Let’s talk about the .2 mm surface of your skin

The opening workshop for MSA’s July challenge—The Heavenly Unravel—is now up in the Replay Classroom.

This is where we begin our journey through the skull, face, neck, shoulders, and upper arms—where tension hides, and healing begins.

And here's a little note from me to you.

💬 I say this with full compassion, no judgment—because I’ve been there.

I started Botox and fillers in my early 20s. Not because I was vain, but because I was deeply insecure. I didn’t feel at home in my own face and body. I thought if I could just “fix” a few things on the outside, I would finally feel better on the inside.

But here’s the truth I’ve had to live into:

Even the most expensive serum… even the sharpest needle… cannot override a mind that’s stuck in self-rejection.

Botox may soften the appearance of wrinkles(when I was in my early 20ssss???), yes—but it also paralyzes nerve signals, silences the body’s expressions, and interrupts your natural feedback loop.

You might look “youthful” (again I was in my early 20ssssss, how am I not looking youthful......)but you lose connection to the messages your body is trying to send. And that disconnection has a cost.

🌿 It wasn’t until I shifted my mindset—until I learned to listen to and love the living architecture beneath my skin—that I finally started to feel beautiful.

I’m now 38. And I can honestly say I’ve done nothing non-natural for over a decade.

No Botox. No fillers. No high-end surface fixes.

And for the first time, I feel proud. Not because of how I look—but because of how I relate to myself.

Your beauty is not broken.

Your body is not lacking.

You don’t need to freeze your face to feel worthy.

You just need to come home to your structure, your flow, and your truth.

That said, if you’re choosing any procedure to you for you from a grounded place, with clear self-trust—then that’s your truth. And I honor that.

What I'm offering here is not a rejection of aesthetic tools—it’s a reconnection with the wisdom underneath. The part that’s always been trying to guide you back home.

This is a space where we share—not just receive. So I’d love to hear from you.

🔹 What was your turning point in how you related to your face?

🔹 Have you had your own unraveling—where you let go of something you thought you “needed” to feel beautiful?

🔹 Or are you still somewhere in the middle, figuring it out?
