On My Own Terms
From Pressure to Presence: Reframing Growth on My Own Terms

Challenges are something I crave.
They stretch me.
They pull me into parts of myself I didn’t even know were there.
They’re like meeting someone new — full of mystery, insight, and the unexpected.
There’s a curiosity that comes alive in me when I'm asked to stretch.
A desire to understand, to go deeper, to unravel and reframe.
It’s not just about overcoming — it’s about evolving.
But I’ve also come face to face with something difficult and deeply personal:
This hunger to “do well,” to “be great,” to impress — it can become a trap.
What started as healthy motivation quickly became performance.
And performance became a mask.
The Lie of Mastery
Society often measures us by how good we are — not how whole we are.
I’ve felt the pressure to master something before I’ve even had time to be curious.
The desire to be exceptional, to avoid failure, to be seen as capable — it’s exhausting.
That pressure has given me a serious case of imposter syndrome.
And if I’m honest, it’s made me want to give up at times.
Not because I don’t love what I’m doing, but because I feel like I have to be someone else to do it.
But here’s the shift that changed everything for me:
Being “good” is not the point. Being present is.
Reframing the Journey
I had to reframe my learning — not as a race to mastery, but as an invitation to engage with myself differently.
Now, I ask:
- What part of me is showing up in this discomfort?
- How can I move through this with care instead of critique?
- What does it look like to bring my whole self — not just the polished parts — into this moment?
This change has helped me discover a more authentic way of being.
It’s helped me slow down, listen in, and connect from a place of truth instead of performance.
And that’s what I want to offer to others.
Move with Mysti: A New Season Begins
Starting in July, the Move with Mysti Membership is shifting into something even more intentional.
We're slowing down — on purpose.
We're creating space to move, feel, and reflect — together.
Here’s what’s new:
🧘🏽♀️ Wednesdays: Meditation & Movement Class (Live Weekly)
A blend of mindful movement and grounding meditation to reset your nervous system and realign with your body.
💗 One Sunday Each Month: The Intention Circle (NEW)
A live, heart-centered emotional support session — where we’ll gather in community, hold space for reflection, and explore themes like letting go, reclaiming worth, and finding balance. These sessions are deeply inspired by the community work I led in-person in Bangkok — and now they’re open to all members, no matter where you are in the world.
🎥 Full Library of On-Demand Classes
Revisit past movement & meditation sessions anytime you need a reset.
💡 Intention Sessions (Starting in July)
I’ll also be offering 1:1 Intention Sessions for those craving more personal support, clarity, or transformation. These are powerful 45-minute sessions designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect to what matters most.
Let This Be Your Turning Point
If you’ve been craving a more grounded, more real way to care for yourself —
If you’re tired of striving and ready to start becoming —
If you want to connect, move, feel, and grow in a space where you don’t have to be perfect —
I hope you’ll join us.
This is a space for wholeness. For honesty. For reclaiming your rhythm.
Let’s grow together — not for mastery, but for meaning.
Join the membership. Book a session. Or just reach out and say hello.
Because you don’t have to do it all.
But you do deserve to do it on your own terms.
— Mysti 🤍
