The Conversation I Was Afraid to Have—Until Now
A rare, unfiltered exchange with Suzy Rowlands that went places I never planned to go.
open.substack.com
Finally did my first podcast. 🎙 Months of “not ready yet” turned out to be fear of being seen.
Said yes anyway—loved it. A warm, honest talk with Suzy Rowlands about healing, fear, and showing up anyway.

Gifting our parts time to share their voices through whatever means (speaking, writing, drawing, mapping objects) is essential in this process and can really change the energy from being blended with / overwhelmed by a part, to sitting with / supporting that part. Totally different experience.
