Pleasure Portals: yes. things really are what you say, think, & believe.
You ever have one of those moments where everything gets real quiet—not because nothing’s happening, but because something deeper is starting to speak? That’s what this season feels like. I’m sitting here with my tea, journal wide open like it’s about to spill my business before I even do, and I can feel it: that invitation. It’s subtle, but steady. Coming through my left ear:
“Ground down. Root in. Let yourself feel good again.”
Lately, I’ve been sitting with this feeling—through client sessions, mama chats, voice notes with my village—of being reminded over and over again how essential it is to find our way back to our pleasure. Not just surface-level pleasure, but deep core-desired living. The kind that doesn’t need to be earned. The kind that feels like truth, like home.
So many of us—mothers, space holders, healers, visionaries—we’re building beautiful things, but sometimes on foundations that haven’t been tended to in a while. We forget that slowing down is not failure, it’s fortification. That joy is not optional, it’s medicinal.
*sips tea.
And pleasure? She’s not a luxury. She’s a guide.
These past few weeks have been a masterclass in softening into what’s real. In noticing where we’re out of alignment and choosing to come back—not with shame, but with curiosity.
Can I ask you something?
Where does it feel good to be you? What makes you feel held, juicy, alive? What’s calling you home to yourself?
I’m asking myself the same questions. Sometimes as a daily or weekly devotion to myself.
Do you wanna join me in this?
I invite you to commit—not to grinding harder, but to building softer. I invite you to ground in joy, in breath, in body. I invite you to remember what lights us up and dare to prioritize it. I invite you to reimagine success through the lens of pleasure and alignment.
Because you deserve to live from the center of your desires—not the edges of your exhaustion.
So yeah…come sit with me. Let’s talk about building from the inside out. Let’s explore what it looks like to live well, feel good, and root into everything we were told we had to wait for.
No more waiting. We’re here now.
be. here. now.
Love is you.
