Woman you are more powerful than you've been lead

Woman you are more powerful than you've been lead to believe.
You are powerful beyond your wildest dreams. The tricky part is knowing what those dreams actually are and honoring and accepting them as yours. The disconnect between our
conscious (what I think I want, what society tells me is valuable)
and subconscious (what I truly want but often refuse to admit)
desires is when we feel like we are failing. For centuries women's values, strengths, powers, have been kept in the dark by a patriarchy that fears a women in her full expression.
The feminine has survived in hiding, in fear, in denial, and in shame, and many of us have assumed a distrust of the feminine, learned how to hone our inner masculine and do things like a dude to reclaim a semblance of respect. Some of us are really good at it. We succeed at incredible things. Eventually we all feel shattered, knowing that something is not right.
This is not who we are meant to be.
Not who we are at the core.
We are living way out of balance with the natural flow of life.
And life is or becomes a struggle. The time for the rise of the feminine has come.
Do you feel it? The true source of creation, the essence that sustains life on this planet, without which none of this would exist or survive.
She, the creatrix, the oracle, the priestess, the goddess, the witch, the chaos, the cunt. Let me teach you how to re-learn, re-member, re-claim your feminine powers, your flow.
So that you too can feel and know that you are powerful beyond your wildest dreams. Eos- my new 16 week group coaching program for powerful women starts September 21.
See the link in my bio for all the details. 🔥✨🦋💙,

You are allowed to change, Evolve, Pivot, Remember

You are allowed to change,
Evolve,
Pivot,
Remember,
And reinvent yourself.
You don't always, scratch that, you never have to do what's expected of you.
You only need to do what's true for you. You can choose to do what's expected of you.
You can choose to do anything. You always have a choice. We make our choices based off our priorities.
When it feels like we don't have choice, it's only because we have deemed something (family, money, being liked) as a priority over ourselves.
Sometimes that's beneficial, and makes total sense to do,
And sometimes that choice sucks the living soul out of us. (Like when we do it for the sake of being liked...which let's be honest...happens all the fucking time!) And sometimes we feel that intensely
And sometimes we just tune it out
And pretend we don't hear the whispers (screams) from our body that we are not living our truth But we feel the repercussions,
in our chronic stress,
our anxiety,
our lack of confidence
and self sabotaging behavior It's not your fault. You are not broken. We were never taught to listen because society as we know it fears a women in her true, sovereign power. I'm looking for women who are ready to change,
to tune in,
to listen to,
and to learn about their body and how it can guide every moment of their life I'm looking for women who are ready to change the world,
Evolve,
Reclaim,
Remember themselves. Applications are open for Eos
a 16 week group training program for powerful women.

Embrace imperfection You are human You are unique

Embrace imperfection
You are human
You are unique
You are perfect
as the imperfect you
Period
There is no other way
Release your grip on who you think you should be
And just be
Who you are
Is perfection
Is divine
without even having to try
😳🥴🤔🥺😭🧐🤪🥳🥰🥰🥰 What we think of ourselves is all that matters
What we think of ourselves IS what the world thinks of us
Our energy is a magnet
What we put out
We attract back
(What thoughts do you put out about yourself?)
No matter what is said or thought about us
We only hear what we believe is true
(What do you believe is true about yourself?) Food for thought I have a new self love course coming out for the sisters!
I CANT WAIT to share it with you!!!!!!!!!! Love and more love,
Seychelle 🤍

The faster we move through life, the less we will

The faster we move through life, the less we will receive.
This is your friendly reminder to slow the F down.
You are a human Being, not a human Doing. We live in a society that WAY undervalues the benefits of rest. Like truly listening to your body and 100% hitting the pause button, not just when you want to or when you have the time or when it's on your training program, or when you get your (never ending) to-do list finished,
but when your body needs it and for as long as it does.
For your health, body, mind, and soul You have my permission.
AND You don't need anyone's approval but your own. I was going to go for a walk or a run or a surf or DO something,
But nah, the sand told me to lie down, and I listened, and it was glorious. I now have sand in so far up in places it'll be there for a while, 😜but it, this, delicious nothingness, was SO WORTH IT. I Love you,

One week I want to be here, and the next week I do

One week I want to be here, and the next week I don't.
I took a 2 month hiatus from social media this spring and I've been struggling to come back fully ever since. There's moments where I love showing up, connecting, inspiring, sharing stories, teaching, guiding, and receiving all of those things in return.
And then moments (lots of moments) where I'm not sure I would be here if I wasn't trying to run a business. 😔 And then there's also SHE, that voice inside me that keeps reminding me that teaching and using my voice is my calling and I'm meant to be here. Ironically one of the things that bothers me the most about Instagram (I gave up Facebook a year ago, otherwise I'd say "social media" in general) is that sometimes it all feels like one big fucking advertisement. I try to post equally as much authentic shares not targeted or trying to attract client as I do posts that are, but I'm not sure I want to use this space for that type of connection. I know that one thing we are all searching for is connection, belonging, a tribe. One thing social media does is give us an outlet for such yearning when having one in real life doesn't feel possible. (ahem, covid, or just fear, shame, laziness in putting in the effort for a real life connection.) It broadens our networks and connects us to people and ideas we wouldn't normally get to experience or see, from all over the world, and yet, I feel it hurts us in this way too. It's not really real. So many are living their lives inside, behind, in comparison with, and in an attempt to impress, or persuade within these little squares,
And all the while forgoing and lacking in actual real life connection, the healing kind. I know there are those of you who, like me, are ready to throw in the towel on social media, yet know that's not quite the answer. I'm not sure the solution. In the meantime, I will be hosting more in real life retreats and women's circles and showing up in this space only when and as I feel inspired to do so. (Which means posts may be random as my life has many different aspects and I want to share them all.) Caption limit: DM me for upcoming in real life connection opportunities

The more we can be in JOY the faster the darkness

The more we can be in JOY the faster the darkness is dispelled - Dr. Christiane Northrup Me in a moment of #purejoy!
Ladies: dancing/ non linear movement is amazing for moving through what you are feeling.
This was not filmed with the intention of sharing,(publicly) but it seems fitting for today's post. I fucking love this women! (Dr Northrup) If you're a women and you don't know her, visit her website, read her books, she's the best! I would tag her IG account except it's been permanently deleted twice now due to the massive censorship of anyone speaking against the public "health" agenda. Now, I'm not out to start a fight this morning, however if you are, like me, not in belief that jabs 💉🧬 are the answer and you have questions about wtf is going on, why everyone is acting out of fear, and what the holistic doctors are saying, I've just shared a great youtube video to my story with Drs Northrup, Tenpenny, and Malthouse in a Q&A panel. They answered some of the questions I've recently had about how women's health is being effected (I personally have had and know others who have had unexplained bleeding, hemorrhaging, or miscarriage this year)
They answered many other questions not related to women's health and give lots of great resources to follow up as well. It's funny at times, (they legit call us zombies) dark at others, and I don't agree with 100% of what they say, (mostly because I refuse to believe in the doom and gloom) but in the end it's a light hearted and positive message. I've been keeping so quiet about how I really feel about everything that is happening in the world. I don't pretend to know every or any thing. I don't think that there is any one person or agenda at play here, so much to me still doesn't make sense, but I DO know that what's being done and mandated in the name of public "health" is absolutely ludicrous. Again, please don't spew all over my post. I'm not out to start a fight. I am just passing on a useful resource to those of you who ARE interested in learning a bit more. Love, gratitude, and joy,

You can take your quest for weight loss and shove

You can take your quest for weight loss and shove it up the patriarchy's ass! Fuck weight loss. I want to help women shed layers of self doubt. I'm so done with listening to the way women tear themselves apart. (regardless of shape or size) I can't stand it any longer. You were meant for so much more than the walls of self hatred you keep yourself contained within. You are not too much
You are not too big
or too LOUD
or too tall
or too wild or wacky or weird
You are not too wise
or too powerful
Or too soft
Or too heavy
You don't bleed too much or dream too big
And you are definitely not too emotional. Those are your fucking super powers. You are just enough. The perfect blend. This pattern of dimming our light so that we don't upset others has to end. When we behave, conform, people please, choose, and act in ways that we think others will approve of, yet are not in alignment with our true nature, we feel incomplete, let down, like we are not enough, over and over again. And we feel as if it our fault.
Like there's something wrong with us because we somehow don't "fit the mold" We could be the most "productive" "successful" "skinny" "fit" person and still feel miserably like we are not enough.
Or suffer chronic stress and did-ease from the constant pressure we put ourselves under to do so. And we will never feel whole until we act, choose, live, and love in a way that is 100% in alignment with what is right and true for us, seeking that same approval from within ourselves. We have doubted ourselves in the name of societal demands for far too long. It's time to take our power back. Imagine
what you could create,
who you would be,
how you would feel,
if you set yourself free from the walls of distrust you are living within. I'm done with settling for weight loss.
I'm helping women drop patterns of fear and self doubt. I'm setting them free. Who's with me? 💪🏻💙💫

THIS is my every morning. Some think I wake up wit

THIS is my every morning.
Some think I wake up with a vengeance, fire fully stoked, ride out on my board, paddle at the ready, prepared for war, And wonder why they don't have the same motivation, drive, or opportunity for success... 🙄 And that👆🏻is so far from the truth.
Even when I am in full-on "slay it" mode I wake up every morning and I am still
And I breathe
And I meditate
And I journal
And I process
And I move my body slowly
And I am grateful
And I give thanks and I give love
And I manifest my dreams
And I eat a bit fucking breakfast
And I check in online
And THEN I think about training 😳 Yes dreams take action
Being an athlete takes getting out there and pushing yourself to your limits day after day And dedication, commitment, passion, purpose, grace, self worth, self belief, self love, lots and lots of nourishment And those things, what it truly takes to feel motivated to put in the work each day, are cultivated OFF the water/field/gym/insert your chosen place of physical devotion. I'm calling in the women who want to know what it really takes to accomplish incredible things
Who want to discover what they are fully capable of and meant for in this world
Who know that there is SO MUCH MORE to training than following an interval program
And are ready to dig even deeper than they have ever before to find out Yeah, let's go there. I have 2 spaces opening up for 1 on 1 coaching
And I'm putting together a women's coaching group starting in September And I'm fully changing up the way we think about and approach coaching female athletes. Send me a dm and let's chat. Love and gratitude and sweat and passion,
Seychelle

#tb to 2018 @chattajack. #allsmiles!!! This is how

#tb to 2018 @chattajack. #allsmiles!!! This is how I want YOU to paddle this years 31 mile challenge! (or whatever ultra endurance challenge you have planned for next year.) I've put together a racer's retreat.
All inclusive 6 days and nights in a beautiful cabin on the TN River with yours truly, 4 X women's #Chattachamp. 3 x women's @seapaddlenyc champ and 3 x @sup11citytour women's champ. I've learned a thing or two about ultra endurance and what it truly takes to be successful. (Hint: it's so much more than just paddling and training!!!) Includes:
• All meals, + all the sports nutrition info, education and discussion for endurance paddling
• All technical and skills sessions on and off the water ( don't worry for those of you racing, this week will serve perfectly for your final peaking paddle sessions)
• Race and logistical support to set you up for success
+ all the #mindset, internal, mental, emotional, spiritual, you know, the deeper, juicier parts of WHY you paddle and HOW to use those parts of yourself to have the BEST race experience of your life!!!
+ yoga, recovery, massage, community, camaraderie, and good times! Retreat is not limited to CJ participants. I'm closing the application process next week.
The link is in my bio.
You can dm me any questions. Love and gratitude,

I wanted to make a post about my upcoming Chattaja

I wanted to make a post about my upcoming Chattajack retreat or the fact that I'm struggling to show up on social media these days, but instead I'm sharing what's true for me right now.
cause thats what on my mind and heart today.
I'm having a hard day.
Last night Oscar was in a dog fight. He's totally fine. And so are Will and my brother who broke it up, but in the moment, it was one of the scariest experiences.
Helpless while watching my pup who I love more than most humans in my life get attacked.
Everyone reacting out of fear.
I'm pretty shaken up.
(again, everyone is fine, the dogs are fine. Just super scary) My routines and responsibilities are helping keep my mind off of it. Deep breaths and body movements (which I could def use more of today) to help release tension.
Plus tomorrow is the 🌕 so I'll use mama moon to help release and forgive this experience. #thanksforlistening 💙🐶 #virtualhugsneeded
Love, seychelle

Enjoy another snip of the "highlight reel" and don

Enjoy another snip of the "highlight reel" and don't worry I promise to keep keepin it real as well. 😘
You get the good, the bad, the ups, the downs, and everything in between from my feed. Yes we travel, (during covid 😲🧐😉) we do fun things, live on the beach, and have a rad life.
We also have our share of upsets and I post about those too.
Because there's no point being here if you're not being real.
I'm still struggling with social media and the desire to keep showing up on this platform, So many people get stuck inside a world of perfectly crafted little boxes and wonder why theirs don't look as awesome.
Or wonder if they should post that one thing or not
Or if they should dim down and not be too much.
or exaggerate in order to be even more.
Or my favorite, can't stop thinking about how what you are experiencing in the moment will look once you capture it and put it inside a perfectly crafted little box and how you might perfectly craft that little box for others to see and how those others might react and think about you for doing so and so therefore never really be in the present moment...🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Ahhhhh. I don't have any answers. More of just a ramble for you today, but I did think of this one statement that's been helping me and I wanted to share. Don't do it because you can share it.
Share it because you did it, and it gives others permission to do the same. For whatever you need it, you have my permission. 💋 And I make no promises, but I'm doing my best to keep showing up. In the present moment, and in these perfectly crafted little boxes. #snorkel #bahamas #socialmedia #rant #instagram #beherenow

We took a quick trip to the Bahamas with my parent

We took a quick trip to the Bahamas with my parents this week. Didn't have internet or phones for 3 whole days! It was glorious! I want to go back to the days before WiFi and data. (More thoughts on this coming your way soon)
Here's a few photos. And I'm putting up a few video clips on my stories.
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend as well!
Love,

Baby making update!!:: I promised I'd keep you al

Baby making update!!::
I promised I'd keep you all in the loop. So here's what's happening.
I'm super happy to report that all my blood work has come back phenomenal.
All of the marker of vitamins, thyroid and reproductive hormones are all where they are supposed to be. I am especially happy about this, yet it only confirms what I knew inside me to be true already.
I am healthy and doing everything I need to for my body right now. Side note: I never ever had regular periods in my whole life. Before we started trying to get pregnant, I dove in to healing my female reproductive and hormone cycle. (A vital sign of health for women even when you are NOT trying to conceive!!! And something I am now super passionate about educating women on since we are not taught this essential info on our health)
As a result, we have no trouble conceiving and actually getting pregnant. However, they did discover that I have a not so rare chromosome abnormality that causes higher rates of miscarriage in women who carry it. 😢 Will is getting tested as well and if anything comes up on his end we will need to see a genetic counselor. At the moment we are not ready for that and are going to try again naturally one more time. It's really scary. And at the same time we ARE ready. My body is ready.
I've never been more in tune with myself in my life. I will let you know how it's goes. 🤞🏻🤟🏻🤞🏻 Another side note: and also as a result, I won't be doing much racing this year.
I'm focusing on coaching and retreats, especially healing spaces for women. My next retreat is Camp Chattajack. October 19-25 in Chattanooga. Get ready for the best race experience of your life. I'll teach you everything I know about ultra endurance racing and self love. 💪🏻🥰
(no, I'm not racing)
Will is going to be there as well as our chef for the week! Use the link in my bio for all the info and to fill out an application. Or simply reach out with questions about ANY of this (racing, retreats, babies, hormones, periods) in DMs. Love and gratitude,
Seychelle *

The reason I am so successful is because I refuse

The reason I am so successful is because I refuse to conform.
Just because someone has your best interest at heart, doesn't mean they know what's best for you. Just because it's what you're supposed to do, doesn't make it the best choice. Just because it's believed and accepted by most people, doesn't make it true. (or science or factual in any way. 😳) "Seychelle, why are you so angry?
You seemed to have it all figured out.
Life seems to work for you." Yes, it sure does. And I'm not angry, I'm passionate. I have the job, the man, the life, the glory, the memories, the body, the fun, the #bestlife! You know why? Because I've always done things my way,
taken radical responsibility for my self, my choices and my actions.
Why? because I believe in me. I don't believe in the government.
I don't believe in the church.
I don't believe in the education system.
I don't believe in the health care system.
I don't believe in doing what I'm told.
(Sorry mom. She would disapprove of this post)
She also disapproved of me dropping out of college to go sailing. A decision that shaped the rest of my life and the woman I am today.
I travelled the world, made good money during a recession, gained life skills, then become a pro athlete. (She also didn't approve of me quitting my job at the time to pursue that dream either.
Not because my mom doesn't love me unconditionally and have my very best interest at heart. She totally does!) See that's the point.
This post isn't about me and my mom, it's about making decisions based on what's best for you, through self knowledge and intuition, and NOT on what you are supposed to do, think you "should" do. In order to live to our highest potential we needn't conform to the demands of what is accepted or expected. If you want to rise above you're going to have to break some "rules" We must seek approval for our choices not from without, but from within. 💗 What choices are you making today simply to gain approval, that you otherwise wouldn't be making?.. 🤔🤥 Lmk in DMs. I'll be waiting 😘 *
