You're in a conversation. Something bothers you. Actually, you're seething with anger. But you don't say anything.
You used to tell yourself it's
wisdom to stay silent. That you're being mature. That you're protecting the relationship from awkwardness or hurt.
Now you know the truth: That silence in those moments isn't always wisdom. Sometimes it's your self-protective pattern of avoidance and self-sacrifice dressed up as maturity.
And what happened when you kept avoiding and suffocating?
Things build. And build.
Until
one day it becomes too much and you erupt in ways you never intended. Or your body starts screaming what your voice won't say.
The anxiety. The high blood pressure. The physical symptoms that get worse the longer you stay silent.
One Pink Flamingo Club member said: "I suppress and silence. I recognize I can't continue doing it because the symptoms are becoming worse from doing so."
And that's when a new challenge emerges: You've done enough healing work to know when you're shutting down. You can name the moment it
happens.
But you don't know what to do in those moments.
What are you supposed to say or do when you feel the desire to shut down rising? How do you regulate yourself?
How do you operate from wisdom so you don't stuff things down or explode from emotions that burn down everything in their path?
How do you know when it honors everyone, including God, to speak up vs when it serves no one? How do you speak up? How do you stay present to the conversation without abandoning your truest self?
Knowing you're shutting down isn't the same as knowing how to stay open.
Inside the Pink Flamingo Club, we equip you and practice what to do in those exact moments:
How to regulate your emotions in real time.
How to relate to others without erasing yourself in the process.
How to discover the most God-honoring, self-honoring and neighbor-honoring thing to do when you feel yourself disappearing.
Not so you can control outcomes or activate protective mechanisms to "keep the peace". So you stay whole in your relationships. So you truly do as Jesus commanded: love God and love your neighbor AS yourself.
Join the free Oct 14 Taster. Experience what it
feels like to stay whole in your relationships instead of disappearing to keep the peace.
