Mexico Beaches and the Gentle Art of Trusting Yourself
Feb 01, 2026There’s something about the beaches of Mexico that changes the way time moves.
I’ve been here for two weeks now, tucked into a sweet little pocket of life with friends from the RV community. Sunsets shared. Slow, reflective mornings. Long walks on the sand with Olivia beside me like she always knows exactly where we’re going… even when she truly doesn’t.
(For those of you who are new here, Olivia is my sweet chocolate lab and my adventure partner, the one above with the sandy nose ;)
She inevitably ends up in the water at some point. Or rolling wildly in the sand until she’s basically a walking sugar cookie. And if you’ve ever been on a mountain trail with her, you already know she’s absolutely not the one to follow. She’s either chasing a squirrel or bulldozing straight through the brush like she’s on a very important mission only she understands.
Honestly, my sweet girl feels like the perfect metaphor for this season of my life.
Staying Put Long Enough to Feel Grounded
Living on the road teaches you how to move with grace. 🚐
Staying somewhere for a while teaches you how to land.
And there’s something deeply nourishing about remaining in one place long enough for your nervous system to realize it doesn’t need to stay on alert. About letting routines form gently. About not packing up to move to the next overnight location.
Right now, that grounding looks like:
-
Supporting my clients from a place of spaciousness and presence
-
Letting my body soften into a rhythm that feels sustainable
-
Creating room around my work instead of filling every moment
This kind of stability doesn’t dim creativity. It actually gives it roots.
Microdosing and the Quiet Reveal of the Next Layer
I’m in the middle of a microdosing protocol right now, and it’s been quietly revealing something familiar.
Not in a dramatic way.
Not in a lightning-bolt breakthrough way.
More like a gentle, honest reiteration.
That’s exactly what microdosing does. It doesn’t rush you. It doesn’t force the healing. It simply shows you the next layer that’s ready to be met.
For me, that layer has been self-doubt.
And right alongside it… self-trust.
The subtle ways I still look outside myself for validation.
The places I almost trust my knowing… and then hesitate.
The tiny pauses where I second-guess my intuition instead of staying with it.
Microdosing feels like peeling back the layers of an onion. One honest layer at a time. No skipping ahead. No bypassing. Just meeting what’s there with more awareness and compassion than before.
Healing Doesn’t Need to Be Forced
What I love about this work, and about being in a place like this, is how little needs to be forced.
Clarity doesn’t arrive because I sit down and try to “figure it out.”
It comes while walking the beach.
While watching the birds drift through the sky… egrets, herons, hummingbirds, pigeons… all of them simply being exactly what they are.
While riding my bike through town to grab warm tortillas.
While going for a massage so my body can soften, reset, and feel nourished again.
Healing shows up in ordinary moments when we stop demanding that it look extraordinary.
Nourishment as a Devotional Practice
This season has been a reminder that nourishment isn’t indulgent. It’s foundational.
Tending to my body.
Listening to my energy.
Honoring my need for rest, pleasure, and simplicity.
These aren’t distractions from my work. They are what allow me to show up fully for my community and with integrity.
When my nervous system feels settled, I can hold space for other Souls with clarity and compassion. When my body feels nourished, my intuition speaks more clearly. When my life feels spacious, my work feels aligned.
A Lived Truth from the Road
If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, to trust yourself more deeply, or to stop searching for the next answer outside of you, you’re not behind. You’re actually in a beautiful pause to listen.
And when you give yourself space…
When you slow down enough to listen…
The layers reveal themselves in their own perfect timing.
You don’t have to chase your healing.
You don’t have to force clarity.
And you don’t have to abandon yourself to move forward.
Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is to stay in the soft, gentle moments.
