When It’s Not Working, You’re Allowed to Let It Break

You know that feeling of pushing the same weight up the same hill every day? Waking up already tired. Holding it all together because stopping feels impossible.

Here’s what I want you to hear. If it’s not working, break it. Set it on fire. (Not literally. Unless it’s a contained bonfire and you’ve got a solid fire plan.)

Your nervous system is speaking to you all the time. When something in your body is saying this isn’t right, that’s your Body Knowing™, and it deserves to be listened to. Life was not meant to be this hard, day after day. A resourced nervous system can feel groundedness, humour, joy, grief, even anger. If all you can feel is the bracing, something needs to change.

And breaking things doesn’t mean walking away from everyone. Rupture can be the very thing that lets a relationship grow stronger. You can change your routine completely. You can repair with your children. You can say sorry. You can make a mistake and hold yourself kindly through it, because you’re human, and that gentleness is a repair too.

It’s okay that things break. When we rebuild on better foundations, we find we have so much more capacity to meet life as it really is.

If this landed somewhere deep in you, I’d love you to come and sit with me over on YouTube. Subscribe to Nervous System Support for regular somatic practices and teachings for your healing. https://www.youtube.com/

Take Two Minutes With Me Right Now

Pause whatever you’re doing.

Notice your breath, moving naturally in and out of your body. You don’t need to change it. Just notice.

Feel your sit bones on the surface beneath you. Get curious about that contact.

Now feel your feet on the ground. Notice how stable it is. How consistent. It’s always here, holding you.

Let your breath move into that feeling. Let it expand.

Stay a few more moments. As long as you like.

This is a small somatic practice you can do anywhere, anytime. In the car, at work, in the middle of a hard day. It’s designed to bring you back to the present moment and reconnect you with your body, no matter what’s happening around you.

No matter what’s going on in the world, you can always pause.

And if you want to make these pauses part of your every day, The Body Remembers journals walk with you through 90 days of somatic practice to tend your nervous system. Find them at www.thesomatherapycollective.com

We Live in a Mother Wound Culture, and Your Nervous System Feels It

We look for the mother in each other. We long for nourishment, connection and care, and so often meet rupture instead. That’s not a personal failing. It’s what happens in a world that doesn’t value life, the mother, children, the earth, our ancestors or community.

This is the work I’m devoted to. And I want to let you in on something many of you may not know.

All of my content now lives on my YouTube channel, Nervous System Support. My podcasts, my teachings, and more and more of my courses. It’s been growing beautifully and organically, and it’s where I’ll be spending more of my time as my work expands.

If you’re wanting to understand and regulate your nervous system, map and remap your system, alchemise rage and grief, heal your motherline, connect with your ancestors and repair the rupture with the primordial mother, with yourself and with your own mother, this is the place.

Because when you tend your own nervous system, you’re part of healing something much bigger than you.

I’d love you to come and find me there. Subscribe to Nervous System Support.

The Day I Bit Her Arm

I was a spirited little girl. Hard to control. Too much mind of my own. And I grew up in a family where children were meant to be seen and not heard.

One day, a girl a year older than me took my favourite Barbie and wouldn’t give it back. She teased me and taunted me until all that anger and frustration had nowhere left to go inside my small body.

So I bit her on the arm.

I’m not saying biting is good. But I got into so much trouble. The relationship with her whole family broke. And I don’t think my mother ever forgave me.

What breaks my heart now is that no one asked what had happened to me. No one saw a little girl pushed past what she could hold. They only saw the bite.

So many of us were that child. Shamed for the fire, never met in the hurt underneath it. And we’re still carrying that shame, when really our rage was the part of us crying out, this isn’t fair.

This is an excerpt from Episode 22 of The Unf**kwithable Woman, Rooted Rage: Why Your Rage Is Medicine, Not Madness. Go gently. Feet on the ground. Pause whenever you need.

Rage Guards Your Grief

Have you ever been called hard? Guarded? Always ready for a fight?

I was. For years I couldn’t cry. And what I didn’t know then was that my rage was standing at a door, and behind that door was a grief so big it would have swept me away if I’d opened it in the wrong place.

Very often, rage stands at the door of grief. For me, it was the protector. The part that said, I will not let you fall apart somewhere that isn’t safe.

So if you’re carrying a fierce, guarded part, please be gentle with her. She may be the bravest part of you, keeping watch until it’s safe enough to feel.

Grief without rage can become collapse. Rage without grief can become hardness. Grief softens the fire so it doesn’t scorch. Rage gives grief a spine so it doesn’t drown you.

The work isn’t getting rid of either. It’s getting to know them both, letting them move through you, and letting them be met. When your rage trusts you’re safe, it steps aside. And the grief can finally fall.

Rooted Rage Charges You, Anger Drains You

Do you know the feeling after anger has moved through you? Shaky hands. A hollow chest. The shame that settles in afterwards like fog.

I lived in that cycle for years. Anger, the way most of us know it, is a cultural construct. It’s irritated, disembodied energy with no roots. It flares up in the head and the chest, snaps, spills sideways onto the people around us, and leaves us depleted. It spins us out instead of grounding us in.

Rage is something else entirely. Rage is primordial. One of our oldest senses. It lives below language, below thought, in the bones.

And when rage is rooted, it doesn’t drain you. It charges you. Grounded and held, it feels like a strong, steady hum underneath everything. A current running up through your legs and into your belly and spine. It doesn’t need to explode. It already knows its own strength.

That hum is your life force, finally at home in your body.

This is an excerpt from Episode 22 of The Unf**kwithable Woman, Rooted Rage: Why Your Rage Is Medicine, Not Madness. Go gently. Feet on the ground. Pause whenever you need.

Performing Composure Pushes Rage Underground

How long have you been holding it all together?

Smiling through. Keeping your voice soft. Staying reasonable when everything in you wanted to scream. I was so good at it. And the better I got, the deeper my fire sank.

So many of the women I work with live here. Calm, capable, successful by every outside measure. They keep the peace. They choose love over fear. And underneath, there’s a fire with nowhere to go.

It shows up as snapping at the people they love most. As resentment they can’t name. As exhaustion that no holiday can lift. As a body that never quite unclenches. Sometimes it turns inward, into anxiety, depression, illness, or a voice in their head that never lets them rest.

Success doesn’t fix this. The more you climb, the more you perform composure, the further your rage is pushed underground.

What helps isn’t more control. It’s giving your fire roots, and a body safe enough to hold it.

Rage and Grief Move Together

Do you find yourself stuck in one or the other?

Always on fire, sharp and guarded, holding everyone at arm’s length. Or always grieving, tender and heavy, with no strength left to stand.

I’ve lived both. And in my work with women, I see it again and again. Some women carry rage right at the surface, and underneath is an ocean of grief that was never allowed to fall. Others grieve endlessly, and what’s missing is the fire that would say, this should not have happened to me. I deserve better. I will not let it happen again.

Grief without rage can become collapse. Rage without grief can become hardness. Together, they make something whole. Grief softens the fire so it doesn’t scorch. Rage gives grief a spine so it doesn’t drown you.

Rage says, this should not have happened. Grief says, and it did.

You need both to tell the whole truth about what happened to you.

A Good Enough Mother Isn’t Perfect. She Repairs.

A good enough mother gets it right around thirty percent of the time. What makes her good enough is that when she ruptures the connection with her child, or with herself, she goes back in and repairs it.

This isn’t about tallying a mother’s mistakes or measuring her worth by how nurturing or attached she is. Staying fully attuned is incredibly hard in a culture shaped by violence and oppression.

I speak from my own life here. I had a Death Mother. I carry threads of her in me. I’ve lived the Death Father and the mother wound, alongside ancestral stories of oppression, violence and abuse. So many of us carry the same.

So here’s the distinction I want you to hold. A Death Mother isn’t defined by rupture. Every mother ruptures. A Death Mother ruptures and never repairs. A Death Father centres himself and never repairs.

Repair is where the healing lives.

When My Rage Found Its Roots

I was hit for my rage as a child. Punished for it. Shamed for it. Later I was picked on for it, called names for it, made to feel bad for it. For most of my life, I’ve stood toe to toe with other people’s reactions to my fire.

And I’ve seen what rage can do. To families. To bodies. The addictions, the abuse, the slow rot of never feeling worthy, held, met or safe. It turns the body in on itself. It turns relationships in on themselves. It annihilates connection with self, with family, with love.

But here is what I know now. It destroys not because it is rage, but because it has no roots. Because it has nowhere safe to go.

When I finally met my rage with roots, when I witnessed it and held it and made it safe, it became my greatest power and my greatest resource. It deepened my love. It taught me how to rupture and how to repair. It brought me into an intimacy with life I didn’t know could exist.

It is pure magic. A humbling, beautiful, reverent way to live.
