Embracing the Lamb, Unleashing the Lion: My Journey to Self-Discovery and Love

"Lamby Lynn." that was the nickname my first boyfriend gave me. Back then, I was all about bending over backward for others, clueless about my wants, and placing more value on others' opinions than mine.

The journey brought a lot of pain, regret, and disappointment. The fiery energy within me had been squashed down by trauma, and for years, I found myself surrounded by people demonstrating the negative aspects of that fire. It took until my fifties to muster up a bit of backbone, and the struggle sometimes persists. The need to please runs deep.

Now, here I am in Hawaii at the enchanting Purya retreat center, fresh out of an intense breathwork session. It dawned on me—I am that Lamb, but I am also the Lion, and I am love. The Lion can be gentle and loving, and the Lamb can be strong. I've even experienced the power of adult Lambs (ok a sheep) firsthand (ever been headbutted by one during a medication attempt? I have, and it's a testament to their strength).

It's time to let go of the old story, that old nickname, Lamby Lynn, and step into the powerful goddess combo of Lamb, Lion, and Love!

What's your journey been like in discovering and embracing different facets of your inner strength and love and embracing your inner goddess? Share your experiences and celebrate the powerful combination of Lamb, Lion, and Love together! 🌟

PS: I think the word Aloha demonstrates this mixture of lion, lamb, and love perfectly. Living in harmony with others while maintaining love and respect for all.

You don't have to carry the world on your own anymore. This is your space to find quiet clarity.

I know what it feels like to hold it all together while secretly falling apart.

On the outside, life looks full. You are the professional, the mother with kids in college, the one who manages the household with a steady hand. You’ve created a life that looks "tidy" to the world, but inside, it feels like a beautiful, heavy mess.

I lived there for years. I know the internal pressure to appear content when you actually feel a quiet, nagging loneliness. I know the "mysterious symptoms"—the tight chest, the restless nights, and the way your body seems to be shouting what your voice won't say.

I felt like I was "too much" for some and "not enough" for others.

I spent a lifetime performing, thinking that if I just changed enough or did enough, I would finally be safe. I was the ultimate people-pleaser, losing my own light while trying to keep everyone else’s world bright. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit in, even in your own home, I see you.

The shift didn't come from a "to-do" list.

It came when I stopped trying to think my way out of the overwhelm and started breathing my way through it. I discovered that the way back to your heart isn't about fixing yourself—it’s about loving yourself through the mess.

Through breathwork and gentle somatic release, I found a quiet clarity I didn't think was possible for someone as sensitive as me. I learned to gently embrace the parts of my life that feel unfinished and imperfect.

Now, I guide women like you to set the weight down.

By simply learning to listen to what your body is trying to tell you, we work together to find that safe, peaceful energy you’ve been longing for. This isn't about more "mindwork" or trendy jargon; it’s about a human-to-human connection that helps you:

Actually hear your own voice again, underneath everyone else's expectations.
Release the heaviness of social media envy and the guilt of "not doing enough."
Stop the constant 'mental loop' so you can actually sleep at night.

You are worthy of care and belonging, exactly as you are—even on the days when things feel heavy. Let’s take a breath together and begin.
