I’ve been thinking about our inner fire.
That spark inside of us that makes us feel fully alive.
I know what mine feels like when it’s burning strong.
I feel in flow. There’s ease. Fullness. Abundance.
It almost feels like I’m glowing from the inside out.
And dancing?
Dancing lights me ALL the way up.
But here’s the thing.
I don’t think our fire is supposed to burn at full blaze all the time.
I was sick last week, and while I’m feeling much better, I’m still recovering.
My fire right now?
It’s flickering.
My body still wants more rest. My energy isn't completely back. And I can feel the difference.
There have been other times when worry has dampened it.
Fear.
Uncertainty.
Overcommitting myself.
Wanting to be ten steps ahead of where I actually am.
Sometimes our fire is a steady blaze.
Sometimes it's wild and bright.
And sometimes we're working with a tiny little ember.
None of those are wrong.
The question is:
Are we paying attention?
Do we know what feeds our fire?
Do we notice what dampens it?
Do we know when to add fuel — and when what we actually need is rest?
That's what tending means to me.
Not keeping yourself fired up all the time.
It's learning to notice your own flame.
To feed it.
Protect it.
Make space for it.
And listen when it tells you what it needs.
That's what we're exploring at our next Brave Women: Tending the Inner Fire.
For two hours, you get to step out of everything else and come back to yourself.
We'll dance and move energy through the body.
We'll explore what feeds that inner spark.
And then we'll rest deeply with Yoga Nidra.
No driving anywhere.
No wondering what the hell you're going to wear.
You can literally show up in your pajamas.
Brave Women is two hours to tend to YOU.
And maybe you arrive with your fire blazing.
Maybe you're feeling a little blah.
Maybe you're somewhere in between.
Come exactly like that.
Your fire doesn’t need to be blazing. It just needs your attention.
And next Saturday, we’re making space to give it some.
