To Every Woman Who Stepped In… and Every Woman About To

SOVEREIGN PEARL:

THE RETURN TO THE RADIANT SELF

 

I have been sitting with something all week, letting it move around within, the way meaningful experiences sometimes ask us to: slowly, gently, quietly. We just wrapped the latest round of my women’s program, Sovereign Pearl, and my heart still feels swollen, in the best possible way.

Maybe it is the timing of the season, maybe the way November nudges us toward stillness, or maybe it is simply the women themselves. I cannot quite explain it, but this third round carried a depth I am still trying to understand.

It was not dramatic or flashy. It felt more like realizing you have been holding your

breath without noticing.

For ten weeks, these women showed up, each in the way their life allowed. Mothers,

maidens, business owners, photographers, teachers, writers, healers, yoga teachers, students, and wise women walking their pre and post menopausal chapters.

Some were with us live each week, fully

present while others moved through the teachings in their own rhythms, tending to the practices when their schedules opened a

little space. What mattered was not the

timing, it was the devotion.

Inside the container, they embodied the soulful teachings and practices. They drew from a cache of so much I have learned along my own path, and when woven into their living, breathing lives, these practices gave them everything they needed to remember, reconnect, and radiate their feminine light. That is the beauty of this work. It meets women exactly where they are, and supports them

in the ways their season, their body, and

their day to day reality can hold.

We ended with an in-person closing retreat at our sacred little mountain forest retreat center. I keep trying to describe that weekend, but every version doesnt do it justice because what actually happened was more intuituve, feminine. and effortless. Conversations drifted in and out like they had been happening for years. There were shared moments

in the sauna, women singing together, letting the heat melt something old in their bodies. There were quiet pauses where no one

needed to perform or impress. It felt strangely familiar, like meeting people you

somehow already know.

What stayed with me was the courage in the room. Not the forced kind, no, this was deep, embodied, feminine courage. The kind

you can feel in someone’s body before they even speak, or the beauty that emerges when a woman stops bracing against life, even for a moment. You could see it in the way they looked at one another. You could feel it in the way our postures softened and brightened

by the end of the weekend.

As we move toward Thanksgiving, I keep circling back to a kind of gratitude that feels purer for women doing deep, inner work.

Not the polite, performative version that asks us to smile through what hurts, but the

slower kind that rises from the body; a gratitude that does not erase complexity.

A woman can be grateful and grieving, grateful and angry, grateful and becoming. This kind of gratitude is a remembering of what has sustained her: her breath, her intuition, the relationships that held her, and the practices that helped her return to herself. It does not demand neatness, it simply invites her

to notice what is life giving, and in that noticing, something softens. Something clarifies. Something opens.

Guiding this work, alongside loving my family and tending to my own healing, remains one of the deepest callings of my life. Every round of Sovereign Pearl reminds me of why it was born.

These women bring it alive. They take the teachings and turn them into transformation.

A space like this matters. A space where

women do not have to rush their becoming, or apologize for it, or make it prettier than it is. It is a place where we remember ourselves, with

a witnessing that stays with us. We are not the same once we have gone to the

depths and risen again.

This is the essence of Sovereign Pearl.

A return to the radiant self.

This photo of me holding a bouquet is simply a small reminder of how proud I am of every woman who has shown up for herself in this way.

It matters more than we know. It is rarer than we might imagine.

And it stays with me. and it stay with them...forever more.
