You're not too much. You just need the right space.

Hi lovely.
I used to think I needed to be good at yoga to deserve a place on the mat.
Seriously. I’d show up to class and spend half of it in my head - comparing, adjusting, wondering if I looked like I knew what I was doing. Missing the whole point of why I was even there.
And honestly? That’s exactly how I was living my life too.
Understanding everything. Trying hard. And still somehow convincedI was doing it wrong.
I’d look around at people who seemed to just get on with it. Who didn’t lie awake replaying conversations. Who could have a hard day and actually leave it at the door. Who weren’t still processing Tuesday in the shower on Friday morning.
Meanwhile I was over here - books on the bedside table, podcast in the ears, journalling before breakfast - understanding everything about why I was the way I was. And still feeling it all so hard. Still overwhelmed. Still falling short of the version of myselfI could so clearly see.
I wasn’t unintelligent. I wasn’t unwilling. I was just - a lot.
A deep feeler. An overthinker. Someone who experiences life at a volume most people around me didn’t seem to share.
And that, quietly, made me feel incredibly lonely.Not friendless. Not lost. Just untranslatable. Like I was tuned to a frequency nobody else could quite hear.
What changed things wasn’t another book or another breakthrough. It was having somewhere to put it.A consistent space. Real people. A rhythm of showing up and being met, not fixed, not advised, just genuinely met.
Same as yoga, really. The practice doesn’t ask you to be good at it.It just asks you to show up. Life didn’t get quieter. I just stopped carrying it alone.
I still have hard days. Relationships still challenge me. I still feel everything - deeply, sometimes intensely. But there’s a fluency now. A way of moving through it that doesn’t leave me floored for days or living in my own head like it’s a bad neighbourhood.
That’s what I built THE PLACE for.
Not for people who are lost.
For people who are extraordinarily self-aware, who feel everything,who have done the work, and who are ready to stop carrying the weight of that alone.
The doors to join the next round of The Place are open now. We start May 1st. I'd love to see you there.e!
Huge love,
