I know that feeling emotions isn’t always easy—especially if you were never taught how to feel them safely. But the beautiful thing is, you don’t have to do it alone.
This month inside The Self Care Space, we’re diving into Feel to Heal: Embracing Every Emotion, a gentle invitation to explore what’s really going on inside, in a way that feels safe and supportive.
I grew up suppressing my voice, my emotions, and even my thoughts about life. I was taught how to think, how to feel, and what was “acceptable” to express. But what no one ever taught me was how to safely feel my emotions.
So instead of feeling them, I did what so many of us do—I pushed them down.
But no matter how far I ran, my emotions came with me.
Every time I tried to communicate with my family, I felt blocked in my body—like my words were stuck in my throat. That block turned into self-sabotage, and that self-sabotage made me feel even worse about myself. And when I didn’t feel good about myself, I attracted relationships that reflected that same self-worth.
It became a spiral of destruction.
I wish someone had told me back then that healing isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about feeling yourself.
If I had known how to create safety in my body to process my emotions, life would have been different. But now, after years of unlearning, I get to pass this work on to you.
Maybe you think you allow yourself to feel emotions. But I invite you to get curious—are there certain emotions you avoid?
We can only heal what we allow ourselves to feel. So this month, I encourage you to let emotions move through you.
We’re easing in gently—starting with shorter practices to create safety in feeling emotions before moving into deeper releases. Follow along, or go at your own pace. 💛
This week is all about grounding and regulating your nervous system so emotions feel safe to surface.
Now that we’ve created safety, this week we practice allowing emotions to be felt without judgment.
We move into long-form practices that tap into stored emotions—especially in the hips, where we hold unprocessed feelings.
This final week is about reflecting, integrating, and making space for lighter emotions like joy, ease, and peace.
✓ Go at your own pace – Choose what feels safe and supportive for you.
✓ Honour your capacity – Some days emotions may feel heavier than others. Pause if you need to.
✓ Stay in choice – Modify practices if needed. Your healing is yours to navigate.
✓ Ground before and after – Breathe, place a hand on your heart, or bring awareness to your body to create safety.
✓ You are not alone – If anything feels overwhelming, revisit grounding practices and reach out for support.
Trust your body’s wisdom—it knows how to heal at the pace that’s right for you.
