i keep thinking about how growth isn’t actually about the future at all, like we treat it as this forward moving thing but really it’s about going back, it’s about finding the stories you’re still subconsciously carrying and asking why you learned to abandon yourself in the first place

and here’s the thing i’ve realized about codependency specifically, you cannot trust that good things will happen for you while you’re still operating from the same nervous system that created the problem, you’ll sabotage it or shrink it or not even let yourself see it when it shows up because the version of you that’s still running the old story doesn’t know how to receive it

so healing isn’t hustling toward some new future self, it’s going back into the inner child who learned that love was scarce and giving her what she actually needed

i made an inner child meditation for exactly this because i needed something that didn’t just tell me to “heal my inner child” but actually walked me there, and safe enough to feel the stuff you’ve been avoiding

and the goal isn’t to relive the pain it’s to finally let that part of you be discovered, to feel what it’s like to love again

on the other side of it you start trusting timing again, you stop white knuckling outcomes because you’re not scared they’ll disappear the second you look away, that’s what regulation actually feels like, it’s quiet, it’s not forcing anything, it’s just finally being able to receive and that comes with breaking down the systems that prevent your from reviving all the things you ask the universe to provide you🤍

When you’re not worried because putting out fires is literally in your job description lol 🔥 💃🏻 🤩

i’ve never shown this side before, it’s always been tips and frameworks and here’s how to heal from codependency, and today it’s just me out with my girls not overthinking how i should be or what I’m going look like, and honestly that’s the whole point of this work, it’s not supposed to make you more careful forever, it’s supposed to let you put the analysis down, allow yourself to be seen without performance attached, and just get to have fun again 🤩🤍

i was so used to a hard life, not a good one, that my nervous system started treating positive things like a threat. i’d freeze, i’d fawn, i’d do something to disconnect from my body because watching other people live good lives from a distance felt like enough of an emotional gap that it felt like a movie instead of something that could actually happen to me too.

and what’s funny is good things are always happening, i just make them harder so i can’t receive. not from the people who love me, not from the universe, not even from myself when i’m trying to give myself what i need to grow.

it feels too hard sometimes because it comes with change and change feels like loss. but that loss is actually a good thing, it means something new is coming, i just have a hard time letting go.

and you can’t receive with full hands when they’re already full of fear. my hands grab because they don’t feel safe, but that grabbing was never what kept me safe. the pain of change just felt bigger than the pain of staying stuck, when really the reward is so much lighter than both of those combined 🤍

my own journey taught me what it was like to live in my own codependent horror movie without even realizing it until self-awareness cracked it open, and now that same awareness has become my biggest motivator instead of my biggest blindspot, so these days it’s less about being perfect and more about staying conscious enough to not slide back into old ways, it’s teaching me to fight for myself and choose myself daily instead of defaulting to everyone else first, because codependency will always have you living for something outside of yourself instead of your own life, and i’m done doing that, if you need help coming back to yourself i made a meditation for exactly that, link in bio 🤍

my codependency trained my nervous system to not trust anything outside of my control, when you live a life of unpredictability and doubt that your needs will get met you start controlling your outcomes at all times through hypervigilance through over functioning through over supplying your energy to everyone but yourself

and so when i notice i’m in need i notice myself already bracing, already assuming things won’t go in my favor, already anticipating i’ll be punished or that i’ll have to keep fighting just to feel comfortable

and i have to remind myself that my higher power is always trying to support me, always trying to watch me grow, always giving me something to help me become more not to remove something from me, not to neglect me, not to make me feel like i have to keep surviving even in the pockets that feel like growth, and to never confuse growth with survival

because the universe is unconditional, it is not punishing, it doesn’t have the conditions and morals we built through trauma through childhood attachments through the way we were taught to survive, it was never something i have to worry about not serving me ❤️❤️❤️

lol the amount of times i tell my clients to regulate and choose themselves and then don’t do it myself in the same day is actually insane. like i’ll pour into people all day and by the time it’s my turn my nervous system has nothing left to give me, so i just sit there spiraling about how i’m not gonna get anything done and nothing’s ever gonna happen. the audacity of me having a self-worth issue too lmao.

comment “ready” and i’ll send you the meditation i made for exactly this — the one that reminds me to slow down when i’m spiraling like this 🤍

You know that moment where numbing out feels easier than showing up for yourself? That’s not laziness. That’s your nervous system trying to protect you from doing the hard thing.

But if you don’t choose you inside the hard thing, nothing changes. Not your body, not your identity, not your life, not your relationships. CHOOSE YOUR HARD 🔥✌️

They take. They drain. They never receive. If they do, the love and connection is over.
