You’re working your ass off in your home life, at work, and in your community. Maybe you’re a disruptor or a caregiver or both.

You’re deeply caring for the well-being of others and giving completely of yourself to support and uplift them while disrupting toxic systems.

BUT.

Often this work is never-ending and there aren’t clear boundaries between all the areas of your life.

Disruptors bring work home with them and are thinking and feeling through things in their “off-hours”. Caregivers have to deal with caregiving things during their work hours (whether working outside of the home or within) and may have to be available in evening, overnight, and early morning for support.

And the problem is…

You have a deep desire to care for yourself but have extremely limited bandwidth, capacity, time, resources, or support for you to take care of yourself the way YOU want to.

You want to do better for yourself but have a hard time breaking the cycle of caring for others and disrupting FIRST and caring for yourself SECOND. 

You feel guilty saying no or enforcing boundaries because you deeply care for your work and uplifting others so you’re always connected, doing, and overcommitting.

You struggle with slowing down and learning how to rest to rejuvenate because the world is on fire.

And most likely, you were socialized to not ask for help, to keep personal struggles or hardships private, and to seem like you have everything all together all of the time.

But despite your best effort, it’s not working.

Because this way of life pushes you further away from resourced, connected, and happy, and leaves you with very little for yourself.

So, the cycle continues and that limits the amount of impact you can have in the long term. And then… you’re complicit in upholding a part of the very systems designed to fail you that you’re trying to dismantle.

The reality is: showing up in this world authentically while caring for, supporting, and uplifting others ON TOP OF living in a society built on oppressive systems AND given the constant state of trauma and injustice happening daily is incredibly taxing of your mental, emotional, physical, and energetic bandwidth and capacity.  

And if you’re actively bypassing yourself instead of resourcing yourself, you’ll only have depleted stores from which to give.

You won’t have enough resources to regulate yourself, regenerate your cells, and rejuvenate your being.

AND having no boundaries or not upholding them further escalates dysregulation.

All of this keeps the systems going strong and you completely drained.

What you really need to do is:

DISRUPT THE WAY THE SYSTEMS ARE IMPACTING YOUR SELF-CARE.

Understand where and how the systems are showing up in your every day.

Implement intentional and sustainable practices that align with your needs and nature.

I was juggling a really difficult summer class with client work and the pressure felt insurmountable.

This year, my focus word is "leisure," and by prioritizing this as much as I can, I've spent more time crafting, going to movies, taking long walks, and doing other things that add ease to my life. I love the recordings and really rely on the accountability to show up to live classes. It keeps me active and it's fun! When I joined, I enjoyed building the practices into my schedule in a sustainable way and I anticipate this year will be even better for building. I look forward to the monthly Collective calls and wouldn't want to miss them!”

Since working with Steff in the collective, I've learned that self-care really means to take care of oneself each and every day through small practices that help me do all the things that matter to me, including being present in my home and work life.

I have taken steps to decide what is important to me and I better understand how and why these things shift over time. I have stood up for things that are important to me. I have become more mindful of my daily habits, including my nutrition, exercise, and sleep.

The 2 years before I joined the Collective were incredibly challenging for me due to worldwide, societal, and personal upheaval.

Steff's classes and teachings have become a touchstone in my life as I have started to "come back". I am now taking better care of my mental health than I ever have, and I am regularly connecting to my emotions intentionally. I am working towards specific goals that I have around self-care, fitness, and my career and Steff 's teachings have been some of the most helpful during this period. She is a generous, humble, and a fun teacher, and everyone who has the privilege of learning from Steff will be better for it. 

Shift the way you interact with life.

MOST OF ALL: KEEP IT SIMPLE AND FLEXIBLE BASED ON the type of energy present, YOUR CAPACITY, BANDWIDTH, AND THE CHAOS AROUND YOU.

Actively create space for yourself for inquiry and resource yourself by meeting yourself where you are.

Confront old beliefs and truths that are no longer true, disrupt the patterns attached to them, and intentionally shed the habits that aren’t serving you.

Live your commitment to your self-care, which will naturally create supportive boundaries.

And re-evaluate and reimagine your relationship with rest, slowing down, and pausing and develop a variety of rest practices - that change with the season and your capacity.

Take back your divine right to be well, at ease, resourced to live and work as a whole, complete and happy human.
