What Happens When You Let Yourself Stop

The Season the Mountains Rewrote Me

Stepping into this first offering feels like opening the door to a place I’ve been living inside for years — a place shaped by mountain quiet, deep inner shifts, and the slow untangling of who I thought I had to be. This season of my life has asked me to listen differently, to honor the whispers I used to override, and to let the truth of my own becoming rise gently to the surface.

This post begins the story of that unfolding — the descent into stillness, the rediscovery of my inner compass, and the unexpected ways clarity arrives when you make room for your soul to speak. My hope is that as you read, something in you exhales… and something in you remembers.

This past year — or perhaps longer — I stepped away from social media because my life needed my full presence, not the performance of presence. See, I could have still shown up online but it wouldn’t have been genuine nor would it have been enjoyable. It would have been a mask, a pretending, a performance.

My soul pulled me into the quiet depths. Living in the mountains will do that to you. My partner and I moved to Breckenridge, CO and found a gorgeous home that had the most amazing views. As I began to sink into mountain life and being surrounded by trees, snow, quiet, solitude, I found that I was being called inward-to watch, to notice, to listen.

It was transformative… not loud transformation, but soft, sacred whispers. The kind that ask you to step back, breathe deeper, and tend to the parts of yourself you’ve neglected (which were many).

I was navigating major shifts, rebuilding foundations, choosing peace, and learning how to listen to my inner wisdom again. I didn’t have the capacity to narrate those shifts in real time — nor did I want to. The inner shifts and whispers weren’t ones that I could narrate or give words to in the moment. There were grand ideas that I had in my business and life previously but I decided to put those on the back burner. It was time to simply be, to not push or pull. Living in liminal space is a challenge and it is where, I have found, the most growth to happen.

The desert mothers and fathers knew of this space. They went into the wilderness to be transformed and return with grounded clarity. (More on the desert mothers and fathers to come.) Jesus consistently chose presence and quiet soul-retreats. Those moments for Jesus allowed him to show up fully as himself, fully divine and fully human, to be and to do what he was called to. I think it is more than wise for us to do the same-to listen to our soul compass, those sacred whispers, to be honest with ourselves and to make more intentional and aligned choices.

During this season, there was unraveling… remembering… and letting go — a shedding of old skin so I could grow into more of who I’m meant to be and become. And, the shedding is continuing. However,…

I listened.
I rested.
I healed.
I followed the whisper of my soul’s compass, even when the path felt foreign, different, uncharted.

I didn’t disappear.
I was rebuilding.
Re-grounding.
Re-membering.

Life invited me inward — into healing, clarity, and a deeper alignment with who I am becoming. This past year taught me the beauty of slowness, boundaries, and deep reconnection with my body and spirit. It brought me home to myself in ways I didn’t expect. And I chose to honor that call instead of forcing myself to show up before I was ready.

Here’s the thing…I still don’t “feel” ready, but what I want and desire for my life requires me to begin showing up again in presence, in community, and in sharing what I am passionate about.

And now… I’m returning in a different way.
Returning to create meaning.

If you’re here, thank you for still being here.
I can’t wait to share what has grown in the quiet.

I’m excited for this next chapter — one rooted in clarity, intuition, and the kind of creativity that feels like playful, joyful fire. I’m emerging with a steadier heart, a clearer voice, and a renewed devotion to the work that lights me up: guiding others back home to themselves.

If you’re navigating your own season of unraveling or re-grounding, I would love to walk with you.
This is the heart of my work — helping you reconnect with your intuition, your body, and your soul’s compass.
