THE SACRED TAKE BACK, LOVE & GIFTS FROM THE ROAD

​​THE SACRED TAKE BACK,
​LOVE & GIFTS FROM THE ROAD

Coach Aodh’s Holiday Newsletter 

Dear Beloveds, 

It’s Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year. All creation starts in darkness. So what a perfect time to tell you this: You are the gift this holiday season. It’s you. You are the big, sacred, special, all lit up present that we give pause to give thanks for. It’s you.

As we enter the holidays, and the bridge to the New Year, you deserve to take a moment and honor yourself. Think about how far you’ve come. Think about the unbeatable odds you beat. Think about how you found yourself through the darkness and delivered yourself, more than once. And if you attribute this to God, then at least acknowledge your willingness to reach for and listen to God. You found a way back to the light, to shine with every smile, every tear, faced fear, and each moment you stood up for yourself. Every single new day. Every time you took the high road. None of it was easy. 

How you’ve grown. 

How you’ve risen. 

How you’re still here. 

I don’t care that it was messy. Of course it was. Our most miraculous moments are often our most raw, vulnerable and real. You did that, you kept going. You made it to the other side - every - single - ducking - day. I said ducking Mom, it’s safe to keep reading. 

Gratitude is a tricky thing. And with the amount of pain we’ve faced and adversity we’re in, forced gratitude can be just another thing that we feel like we must deliver and come up short. But your life is actually FOR you. Your life belongs to you. You deserve to feel magic, and awe, like a kid again! You deserve to feel the appreciation and wonderment for yourself that you so easily give others. So if you are going to be grateful for anything start with being grateful for yourself. Make these Holidays FOR you in whatever ways you can. This is Self-Love in action. For you are not a machine. You are not a peg on a wheel. You are a luminous light being incarnate on earth to know and love yourself. 

And a note for the mothers, empaths, sensitives, caretakers, activists, and all my sisters and brothers who are worried about the state of the world - 

The best thing you can do for our suffering loved ones, community and world is to love yourself, fill up your cup, & follow your instincts. 

“Aodh, What do you mean follow my instincts? What does that have to do with anything?” I mean like Wayne Dyer said, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” But often we treat ourselves as taskmasters. Then we condemn ourselves when we struggle to complete those never ending tasks. We may feel self judgement, shame, or worthlessness when we can’t keep up with our ideas, shoulds, ‘responsibilities’, plans, commitments, agendas and to do lists. 

You are more than what you ‘think’ you need to accomplish.  

You are not your thoughts or your conditioning. 

So go deeper. 

YOU ARE A DIVINE SOUL. 

YOU ARE THE GIFT. 

THIS IS YOUR LIFE AND YOU DESERVE TO BE WELL.

Listen to your feelings, your rage, your sadness, your anxiety, your physicality, your exhaustion. Do not suppress or override your true experience! Your instincts are guiding you to a life that is actually good for you. Your instincts - and intuitive guidance in the cells of these somatic expressions - are guiding you to a more illuminated path that will heal you, and thus as I always like to remind you, will heal others too. 

You have come a long way. 

You made it through so much. 

You don’t have to repeat

anything where you suffer. 

You know this. This is exactly what you would tell your best friend. But freedom and healing always starts with the Self. You can’t give what you won’t receive. 

How about making 2026 your turn?

Set those boundaries. Protect that peace. Some of you may even ferociously course correct your life! Choose the creativity that enlivens you. Cancel the commitments that drain you. Stop participating in what numbs you. Lean into the purpose that beckons you. Love the people who are good for you - and more than anything - BE YOURSELF. Nobody, not even AI, can better YOU dear. You are irreplicable, your heart, soul, and true-self. Your personality.  That's all you. Nobody can do what you do, baby. 

Don’t abandon yourself. 

We need you. 

YOU DUCKING NEED YOU.  

You are the gift this holiday season, revel in it, explore your unique colors, vibes, needs, quirks, joys, and choose yourself. Choose in this New Year the paths that are worthy of you, and uniquely made as Your True North Home. 

2026 Homeward Bound, 

 ❤️‍🔥 Aodh

The Sacred Take Back Video Series

​​This new video series is Holiday Life Support. It’s here to give you hugs, a few laughs, and encouragement to make the holidays feel like yours.  Solidarity. Me too. 

I was alone for many, many holidays. I worked numbly through many more. I know what that’s like. I know what it’s like to be the black sheep. I how much pain and loneliness can come up this season no matter how our circumstances ‘appear.’ I am a recovering people pleaser and it was a struggle to learn boundaries over the years. And to my roots, my fellow Empaths and Sensitives, it is NOT easy being a healer in a crowded room. You know exactly what I am talking about. It’s time for the SACRED TAKE BACK. We Rise. 

New for me, present as a touchy feely Empath , I am learning how to serve the collective this Christmas - without draining my cup. I’ve joined The Resistance. But how does someone like me even DO THAT!? Have you been aching to make change for humanity too, but on your terms?  Follow me on YouTube. This will be a HUGE THEME in 2026. 

If you can relate to any of this, even just one little part, this series for you. 🙏

Ps. This is a year of travel for me and I am learning how to work remotely. Making videos is a deep expression of my heart, the missing link to keep my small business afloat while in motion, AND, I am still getting used to the camera. Any support you can show my YouTube channel: liking, subscribing, passing this channel on, will be DEEPLY appreciated. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
