breaking the cycle
of martyrdom & self-abandonment

A mentor of mine once said the hard truth out loud:

"I guarantee that if you're feeling abandoned, you're abandoning yourself."

 

It took me a while to see how much weight that truth was holding for me. 

I was struggling through a very hard time in my life and couldn't understand why no one was showing up for me. 

Where was the support, the village, the people that were supposed to be therefor me?

But I was isolating. Being strong. Still helping others. Pretending I was okay.
Because that's what I thought I was supposed to do. What I was always praised for.

But I was tired of being strong.

And I was heartbreakingly lonely.

 

Being strong, independent, putting others before ourselves, not needing help - that's a collective wound.

Our mothers and grandmothers carried the weight of martyrdom - because the world told them they had to. 

 

Now we talk about breaking cycles... but how? 

​

You know the patterns. You know what not to be doing, but you want a better understanding of how to show up differently and actually stop the pattern...

this masterclass is for you.

​

This pre-recorded 45-minute video includes a discussion and somatic practice. 

the sacrifice ends with you.

"The teachings really landed in my body - how my growth edges will naturally expand if I give them the space and time to do so, rather than forcing. I felt trust - like I could really let go. I realized that when I slow down, I can surrender to nature's divine timing, I can bear witness to where I am spilling all my energy, I can see what really matters and where my energy is actually needed. I will remember this forever."

"It felt so good just to be in my body - like I had forgotten she was even there."

 

 

 

"Emily led me on a journey within myself to see where I was out of balance and disconnected, and guided me back to my center where I could feel myself again"
