A Knowing You Can't Un-Know
Perhaps a breakup, growing tension in a relationship, affair, family conflict, burnout, loss, or questions about where and how you belong has brought something to the surface that you can no longer ignore.
Or maybe there was no single moment that changed everything. Instead, a quiet knowing has been growing: something feels off. Restlessness, numbness, irritation, apathy, tears, or a sense that something is missing have been asking for your attention. Your body may have known something before you had words for it.
"If a woman ‘far from home’ surrenders all power, she will become first a fog, then a vapor and finally a wisp of her former wildish self."
The life you've built no longer feels congruent with who you are becoming.
You may recognize yourself here if…
- You feel guilty for wanting something more or different, even though your life looks good on paper and you've been deeply loved.
- You're grieving the parts of yourself you've silenced, set aside, or never felt fully free to become.
- You've begun to realize how often you've trusted someone else's certainty over your own—and are learning to reconnect with your own inner knowing.
- You feel a growing pull toward a place or landscape where your body feels at home and more of you comes alive.
- Something in you has awakened, and you can no longer return to ways of living that require you to abandon yourself.
- As you become more fully yourself, you're discovering that some people you love may struggle to understand, celebrate, or make room for who you're becoming.
