New?
Welcome most cherished human! Brand new to me and here?
FIRST: Who this content is for & what benefit will you get?
You know your value and are ready to share your wisdom
You would like support in focus, accountability, & inspiration
AND you want the same for other women and want to connect and contribute to a sisterhood of sorts, that I am calling SAGES
I self identify as a wired for danger woman, a dog mom of twins, and I live a #roadculture life. I say that because I’m ready to let go of all the walking on eggshells to make everyone FEEL comfortable and am choosing to trust in your own strength and fortitude to listen with a discerning ear for what benefits you without making everything else, wrong . .
Below is an audio intro for a 3 minute check to see if you are a wired for danger human. You will just resonate or not and if you don’t? Keep moving down the page for more clarity on what I am hoping to build here!
The short version is, I came up with that term to describe the 2-3% of humans I have come to believe are born with a much more intense and quick to react nervous system to real and imminent danger via the FIGHT response.
Meaning, you run at it while everyone else runs away or freezes up.
I am a licensed therapist of 20+ years who is not like most of the healing profession in that I like crisis and chaos - and traditional healing techniques don’t resonate with me. Nor does it seem to be working for veterans, first responders, well most wired for danger adrenaline junkies!
So I started asking better questions, have developed a completely new theory on what works for ‘us’ but also learned that it will be best if I focus on women and girls.
Then, listening to a lot of biographies of the most interesting people, and women in particular - well, a theme emerged! We, W4D women like to push boundaries, reject convention, and cause problems for those who like safe and normal lives.
The podcast below, plus a link to the actual post itself is the best version of my intentions for us all so far. It feels like to me a culmination of a 40+ year journey seeking to understand, see if it resonates with you!
Music, Math, & a Better Explanation of Moving Forward!
Welcome most cherished humans! Today is a metaphor of sorts that came together for me in a way that really feels like we can all sort out where and what we want to be doing in the momentous period of time and events! That said, best example of pure coherence and beauty via symphony and orchestra is here:
My personal life has a great influence on my own wisdom I want to share and so, while I call it a #roadculture life, is is also one that did not do many traditional feminine experiences. I never had children, got married, or had to put part of my life on hold to be the support person to others.
My strengths and experiences are all the non-traditional roles of women, meaning the parts of our lives when we are not primary caregivers, parents, wives, but rather - just us.
I believe in being all of the above, I just also believe we don’t have to - choice not directives!
And, one of the biggest pivots in the roadculture world was a fake video log I made about the grid going down. It transformed me and everything I thought I knew! You can watch it below:
The biggest takeaway was the begninng of a character named STORM. So much so I have a whole universe around that coming soon!
This substack has evolved over the years from general information on what I learned in my own wired for danger journey, detours into ‘other’ stuff, a hard turn into survival and off grid content, while at its core?
I want US to live fabulous lives, support each other as women who are different in a way we love and others may not . . . while creating an analog record and wisdom filled stories for the danger girls who don’t understand themselves, like we didn’t either.
I don’t want to be sweet, gentle, and a ray of sunshine - which is what culture wants from most women. I do want to be my most authentic self and am still learning what that means without having to be mean, angry, or all chaos all the time (you know what I mean ladies:)
And here and in many of the videos, podcasts, and posts I want to support us all in our OWN wisdom to be shared, not focusing on just mine. But I want, must use the feminine language style filtered through my own wired for danger lens, it is just time.
Everyone is welcome, but my focus is on us. WE do great things out in the world. I want us to also do GREAT things within our own heart and spirit. I hope you will join me, would love to hear your story, and can’t wait to see where this all goes!
I am so glad if you made it this far! Have a wonderful day and hope to see you soon!
