I had the most beautiful conversation with Sue Williams in this episode, and I'm still sitting with how much she moved me. 🌿 Sue is a holistic relaxation therapist and wellness business owner behind Driftwood Relaxation and The Waterfall Effect, and she brings with her decades of caring for others — from children in family daycare to adults finding their way back to themselves on the table in her therapy room. 💛

What struck me most was Sue's relationship with fear. Having survived a near-death experience and open-heart surgery 18 years ago, she speaks about fear not as something to overcome, but as something that was never really hers to carry in the first place. 🌊 That landed somewhere deep in me. She also shared something I'm still turning over — the idea that what I call 'triggers' might more gently be called 'glimmers of awareness.' I felt something soften in me the moment she said it. 🕊️

Sue's philosophy of The Waterfall Effect is one of the most tender and grounded ways I've heard healing described — the idea that I am at the top of that waterfall, and whatever I heal in myself flows outward, finds its way around every rock and obstacle, and nourishes everything and everyone I touch. 💧 It reminded me that caring for myself isn't selfish — it's the very source of what I have to give.

And the message she'd send back to her younger self? Simply: 'Love you. You're okay. You're not wrong.' 🤍 I don't think I've ever felt something so simply said land so completely.

I'm so grateful Sue said yes to sitting with me in this space. 🌸 May something in this conversation stay with you, open something up in you, or simply remind you that you are worth caring for too.
