August’s theme inside The BALM is called Doggone It… People Like Me, and it's all about claiming your self-worth, your enoughness, and developing a deep sense of self-compassion, trust, and abundant self-love. We are putting a stake in the ground!

And we have a lot of good stuff to support that.

Mark your calendar with our August session dates. If you can’t make a session live, here’s the secret way to make it happen:

• Schedule in your calendar when you’ll do the replay

• Write down the date and time or put it in your phone

• Do it at that time (as if it’s a super-important meeting — which it is)

By following these steps, you’ll create a much higher chance of actually doing the sessions.

This post is your go-to hub for all the upcoming dates and Zoom links inside The BALM. After each live session, you’ll find the replay waiting for you right here in your membership portal - so you can revisit the magic anytime.

Who it’s for

This one’s for you if you’re tired of auditioning for your own life. If the inner critic has convinced you that you’re too much and not enough in the same breath. If you’re doing the work, achieving the things, and still can’t shake the feeling that your worth is something you have to keep earning.

Description

You Are Enough is a Conscious Breathwork journey built to loosen the grip of self-doubt, not talk you out of it (talking never worked anyway, or you wouldn’t be here). We use breath and sound to bring the old story, the one that says you’re not enough, up out of the body. Then we get to work laying down something truer in its place. Expect full-body release, a couple of cathartic releases, and some tender inner child work along the way. You’ll leave lighter, like you finally put down weight you were never meant to carry.

Common Outcomes:

➡️ Radical Self-Acceptance: trading self-judgment for compassion, no conditions attached

➡️ Releasing Old Stories: letting go of the narrative that says you’re broken or behind

➡️ Personal Power: reconnecting with what you’re actually capable of

➡️ Emotional Lightness: that physical feeling of setting something heavy down

➡️ Clarity and Alignment: a real, lasting peace with who you are

You hit the goal. Landed the client, finished the launch, got through the week you weren’t sure you’d get through. And within about ninety seconds you’re already looking for the thing that’s supposed to make it count: the dinner out, the new outfit, the bottle of something nice, because clapping for yourself in your own kitchen feels a little ridiculous.

August’s theme inside The BALM is called Doggone It, People Like Me.

(Yes, it’s a Stuart Smalley reference. If you were watching Saturday Night Live in the nineties, you likely already have the theme song in your head. If you were deprived of the joys of Saturday Night Live for some reason, go find a clip. Stuart hit the proverbial nail on the head when it comes to affirmations.)

This month, we’re heading into the difference between celebrating and rewarding, and why only one of those works.

Where celebration goes sideways

We’re built to celebrate. Something good happens and the arms fly up, the body bounces, the face lights up before you’ve even decided to smile. That part is automatic and it’s lovely.

What happens next is where it gets complicated. Most of us were taught that celebrating requires proof: a special dinner, a new pair of shoes, a bottle of wine that turns into two. Nothing wrong with any of that on its own. The trouble starts when the external reward is doing a job it was never built to do, and it quietly tips into more than you meant to spend, more than you meant to drink, an excess by the time you’re done.

Then instead of riding the high, you’re managing a guilt hangover. You got the thing you wanted and somehow ended up further from feeling good than when you started.

If that sounds familiar, here’s what’s going on underneath it: You’ve been trying to fill an internal need with an external supply, and it will never quite do the trick.

Doggone it, people like you

Internal celebration is the skill we want to build so that we’re amplifying our vibration and basking in the glow of expansion. It’s self-acknowledgment, plain and simple, and it’s the piece almost none of us were taught.

Most of us look outside ourselves for proof that we did something right. A boss’s nod, a client’s five-star review, a friend saying the thing we were hoping they’d notice.

Here’s the part that sounds backwards until you’ve lived it. The less you need that outside validation, the more of it shows up. You’ll still get it. You just won’t be trying to fill a hole on the inside with someone else’s acknowledgement. (Because trust me - that hole is vast and cavernous and no one except you can even begin to fill it up.)

Self-acknowledgment is not about being nicer to yourself as a consolation prize. It’s about developing the muscle to treat yourself with compassion, kindness, gentleness and unconditional love, no matter what.

The practice, if you want to try it

This is a simplified version of something I lead in retreats, so treat it as a starting point rather than the whole ceremony.

1. Write down five things you love about yourself. Not five things you do well for other people. Five things you love.

2. Add five real accomplishments to the list, no matter how small they feel from the inside.

3. Write down five compliments people have given you, the ones you probably brushed off in the moment.

4. Stand up, read the whole list out loud, and hold it to your heart.

5. Put on a song you love and read the list again while you move, dance, wiggle - whatever your body wants to do. This step is not optional. It’s where it lands in the body instead of staying a nice idea in your head.

Do it once and you’ll feel lighter. Do it as a practice and the people around you start to notice something’s different. when you love yourself from the inside out, you radiate, and your outer world transforms as a result

Inside The BALM in August

Last month we were in the Drag Queen Secret, learning to move between masculine structure and feminine flow instead of living stuck on one side of the pendulum.

August builds directly on that. Once you can receive, the natural next step is learning to acknowledge yourself for what you’re receiving and creating, instead of waiting for someone else to hand you the validation.

Inside The BALM this month, you’ll get the full Deep Celebration process live, not just the paper version. We’ll move it through the body in Rebellious Yoga, breathe in our enoughness, and anchor it through the group healing so it’s not just an idea you agreed with, it’s something your whole system has embodied.

I’m so looking forward to building new circuits for deep celebration with you.

With unapologetic love and doggone courage,

Christina

If you’re a BALM member, everything you need will be delivered to you - live and on replay - so you can move through August integrated, expanded, and calm.

If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, August is a wonderful month to join us.

The BALM is not about doing more. It’s about living better, with less stress and more alignment.

If you’re a BALM member, watch your inbox for Zoom links and replay access.

If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, I’d love to help you shift from stressed-out survival mode to being the calm in the chaos and thriving in the vibration of harmony.

Once you’ve completed the session, be gentle with yourself, get out in nature if possible, do some journaling if you like, and/or take a salt bath.

Then, just be curious about what has shifted and watch for what changed (either major or subtle) in how you show up and how life unfolds. Things can’t stay the same after doing a breathwork journey, so put on your observer cap and see what’s shifted.

Do this class when you want to:

• ground your energy to open up to the divine

• build balance and focus

• strengthen your connection to your intuition

• create a powerful connection between the heart and third eye

• trust yourself enough to take the leap

In this class, Condor is the guide - wings out, insisting that it’s time to open your heart to messages from Spirit. This class builds the kind of ground that actually makes receiving possible: the steady, rooted kind that lets you open up without white knuckling anything to stay standing. By the end, you’ll have built a real bridge between your heart and third eye - the sense that intuition, instinct, and guidance are all part of the same conversation. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to trust the leap, this class will build the ground under your feet first so you have something solid to leap from.

We played with the Drag Queen Secret: finding harmony between the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine. We warmed up together, then danced with the Divine Masculine (hunter energy, laser focus, structure, strength), then the Divine Feminine (gatherer energy, flow, grace, life force), and finished by dancing them as one unified energy, the way a ballerina and her partner move as a single expression in a pas de deux.

It wasn’t just a great workout. It was a full-body reminder that the masculine gives the feminine a container to fly higher and faster, and the feminine gives the masculine something worth building. You’ll come out of it feeling unified, energized, and deeply nourished.

Do this class when you want to:

• unify your masculine and feminine energy

• work with friction on the inside instead of having to deal with it in your outer world

• expand your capacity for happiness

• reprogram old limiting beliefs and patterns that no longer serve with ease

Today’s class showed up with a Clam card and a stuck sneeze (which Dr. Sue would call a third eye activation). We moved through Central Channel Breathing, expanding the belly while squeezing Mula Bandha at the same time - an expansion and a contraction - held together on purpose. It’s harder than it sounds, and that’s the point: we practiced normalizing friction instead of picking a side, so harmony didn’t have to wait for the friction to disappear first. If you’ve been bracing for the next thing, this Rebellious Yoga class is built to help you practice not bracing.

Do this class when you want to:

• take action! (especially if you feel stuck)

• get more in tune with your intuitive guidance

• activate your inner healer

• build strength in your body

Today's class showed up with an alligator card and a backyard full of birds losing their minds in a tree, which felt about right for a practice built around intuitive action. We moved through central channel breath, traced the toric field, and let the body find its own seagrass sway instead of following a set choreography. If you've been sitting on a decision, wondering whether it's time to move or time to release, this Rebellious Yoga class is built to get you out of your head and into the knowing that's already in your body.

Most energy healing puts you in the passenger seat. BEST is different. You’re an active participant the whole time, which means your whole system gets the message that you are a creator, not a bystander waiting to be fixed. This session works with the vibration of goodness and what it looks and feels like to stop arguing with it. If that lands somewhere in you, this is yours.

If you weren’t able to attend live, watch the replay asap to receive high-vibration healing that will get stuck energy moving, thereby improving your life in ways you could never have imagined.

This month’s theme is about harmonizing your masculine and feminine energy, the structure and the flow, the riverbank and the water. Most of us either over-structure a new practice until we rebel against it, or we let it stay so loose it never sticks. There's a bare minimum container that solves both. Full teaching is live now for BALM members.

• practice bringing your mind onto the self

• feel calm, peaceful, and empowered

This week's class arrived with the Snail oracle card, the one that asks you to slow down enough to notice if you're actually in tune with what you want. We moved through central channel breathwork, a few spinal twists that asked the solar plexus to soften instead of brace, and a slow seagrass motion through the spine that has nothing to do with flexibility and everything to do with attention. By the time we landed in stillness, the energy felt different. Quieter. More honest. This is a short class, but it does the work of a much longer one.

5 Primary Trauma Imprints

This one is for you if you’ve noticed that the same painful story keeps showing up in different costumes. The relationship that ends the same way. The room where you suddenly feel like you don’t belong. The yes you say when every cell in your body meant no. These aren’t personality flaws - they’re old imprints running on autopilot, and talking about them has only gotten you so far.

This Conscious Breathwork Journey goes into the body where the original wound actually lives. We’re doing “shadow surgery”: using breath to reach the places where childhood separation, rejection, and shame got lodged and never fully resolved. Not to relive them. To finally complete them, and make room for something that feels a lot more like you.

Common Outcomes:

➡️ Trauma Defragmentation: Identifying and releasing the specific core wounds that drive reactive behaviors.

➡️ Profound Catharsis: Shedding the “heavy coat” of inherited rejection, abandonment, and shame.

➡️ Restored Self-Worth: Reclaiming the personal power previously consumed by limiting beliefs.

➡️ Neural Repatterning: Replacing ancient pain-loops with a new, empowered subconscious narrative.

➡️ Radical Wholeness: Moving from a state of “fractured” survival into a unified sense of self-acceptance.

You’ve been getting things done your whole life.

The list, the plan, the push. The early morning, the late night, the follow-through. You’ve probably accomplished more by 9am than most people do in a full Tuesday, and you know it. (You also might be kind of exhausted by it, and you’re not entirely sure what to do about that.)

July’s theme inside The BALM is called The Drag Queen Secret. (More on the name in a moment. I promise it makes sense.)

It’s about something I didn’t learn until well into adulthood, even though it was running my life the entire time: the push and pull between your masculine and feminine energy, and what happens when you stop trying to live in just one of them.

About that name

When I was writing the chapter in Not Your Mama’s Self-Care Guide that this theme is pulled from, I went through a whole casting process for the right title. Corduroys with Tassels was a finalist. Lacey Blazers came close. (I’d just done Leather, Tutus and Topknots though, so I didn’t want it to seem like my entire teaching was from The Devil Wears Prada.)

What I landed on was The Drag Queen Secret, because a drag queen is the most visible embodiment I could think of of what it actually looks like to hold masculine and feminine energy at the same time. Not one or the other. Both. And what comes out of that combination is creativity, art, courage, and a kind of freedom that stops people in their tracks.

That’s what July is about.

The pendulum I didn’t know I was on

For most of my adult life, I lived almost exclusively in my masculine energy. Laser-focused, goal-oriented, structured, pushing through. I read Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus at some point and genuinely could not identify with the Venus chapters at all. I kept thinking: Women are like that???

Then I attended a retreat where I was introduced to the concept of feminine energy, and something in me went... oh.

For the next several months, I lived there. Full-time. My husband (bless his giant, patient heart) survived. Dinner was optional. Structure was a distant memory. I was marinating in creativity and flow and mystery, and the best word I have for that period is WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Which was wonderful. And also, not sustainable.

What I eventually figured out is that I’d been sitting so far to one side of a pendulum that when I discovered the other side, I went flying. And neither extreme was where I actually wanted to live.

What I wanted was a swing under the willow tree. Gentle. Both directions. Hair in the breeze. To be at choice.

What this actually looks like in practice

Masculine Energy:

• form

• structured

• laser focused

• goal-oriented

• accomplishing

• seen

• powerful

• strong

Feminine Energy:

• flow

• free

• creative

• devoted

• nurturing

• unseen

• powerful

• strong

Two things to notice. First: both Masculine and Feminine Energies include powerful and strong. Neither energy is weak. Second: most high-achieving women I know (and you might be one of them) have been living predominantly in the left column for years, and their body knows it, even if they don’t.

Spending most of your days in masculine energy bathes your system in stress hormones. Your body is literally asking for the qualities in the feminine list. Not as a vacation. As a regular practice.

The ballet metaphor I can’t stop using

A male ballet dancer performing a solo is a masterclass in masculine energy. Strength, precision, feats of endurance, impressive. A ballerina’s solo is also strength, but expressed through grace and flexibility and a particular kind of mystique that makes you hold your breath.

Both soloists are extraordinary on their own.

But the pas de deux, the partnered duet, is what makes the audience gasp. With his support, she leaps higher, spins faster, gets suspended in time. Together they create something neither could produce alone.

That’s the metaphor I keep coming back to, for a person who’s learned to consciously move between both energies. You become the form and the flow. You stop needing to look outside yourself for the thing that feels missing, because you’re not missing anything.

Inside The BALM in July

We’ll be going deeper into all of this together: the masculine and feminine energy conversation, what it looks and feels like in your body, and how to start moving between both with a little more ease and a lot less whiplash.

The BALM is where this theme comes alive in community, in movement, and in your master system (the one that built the nervous system). All of you perceives the shift instead of just intellectualizing it. If you’ve been reading along as a free subscriber and you’ve ever wondered what it’s like on the inside, July is a beautiful month to find out.

The door’s open. We’d love to have you.

Harmony isn’t a mindset shift. It’s a somatic one.

That’s why we have:

Rebellious Yoga: to experience somatic harmony in all your cells

The Ugly Awkward Dance Party: because movement + music helps all the parts of you get it

Conscious Breathwork and healing sessions: to bring all of you on board in a coherent way

Soulful Time Management: to connect with both form and flow

Community, Coaching & Teachings: to align in as many ways as possible

One simple practice for July

This one comes straight from the chapter, and it’s easy to underestimate.

For seven days, notice where you receive and where you block.

Receiving is feminine energy in motion. And a lot of us who’ve been living in our masculine have quietly, completely without meaning to, developed a habit of deflecting. Someone says “I love your sweater” and we say “oh it’s old.” Someone offers to carry something, and we say “I’m fine.” Someone gives us a compliment in a meeting, and we immediately redirect it.

This week, just notice. And where you can, practice receiving fully. A simple “thank you” with nothing tacked onto the end of it. Let the door be held. Accept the help. Write down one thing you received each night before bed.

That’s the whole practice. It sounds small. It isn’t.

With unified love,

Christina
