🧿WELCOME HOME, YOU GLORIOUS MESS 💫
A sanctuary for nervous systems that never fit the spiritual mold
You’ve survived 46 manifestation webinars where the only thing that manifested was their charge on your credit card. You’ve waded through enough Instagram quotes promising “good vibes only” to develop an actual allergy. You’ve sat through workshops where enlightenment came with a goddamn worksheet and a minimalist logo in beige. And the whole time, something in your chest kept whispering this isn’t it while everyone else was busy manifesting parking spaces. 💫
Your body knew. Before your mind caught up, before you could articulate why the spiritual industrial complex felt like wearing someone else’s skin... your nervous system was already filing complaints.
THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS (BUT NOT THE KIND WITH GLITTER AND UNICORNS)
This is the space where tarot cards drop F-bombs of wisdom that make you gasp. Where your shadows get invited to dance instead of being shoved in spiritual closets with Marie Kondo stickers and crypto locks. Where the cosmic joke finally makes sense (plot twist: YOU’RE the punchline, and it’s GLORIOUS).
Your blood has been waiting for words that feel like recognition instead of prescription. Your bones are tired of being told they need upgrading.
ENTER THE SANCTUARY THAT DOESN’T NEED TO FIX YOU
Because let’s face it, gorgeous... you were never broken. Just temporarily convinced by the world’s most elaborate marketing campaign that your messy, wild, contradictory parts needed a software update. Meanwhile your body has been running on original hardware this whole time, thank you very much, and it would like a word with whoever told you factory settings were a problem.
You are not a self-improvement project with a pulse. You’re consciousness moving through flesh, having the audacity to feel everything.
This isn’t the spiritual equivalent of Botox. This is the mirror that shows you your WHOLE face: wrinkles, weird expressions, and the undeniable aliveness behind your eyes that’s been there THE ENTIRE DAMN TIME.
I once tried to meditate for 30 days straight and ended up talking to a teapot... which, as it turned out, had better advice than my therapist. That’s when I realized: while you’ve been overthinking which leggings to wear to yoga class, your nervous system has been quietly running a surveillance operation on everyone in the room, cataloging threats from 2003, and simultaneously trying to digest lunch. Multitasking queen. Exhausted, but iconic.
Your body is not waiting for you to figure it out. It already knows. It’s been holding the map this whole time while you were Googling directions.
THE PERMISSION SLIP YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR (EXCEPT YOU NEVER NEEDED ONE)
Consider this your official notice from the Department of Biological Authenticity:
You’re allowed to curse while meditating. Your contradictions make perfect neurological sense. Your system is WILDLY calibrated for truth... which is why bullshit makes you physically uncomfortable and you thought something was wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. Your body has excellent taste.
(Your vagus nerve has entered the chat and would like everyone to calm down.)
The permission you’ve been seeking from gurus, guides, and the cosmos? It lives in your own chest. Always has. Your heart doesn’t need external approval to beat.
COME AS YOU ARE. STAY BECAUSE YOUR BODY RECOGNIZES HOME.
This place isn’t trying to sell you a better version of yourself in 5 easy payments. It’s handing you back the keys to the kingdom you’ve always owned but forgot where you left them. Check between the couch cushions of your nervous system, darling. Right there, under the anxiety you inherited from your grandmother and the people-pleasing protocol your mother installed. The keys are there.
Read. Feel. Remember. Let the words move through you like breath you didn’t know you were holding.
YOUR BODY ALREADY KNOWS WHETHER THIS IS HOME. YOUR MIND CAN CATCH UP LATER.
P.S. People who subscribe to Sage & Sass often report strange symptoms: uncontrollable bouts of honesty, sudden intolerance for spiritual bypassing, and realizations that arrive in the middle of meetings with accountants.
Side effects include: laughing at your own dramas, watching Mercury retrograde with popcorn instead of panic attacks, and developing physical allergies to books with titles that begin with “Manifest Your...”
I’m not saying you’ll experience a full nervous system recalibration, but you’ll definitely be laughing while it happens.
Your body has been waiting for this newsletter. Not your soul floating somewhere in the cosmos. Your BODY. The one reading this. The one that just took a slightly deeper breath.
That’s the sign. ✨🌙
