Like some part of me was already preparing for it to disappear.

This is what Lian and I would love to explore with you inside HOLD IT ALL, our virtual somatic mini-retreat for BIPOC adoptees on June 28, at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 20h CEST.

A space to feel joy without forcing it.
To honor grief without drowning in it.
To be with other adoptees who understand the complexity.

Limited spots to keep the space intimate.
