When The Body Says Stop

I spent most of last fall in a state of high pain and anxiety. Years of grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw finally caught up with me. Now, I’ll be the first to admit: I don’t like medical offices, and I definitely don’t like medical procedures.

One week ago, I had two molars extracted and a bone graft. I figured it would be no big deal—a couple of days of downtime, then back to my usual pace.

Boy, was I wrong.

I even ended up in the ER three days after surgery. Suddenly, simple tasks felt impossible. Taking a bath drained all my energy. Fixing something soft to eat felt like running a marathon.

For a solid week, I fought the need for rest every step of the way. As a Generator with an abundance of fire energy, I usually feel like I have to channel that fire into something, or I become anxious. I felt forced into a place of stillness that I didn't want.

I wanted to do readings. I wanted to paint. I wanted to work.

Today, I finally surrendered.

I took extended time off from my 9-5. I deactivated my Etsy readings and blocked off my booking calendar. I am finally choosing to stop fighting my body and start honoring its need for healing.

In all this stillness, my mind has been in overdrive. I’ve had time to think about the people who have shown up for me and, surprisingly, the ones who haven't. I’ve been reflecting on the whirlwind of 2025 and really sitting with those changes.

It brought up some hard truths: the last ten years of my life have been a constant series of massive shifts. And just like I was trying to do last week, I’ve spent a decade ignoring my need for healing. I kept plowing through life like I was fine.

I want to do readings, I want to mentor, I want to create, I want to work- but this time, I have to obey my mind, body, heart, and soul. I want to heal deeply so that I can be at my absolute strongest for myself and for my clients in 2026.

I’m so lucky to be part of an amazing circle of healers, mentors, and psychics who I also get to call friends. When I finally reached out, the response was immediate: “How can I help?” 

So, I am receiving. I am accepting energy healing and mentoring. I am healing.

Because I am who I am, I’m also using this quiet time to look deeply at my business. I’m making sure my services and my heart are in complete alignment. 

Instead of feeling like everything is falling apart, I actually feel a sense of hope—like everything is finally falling into place.

I’m so grateful for all of you. Thank you for your kindness, your support, and your understanding through all the twists and turns of my journey.

Whatever comes from this place of stillness, I feel in my heart it’s going to be amazing....and I can't wait to share it all with you.

If your body is speaking to you today, please listen. Honoring our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. ♥️

With so much love,

Wendy
