I know what this looks like. But let me tell you what it actually is.

Three years in a row, I’ve had my heart broken right before this training. And this time? It hit harder. I’ve been off for the last month: mentally, emotionally, physically.

And yeah… I’ve lost weight. I didn’t plan it. I didn’t want it. It’s what happens when you stop eating, stop sleeping, and start spiraling.
I call it my “trauma body.”

But here’s the part that matters:
Instead of hiding or pretending I’m okay, I showed up. To film. To teach. To lead. To feel.
And I let that heartbreak move through me…on the mat, behind the camera, and now, on this swing.

This video? This was one of the first moments I felt free again.

I didn’t force myself to show up like nothing happened. I let myself arrive as I am.
And you know what? That’s exactly what this training teaches. You don’t have to be your “best” self to grow. You just have to be honest.

Because showing up how you actually feel?
That’s how you relate to your students. That’s how you heal. That’s how you remember who you are, before the heartbreak, and after.

And if you’re going through it too? You don’t have to hide. Not here. Not in this practice. Not with me. Remember this: You are allowed to show up broken. And still be worthy of teaching, healing, and being kind to yourself.
