It’s a cruelty of capitalism that when life gets hard and we need to slow down, it can cost us. Dearly. After all, there is still marketing to do. Potential clients to call out to. Spaces to share our work where the people who need us can see it.

In a challenging chapter, showing up gets harder. So our marketing plan must soften, simplify, whittle itself down to a kind of bare minimum we can achieve.

Is your marketing honoring your capacity and the season you’re in, as much as possible?

If not, I’m writing this from the couch, which I’m pretty sure means I’m qualified to help you with this.

Feel free to share how marketing is in this season for you. 🩵

Excuse me you mean to tell me that the same person (me) who did countless and paid-less emotional labor for my family of origin is now asking people to pay me money for services rendered?!?!?!?!?!??!

Excuse me you mean to tell me that the same person (me) who spent a lifetime not being too loud in order to be accepted by society is now in charge of marketing my healing business?!?!?!?!!?!

Excuse me you mean to tell me that I want more clients, I need more clients, but every time I sit down at my computer to put out the call for more clients, I freeze and end up doom or slime scrolling?!?!!?!?!?!

Excuse me you mean to tell me that the same person (me) who went to school to learn everything I could about healing and changes lives daily is silently struggling with marketing my healing business??!?!?!

Excuse me you mean to tell me that I picked healing so my introvert heart could do one on one work, one person at a time, and now I’m expected to talk to the masses?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Excuse me but doors are opening soon for Safe To Be Seen School. I invite you to watch this space. 🩵🪞✨

Can I be really real? Like, I’m not sure it’s allowed for me to be this real? (Gulp!)

The energy you are spending trying to be fine, or convincing yourself or others that you are fine? It has a cost.

I am so sorry. I know this might not sound like my usual softie self, but I invite you to stay with me.

When we have CPTSD, chronic illness and a neurocomplex nervous system, masking as fine can be a full time job.

I get why we do it. I will never shame us for doing it.

But it’s an energetic expense. And it’s energy we’re not spending on growing or healing in an authentic way.

The rub is that it is not (not not not) entirely up to us to unmask, or live an authentic life. The conditions outside of us need to support this!

This is deeply unfair and I know it in my bones.

This is also why I am inviting you, if these words have felt sting-y and resonant, to an SSP Group.

An SSP Group is a place where your protective patterns are deeply welcomed but my hope is they are not always needed.

Your neurocomplex nervous system will be nourished, here.

You can grow in the directions of what you long for, not just away from what is hurting you.

You can be seen for who you are, even after hearing that isn’t who you should be.

We begin in September, and the app closes today, 8/24.

If you feel a shimmer of possibility, send an app in and we can connect about life beyond fake-fine. And how an SSP Group can help you get there.

If you read between the lines better than the lines themselves and often think folks are mad at you (without a logical reason), I’m inviting you to an SSP Group. (And apps are closing today, 8/24!)

If your threat detection scanning system and hypervigilance are working overtime and keeping you up at night, I’m inviting you to an SSP Group.

If your trauma history doesn’t feel historic, it feels like it’s happening in the present moment and your protective responses are making your life small and telling your nervous system to chill out isn’t working, I’m inviting you to an SSP Group.

If you’ve talked through everything in talk therapy, and want to try somatic healing but feel like you’ll get it “wrong” or don’t want to go into your body because it feels ouchie in there, I’m inviting you to an SSP Group.

If safety doesn’t always feel safe, and the things that seem easy for everyone else are hard for you (and vice versa), I’m inviting you to an SSP Group.

If the first thing you do when you walk into a new space is clock the exits, I’m especially inviting you to an SSP Group.

The Fall Wednesday evening SSP Group has space for you!

This is the last group til 2027, and the app closes today! Link in bio to join us. 💗🎶

This one’s for the person who’s unsure about joining an SSP Group.

You’ve been thinking about it, maybe for a really long time. Curious, called, and unsure. Wiggly, spinny, and hesitating.

It’s not my job to convince you. It’s my job to give you what you need to decide. And sometimes you need more than another post to know which side of the fence you’re on.

So: if you’re unsure, connect with me! Applying isn’t saying “yes I’m 100% in.” Applying is saying “maybe”, and we’ll figure the rest out before groups begin.

Feeling curious, called and a little stuck? Apps close 8/24. Short application linked in my bio. 🤍

If you are a complex trauma survivor, what seems little to other people is actually so big.

😳Saying no
🐢Leaving the house
😵‍💫Falling asleep
🙊Correcting someone when they get your name wrong
💧Peeing when you need to p*e
⏱️Stopping when you need to rest

So what seems little in healing is actually big, too.

🥸Telling your practitioner they aren’t getting it
🌚Turning off the light because it’s hurting your eyes
⏯️Asking for a pause instead of pushing through
🦌Noticing a fawn response in the moment

The things on this list? They are not little. They are doable ways your nervous system is practicing:
🫶You having your own back.
🙂‍↕️Wanting what you actually want.
💖Asking for and getting what you need.

And one of the biggest healing gifts of an SSP Group is that you get to practice:

🫶Having your own back.
🙂‍↕️Wanting what you want.
💖Asking for and getting what you need.

This practice makes progress.

Do you need some support to practice making new moves to be a better friend to yourself?

I invite you to join a Fall SSP Group! ✨

The last 2 Groups of 2026 are enrolling now and the app closes 8/24.

An SSP Group changed my life and nervous system. What if it could change yours, too?

Fall Groups are enrolling and the app closes 8/24. Link in the usual spot to take the first step!

If you’re considering the SSP because you’re burnt out and low on executive function and hoping this group will help ... but you’re having trouble getting the app in because of said burnout, this is for you.

An SSP Group will not be just another thing on your list. That’s the feedback I get again and again.

I’ve tried to make the application process as gentle as possible, because often the folks who arrive at a group are really 🙃going through it🙃 and have limited capacity. So when I say come as you are, I really mean it!

The only two fall groups are enrolling right now and there are just three more days to get your application in. Hope to connect with you soon. 🫶

Just in case you’re wondering how crunchy I am on a scale of “meds are poison and avoid evil seed oils!!!” to “healing outside of western medicine is made up”… I’m somewhere in the middle.

Today I went to a psychiatrist appt wearing ear seeds. So there ya go.

I won’t be yucking what helps you in an SSP Group. Spots are open and apps close in 4 days! 🫶

We are on a bridge between worlds.

When you join me for a healing SSP Group, that shows up in the way I facilitate.

Here’s how.

🕸️We name the web we are in (systemic trauma, eco-grief, collective harm and collective healing). This is often part of check-ins.
You can say the quiet part out loud.

🌈We share and honor pronouns.
Because we meet people as they are, and because trans and q***r rights and identities are under attack.

🫶We hold healing as both possible and relative to right conditions.
No gaslighting or shoulding on ourselves. No shaming our coping game. Lots of compassion and hope.

😴We honor varying capacity.
Complex, sensitive and weary bodies and nervous systems are welcome here. Even a healing modality like the SSP can be a lot when we don’t go slowly.

‼️We appreciate survival responses.
I’m not here to get rid of your survival responses and safety seeking. I know it’s often needed in this world. But I can help you turn down the dial.

🙂‍↔️We don’t try to fix what isn’t broken.
Ahem: that’s you! We don’t point the finger at internalized problems that are actually outside issues. Or we lovingly catch ourselves when it happens.

You’re not just joining an SSP Group.

You’re joining an SSP Group with me. In 2026.

Come heal with us. 2 groups are ready for you! We begin in September and apps close August 24th.
