You tell yourself the same story every holiday season: "This year I'll be more patient. This year I won't snap. This year will be different." Then your parent asks you the same question for the fifth time in an hour. Or accuses you of something that never happened. Or gets upset over a happy memory you tried to share. And you feel it. That tension in your jaw, your chest tightening, your patience gone. Then comes the guilt. The shame. The feeling that you're failing them. But here's what's really happening: their brain is reliving memories instead of remembering them. Your cortisol has been elevated for months (or years). Two dysregulated nervous systems are trying to create a peaceful moment together. You're not failing. You're frying. Episode 2 breaks down the neuroscience of why holiday caregiving is so hard and gives you actual tools to regulate your nervous system before you walk back into that room.

Episode 1 of The Raw Onion just dropped. Two women. One conversation. A lot of layers about to get peeled back. Episode 1 is about the corporate "family" myth and why it keeps you stuck, plus a 72-hour boundary hack you can actually use. If you've ever been told "we're like a family here" and felt the weight of that lie, this one's for you. We're digging into the patterns that keep you overworking, overthinking, and saying yes when you mean no. First episode is up now. Come peel back some layers with us. 🎧 https://therawonion.substack.com/ Yoshie

Hello beautiful souls, 💫 I'm taking a mindful step back from the Classroom right now to nurture and grow the content with more authenticity and care. As someone who values doing things with presence and intention, I want to ensure what I share truly serves your journey. 🙏 This pause feels peaceful and right - allowing space for curiosity to guide me toward creating something more fulfilling and rich in value for our community. 🌸 I'm grateful for your understanding as I honor this natural rhythm of growth. When the Classroom reopens, it will be from a place of genuine service and joy. ✨ Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Your patience and trust mean everything. 💛🤗 With love and gratitude, Yoshie

You're not lacking decision-making skills. You're scattering your incredible gifts—your attention to detail, your thoroughness, your depth of thinking—across endless research instead of focusing them on what you're actually sensing. Right now, you're likely sitting with an important decision, feeling like you need just one more piece of information. But you're not missing information—you're missing the signals you've been overlooking while perfecting your analysis. The "Stop Scattering Your Gifts" 5-Day Challenge is here. Over 5 days, you'll receive daily practices (just 10-15 minutes each) to: → Recognize when your gifts are scattering versus focused → Redirect your natural thoroughness toward inner guidance → Take action based on what you sense, not what you think you should research Using what I call Kaizen Steps—small, focused actions that build trust in what you're sensing and create real completion. Ready to stop spinning in research loops and start honoring your powerful abilities? Comment or DM "I'M IN" to join. Your first day starts immediately. 💫
