A Love Letter: to the Woman I Serve
To you, the recovering perfectionist & hyper-independent overachiever.
To you, the eldest daughter, the straight-A student, the therapy ace, the reforming burnout queen and bleeding heart martyr who feels like she’s at max capacity even as she still has so much more to give.
To you, the heart-led leader who has quietly carried so much, but hesitated to claim your voice, your visibility, your rightful place in the conversation—if for no other reason than your animal body is whispering Not Safe.
I see you.
I see the abundance of creative energy inside you — and the way it sometimes gets tangled in the noise of self-doubt, self-censorship, the relentless inner critic.
I see the dreams you hold so precious.
The visions you ache to bring into the world.
And the whispers that echo inside of yourself, even as you itch to take action: “Not now. Maybe later. It’s too big. I can barely keep everything together as it is.”
You yearn for the kind of bone-deep confidence in your decisions that you seem to see in your mentors, and the ability to stand steady even when the bold moves don’t pay off right away or in the ways that you’d hoped.
You want a simpler life — easy family dinners laced with laughter and brimming with love; long summer days at the beach, glorious and sandy; hours in the garden, little hands sticky with the juice of ripened fruits; spaciousness as the norm rather than an impossible ideal.
You want your work to feel like freedom: purpose-led, deeply aligned, creating outcomes that shock you in their depth and breadth such that it feels like you’re making magic and miracles happen (cos in this cynical overculture, you are), because this work is born from the very fabric of who you are—every skillset you’ve acquired, every niche realm of expertise you’ve gathered in the course of your less fulfilling work, every hardship, life lesson learned, and even every trauma you survived—it all works in perfect synergy. It’s all brought you here: to the work and the life that’s borne from all these seemingly disparate (but actually harmonic) contributing elements.
To your purpose. To your dharma.
This is what you ask for: To do good work and make good money and live a good life; not for flashy things, but for your family’s happiness and wellbeing, and for your community, and for the future.
In service to the world by being in service to your gifts.
You braid magic into everything, whether you see it that way or not — into your motherhood, into your service, into your leadership.
Whether you know it or not, you are a matriarch: the one others turn to for support, for guidance, for fairness, and for love in both small and profound ways. You are a grounding force, even when you feel stretched or anxious.
You know your privileges. You seek awareness of your blind spots. You welcome accountability, not to shrink, but to grow. You are actively decolonizing yourself and your life, and are active as an ally, even when you feel out of your depth. You know your worth and the exponential impact of your voice, even if only in theory as you strive to embody it in your every action.
You are a cycle breaker. You’ve carried the weight of your lineage, and you are putting down, now, what is not yours to hold. You are healing your body, you are healing your mind, you are healing your spirit, but more than that, you are healing your relationship to yourself and all others as the pathway to playing your role in birthing this breaking-open world anew. To be one of the bridges for this culture of trauma and unconsciousness to transition into a culture of wholeness, health, love, and freedom for all—not just all people, but all plants, animals, forests and oceans—all of the life that inhabits this miraculous mother planet, our home.
You know the cost of imbalance and injustice—you suffer its weight on your heart and mind and musculature—and still, you believe. Still, you trust.
And still, you commit to living fully into your true size at this critical moment in history—even as the implications for your doing so scare the sh*t out of you. You are committed to anchoring your courage and your compassion into the form of your vision, for yourself and for the collective.
And to do so leading not by hoarding power but by embodying it — rooted in your center, in your connection to the earth, to your people, and to your values.
This leadership—your leadership—is the leadership we need. It’s the leadership you carry, possibly without even realizing it. The kind that dismantles outdated systems not with domination, but with presence, with love, with curiosity, and with devotion to the vision, not the agenda.
This is who you are. I know because it’s who I am, too.
You—we—are the future. The bridges to the visions for our world that are so alive inside of us, asking ever more insistently to be birthed and made into form.
This is the vision in me: 10 million matriarchs (and more!) deeply embodied and so unbound from the vestiges of the old world and all its toxicity, making their visions a reality in which all life can thrive within.
So many will say this is a delusion. Why? Because somewhere deep inside them, they have given up. Not you. You will never give up—because you Know, in that deep down place, what is true, and what is possible. And you are here to bring it forth.
This is simply who you are. And you are why I created UNBOUND — a space for women like you, who are ready to live fully into their true size by unbinding themselves from the limitations and judgements within and freeing themselves, unleashed, into a life that’s made specifically for them, because it’s created via the guidance and wisdom of the soma.
UNBOUND is where you stop sidelining your calling to “later,” and wayfind now—deep into your dharma—to create the calling(s) that whisper incessently to you in the darkest hours of the night. Will you join me?
