Finding Peace in San Diego

Have you ever struggled to receive care when you're always the one giving? That uncomfortable feeling when someone showers you with kindness and you don't know how to accept it? My recent journey to San Diego cracked me wide open in unexpected ways, forcing me to confront my relationship with receiving.
When my retreat attendee-turned-friend Betsy invited me to her beachfront Del Mar home, I had no idea the profound lessons awaiting me. As she lavished me with extraordinary hospitality—trips to the San Diego Zoo, boating excursions, the aquarium, and introduced me to countless friends—I felt almost overwhelmed by her generosity. When I confessed this discomfort, her response hit me squarely in the heart: "You deserve it, and you deserve to be taken care of." Those simple words illuminated my lifelong struggle with receiving care as freely as I give it.
This revelation sparked a cascade of boundary realizations. During a transcendent sound bath experience with a vibrational therapist's extraordinary instruments—seven-foot gongs, crystal bowls, and Vogel crystals programmed to balance energy—I entered a state of profound relaxation that opened me to crucial insights. I recognized I needed to stop co-hosting retreats with people not matching my energy and commitment. I'd been overgiving—handling logistics, marketing, technology—compensating for what others weren't providing. Right there, I decided to establish clear facilitator rates and honor my energetic limitations.
Perhaps most challenging was confronting my 24/7 accessibility to clients. By giving out my personal phone number, I'd created unhealthy patterns where the mere sound of a text message triggered anxiety. This constant energetic drain was affecting my wellbeing, and I recognized I'd enabled dependent behavior in some clients. The journey of unwinding these patterns has just begun, alongside exploring potential relocations to Santa Fe or Bend, Oregon—places calling to my spirit.
What boundaries do you need to establish in your own life? How might valuing your energy transform your capacity to serve others authentically? I'd love to hear your thoughts—drop me a message or share your own boundary journey with our community.
