Something Incredible Happened This Week
Introducing the Care Immersion + the future of SOFT POWER
Something incredible happened this week.
As I pushed through enrolling the 2nd year of the Care Immersion (formerly known as the Embodied Caregivers Mentorship), I was hitting a wall. Honestly, I’m not really built for the stamina required for launch periods and marketing in general. It’s been my greatest challenge as a solo business owner the past 3 years.
I remember the relief when I had a Human Design reading with Elyse Preston and she confirmed that as a Projector, that’s just not how my energy works. But even awareness doesn’t remove the fact that sometimes I just have to push through and get stuff done to keep up with owning a business in this world. Well, this all changed this past week.
My dear friends & collaborators
& were witnessing me work through this challenging but necessary launch period and eventually approached me with something completely unexpected.They told me they really believe in my work. They told me my values are their values and that they want to be part of this, too. They asked if I would allow them to support me and be part of the Care Immersion.
I was speechless. I was scared. We’ve all collaborated before, and they’ve even been my clients in the past, but this felt different. It felt like a new level of trust and depth that tugged on my wounds of insecurity and scarcity.
What if I let us all down?
What if I don’t have money to pay them?
What if going deeper into business ruined our friendship?
It’s probably not coincidence that this was the same week I felt the stretch of receiving a massage from Ashley Dawn and timeline jump with Jasmine. Even knowing I’ll reciprocate this support for them at some point, receiving without immediately “giving” in return still felt foreign to me and raised questions of my worthiness to have these blessings pour down on me. Without their trust and generosity, I may not have been able to receive Midori and Kiki’s bold offer.
I was further blown away when they brought Flo and Willa Ace to the table (Zoom room lol) and the question of “are y’all down?” received a resounding yes: we are doing this together. I had spent the whole day in the ER with my mom (she is okay <3) and wondering how on earth I was going to close this enrollment period among all of life’s surprises. But there they were. My solid, grounded, supportive friends reassuring me we were on track 💫
Part of why this was so major for me is because the Care Immersion is incredibly personal, born from the stories of myself, my clients & my ancestors. It’s everything I know about facilitation, trauma-informed care, and self and community healing. Its the lessons I learned from the end of my marriage, a heartbreaking abortion, lifelong parent and sibling wounds, and unveiling of my shadows.
A few weeks ago I wrote about The Wounded Healer trope. As an 8H Cancer Chiron, rejection and insecurity from those closest to me has plagued my life. I’ve been betrayed more times than I could count and have grown to see my ability to embrace complexity and forgive as a gift, but the pain of that choice still cycles. This invitation to be supported and uplifted on a radical level sent my trust issues flaring.
But my intuition said this is the group of people you’ve been calling for. Trust them like they are trusting you ⭐
Last year I sat at my altar and my guides told me 8 people would join the first round of mentorship. 8 people signed up. In January they said welcome 3 more in; that happened, too.
This round, the number given to me was 17. I was confused and unsure I could authentically meet the needs of that many people. But I see now that the 5 of us were wrapping up the individual and relational work needed to embark on this leap of deep trust and faith: a bond that could only be nurtured from the past 2 years of watering genuine friendship and kapwa.
With this shift I am confident and proud to boast that this container’s roots are strong; held by chosen family that are devoted to authenticity, integrity, accountability, and care.
This isn’t a group course…
It’s an initiation into the frequency of SOFT POWER 🪐
A praxis of making change through our power of creation, connection & embodiment.
We are so ready to receive this next cohort 🤍
Our intention is to cultivate a foundational community for the future of collaborative spaces that support radical and magical self connection and world-building.
If you’re curious about this space, I encourage you to pause and center yourself and ask your inner voice if this community is what you need right now.
If the answer is yes, I hope to see you on an alignment call.
✨ All aligned applicants will be admitted as we are optimistic about financial aid funding (more on this to come!) ✨
Signing off with Soft Power,
