Episode 26: When Numbing Becomes Our Normal: The Wild Ache That Calls Us Home
EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode, I take you into the rich terrain that I have been living inside for much of this past year. I speak about how our biology and nervous systems were not designed for the amount of input, data, and stimulation we are attempting to metabolize each day. This often leads many of us to choose behaviors that help numb the overwhelm.
It is a smart strategy, but it comes with a cost. Numbing pulls us out of our own lives. It creates distance in our relationships and leaves us with a quiet loneliness beneath our strength, alongside a deeper ache that keeps calling for our attention.
This episode is the origin story of the Revealing Wisdom Collective, a weekly sanctuary where we strengthen the nervous system, awaken the deeper self, and let buried wisdom rise.
Inside the Collective, we move through one Power Gateway at a time over the course of two full months, following a deliberate rhythm designed to soften the mind, loosen subconscious limiting beliefs, and integrate new truths into the body and bones. Doors for this membership offering opens January 13, 2026 - join anytime and catch up on through recorded sessions.
Inside the Episode:
• the loneliness that can stay hidden even when we are surrounded by people
• why numbing is an innocent biological response, not a personal failing
• the cost of living in a world that moves far faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle
• how subtle freeze states disconnect us from intuition, aliveness, and self trust
• the personal journey that required me to pause, slow down, and radically tend to my own system
• how the Revealing Wisdom Collective was born from that deep winter of listening
A look at the Six Power Gateways inside the Collective
Centering Power
The power that returns you to your inner axis, the quiet, unwavering ground beneath every emotion, every choice, every storm.
Relational Power
The ability to stay rooted in yourself while meeting another with presence, transparency, and clean energetic boundaries.
Self Acceptance Power
The liberating capacity to stop waging war against yourself and to meet your humanity with tenderness, truth, and self regard.
Wild Power
The sovereign, undomesticated intelligence that dissolves internalized hierarchy, obedience, and shame so your original vitality can rise.
Intuitive Power
The subtle inner channel where truth arrives before thought, the deep knowing that guides you through mystery, timing, and right action.
Erotic Power
The sacred life force that animates your creativity, desire, vitality, and full spectrum expression, not only sexual, but inherently alive.
If you have been longing for a place where you do not have to hold everything alone, where your tenderness and your power are both welcome, the Revealing Wisdom Collective was created for you.
