The Shape of Wellness

May 21/25 @— 6pm CST Join us. Let’s talk truth, trauma, and emotional sovereignty.


What happens when someone in power sees your potential, praises your growth, and opens emotional doors—just when you’re most vulnerable? For survivors of childhood trauma, especially those who were abused, dismissed, or unseen, this can feel like love. Safety. Even destiny.

But is it really guidance… or subtle manipulation?

In this live, I’m joining Allison Hazel to explore a real story of a young woman navigating admiration, attachment, and confusion in a professional setting. Her supervisor—a respected, spiritual authority—may be speaking life into her, but he’s also blurring boundaries.

We’ll explore how unhealed wounds awaken the Nymph and Heart archetypes, and how powerful figures can unconsciously slip into the shadow side of the Magician or King—crossing emotional lines under the illusion of support.

This conversation is for every woman who’s felt emotionally lit up by someone in power—and wondered if it was mentorship, manipulation, or both.
