AS SEEN ON
You’ve been holding it all together.
But deep down, you wonder... who’s going to hold me?
On the outside, it looks like love. Like strength. Like maturity.
But inside beneath the exhaustion and the smile—lives a quiet ache you can’t explain. A loneliness you feel guilty for naming. A longing for more that feels wrong to even whisper—because you remind yourself you’ve been given “enough.”
And yet, the ache doesn’t leave.
And the longer you silence it, the more of yourself you lose.

You became the steady one. The responsible one. The “good daughter.”
You’ve always known how to take care of others. You step in. You smooth things over. You do what needs to be done.
Everyone’s grateful. They trust you. They depend on you. They praise your maturity and your strength.
But when the house goes quiet? Something else rises inside you.
Why am I so angry, when I’m supposed to be patient and grateful?.
Why am I so lonely, when I’m surrounded by family?
Why do I want more, when this should be enough?
You push those feelings down. You tell yourself you’re selfish.
You remind yourself that others have it worse.
But the ache doesn’t leave.
And you’re left wondering: what’s wrong with me? Why -no matter how much I give- does it never feel like enough?
"I came into mentorship struggling with depression and low self-esteem. Mentorship helped me love and understand myself better....
...I don’t dismiss myself as easily and finally feel like I can give space to the parts of me I once hated. Talking with someone on a daily basis made the biggest difference. It felt more personal and real, like I didn’t have to wait to be seen. If you’re unsure about starting, know that mentorship makes the process of healing feel safe and more human.”

You were never meant to carry it all.
When the adults around you couldn’t hold the weight, somehow it landed on your shoulders.
When emotions ran high, you steadied the room.
When conflict broke out, you made peace.
When someone hurt, you listened, fixed, held.
At first, it felt natural. Maybe even important.
But slowly, you disappeared into it.
You forgot how to hear your own heart.
You stopped believing your needs mattered.
You forgot what it felt like to belong without proving yourself.
And piece by piece, you started to vanish.

Hi, I'm Shae
I know what it’s like to be the one everyone leans on. I became the emotional center of my family—the fixer, the peacemaker, the one who carried the weight.
I didn’t realize until much later that I had lost touch with my own voice, my own needs, even my sense of self.
Mentorship helped me see how deeply those patterns shaped me. Through compassion for myself, I found compassion for my family too—not by excusing their weaknesses, but by recognizing their limitations.
Now, I walk with women who are done shrinking, done performing, done apologizing for existing—and ready to live free, grounded, and whole.

AS SEEN ON
Daily presence. Honest guidance. Space to be seen.
This isn’t therapy. It isn’t coaching. It’s not just another place to vent and walk away unchanged.
It’s daily accompaniment—helping you notice what you’ve never noticed before, and practice living differently in real time.
Here’s how it works:
1. You share as life is happening.
After a phone call with your mom. In the middle of a guilt spiral. When you feel yourself disappearing again. You send me a voice message.
2. I respond every day.
With clarity. With compassion. With the questions that open your eyes and the encouragement that steadies your heart.
3. You begin to live differently.
Little by little, you stop erasing yourself. You start showing up with freedom. You discover your own voice, your own needs, your own strength.
“The daily voice messages were so helpful—...
... I could talk through things on my own time, in my own space, even if that just meant sitting in bed hugging a pillow. It felt safe because I got to set the terms for when and how I processed things.”

WHY WE CALL IT
THIRD WAY MENTORSHIP
Most daughters raised in family dysfunction feel trapped between two extremes:
Cut off completely.
Or keep the peace no matter the cost.
Neither is freedom. Neither is love.
The Third Way is something different: learning how to love without losing yourself.
It’s not therapy. It’s not coaching. It’s daily accompaniment that helps you step out of the “good daughter” role, discover who you are, and begin to live with freedom, clarity, and honest connection.
This is love with freedom.
This is presence without disappearing.
This is the third way.
You dont have to keep disappearing
You’ve carried the weight of everyone else’s emotions for too long.
You’ve questioned your worth until you can’t hear your own voice.
But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
A year from now, you could be living free, grounded, and seen—or still wondering why you never feel like enough.
The only difference is whether you take this step.
Mentorship is simple. Month-to-month. No contracts. No traps. Just daily accompaniment for the woman you’re becoming.
There’s no risk in scheduling a call.
The real risk is in letting things stay the same.
“When I first started mentorship, all I could do was cry...
...I was completely overwhelmed and felt totally helpless. Now, I feel like a completely different person—healthier, more grounded, and deeply grateful. It’s truly changed my life.”

Frquently Asked Questions
Is this therapy or coaching?
No. Mentorship is different. It’s not sitting in an office once a week, and it’s not motivational pep talks. It’s consistent, daily direction you can apply right where life happens.
What does “daily accompaniment” actually mean?
It means you don’t have to bottle things up until your next session. You can share after you shut down, when you’re frustrated, or when you’re stuck in the same old pattern. I respond every day with perspective and direction.
What if I don’t know how to talk about my feelings?
You don’t need polished words. You don’t even need to know what you’re feeling. That’s what mentorship is for—helping you name it, work through it, and practice new responses until they stick.
What if I’ve already tried other things and nothing has changed?
That’s exactly why mentorship exists. It’s not about occasional conversations that fade. It’s daily momentum—like training reps—that actually shifts the pattern.
How much does mentorship cost?
It’s month-to-month. No contracts, no traps. You decide how long you stay in. Think of it like training: you get out of it what you put in. The details are simple, and we’ll talk them through on your consultation call.
Not ready for mentorship yet?
Start small. But start.
If you’re not ready for mentorship yet, that’s okay. But don’t disappear. Stay connected. Take the first small, sacred step.
I share honest reflections and soul-grounded resources for women carrying family wounds but longing to live free.
You don’t have to do this alone.
