Explore a powerful, experiential approach that helps you understand why growth, opportunity, or positive change can feel overwhelming, and what actually allows expansion to feel sustainable rather than destabilizing.

Growth, opportunity, or positive change are often treated as things we should simply want more of and move toward without hesitation.

And yet when life begins to expand, we may feel anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or pulled to slow down instead of energized…

…which can be confusing when the change itself is something we truly want.

Rather than reflecting a lack of motivation or readiness, these responses often signal that the nervous system is asking whether it is safe enough to hold what is arriving.

When expansion moves faster than the body can integrate, the nervous system looks for more containment through safety, steady rhythm, and supportive relationship, not more effort or discipline.

In this free 1-hour masterclass, licensed psychotherapist and psychoanalytic candidate Marrissa Rhodes explores how capacity is built, how the body signals its limits, and what allows growth to arrive in a way that feels sustainable.

She will guide you through a short reflective experience designed to help you notice how you respond when something begins to expand in your life, and what allows that expansion to feel more supported.

You will come away with a clearer understanding of how your inner experience responds during periods of growth, and why overwhelm, loss of momentum, or retreat can be meaningful signals rather than signs that something has gone wrong. As this understanding deepens, growth begins to feel more grounded, paced, and sustainable, allowing expansion to unfold with more containment and stability.

In this hour-long free Masterclass, you will:

Understand how capacity shapes what growth feels like, and why wanting something does not automatically mean the body is ready to receive it
Experience a gentle, guided reflection that helps you notice how your body and emotions respond when life begins to expand
Recognize what creates enough safety and containment for growth to be received and held over time, instead of relying on more effort
Discover why pushing harder is not what creates lasting expansion, and what allows growth to arrive and stay

REGISTRATION IS OPEN

Join us for this focused hour of insight and guided reflection, where you will explore why growth, opportunity, and positive change can sometimes feel destabilizing, and what helps expansion arrive in a way that can actually be held and sustained.

You will understand the times when things start to go well but your energy drops, your anxiety rises, or you feel the urge to slow down or step back, along with why this happens and how to stay engaged with growth as it develops and opens new possibilities.

Meet Your Co-Host

Hi, I'm Petra, it's great to meet you...

After experiencing two burnouts in the corporate world and struggling with chronic pain due to overwhelming stress, I knew there had to be more to life than just suffering. I felt stuck, exhausted, and disconnected, barely making it through the day while desperately looking for a way to break free.

My search for answers led me to study psychology, mind-body medicine, holistic healing, and countless mind-body modalities, eventually leading to the creation of The Functional Freeze Formula. This groundbreaking approach helps individuals understand and heal from Functional Freeze.

Now, through The Jōrni, my book, and the Jōrni Podcast, I support women in transforming their relationship with stress and burnout. When the brain fog lifts and exhaustion fades, you can finally reconnect with your body, rediscover your energy, and start living the life you truly desire.

Healing is possible, and you do not have to do it alone.
