This is your sign to do it your way today 🫶🏽

This is the first emotional freedom song that has come through after landing back in Costa Rica for the next 3 months 🥹

I’ve been reflecting on the moments in my life when I handed the script over to culture, media, external validation, fear, lack, and the opinions of others.

Today, under this Sagittarius Full Moon (and with my little Sagittarius by my side), I’m celebrating the power I’ve met and continue to meet to pave my own path. On a literal breath by breath basis.

I’m soooo grateful for my moment to moment awareness of my breath because it is the strength and softness and sustainability behind my spontaneity and my structure.

I’m not saying to reject guidance or the wisdom of the environments around us. It’s about building a strong enough relationship with our own inner world that we can receive all of it without losing ourselves in the process. I can make decsions that are for me and trust that regardless the outcome, the process is part of the medicine.

It’s the biggest gift that I can share not only my perspective, but my embodiment too, with my daughter.🤍

A few days ago, we left one of my daughter’s favorite stores (Barnes & noble) & she had a complete meltdown because she didn’t want to leave. She worked herself up into a frenzied state & it reminded me when I used to do the same (at a much older age than her).

When we got home, we took a bath & this song came to me. Now we sing this song when we’re playing to plant this knowing in her awareness as she grows. It’s just a reminder that our emotions will stay in motion & process through when we focus on our breath going in & out of our body as they come through.

Even as an adult, it’s helpful to remember we can befriend our emotions as messengers instead of threats. That we’re safe to feel a range of emotions when we stay connected to our breath🤍

This is what we practice inside Raise Liberated Littles. Link in bio.

A few nights ago, my daughter got upset because I told her it was time to wash her favorite pants. She’s worn them nonstop for a week & didn’t want to take them off. When I asked her to please take them off & get ready for her bath, she started screaming at me, working herself up to the point where she shouted “I don’t like you mommy!” and it reminded me when I used to do the same (at a much older age than her).

When conversations with people I cared about turned into a fire I couldn’t control making me say things I didn’t mean & hurting the feelings of myself & the other person. A time before I knew that I could connect to my breath and move my body instead of disrespectfully lashing out. It was all about defending, proving, burning, winning instead of connecting & getting to the root of the matter.

Later that evening as our family took a walk after dinner, this song came to us:
 “we can speak with respect, when we’re mad, take a breath, safe to cry and let out a sigh, pat the ground, spin your hands around, don’t be mean, just let off your steam and always remember, we’re on the same team.”

Now we have this song to sing when we’re playing to plant an awareness within her as she grows. It’s a reminder that emotions are energy and when we move, breathe, and express with respect, we don’t have to let them take us under.

Even as adults, it’s powerful to remember: we can still teach our bodies a new way to feel safe with intensity, and we can express rather than explode. 🤍

The foundations of this path live inside I LIBERATE. Link in bio.

We never make her meditate. She joins on her own now 🥹🤍

Owen and I decided to start this meditation together every day a couple months before our July 2026 retreat to connect deeper and prepare the energetic field for the retreat. We decided on 40 days, then 40 days came and we decided to keep it as a daily devotion together.

As our 4 year young daughter witnessed us prioritizing this every day, a few weeks in, she told me, “I want to do kirtan today with you and dad.” She sat down and completed the full 12 minutes and it was one of the most special moments of my life. When she joins on her own, it’s one of my favorite things to witness 🥹♡

Some days she sits with us. Some days she plays nearby. Some days she chants the whole thing. Some days she tunes into her third eye. Some days she comes in for a couple minutes. Some days she lays in my lap. Some days it puts her to sleep. Some days she says it’s hard to sit up.

The thing I am most grateful for is that she’s growing up in a field where turning inward is a normal aspect of every day life. A moment to pause, be with, and meet what’s inside you. She’ll have this as she grows and navigates her life. She’ll remember that turning inward is just as important as meeting the outer.

If you’re feeling called to bring more of these rhythms into your own life, relationship + home, DM me SOUL CARE and I’ll send you the ways to practice with us online through I LIBERATE or in person in Costa Rica 🤍

Creating an environment where my daughter witnesses my husband + I potentially disagreeing, but staying in open + honest communication, where we breathe + listen through emotions, where we do our best to use our words without being mean, without snapping or shutting down AND acknowledging when we do (because sometimes we do and that’s part of the process), returning to each other + coming back to being on the same team is part of the emotional intelligence equation.

The other facet is navigating communication with my 4-year-old daughter in a way that encourages a dynamic communication toolbox.

I want her to know she can tell someone she needs space if she needs time to process with me + the world. I want her to know that anger isn’t punished + sadness doesn’t need to be fixed immediately.

I want her to know that big feelings can move through, and that having them isn’t permission to hurt someone else physically or with our words. I want her to know that Mommy names how she feels + so can she.

I want her to know it because we’ve actively practiced this communication since she was born. disagreement doesn’t have to mean disconnection. ♡

These songs are one of the ways we keep this language alive through repetition in our home, not in the moments when emotions are already big, but in the everyday moments when the language can be received through play and a regulated state.

If you want this song + the rest of our Emotional Freedom Songs playing in your home + car, comment MANTRA + I’ll send you the $9 I LIBERATE Mantra Library. ♡

Before we invite more presence in, we honor where it already lives. 🫂

oooo venus in scorpio stationing retrograde this week is calling me back into this kind of sharing 🌹

Over the last 6 years together, starting our conversations with appreciation truly changes the quality of what comes next. Appreciation as a real bridge to then name truth in a way that doesn’t land as criticism… the vulnerability actually can then land as deepened connection.

Being present in long term relationships and marriages isn’t something we can just hope for. To me, it’s a living alter every single day that we can show up and meet.

We really prioritize invitation rather than accusation in our home. Appreciation first. Invitation second.

We invite you to experience this with someone you’re growing in truth with. We create the space for this connection by:

1. Eye gaze + sync breaths for 60 seconds
2. Share where you’ve felt the most presence in your partner lately and then share where you’re inviting them into deeper presence
3. End with an inhale in and a long hummm together

if you’d ever want to experience this kind of exploration in a conscious couple retreat, comment “COUPLES” or DM me 🌹

I just feel grateful. 🥹 The things I began questioning at around 26 regarding biological reclamation + how my home space could be a sanctuary, a living altar, a womb, a launch pad for my being, my visions, the super•natural… that choice to explore a path I had no outer directions for, yet knew the feeling inside to choose it anyway was enough.

Those decisions accumulated into the woman, energy+ life she is witnessing now. An embodiment that teaches without always needing to “teach” + nourishes an awareness to keep a healthy dose of questioning around the things we choose to engage with every single day. What we repeat matters! 🌹

Reclaiming our biology doesn’t require fearing everythingggggg around us. It begins with inviting consciousness into the inputs we interact with again + again + choosing differently where we can.

I’m not interested in creating fear around our homes. I’m interested in expanding awareness inside of them + remembering we have agency in what we normalize for ourselves + our families. 💗

This is what I’ve now mapped room by room, making the invisible repeated inputs of our homes more visible, so we can choose what stays + what changes.

Want the shower filter I chose for my own family? I went deep on shower filters because I wanted third-party testing behind the claims.

Comment SHOWER + I’ll send you the exact filter I chose + the room-by-room pathway if you’re ready to go deeper. ☼

I was first introduced to a daily sadhana in 2018. To me, sadhana is a daily devotion to meeting the source within your own awareness + body. Normalizing soul care before meeting external demands. My love for this rhythm goes on and on and on. *Badu voice 🥹❤️🌹 and now I get to share it with my baby!!!

My sadhana is always evolving and sometimes 3 minutes. Even a few minutes each rising to meet your breath, inhabit your body, feel the earth and claim the inner signal shifts the orbit of life toward remembrance & reclamation of what is already yours. And what flows in on the frequency, I’m in awe of every day 🤍

If you’re feeling called to reclaim vital rhythms in your own life, DM me “SOUL CARE” and I’ll send you the ways to join us through I LIBERATE or our in-person immersions in Costa Rica 🤍

For the little ones growing up inside these rhythms: @wisewildkids coming soon to Instagram + YouTube ♡

For a long time, I felt like I was in race. I believed there was somewhere else I needed to get before this moment could fully count. A missing of connecting to my momentum in this moment in hopes of racing toward a future one.

When I found my breath, I began to realize every future version of my life was being built through the body I was inhabiting now.

A sustainable future arrives in + through the body, not solely through forcing a projection of the mind into form. When my mind would get too far ahead of where my body was ready to go, the disembodied urgency kept tripping me back into the same loops that my body actually resonated with.

Some re-memberings that allowed me access myself deeper:

I can access the feeling before the external evidence. I can feel successful before a number says I am. I can feel abundant before I have everything I want. I can feel fulfilled before I cross the finish line. I can feel deeply alive with no to do list.
I can celebrate a path that looks like no one else’s every day.
I’m a spirit from the stars walking on land.

It’s frequency of reverence for what is here now and a refusal to deny who I am in the present in order to earn who I’m journeying to be.

This is an invitation to exit the race. To me, that’s not giving up on where you’re going. It’s reclaiming your energy through awareness of breath in body and remembering you matter as much in this moment as any other.

If you feel the pull to gather in this kind of remembrance together, our next @weareancientnature retreat is this December in Costa Rica. Comment ANCIENT or send me a DM. ☼

this is a daily devotion that mil and I have been meeting together for the last few months. Free movement has been one of the most profound keys of embodiment in my own life and i’m so grateful i get to share it with my daughter at age 4 🥹🙏🏽

for me, it’s a space to meet what we’re actually feeling that day + notice how the alive pulse wants to move through. not trying to look good, while sometimes we might. But genuinely exploring what it feels like to inhabit my body on a day to day basis.

letting it be weird. disjointed. emotional. powerful. soft. awkward. expansive. fluid. “unattractive” to a certain lens of conditioning. Which ironically embodies deeper authentic attraction.

tapping into the pulse of aliveness instead of moving from what’s been normalized as a standard or acceptable or good. and i think spontaneity springs from this kind of daily devotion. meeting the channel again and again so we remember we are free to move in new ways, express in new ways. Inhabiting ourselves beyond the automatic rhythms we’ve settled into. This ripples embodied freedom into our daily lives.

free movement is one of the core practices woven into our costa rica retreats 🌺 DM me “ALIVE” if you feel called to the december immersion.

One of our all time favorite albums to free movement to is Hollow Bone by @aylanereo 🙏🏽

Virgo season knocking 🌺 and with it, a deeper devotion to the way I shine my light into the world and anchor it into Earth. 🌞 I’m still steepinggggggggg in the potency of our last retreat. From it, the birth of WE ARE ANCIENT NATURE ( @weareancientnature ) feels like the natural name for a return I have been living into for nearly a decade. 🪷

When I hit rock bottom in LA in 2017, the truth spoke.. “if you continue this way, your time is very limited on this planet.” I sobbed and felt my being shift into the first prayerful state it had ever been in ever since I claimed being an atheist my freshman year of college in rebellion to what I experienced growing up.

I surrendered my conflicting desires at the time and asked for the truth. It sent me directly to my breath. My breath became the first rhythm I learned to consciously participate in rather than leave on automatic. And from there, I began noticing the other essentials rhythms of being an alive human.

WE ARE ANCIENT NATURE is the home of our ongoing retreats here in Costa Rica, and of the collective of humans within the I LIBERATE Wolf Pack choosing a devotion to the moment-to-moment awareness from which everything is born and into which everything returns.

Follow @weareancientnature if this way of living speaks to you 🙏🏽🧬♾️

Our December Costa Rica retreat is now open. DM me “RETREAT” and I’ll send you the details. 🤍 taken in Earth by @carmelabeing
