From the Sunday Self-Care Chronicles | 11/9/26
Hey sweet friend.
I usually write to you on Sundays but last night I kept circling this one, finding ways to procrastinate, because sending this scares me a little. But, I know it's going to be worth it, so here we go!
Recently, I quietly published a page on my website called "Are We a Fit?" Most "about" pages are about the person who made them. This one flips that around because it's mostly about you.
It starts with who you were before cancer: the solo traveler, the weekend baker, the gardener who walks the neighborhood loop each day and knows every dog by name. The capable woman who is used to handling her shit (and often everyone else's).
Then it names what cancer actually took. Not just the body stuff, but the taken-for-granted ease of living in a body that may not have been perfect, but wasn't on your traitor list either.
It calls out the ways you may have been coping ever since, because you're used to carrying the hard parts and there's never a good place to put them down.
And it ends with what I believe you really want: to enjoy the days you went through so much for, and to find your way around a body that changed without any operating instructions.
So here's why it scares me: describing you also means describing me.
In the way I share my own breast cancer experience (or don't) outside of work. What I believe about healing and a whole lot of other things in this world. What I'm no longer willing to water down out of fear of someone taking exception with who I am or what I'm here to do.
And when I stop feeling scared, I actually feel excited to share this with you. This page is about you deciding if you really see yourself here. Because in my experience, the women who get the biggest transformation from being in my world are the ones who see themselves somewhere in this story.
I keep asking myself why this page matters so much to me. And I think it's this:
I'm realizing that what sets my work apart from other people in my field is the desire to go deeper with you.
I don't want to be just another show-and-tell practitioner who only scratches the surface of what you need, but someone who truly helps you understand what your body has been through, how you can work with it, and how this helps you heal from the inside out.
So, maybe it makes sense that I want to go deeper on how we align as humans too. Because knowing if you want to work with me isn't just about your scars or swelling. It's about putting your trust in me and in yourself.
So my ask is simple:
Please read my “Are We A Fit” page, and decide for yourself.
If you see yourself staring back at you, hit reply and tell me which part was the mirror. I read every response myself, and it genuinely helps me write what's next.
And if you read it and realize we aren't as kindred as you thought, that doesn't mean you aren't welcome here and it doesn't mean I can't help you. What I do, teach, and share still works. It just means maybe you take what you need and leave the rest. That's a perfectly fine answer too.
Until next Sunday my friend, I'm always in this with you.
P.S. If you read the page and find yourself wondering where the deeper work actually lives, there's a program for that called As You Are Now. Click here and I'll make sure you hear all about it.
