BECAUSE, OUR INNER WORLD IMPACTS OUR OUTER WORLD.
FROM
INSIDE HUSTLE,
I joined the ranks of adulthood and motherhood proudly running a tight ship. I signaled my love through saying yes, signing up, planning, worrying, fixing, advising and critiquing. I was so ripe and so susceptible to the convenience of disassociating into mindless consumption; shopping and sugar, scrolling and Sauvignon Blanc. I took the edge off, and it felt like the best way to extract those good brain chemicals that I had become so dependent on.
Until the need for connection became undeniable. Until the awareness came: My body is my ally. I rely my body's signals and they have been wildly suppressed. I want a way to live that feels sustainable and dare I say, pleasurable.
I faced my addiction patterns. I confronted fetishizing my control. I explored my reliance on escaping my body. I have tolerated being witnessed in struggle. I have fallen at the mercy of rage and untapped capabilities.
In doing so, I came up for air... a survival instinct. With this new slack, came the reckoning of Somatic Recovery. This process guarded me from falling overboard into overstimulation: “go, go go” and “more, more, more.” Nowadays, I check-in. And my body recovers my internal priorities so I can take actions to fulfill them.

SOMATIC RECOVERY IS AN ORGANIZING POWER DURING TENSION CYCLES.
We jump from one thing to another. The jumping has gotten faster. Women’s bodies are chronically affected. And unlike many in the wellness space who advise to “just do it differently,” the PIP method slows you down to recover from all the jumping. The process may feel boring or uncomfortable at first, because we’re still wired to go fast and crave taking the edge off. It’s ok.
BUT THEN. If you keep showing up, what follows is an organizing power. A shake of the body loosens tension. An observation magically checks off a task. Connecting with people feels easy. Sensitivity becomes a superpower rather than a burning at the stake. Vulnerability offers medicine to soothe habitual reaching outside of ourselves when triggers occur. Stop wanting to escape your life. Relearn and remember how to safely ride tension cycles.
When we are not controlled by threats of the endless consumption vortex, we hold energy. And inside this energy lives a natural organizing power derived from our body, defined by the ancient Greeks as,"that with which one works.” Somatic Recovery offers you the keys to establish where you want to get to and how you want to feel along the way there. And it's wildly efficient.
