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. 🌿

If you were able to tune in last week to the amazing podcast, you might remember the exercise in vulnerability and self-exploration that Jaggers introduced. If you missed it, I HIGHLY recommend you find it on your podcast platform and tune in. It was powerful stuff! ( https://www.skool.com/somaticrelease/wow-that-live-podcast-went-deep?p=0bc46842 [Practice @ 14:28] ) At one point, they were discussing how many of us live behind "masks" in some (or all) areas of our lives and how that limits us from being able to fully connect with others around us. It truly prevents us from reaching our fullest version of ourselves, and in a way prevents others from ever truly knowing us. Today, I would like to take a moment to revive the exercise and take a step to initiate a place for everyone to practice this together. I will begin by providing a template for the practice, then I will post my own version. **Template:** "(Name), right now, I would like you to see me as _________; but I would rather be loved for who I am." I would like to see everyone pause for a moment and invite everyone who reads this to respond as honestly as possible here. I witnessed some of the most humbling and moving connection between Adam and Steven in the moments they exchanged these. I invite everyone to open yourselves to being truly seen and loved as you are. You are always worthy. 💖🪷💖 🫂 I'll Start: "Anyone who reads this~ Right now, I would like you to see me as someone who has their life organized. I would like to be seen as someone who is successful despite relentless hurdles, and as someone you can trust with your deepest secrets; but I would rather be loved exactly as I am."

I feel called to share something that touched my heart this morning: After a birthday weekend full of ups and a few deep downs, today I commited to a 10 day challenge in my free "insight timer" app. This morning's mindfulness moment was 7 minutes of remembering that we are enough, exactly as we are in this moment. We dont need to earn our worth, we are valuable just being here. ✨️🪷✨️ I was reminded of how every breath we take has a profound butterfly effect- even when we dont realize or see it- and this makes us irreplaceable and invaluable to the global collective. We dont need to try to change the world or earn our place- our continuing existence is already changing it effortlessly. We dont owe anyone anything or any version of ourselves that is not true ourselves. The truth is, however, that we owe ourselves honesty to align within and live authentically with empathy. Do this for yourself, and everything else will change by nature; including anyone who would try to tell you otherwise. TLDR; ✨️Your value is NEVER determined by another person- especially those who do not appreciate you.✨️ 🪷You do not need to entertain anyone who tells you that you are unworthy- your peace is allowed to be more important than their ego.🪷 Allow your vibe to rise above the static. You ARE good enough. You DO deserve to be happy. You ARE welcome to exist with me, even if you feel unwelcome anywhere else. Sending genuine love and comfort for all on this beautiful rainy fall day. 🫂 If anyone could use a friendly, unbiased, and experienced ear- my inbox is always open and my heart is here to meet yours. ♡May your timezones be blessed.♡
