Your Vision Is Too Big to “Play It Safe”
You didn’t come here to stay comfortable.
You didn’t come here to blend in, shrink down, or settle for a version of life that fits someone else’s mold.
But if you’re like most of the women I work with — intuitive, creative, soul-led — you’ve probably felt the pull between your real vision and the safety of staying small.
Here’s the truth:
Your vision is too big to play it safe.
And trying to make yourself and what you’re building fit in a box will only leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, and creatively stuck.
Playing It Safe Isn’t Actually Safe
Dimming your ideas to be palatable doesn’t create peace — it creates stagnation.
And let’s be honest: most of the time, “playing it safe” isn’t an intentional choice. It’s a nervous system response.
When your body associates visibility with rejection, risk with danger, or expansion with overwhelm…
…it makes sense that staying small feels easier.
But you weren’t built for ease. You were built for impact.
And your nervous system can be rewired to support the life you’re actually meant to lead.
What Happens When You Try to Stay “Acceptable”
You water down your message to avoid judgment
You undercharge or underperform to stay relatable
You keep spinning in self-doubt, even though you know you’re meant for more
This isn’t because you’re broken. It’s because your body is trying to protect you.
The good news? That nervous system response of protection can be validated and shifted to hold all that you really want.
You Need a Nervous System That Supports Your Vision
Big moves require inner safety.
Not confidence — safety.
When your nervous system feels regulated, you don’t have to hype yourself up or push through resistance. You move with clarity, courage, and power.
That’s where I come in.
As a holistic psychotherapist in California, I help women shift out of fear and into embodied clarity using somatic therapy, EMDR, and integrative healing tools.
In my work — both online and soon in person in Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel Valley, San Luis Obispo, and Big Sur — I help women shift out of fear and into the frequency of bold action.
We use tools like:
EMDR to clear the internal blocks keeping you stuck
Somatic therapy to rewire your relationship with safety, visibility, and voice
Safe and Sound Protocol to help repattern your nervous system for trust instead of threat
This Is Your Invitation to Go Bigger
You don’t need more affirmations.
You don’t need another course on confidence.
You need a regulated nervous system, a clear mind, and someone to mirror your truth back to you.
If your ideas feel “too big” and it makes you feel like you’re “too much” — they’re probably exactly right.
If your vision makes you nervous — that’s because it’s important.
Let’s stop pretending staying small is sustainable and make space for what you really came here to do.
