Hi friend,
One of the hardest parts of healing from past relationships, is learning to trust ourselves again. But I promise you, it’s possible.
It starts with listening to that quiet whisper when she speaks to you—the voice of your intuition, your body, your heart.
So often we find ourselves repeating patterns that hurt, not because they’re what we truly want, but because they feel safer than the unknown. And still, here you are—choosing to turn toward yourself, choosing compassion for your pain, choosing to remember that you were never broken.
Every choice, every detour, every moment you thought you lost yourself has brought you to this threshold. Layer by layer, you’re shedding old skins, reclaiming what was forgotten, and remembering who you truly are.
Love has always lived inside of you. It doesn’t need to be earned. It only asks to be received.
This is your invitation: no more choosing familiar pain over the unknown joy waiting for you. No more hiding, no more burying your essence under guilt or shame. You are waking up, and it is never too late.
Inside this week’s newsletter, you’ll find:
🧘🏻♀️ Embodiment Practice: Meeting the Threshold of Change

🌿 This Weeks Reflection
Remember that every path you've walked, every choice you've made has been necessary to bring you here. You are capable of healing and creating healthy love.
✨ Practice for the Week: Returning to Your Essence
Arrive in your body
Find a quiet place where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Close your eyes and take three slow breaths, feeling the rise and fall of your chest.Place your hands on your body
Rest one hand over your heart and the other over your belly. Notice the warmth and weight of your touch. Allow yourself to feel supported by your own presence.Soften into listening
Bring your awareness inward. Notice any sensations, emotions, or subtle movements within you. Stay present with what is here, without needing to change or fix it.Release old layers
With each exhale, imagine shedding a layer of old guilt, shame, or a familiar pattern that no longer serves you. Feel your body become a little lighter with each breath out.Invite love in
With each inhale, imagine drawing in love—the kind that doesn’t need to be earned. Let it fill your chest, your belly, and spread through your whole body.Close with remembrance
Silently affirm to yourself: I am not broken. I am love. I am right on time.
Journalling Prompts
Where in my life do I notice myself repeating familiar patterns, even when they bring me pain?
What feels unknown or unfamiliar that I long to step toward?
If I were to meet myself with compassion in this moment, what would that look like?
What old layers am I ready to release?
What does love, as something I don’t have to earn, feel like in my body?
How do I want to honor the truth that I am not broken, I am love, I am right on time?
As you move through this week, remember—healing is not about becoming someone new, it’s about returning to yourself. The parts of you that feel tender, uncertain, or afraid are not obstacles, they are invitations.
Be gentle with yourself. Stay close to your heart. Keep listening for the whisper within—it will never lead you astray.
You are not behind. You are right on time.
Love,
Shay
