I've found myself increasingly frustrated by how many people I love dismiss this work without even trying it. They come to me overwhelmed, dysregulated, and spiraling—panicking about one thing or another. And when I gently offer a simple 10-minute reset to help clear their minds so we can actually address the issue, the responses are almost always the same: “Maybe later.” “Not right now.” “Send me the video—I’ll do it after/when _____.” And yet… they stay in the spiral. For hours. Days. Sometimes weeks. Repeating the same stories, circling the same pain despite any guidance, redirection, or grounding I offer. And somewhere in that loop, there’s this unspoken expectation that I’ll sit there with them in it—that I’ll co-hold the chaos without them ever reaching for the rope I’m offering. 🫂✨ And to be clear, that “rope” isn’t just breathwork. It’s anything I offer to help shift them from crisis into something more grounded, more manageable, more clear—a pause, one slow breath, a reframe, a next step, a moment of perspective. They come to me seeking coaching, help, and healing, (for FREE, knowing that it is how i make my living) and then refuse anything that might actually move them out of the spiral. Instead, they stay… and expect me to stay with them. And that’s where something in me has started to shift. 💞🌌 Because I know how powerful this work is. I’ve lived it. I’ve breathed it. I’ve watched it create space where there was once only overwhelm. So to see it consistently resisted—rejected—by people I care about has been painful. Not because they don’t choose it. But because they come begging for relief… while refusing the doorway to it. And I’m starting to see more clearly: some people aren’t actually seeking change. They’re seeking commiseration. Co-dysregulation. A place to stay exactly where they are—just not alone in it. And that’s an energy I no longer feel attached to. 🪷✨ I’ve spent time reflecting on why this triggers me so deeply, but I haven’t landed on any big “aha.” What I have noticed is something quieter, more honest—I’m outgrowing the version of me who felt responsible for carrying others through their storms, especially when they won’t even take a step toward shore.

Hey everyone, quick heads up: We need to reschedule today’s live podcast with Steven and myself. Steven’s dealing with a power outage, and he’s not sure when it’ll come back. So, we’re moving the LIVE podcast to March 20th at 11 a.m. Pacific. Thanks for your understanding and we can’t wait to see you all then!

This community has helped me break down the walls I spent a lifetime building. For the first time in my life, I feel safe. I feel heard, seen, and valued, and that’s something I’m not used to. The things I’m learning about myself through what’s being taught here are invaluable. The love for myself is slowly coming back. This journey of self-discovery that once scared me is now something I truly enjoy. Thank you to every single person in this space for what you do, for how you show up, and for your vulnerability. Thank you for sharing your stories, for doing the work, and for bringing it back to us so we can all rise together. I hold this community so close to my heart. 💛 I’m a better mother because of Soma+IQ, and that’s something I’ve always wanted more than anything. I’m learning that I’m okay exactly where I am. I’m learning to accept all parts of me and to let go of the things I can’t control. Most importantly, I’m getting to know my body. This vessel that has carried me for forty years, that I’ve neglected for so long simply because I didn’t know any different. There’s still so much more to discover, and that’s the beauty of it. Like Steven says, we are all verbs. I’m not just living, I’m Jenning. 🌿
