The Power of Vulnerability

Experience the power and healing of divine sisterhood and practice the art of vulnerability.

Dear Soul Sisters,

To have someone truly listen to you, hold space for you as you express your feelings and emotions, and witness you as you authentically share, is one of the most powerful healing experiences and greatest gifts that we can give one another.

My Heart to Heart offerings are my gift to you to hold you in love and compassion, so you can feel seen and heard on a deep soul level. The core of my work is based on the foundations of empathic listening and heart open communication - two important aspects of the art of vulnerability.

Vulnerability truly is the key to authentic connection and growth!  Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is let go, soften and allow yourself to be seen and held by an empathetic witness - this is when true healing occurs.

“Sharing our story with a compassionate witness has the power to heal.”

What is Vulnerability In Relationships

Vulnerability is opening ourselves up to another person.  It is expressing what we are feeling and experiencing.  Vulnerability is allowing someone to see that you need and want them in your life and that you trust them.

“Vulnerability is a Love language.  It says:

Tell me more. Tell me everything.

Not what I want to hear. What your soul needs to reveal.

Don’t worry. I’ll stay. I am here. I am not going anywhere.”

- Adrian Michael Green

Why is Vulnerability Important

When we allow ourselves to be vulnerable with others, we open the door to genuine and meaningful connections. This vulnerability builds trust and deepens relationships, which will allow you to form authentic connections based on acceptance and understanding.

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity.”

- Daring Greatly by Dr. Brené Brown

Vulnerability is a skill and just like any skill, it takes practice in a safe environment to learn, feel comfortable with and gain confidence in.

Many of us haven't experienced true safety in 1:1 intimate connections - it takes the nervous system time to learn this, adjust and start to feel secure with opening ourselves up to trusted loved ones.

The great news is it’s never too late to learn, and eventually master, a new skill. Practice makes PROGRESS.

“And eventually you realize that real love comes down to feeling safe enough to be vulnerable.”

- Jonathon Muncy Storm

Vulnerability, Love, and Belonging

“Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor whose work on vulnerability, shame, and empathy has inspired millions of people to embrace imperfection, to hope and love wholeheartedly.

Her words are especially powerful for those of us who never felt comfortable in our own skin, who feel as if we have to ‘hustle’ for love or worthiness. 

If you’ve ever felt this way — felt as if you’re never quite enough — read her words and be reminded that we’re all in this together.” - Hope + Wellness Blog

Always Remember: “You’re beautiful in your vulnerability. You’re worthy. You belong.”

My Favorite Vulnerability Quotes by Brené Brown:

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.”

“Recognizing and leaning into the discomfort of vulnerability teaches us how to live with joy, gratitude and grace.”

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”

Open, Soften & RECEIVE

“The presence of an empathetic witness has the power to heal.”

If you are looking for a safe space to practice the art of vulnerability, I would love to support you!

It’s an honor and joy for me to create nurturing containers for healing and growth, infused with the power & magic of vulnerability.

My intention for all of my offerings is to provide you with unconditional love, to be a true Soul Sister and support you in whatever you may need, so you can feel lighter and shine brighter!

When one rises, we all rise!

Rise Sister, Rise!

When you feel the call to deepen your healing journey and step fully into your most powerful, radiant, and magnetic self, I’m here for YOU, my love!

With Care,

K 💗

Amor Fati

A common theme I notice when reading inspiring books or listening to podcasts on people who have overcome adversity is: acceptance of what is.

A beautiful example of this is the Stoic concept “Amor Fati”, which roughly translates as “love of fate” or “love of one’s fate”.

Amor Fati is the practice of accepting and embracing everything that has happened, is happening and will happen and making the best out of it.

“My formula for greatness in a human being is amor fati: that one wants nothing to be different, not forward, not backward, not in all eternity. Not merely bear what is necessary, still less conceal it… but love it.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

This mindset allows us to treat each and every moment—no matter how challenging—as something to embrace, not avoid. 

To not only be ok with what is, but to love it and become better for it.

Life is always changing and certain things are out of our control. But what we can control is our thoughts, actions and perceptions.

“You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you.”

- Viktor Frankl: Holocaust Survivor

The only thing you ever have any control of is your current thought and the actions that follow.

This is not about exerting more control over the world, but to take responsibility for how we view it and respond to it. Making a conscious decision to change our perceptions for the better.

When events have already happened we get no benefit from walking around with negativity. Negativity won’t change the past, however optimism can improve how we live right now.

“Stop wishing for something else to happen, for a different fate. That is to live a false life.”

“Accept the fact that all events occur for a reason, and that it is within your capacity to see this reason as positive.”

- Robert Greene

Instead of using our precious energy worrying about the future, agonizing about the past or resenting our present circumstances, we could use that energy as fuel to become the best version of ourselves and create our dream life.

“You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it.”

– Cheryl Strayed

Tips for Loving What Is:

Drop the resistance to how life is

Accept your current situation as it is

Understand that this is the way things are for now and trust everything is working out for your highest and greatest good

Use obstacles and adversity as fuel for your potential

Feel your feelings & be mindful of your thoughts

Practice gratitude daily

Be vigilant about bringing your attention to the present moment again and again

One of my favorite affirmations to read and repeat in hard times is:

“Everything that happens in my life is always in my favor, and I created it on some higher level of my own consciousness for the purpose of discovering my own magnificence.”

- Dr Sue Morter

Or if you want to keep it simple sweetheart, repeat:

“This too shall pass.”

If you are struggling right now or going through a difficult time, my heart goes out to you.  The fact that you are going through something challenging shows you are meant for greatness.

Keep moving forward.  I believe in you!

Amor Fati, my friend!

““If it happened, then it was meant to happen, and I am glad that it did when it did. I am meant to make the best of it.””

— Ryan Holiday

P.S. I was inspired to write this post after a dear friend reached out to me during a hard time. We both shared our current struggles (at first there were tears and then we ended with laughter). We felt so much lighter & uplifted after our conversation. Let this be a reminder, to reach out to someone whenever you need, it could make a world of difference for you both :)

“Connection is why we're here. It's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”

Unbecoming

It's interesting how when I was younger I was always trying to become something. Something different than what I authentically was. I tried so hard to be a well behaved child, the ideal friend, the top student, and overall a very accommodating person in every way.

Then when I got older I tried to be the most productive employee, a compliant patient, the best partner to whoever I was dating, an acceptable and agreeable member of society and whatever other box I was trying to fit into. Essentially I was a major people-pleaser.

Eventually I tried so hard to become something else that I ended up forgetting who I truly was at my core.

I became lost, disoriented, disassociated and completely out of touch with my authentic self and my true desires.  I didn't recognize my innate gifts as talents to be brought out into the world, but rather I hid my gifts so I could blend in and not stand out.  Do you resonate with this?

We forget that we are perfect just as we are.  When we came onto this planet, we had everything we needed to succeed.  We were absolutely perfect and we didn’t care what other people thought.  

Think about it, does a baby care that they have food smeared all over their face?  Are they worrying that they might look ridiculous with no hair and no teeth?  No, they just smile and laugh and authentically beam out joy and radiance.  Babies naturally light up a room no matter what they look like and people LOVE IT!

But over time that changes and we lose that innate confidence we are born with.  Whether it's a comment someone makes about how we look, how we act, how we talk or how we dress, so we start to change. 

We change to adapt, to fit in, to please others or even to survive.  Eventually as we get older we start morphing into someone else entirely, we bury that sweet innocent authentic baby deep inside and live a life based on the hopes and dreams that are not even ours.

I was at this stage a few years ago.  I was working a job I was not excited about, I was dating men who were fun, but did not recognize my authenticity and did not encourage me to bring out my innate gifts, I dimmed my light around certain people so they would accept me as they wanted me to be and although I didn't know it at the time my heart was closed off and I didn't fully let others in. 

Essentially, I was exhausted and burned out trying to be “perfect” in every aspect of my life, so I could fit the standards of others and society as a whole.

It took some very painful years to allow the layers of protection to fall away.  I was forced to go deep, down to the depths of my soul.  I felt everything I had pushed away all those years.  I felt all the disappointment, the sadness, the despair, the shame, the grief, the suffering, the fear, the abandonment and whatever else wanted to come up.

I felt it, so I could fee it.

“Before I could release the weight of my sadness and pain, i first had to honor its existence.”

— Young Pueblo

Every time I took off a layer, it was painful.  Everything I had thought about myself, the ENTIRE life I had built, crumbled away.

I quit my job, I ended my romantic relationship, I let go of friendships that no longer served me, I freed myself from societal pressure, I released the high standards of perfectionism that I was previously holding myself too and I surrendered into the unknown.

I was left with just myself.  My pure, whole entire self. My bare naked vulnerable soul, out in the open for all to see, no mask on and no walls up. And I realized……I had everything I needed all along.

I was perfect just as I was.  

I always had been and I always will be.

I made the decision that no matter what I was going to be myself, I was going to be the genuine being that I am and shine my light in all situations.  I decided to fully offer what I came to offer and I was not going to restrict myself in any way, shape or form any longer. 

Ultimately, I chose to take on my empowered state, so I could shape my reality the way I wanted it.  I fully committed to myself and no one else.

I also acknowledged, thanked, loved, and honored all past versions of myself because without them I would not be the woman I today or be where I am now.

 “One day, just like that…

 she rediscovered her light

she embraced her inner warrior

she grabbed her power back

she remembered who she was

 …and the whole game changed.”

Life is not about becoming something grand or great, because underneath everything we already are all those things and so much more. 

Life is simply about unbecoming everything we think we need to be, so our true authenticity can can shine through once again and we can be who we were always meant to be.

“Perhaps the journey of becoming your higher self is not about becoming anything, but about unbecoming all the things you were told to be in the first place”

— Jenna Zoe

I write this vulnerable post, in the hopes that you start to embark on this journey of unbecoming and re-self discovery. Not everyones journey is going to be as deep and intense as mine. In fact, I believe we are moving into a new time where more and more people are joyfully waking up and remembering.

“Don’t deny your fire, my dear, just be who you are and burn.”

— Mark Anthony

Once you do take off the layers and you start loving and recognizing your true self, owning your gifts and bringing them out into the world for all to see, then life is truly magical on the other side. You will look back on everything you had gone through and know that it was all worth it.

“Silly girl, your different was your beautiful all along.”

— Atticus

Remember, everything we need is within and where you are right now is exactly where you need to be. I send you love and blessings and a peaceful journey to remembering who you truly are.

You are worthy, beautiful and perfect at your core. You always have been and you always will be.

“I was once afraid of people saying, ‘Who does she think she is’ Now I stand up and say, ‘This is who I am.’”

Change is inevitable. Growth is Optional.

Right now, is a major time of change, both on the collective and personal level.  Are you feeling it, I sure am! Its a time to let go of what no longer serves us and open up space for new opportunities to emerge. 

I have been reflecting on what I want to let go of, and although there are a few things on my list, one of the main ones is letting go of struggle and stepping into surrender and flow.  So what exactly is struggle?

Struggle, is something you are resisting in your life or something you are resisting inside of yourself.  So essentially, if you are struggling with something then you are actually resisting yourself. 

When I was in the depths of my struggles, I finally had a moment where I paused and reflected on what I was resisting.  Shockingly to me, I was resisting my own greatness, my power, my beauty, my innate gifts and talents and ultimately SUCCESS. 

When I dug deeper, I realized I had the subconscious belief that if I became my most powerful, beautiful and magnetic self then people would abandon me (this is a pattern that continually showed up with relationships in my childhood). 

Once I brought those subconscious beliefs to the surfaces and processed them (which I still work on when I am triggered), I was able to start to let them go.

Once we truly let go, the struggle is released and life begins to flow.

So, the big question is: How to let go?  Letting go is something that is mentioned A LOT.  It sounds so easy, but its something that I have contemplated and attempted to work on for years.  I feel as though, the older (and wiser) I get the easier it is for me to release control, fully let go, and surrender to what is. 

Here are my tips on how to let go:

1. Accept where you are in the moment.

   In order to accept where you are in the moment, you need to release any judgment or shame of where you are in the moment.

2. Have full trust that you are exactly where you need to be. 

   Know in your soul that the moment you are in, no matter how uncomfortable, is happening for a reason and is shaping you into the person you are meant to be. 

3. Fully feel what you are feeling. 

   Don’t distract yourself or minimize your emotions.  Own what you are feeling, while trusting that this is happening FOR you.

4. Accept, love and trust “what is”.

   This does not mean becoming passive and giving up, it means having full trust that what is happening is happening FOR you, not against you.  This is not easy at first, that is for sure, but it is the only way through to the other side.

5. When you feel like you have let go, go deeper and surrender even more.

   “Don’t go into fixing mode. Trust the process and feel into what the situation really demands. Usually, it calls us to look at what we don’t want to see. However, this is where our evolution and transformation lie. Most of the time, it demands surrender, which also does not mean inaction, but rather a quality of action that arises out of trusting the moment over fighting the moment.” - Alex Cousins.

I find it easer to let go when I trust that where I am is exactly where I need to be.  I don’t know the reason when I am in the moment, but whenever I look back on the past I can clearly see why I was meant to go through a certain situation or have the encounters and experiences I did then.

When life gets uncomfortable for me, I like to think of the archetype of the alchemist.  Alchemists are legendary for turning lead into gold.  The definition of alchemy is, “the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary”. If your struggling right now, this seemingly ordinary moment is molding you and transforming you, so something truly extraordinary can emerge.

“The things that break you open to your suffering is where your gold lies.” - Alex Cousins

I also like to think of the Phoenix rising from the ashes or the caterpillar turning into the butterfly.  Both of those transformations are uncomfortable, but look at the beauty and strength that comes from going through such a drastic transformation. 

So, next time you are in the metaphorical fire, let go of any shame and judgment of where you are.  Just state it as a fact and release it.  Then trust, that something – a higher power, the universe, your higher self (whatever resonates with you) - is orchestrating this moment perfectly for you’re highest and greatest good. 

 “Your medicine, is in the moment.” - Alex Cousins

I also like to reflect on ways in which my struggles or a difficult situation might be assisting me. I ask myself: what can I learn from this situation, what is it hear to teach me, how is this assisting me in my growth/evolution, what is it trying to show me to let go of, what am I still holding onto that does not serve me and how can I go deeper?

When I start to see things as a blessing, rather than an obstruction, its helps me to see the situation differently and more clearly. One of my favorite quotes is by Dr. Wayne Dyer, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”.

A mantra I find helpful in uncertain times is, “I trust the change unfolding in my life”. 

Life is always changing.

Loosen your grip and relax into it. 

Only open hands can receive. 

Your challenges are your initiation. Lean IN, not out. Wake up and out of the fantasies and just be with what is. Love whatever arises, it is beckoning you to go deeper. To awaken, to become your most authentic highest self and to live an amazing abundant life – that you were born worthy of. 

Sometimes we have to let go in order for something new and greater to come into our lives.  Trust the change unfolding in your life. Although the outcome may be unpredictable right now, when you settle in and open up to new possibilities a wondrous world begins to emerge.

And always remember to be kind to yourself during this process and have compassion for yourself and this journey you are on.

Open your hands and your heart and make space to receive. Abundance, joy, pleasure, and love are waiting for you on the other side of true surrender.

Enjoy the ride Beauties,

K

Nature Loves Courage

“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”

-Terence Mckenna

Hello precious soul,

How beautiful is that Terence Mckenna Quote. What a great reminder to never give up on your dreams.  Follow your heart, trust your intuition, do what lights you up, stay true to yourself and you will be synchronistically lead the way. My mantra is Trust, Surrender, Repeat (and repeat, repeat, repeat…..lol).

Its none of our business to know how something is going to happen. But rather, hold the vision, keep the faith, have full trust, surrender to the unknown and let go into flow. Its easier said than done (especially during difficult times). But remember, if your having a hard day, thats ok, just come back to HOLDING THE VISION (or as Jas the Moon Mother says, “Hold the pose”).

You are worthy, you are enough and you deserve an amazing pleasure filled joyous life.

Set the bar high & own it. It’s okay if people fall away, your life changes or you have moments where it feels really hard. The moment you own your own standards is when you will be able to see that they are reachable.

-Kenzie Burke

Don’t doubt the call! You already have everything you need inside you. Dream big beauties!

Lots of love,

“Through darkness comes light, through fear comes love, and through pain comes triumph. This is the triumph of the Human Spirit; it is not in a select few, it is in all of us” Lilly Atlas

Below are a few of my fav quotes to turn to in hard times. And if you really need a boost check out this incredibly inspiring TED Talk.

Moving Through Pain

If someone told me a year ago that feeling pain is a good thing, I would have thought they were crazy.  Until a year ago, I spent most of my life unconsciously avoiding pain.  It wasn’t until recently that I learned pain is where the magic happens.  In order to grow, change and become the wonderful people we are meant to be we need to go through pain.  But we are not taught this.  In fact, society teaches us the exact opposite to be true.  Consumerism is based on pain avoidance, selling us products that will make us “happy” and keeping us small. 

We are unconsciously looking for the next thing to numb our pain: these things are called “easy buttons”.  Easy buttons are what we push to get us out of our body and into obsessive thoughts or numbing out to avoid our feelings.  Easy buttons can be food, alcohol, sex, social media, TV, and over exercising.  I hid my easy buttons so well that I didn’t even know I was numbing out because how can continually reading self-help books, constantly listening to podcast, over exercising and obsessively eating healthy food not be good for me?  I am not saying watching TV, engaging in social media, reading and exercising are bad and we should not do them.  We just need to have awareness on why we are doing them.  Is it for enjoyment or avoidance of deeper feelings?   Easy buttons temporarily numb our pain and make us feel short-term relief, but it is not long lasting because when we numb we suppress our feelings and they are bound to resurface later because they have not been fully processed.

So why is pain a good thing?  There are valuable lesions to be learned from pain.  It helps us discover who we truly are and allows us to live life to the fullest; awake and open wide.  When we sit with the feelings of pain, we realize we can do anything, get through any situation and we become stronger with every challenging situation we move through. Look at inspiring people from history who have had difficult journeys, but they didn’t give up or hit their easy buttons: Martin Luther King Jr, Dr Wayne Dyer, Rosa parks, Maya Angelou, Gandhi, etc. All of these people experienced trauma and adversity in their childhood and throughout their lives, but they processed their painful feelings and let go in order to become the people they were meant to be.

“The bravest people I know are those who walked through the fire and come out the other side.  They are those who’ve overcome, not those who’ve had nothing to overcome”

-Glennon Doyle: Love Warrior

How do we feel painful feelings without hitting our easy buttons?  We take a moment to pause, feel all of our feelings fully and do not judge whatever comes up (loneliness, anger, resentment, jealously, sadness) just allow those feelings to be there.  Notice them, feel them, let them be as they are, don’t try to change them and then gently with acceptance let go.  Eventually you will feel relief once the feeling has been fully processed.  Then we realize, “I can do this! I survived!”.  It took me three long painful years to recognize and give up my easy buttons and to fully surrender and let go (and I still work on this daily).  Lying on my bedroom floor, feeling loneliness, heartbreak, despair, and anger was not easy, but now that I have done it I know I can survive it.  Just remember: life only gives you what you can handle. You can do this!

“Maybe instead of slamming the door on pain, I need to throw open the door wide and say, Come in.  Sit down with me.  And don’t leave until you’ve taught me what I need to know.”

-Glennon Doyle: Love Warrior

Life is not going to be 100% easy and pain free all the time.  And we wouldn’t want it to be because then we would never change, grow and learn.  It’s in the hard times that we realize who we are, what we are made of, how strong we are and what we are truly capable of.  Instead of wishing you a pain free “easy” life, I wish you the bravery and courage to go through the dark painful moments and come out on the other side stronger and more resilient than ever before.  Because you, my darling soul, are a warrior. The strength you need lies within.

So run towards the pain.  Run towards the fear.  Have courage and tell life to “BRING IT ON!!” The pain is what sets you free, you were born for this.

Quotes

“So even if the hot loneliness is there, and for 1.6 seconds we sit with that restlessness when yesterday we couldn't sit for even one, that’s the journey of the warrior.”

-Pema Chodron: When Things Fall Apart

“Pain is the universes way of demanding that you continue to learn.  The more pain you can tolerate, the more you can learn.  Once you look at life this way, you wont ask for pain to stop - because its really asking for your education to stop.”

-Phil Stutz & Barry Micheles: The Tools

Se·ren·i·ty

I have always thought Serenity was a beautiful word, but I didn’t fully fall in love with it until I read the definition.  The definition of Serenity is, “the state of being calm, peaceful and untroubled”.  When I read that I knew those were the exact qualities I wanted in my life and the qualities I wanted for everyone in my life (including my clients), which is why I named my business Serenity Wellness.

Serenity also reminds me of surrender.  When I was going through dark times with my health issues, I came across so much information on podcast and books about “surrendering in hard times”. And to be completely honest that angered me! How could I just surrender and not try to control things when my hair is falling out, I have psoriasis covering my face, I am bloated and uncomfortable in my body, my hormones are off, my period has gone missing, I have no energy and I’m a mess crying on the floor.  At that time, I thought surrender meant waving the white flag of defeat and totally giving up all hope that things could change, and I was not ready to do that.  But that is not what surrender means to me now. 

Surrendering is letting go with grace and ease.  Its giving up resistance and allowing yourself to learn what you need to learn in order to up level and move forward. It’s a complete trust that what you are going through has meaning and purpose and that the universe will provide and take care of you.  Surrender is also having patience and letting life unfold at the pace and time its suppose to.  In order to have patience, you need to have complete trust that what you want to manifest will come through at the right time and in turn that means letting go, surrendering.  In order to have serenity in our life, we need to completely surrender and trust. 

Just know that if you are going through a hard time in your life, things will get better.  I know, I have been there my friend.  There is hope for you and I am here to assist you.  My goal for my healing practice is to help get you into a state of serenity; to release anything that no longer serves you, to give you a sense of comfort and ease and to live the wonderful life you were meant to live.

I wish you all a life lived in a state of being calm, peaceful and untroubled.  Because when we live a life full of serenity we can weather any storm with grace and ease.

“One of the signs of acceptance is serenity. With acceptance, the struggle is over and life begins anew”

-Excerpt from the book Letting Go by David R. Hawkins
