What if the fear that keeps us small is older than we are?


Reader, do you ever notice yourself holding back?

Maybe you have something meaningful to say, but hesitate to say it.

You trust your intuition, until someone else disagrees.

Or you find yourself masking, minimizing, undervaluing what you do, or waiting until you feel just a little more ready.

I’ve become deeply interested in a question underneath these patterns:

What if some of what we carry didn’t start with us?

Over the past year, I’ve been researching inherited trauma, patriarchal stress, and the history of “witch” persecutions — and how these threads come together in what’s often called the Witch Wound.

But you don’t need to identify as a witch, practice witchcraft, or have a witch in your bloodline for this framework to be relevant.

I’m using the Witch Wound as a lens for exploring patterns that can still show up today around visibility, value, voice, desire, and power.

That exploration has become a new course:

Sovereign Ground

A flower essence journey into the inherited patterns that affect our visibility, value, voice, desire, and power.

We’ll explore the history behind these patterns, how we might recognize them in ourselves, and flower essences, gem elixirs, and other vibrational allies that can support the process of reclamation.

⚜️ Sovereign Ground opens October 22 with self-paced lessons and three live integration circles on October 29, November 5, and November 12. Early Bird enrollment is now open.

I’m excited—and feeling a little vulnerable—to finally bring this work to you.

I hope you’ll take a look and see if it speaks to something in you.

Keep flowering,

Upcoming Live Chat 💬 Cultivating quiet power in a frenzied world As leaders and power structures continue grabbing money and power-over, amidst the aggressive noise of politics and media, we can be left feeling disempowered and resigned. In this month's live chat, let's talk about essences and practices that can help us access our inner authority and personal power — that inherent quiet force, resilience, and potential that originates within us. How can we remain firm, calm, and capable when...

Before I make a flower essence, I create a container. I call the directions, connect with spirit and the plant, and begin the work within a space that feels intentionally held. I’m bringing that same practice into Sovereign Ground. We’ll be looking at difficult history, inherited patterns, and the possibility of conscious change. And I don’t want to begin by asking us to push through patterns that may have been trying to protect us. I want to begin with support. The first ally I’m calling in...

Flowering Reader, Years ago, when I worked in the corporate world, I had a strange little habit. I kept yellow file folders nearby. I was just beginning to learn about energetic protection, and I’d read about the solar plexus as a place where we both project our own energy and take in the energy of others. So before difficult meetings or sometimes just walking through the office — I would hold a yellow folder in front of my solar plexus. It may sound funny, but it was my way of creating a...
