In today's episode, I'm sharing something that happened at a retreat I hosted recently — watching three women who know each other well slowly put down the performance they'd each been carrying, and discover that underneath their very different stories they were all longing for exactly the same thing. Intimacy. To be truly known. 

I opened the retreat with healing and grounding work and asked them: what did you bring with you that you didn't intend to? 

All three said some version of the same thing. A mask. A show. A version of themselves that wasn't quite true. 

Today's episode is about the exhaustion of the performance and the intimacy waiting on the other side of putting it down. 

Question to carry into your day:
What are you performing right now — and what might become possible if you let someone see what's actually true? Interested in joining one of my sacred retreats? 

Stay tuned — more information coming soon. And if you're ready to stop starting over around food and your body, visit https://link.allyone.io/widget/bookings/mc-discoverycall to book a free discovery call about the Stop Starting Over System.
