If you’re curious as to if you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of effort, but the fact that you’re pushing too hard?



In this episode, I break down the cycle I call purging and surging and how it traps so many people. A coach once told me to stop pushing, and that single moment flipped everything I thought I knew about progress. Surrender shifted my energy, my business, and my life in ways I couldn’t have forced if I tried. You’ll hear how this same pattern shows up in my clients through rumination, overwhelm, and self-doubt, and why it always ties back to trust. I also share simple practices to move out of force and into flow, so life can finally start working with you instead of against you.

You’ll Learn:

• What purging and surging really means and why this cycle becomes a slippery slope
• How it shows up through rumination, analysis paralysis, and confirmation bias
• The symptoms it creates, from anxiety and stress to overwhelm, low-vibration feelings, obstacles, and lack of trust in yourself and the world
• What shifts when you stop forcing outcomes and allow yourself to just be
• How awareness, trust, synchronicity, and openness to new ideas create more calm, peace, gratitude, and authenticity
• Simple methods to move from pushing to surrendering, including checking your alignment, exploring the roots of beliefs and coping patterns, and nervous system retraining when needed
• A powerful practice of asking for divine help and why you’ll get tested by your choices and thoughts along the way
