Today I'm sharing something different: a real coaching call with my client, Staci Addison. Instead of jumping straight into marketing, we start where sustainable growth actually begins—helping your nervous system feel safe after grief, burnout, and a long, hard season. Most creatives don't get stuck because they lack strategy; they get stuck because fear, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and old money stories keep their bodies from feeling safe enough to take action. When we rebuild safety and self-trust, the execution part finally clicks.

On this call, I guide Staci to separate the "negative mind" from her true voice, create immediate safety in her body with simple somatic tools, and set loving boundaries (including with family) so her energy stops leaking and returns to her art and business. We also turn a nightly habit into a ritual of presence, upgrade the language she uses with herself, and practice micro-mothering—small daily acts that refill her capacity. Next week I'll share her full marketing plan, but this episode is the foundation that makes strategy work.

Takeaways:

It's not about fixing yourself; it's about building safety so action becomes possible.
Name and externalize the "negative pattern," then let your heart answer back (two-column journaling, two minutes).
Use simple somatics—Havening touch, a low "Voo" tone, orienting to the room, and a daily nature dose—to calm your system fast. Boundaries are love in action; they turn people-pleasing into choice and conserve energy for your business.
Transform escapes into rituals of presence (music, candle, intention): I am coming home to myself.
Upgrade your language: not "I'm not good enough," but "A negative pattern is saying ___; my truth is ___." Micro-mother yourself daily with one small act of care to rebuild self-trust.

If this resonates and you want private support, I'm finalizing 2025 coaching pricing and bundles through November 30, 2025. Book a free Clarity Call via this link. There is a softer way back—and I'll meet you there.
