Are you DONE with the trauma-drama but the trauma-drama isn't done with you?

Ok, so you made it through your teens and early twenties by the skin of your teeth.

Maybe you got called out by a partner or loved one, or just had a quiet moment in the wreckage of the night before where it hit you, "Hey, I'm a little bit out of control."

You realized that a lot of the crazy sh*t you did was not you being "fun and spontaneous" -- it was a trauma reaction, it's getting old and more importantly it's getting in the way of the stable, grounded, genuinely inspired life you want.

The problem is, you're still waking up with your head spinning... planning to do yoga and not doing it... staring at your phone and waiting for your ex to text you...and wondering - when does this get better?

I get it. I've been there. And first of all, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so glad you're still alive and I'm so impressed with how far you've come.

The good news is, it CAN be all downhill from here, but... You need the right tools, strategies, mindset and direction. That is also a spot-on definition of getting stuck in a trauma-drama loop. We get triggered, we take an impulsive action that we are ABSOLUTELY SURE will DEFINITELY FIX IT THIS TIME and in the moment it feels SO GOOD... And then we wake up the next morning with a pounding headache, a series of cringey texts to someone who is definitely not available to save our life, or a person in our bed who we now have to figure out what to do with in the light of day.

Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting something to change.

If the drama is getting boring but you don’t know how to make it stop, here’s what you need to know:

- Healing is possible. It’s not magic and it doesn’t have to consume the rest of your life.

- It’s a decision. It’s a decision to DO something different.

- Not just analyze or talk about it, but actually do it.

And once you make that decision, you need to surround yourself with friends and mentors who will support you and remind you to keep making that decision every single day.

You're staring at a fork in the road. One of those forks leads to true healing. The other leads to a lifetime of ups and downs and a rollercoaster of emotions that never ends.

I can tell you which fork to take, but the one thing I need to know from you is whether you are really and truly done with the drama. Because once I point out the path, you need to be ready to take it.

In resilience,
