The Message you Leave in This World


The Message You Leave in This World

Let’s be real, you’re gonna leave a message in this world whether you mean to or not.
Every post, every silence, every boundary, every word you say (or don’t); it’s all saying something about who you are and what you stand for.
The real question is - are you saying it on purpose?

The Chapters That Kept Repeating

 There were so many chapters in my life that I swore would change everything. New people. New jobs. New beginnings.
But every time, the story ended the same. Why? Because I was still playing a version of myself I thought I had to be instead of the woman I actually am.

It wasn’t until I chose to truly live as me unapologetically that the pattern finally broke. 
That’s when I found my message: Embodied Freedom. 

Freedom that starts in the body, not the mind. It’s that deep exhale when you stop performing and start living.

When the World Gets Loud

This past week, I hit a boiling point. 
I broke my own rule and went off on Facebook because the noise, the ignorance, the blind faith in talking points instead of truth just got to me.
I’m tired of the two sides of politics. Tired of people picking teams instead of picking compassion. Tired of a world that confuses opinions for facts.

And under all that anger was something much deeper: I just want everyone to feel safe. 
I want compassion and love for all no matter who you are or where you come from.

That’s what Embodied Freedom really is to me - living from love, not fear. 
It’s the energy of Jesus before religion got in the way: Love your neighbor. Feed the hungry. Lift up the poor.
Jesus was radical compassion. He was the embodiment of love in action.

What I Learned in the Reflection

 Here’s the truth, I didn’t handle it well. My intention was awareness, not politics.

But I let anger lead instead of love. And it took someone else’s honesty and my own reflection to see it.
Because what I want to elevate in this world isn’t division. It’s empathy.

If you haven’t seen it, go watch Brené Brown’s short video on empathy vs. sympathy.

Empathy is standing with someone in their story, not above them trying to fix it.
That’s the energy I want to live from.

Finding Your Message

So let me ask you this: What message are you leaving behind?

Every one of us carries something the world needs to feel through us, our pain, our power, our pleasure.
That’s our curriculum. That’s where our wisdom lives.

And your message doesn’t have to sound like anyone else’s. It’s shaped by the way you learn, create, and express.

That’s why I always consider learning styles in my work because how you process life is how you naturally teach it.
If you learn through feeling, your message will live in connection and emotion.
If you learn through thinking, it’s clarity and truth.
If you learn through creating, it’s beauty and expression.
Your learning style becomes your leadership style.
You don’t have to copy anyone, you just have to know how you move, how you express, and how you embody your truth.

Living the Message Every Day

 Your message isn’t just a quote on a wall, it’s a lifestyle.It’s how you treat people. How you hold yourself when no one’s watching.How you create, love, and lead.

It’s not found in perfection, it’s found in presence. In the way you breathe, pause, and choose to show up again and again.

Because when your message becomes your energy, people feel it without you saying a word.
You’re not here to fit the algorithm. You’re here to shift the energy.

My Message

Mine is Embodied Freedom.

Freedom to be human. To feel. To love. To live wide open. To show up with compassion and curiosity, even when it’s hard.

And when I help others find their message through body, creation, or coaching, it’s not about strategy. It’s about helping them come home to their truth.

Because when a woman remembers her power, the world heals a little more. 💜

Afraid to Talk About S*x? Why We Hide in the Bedroom.



 Let’s talk about something that still makes a lot of women squirm…
Sex.
Or more specifically, the silence, shame, and masks we wear in the bedroom.
This episode (and this post) is for the woman who’s ever thought:
“Maybe we’re just not compatible…”
But deep down, she knows that’s not the full truth.









Why I'm Finally Pulling the Covers Back

When I was 11, I discovered a gift.
Not the kind of gift a preteen wants.
I could talk about sex — and somehow, I just knew things.
I had no experience, but I could offer insight, comfort, and truth to people in a way they needed to hear.
But I learned quickly: this gift wasn’t “normal.”
I was made fun of. Teased. Silenced.
So I did what many of us do… I hid it.
But I’m done hiding.
And I want you to be done too.


The Masks We Wear in Bed

Here’s what I know:

We wear masks in bed all the time.

The Cool Girl. The Pleaser. The Performer.
  • The Cool Girl says yes to things she doesn’t actually want — just to feel accepted. To feel chosen. But that “yes” often leads to shame and disconnection.
  • The Pleaser believes if she just gives enough, she’ll be seen as valuable. But with takers, giving never leads to receiving. It just creates depletion.
  • The Performer fakes orgasms, sounds, responses — because it feels safer than showing her real self. She puts on a show but feels hollow inside.
And the root of all these masks?
Shame.

We are ashamed of our pleasure. Of being “too much.” Of not being enough. Of not being the right kind of sexual woman.

And that shame didn’t start in the bedroom. It started in childhood. In our families. In our churches. In our peer groups.

We were taught to be desired, but not to desire. We were told to be sexy, but not sexual.

Even small things, a joke a partner made, a look, a rejection, a silence, they all lodge in our nervous system.

They all reinforce that our pleasure isn’t welcome here.

 The Myth of “We’re Just Not Compatible”

Let’s be honest.
How many of you have been told:
“We’re just not sexually compatible.”

Or maybe… you’ve said it yourself.

But what’s really being said?
  • “I want you to fuck like I want to be fucked. I don’t care about your needs.”
  • “I don’t know what you like, and I’m too afraid to ask.”
  • “I don’t even know what I like.”
  • “I don’t know what an Erotic Blueprint is or why it even matters.”
We use “compatibility” to hide our fear of communication.
Our fear of being fully seen.

But behind that fear is the doorway to real intimacy.

Understanding the Erotic Blueprints Changed Everything

I’m certified in the Erotic Blueprints and had the privilege of learning directly from the creator, Jaiya (you might’ve seen her on Sex, Love, and Goop on Netflix — or read her book Your Blueprint Pleasure).
I didn’t know I was a Sexual/Sensual blend until I explored the Blueprints. And it shifted everything in my relationship.

My partner is a strong Sensual. Knowing this changed the way we make love.
Sometimes, my Sexual side wants intensity — visuals, nudity, penetration, primal connection. Other times, I want the Sensual tenderness — soft music, slow touch, emotional presence.

Because we talk. Because we’re curious. Because we honor our Blueprints, our sex life moves from “just physical” to transcendent.

What’s Your Blueprint?

You might be:
  • Energetic
  • Sensual
  • Sexual
  • Kinky
  • Shapeshifter
Most people are a blend, with a dominant one.

And here’s the thing: None of them are wrong. Each has a superpower. Each has a shadow, often shaped by trauma, shame, or cultural conditioning.

Knowing your Blueprint is like getting a map back to your body. A way to come home and invite your partner in.

Why We Hide

We hide because we were taught to. We hide because someone once mocked our sounds, our body, our desires. We hide because we’re afraid that our truth might be rejected.
But when we stay hidden, we’re the ones rejecting ourselves. 

You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to be “low maintenance.” You don’t have to dim yourself to be loved.

 The Conversations That Change Everything

Yes,  talking about sex is vulnerable AF. It’s raw. Messy. Exposing. But it’s also the doorway to intimacy.

And here’s the secret: When you share your vulnerability, you give your partner permission to share theirs. And that’s the gift of true connection.

Vulnerability held in sacred trust between two people who want to know each other.

Start with:
  • “Can I share something that’s been on my mind?”
  • “I’ve been curious about trying…”
  • “I love when you…”
That’s where intimacy begins. That’s where healing happens.
