Blissful Heart Coaching

🇺🇸 This Independence Day, I’m thinking about a different kind of freedom.

The freedom to feel.

The freedom to be seen in your full emotional truth, not just the strong, put-together version.

The freedom to stop holding it all in just to make others comfortable.

If you've spent most of your life reading the room, being the emotional anchor, and quietly carrying the weight of everyone else’s feelings...

You might be living from a pattern I call the Silent Wisdom Keeper.

She’s the part of you that learned to stay quiet, intuitive, strong, but only by hiding your own needs.

🐴 Fallan, my most grounded horse, offers deep healing for women like you.
In the round pen, she models what it looks like to stay present with big emotion, without running, fixing, or shrinking.

This July 4th, maybe the freedom you’re craving isn’t out there.
Maybe it’s the permission to feel it all and still be loved.

You don’t have to keep carrying it all alone anymore.

My client sat in a chair next to the paddock, arms crossed, body tight.

“I’m not really emotional,” she said. “I don’t cry.”

I nodded and invited her to sit down. To breathe. No pressure.

Fallan was standing quietly across the round pen reading her energy.

As my client’s breath began to slow, Fallan started to walk over, slowly, softly, and stood right beside her.

No pushing. No demand. Just presence.

And then my client let out the tiniest exhale, her eyes filled with tears.

“I didn’t think I needed this,” she whispered. “But I do.”

🩵 That’s what safety can feel like: steady, quiet, and soul-deep.

💠 3 Signs You’ve Learned to Disconnect from Your Emotions:

1️⃣ You downplay your feelings, even to yourself.
2️⃣ You often say “I’m fine” when you’re not.
3️⃣ Big emotions feel scary, embarrassing, or unsafe to express.

This isn’t a personality flaw.

It’s a protection strategy.

In my coaching work, I help women create the kind of emotional safety they’ve never experienced, the kind that makes room for real feeling without fear or shame.

🐴 Fallan teaches this through presence.
She holds still. She listens. She waits.

And in her stillness, something inside you begins to soften.

🩵 What would it take for you to feel safe being real?

Your emotions don’t make you hard to love. They make you whole.

Fallan doesn’t shy away from sadness or anger.

She leans in with stillness, like she’s saying:
“You don’t have to pretend here.”

🩵 What would it be like to offer yourself that kind of presence?

Were you ever told you were “too sensitive?"

Or that crying made you weak, dramatic, or unlovable?

So many of us learned to hide our feelings to stay safe.

We kept smiling. We pushed through. We stayed strong.

But unexpressed emotions don’t just disappear. They live in the body.

In my work with women and with my horse Fallan, I’ve learned that the path to healing isn’t about forcing your emotions out.

It’s about creating enough safety to let them rise.

🐴 This week I’m sharing how Fallan’s quiet presence helps women soften their guard and finally feel what’s real.

If you're constantly overwhelmed by other people’s energy…
If your emotions shift depending on who’s in the room…
If you feel like a sponge for stress and sadness that isn’t even yours…

You might be caught in a pattern of energetic merging.

And there’s a reason that’s happening.

I created a free quiz to help you identify the specific people-pleasing pattern your nervous system has adopted, and discover which of my horses can help you begin to shift it.

One of the results is the Energetic Empath, the one who’s constantly scanning, supporting, and absorbing.

My intuitive horse partner, Fancy, offers gentle guidance for women like you who are ready to reclaim their energy and deepen their self-trust.

You don’t have to carry what was never yours.

A client stood silently in the round pen, shoulders tight, eyes brimming, like she was holding back a lifetime of grief.

I invited her to breathe, gently guiding her to ground into her body.

Then Fancy, one of the horses I partner with in my coaching work, looked up and walked over.

No fanfare. No pressure. Just quiet presence.

She stood behind the woman and breathed. That’s it.

After a few moments, the woman whispered, “It’s like she sees the part of me I’ve been hiding.”

And then she finally let herself cry.

Not because anyone tried to fix her.

But because this beautiful being stayed.

🩵 That’s what nervous system safety can feel like.

Have you ever had a moment like that?

You might be an empath…but that doesn’t mean your energy has to be on-call 24/7.

Here are 3 signs you’re absorbing emotions that aren’t yours:

1️⃣ You feel drained after even normal conversations.
2️⃣ You suddenly feel sad or anxious, but can’t trace where it’s coming from.
3️⃣ You have a hard time knowing what’s yours and what belongs to someone else.

This isn’t because you’re too sensitive.

It’s because your nervous system learned that merging was the safest way to stay connected.

Fancy, one of my horses, taught me a different way.

🐴 She’ll stand with someone in deep emotion, grounded, soft, steady, without absorbing a thing.

The way her energy stays with her…teaches my nervous system by example.

Just by being near her, I started to feel:

I don’t have to take it all on to be loving.

I can stay with myself and still offer presence.

🩵 What would it feel like to support someone without abandoning yourself?

You can support others without absorbing their pain.

Your empathy is a gift, but it’s not meant to come at the cost of your well-being.

I work with women who are deeply sensitive, women who’ve spent years merging with everyone else’s energy, often without realizing it.

One of the biggest truths we come back to is this:

Just because you feel it…doesn’t mean it’s yours to carry.

🩵 This is something my horse Fancy shows me every day.

Why walk the path alone when all this support is waiting for you.

Do you ever walk into a room feeling okay… and walk out carrying everyone else’s emotions?

The tension. The sadness. The anxiety.
Suddenly, it’s all sitting in your body.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

I call this invisible pattern Energetic Merging, and it’s something I help women untangle in my work as a coach with my equine partner.

One of my horses, Fancy, taught me something powerful about this.

She doesn’t carry other people’s pain.
She holds space without absorbing.

And that changed everything for me.

🎥 I share the full story, including what Fancy did in the round pen that day, in this short video:

🩵 If your empathy feels like it’s wearing you out instead of lifting others up…keep reading this week. There’s a different way.

You’re not imagining it, your body is tired from holding more than it was meant to.

But there’s a gentler way forward.

If you’ve spent years absorbing emotions, overextending yourself, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s comfort…that’s not just a habit.

It’s a pattern your nervous system learned in order to feel safe.

I created a free quiz to help you identify the specific pattern your people-pleasing has taken, and what to do about it.

🐴 You’ll meet one of four archetypes, each supported by one of my horses, with personalized guidance to help you reconnect with your voice, energy, and worth.

You don’t have to keep losing yourself to keep the peace.
