Do you have emotional antennas?🐞 

I never liked sleepovers. 

I remember lying awake in a sleeping bag

feeling the buzz of every girl in that room.

They were passed out and snoring.

I was buzzing with the energy of 

“I just wish I were in my own bed.”

Do you know that feeling?

The “I just want to be HOME” feeling?

I used to think I was a scaredy cat. 

a homebody. 

an introvert.

These are more digestible words to describe people like us, 

who have eyes, ears, and nose, but also emotional antennae 🐜 

How do you know you have emotional antennae?

  • You hear what they don’t say

  • You feel what they don’t share

  • You see beneath the facade 

  • You pick up on others feelings before they say a word 🤫 

The girl in the sleeping bag next to you.

The parents cleaning up the pizza upstairs, who are clearly fighting.

The kid who says SURE OK! But you feel their body pleading NO!

You hear their energy louder than their words.

Do you respond to what they say or what your antennae hear?

A counselor told me:

“90% of your issues are actually other people’s. When you learn to discern the difference between  you versus them, you’ll feel SO MUCH LIGHTER.” 😳

I could never sleep in a room with other people because I didn’t know how to leverage my antennae.

I didn’t know the buzzy feeling that kept me awake until breakfast 

was the feeling of my inner sponge 🧽 soaked with too much of others’ water. 

I couldn’t hear myself think, 

let alone drift off to sleep. 

I thought I was riddled with anxiety

but I was just over my head 

drowning in everyone else’s stuff.  

To be a healer, a mom, a leader

who trusts themselves,

we have to learn to swim to dry land,

to crawl back into our bed,

wrap ourselves in silky sheets 

of our frequency 😌 

Once we walk ourselves HOME 

We’ll feel our BODY relax 

We’ll hear the STILLNESS of our own voice

We’ll trust our YES

We’ll hear our NO

And we’ll know what emotions 

are no longer (and never were) 

ours to carry.

Tap & Ask Yourself 

  • Where do I second-guess myself?

  • Whose energy, beliefs, or opinions are making my YES hard to hear?

  • How can I step away from their noise and crawl back HOME to myself?

  • What would that look like?

  • What would that take?

  • Can I take one small step today?

What’s your first step? 

May this mini roadmap support you on your journey to break inherited patterns.

The next generation thanks you.
