Quick story before this ends.
A few years ago, I sat in my car after a family dinner and cried.
Not because anything terrible happened. Everyone was fine. The food was good. Nobody fought.
But I'd said yes to hosting when I wanted to say no. I'd absorbed everyone's moods like a sponge. I'd smiled through comments that stung, then spent the drive home replaying every moment, wondering why I couldn't just handle things like a normal person.
I didn't have words for it then.
Now I do: my nervous system was dysregulated. My boundaries were non-existent. And I was exhausted from a lifetime of abandoning myself to keep everyone else comfortable.
Here's what I've learned since then:
You can't think your way out of a body that doesn't feel safe.
You can't set boundaries if no one ever taught you how—or if your survival depended on not having any.
And you can't force a brain that works differently to function on systems designed for someone else.
But you can learn. Slowly. With the right tools and a lot of self-compassion.
Tonight at midnight, our three toolkits go from $9.95 to $200.
If one of these is meant for you, you probably already know.
If not—no pressure, truly. This is the last email I'll send about it.
Either way, I hope you're kind to yourself tonight.
You're not broken. You just never got the manual.
With care,
