I was deep in the medicine when my friend who pass

I was deep in the medicine when my friend who passed over came through. What I felt, deep in my belly, was this festering that led to her death.

The body keeping score.

At the root of it was her inability to FORGIVE herself. There had been darkness in her childhood that led to darkness in adulthood.
that she couldn´t face fully.

She just couldn’t go there.

I sobbed for what felt like hours. Gut wrenching primal sobs. Sobs of pleading. Sobs of sadness. Why hadn’t she been able to get there...

And she’s not the only one. I’ve lost several people in my life to what I believe, at its very root, is childhood trauma. Sexual abuse of different kinds.

Those cases are common, where it manifests as dis-ease in the body.

I’m not saying all sickness is a manifestation of this. But what I see in many cases, things manifest to get your attention. Sometimes a wake up call, to be healed. To be resolved. And sometimes we’re not able to get there. Sometimes we dont get there fast enough and the toll on the body is too much.

What I’ve seen with clients who came in with pain or dis-ease in the throat (the chakra of truth, communication) is often it’s from screams that were never released.

The telling that didn’t happen. The suffocation and suppression.In regression, I notice again and again that whatever’s going on in the present for them IS felt in their body. Conti I n comments…

Most people would have stopped sharing long before

Most people would have stopped sharing long before this stage in his cancer journey. When it hurt to look at. When there was a wheelchair, weight loss, nothing left to soften.

But not my mate Toney!!

He shared the full spectrum of his painful journey, the smiling photos and the hard ones, because he cared more about raising awareness than he did about ego. He wanted people to know what cancer really does to a strong man. And what it never managed to take from him, his spirit!

Every single photo, the same thing is still there. The cheeky grin. Toney flirting with the camera, with life, right to the end.

Its been a few years now. I am still heartbroken he didn’t make it. Proud beyond words of what he let us see.

Big hugs to anyone else in the brutal beautiful bits.

As I shared yesterday my only wish was he had been able to also share the darker bits, his traumatic childhood he kept secret till the end. I am honored he told me in his last month of life, I believe it helped him release something. To be in peace. I wish it hadn´t been at the end. I trust it was his journey though.

I used success to camouflage my unworthiness. For

I used success to camouflage my unworthiness.

For years I measured my worth in what I could point to. The title, the achievement, the award, the thing that made people nod and say well done.

It was like a pat on the back for the little Kirsty who thought that she needed to do something to be someone.

When you bullied as a child and you feel worthless and unimportant that creates a pattern and a program where you do everything you possibly can to tell the world look look I’m important I matter I’m a somebody.

It looked like ambition from the outside. From the inside it was a little me trying to earn a place in the world she never felt she had.

But no amount of proof for evidence was ever enough. Every win just raised the bar for the next one, because the thing underneath it, the belief that I was not enough as I was, never got touched by any of it.

I am learning now. I am enough without any of the success and ambition and identity. I created around all of that, I’m learning that rest does not need to be earned. And worth was never up for negotiation in the first place.

Has this been part of your story too?

All my love. kx

For decades I sought it from the outside. Mentors, coaching certifications, one program after another, always looking for someone else to hand me the answers.

Then I had my awakening in Mexico, and everything shifted. I started learning from elders instead, from medicine women, from sisters, from ceremony. And somewhere in that, I found her. The medicine woman who had been in me the whole time.

She didn’t need to be taught. She needed to be trusted. By myself.

For years I believed everything had to be taught to me from the outside. Some older, wiser authority who had the answers I didn’t.

Then I had my awakening, and I realized I didn’t need another course to hear what was already coming through me. I just needed to trust it.

Where have you been waiting for permission from someone else?

In 1996 I wrote five words in a travel diary on a train somewhere in Italy. I always love too much too easily.

I was 21. I thought I was writing about a boy.

I found that page again this week, in the middle of archiving thirty years of my journals!! Amazing what I found. And looking back at the girl who wrote it. She had no idea she was describing the pattern she would spend the next two decades living, and then healing.

The pages knew before I did. They always do.

If you have old journals in a box somewhere, they are not clutter. They are a map of you, waiting to be read by the woman who can finally understand it.

All my love, k xo

Sometimes we need a little help to see things for

Sometimes we need a little help to see things for ourselves. Yesterday on a client called my client shared that when she had first jumped on one of the group calls that I was running at the time and we did a regression that she felt nothing. That she recognized that she was so numb and so shut down and feeling nothing terrified her. I’m happy to say that after 6 sessions she is in a completely different place and life is shifting rapidly as she reconnected to herself her truth and her power.

Often clients will tell me that they have been watching me for a while, sitting in the background a little nervous about whether or not they’re ready and how to get started.

If you’re curious about how my sessions work feel free to drop a ❤️ or DM me and let’s talk.

You can’t unknow what you now know.

There comes a moment when the truth lands.

Not in your mind.

In your body.

For me, once I began remembering, I couldn’t go back to the life I had built around not knowing.

I couldn’t keep abandoning myself to make other people comfortable.

I couldn’t pretend I was fine when I wasn’t.

Truth changes you.

It asks something of you.

Not because it’s easy.

Because once you’ve seen it, living against it becomes far more painful than living with it.

That has been my path.

And maybe it’s yours too?

What do you now know that you can´t unknow...would love to hear.
