The Rooted Response 

This space is for the woman on the edge of her next level…the coach, healer, or leader who knows she’s meant for more…but her body, conditioning, and old identity haven’t caught up yet.

You’ve outgrown the version of you that hustled, over gave, performed strength, or disappeared when things got real. But you haven’t yet stepped into the leader you’re becoming …the one who leads from regulation, clarity, and sovereignty.

You feel the tension:
the freeze before visibility,
the fawn in client spaces,
the burnout cycles,
the self-abandonment patterns that keep you small.

Not because you lack discipline ,
but because your nervous system is still wired for survival, not expansion.

Here, we shift that.
Here, you learn to lead without collapsing.
To show up without performing.
To speak without shrinking.
To hold more without losing yourself.

This is the work of identity, nervous system capacity, and embodied leadership.

Welcome to The Rooted Response
where rising leaders come to become who they were always meant to be.

Embodied Safety. Sovereign Spirit. Rooted Leadership

The Rooted Response is a sanctuary for women who lead , the coaches, therapists, healers, teachers, mothers, and guides who have held the world together while slowly disconnecting from themselves.

It’s for the woman who learned to silence her intuition in order to survive…expectations, roles, conditioning…
and is now outgrowing the identity she once depended on.

Sasha’s own turning point came when she left her church, a place where she held multiple leadership roles.

The moment she stepped away, she wondered:
“If I’m not that leader anymore… who am I now?”
What she discovered was life-changing:

Releasing an old identity didn’t end her leadership.
It revealed her sovereignty.

Now she supports rising & seasoned leaders who are shedding the versions of themselves built from survival, service, and inherited beliefs …
women who guide transformation yet rarely receive it,
who hold others beautifully yet struggle to hold themselves.

They are not in the beginning of their healing.
They’re in the remembering: remembering the voice they quieted to be accepted, remembering the intuition they ignored to stay aligned with expectations, remembering the body they abandoned to stay strong, remembering the power they outsourced to roles, systems, and identities
that no longer reflect who they’re becoming.

The Rooted Response brings these women
back into their bodies, back into their boundaries,
back into their truth, capacity, and inner authority,
so they can lead, coach, create, parent, and serve
without self-abandonment as the cost.

This work isn’t about returning to old systems
or rejecting them out of rebellion.
It’s about reclaiming the sacred from within
so your leadership flows from who you are,
not who you were conditioned to be.

Because when a woman remembers herself when her body is regulated, her spirit is clear,
and her identity is no longer built on survival her leadership becomes a natural expression of her wholeness.

This is the new era of embodied leadership:
where safety replaces striving,
presence replaces performance,
trust replaces fear,
and sovereignty guides everything.

Vision

We envision a world where women lead from truth, not conditioning; from regulation, not performance; from sovereignty, not self-abandonment.

A world where their power is rooted, their presence is steady, and their leadership begins within.

Mission

Our mission is to guide rising & seasoned leaders through the shedding of roles, expectations, and survival patterns that no longer fit restoring nervous system safety, reconnecting them with their intuition, and anchoring them into sovereign, embodied leadership.

We help women reclaim the inner authority they once outsourced, and lead from who they actually are.

Values

We believe in Embodied Integrity.

Leadership must match the body.
We don’t teach what we haven’t lived.

We believe liberation is a nervous system experience.

Safety in the body is the foundation of clarity, intuition, and power.

We believe curiosity is sacred.

Questions reveal truth.
Certainty often maintains conditioning.

We believe growth must follow capacity.

Expansion without regulation collapses.
Your body sets the pace for sustainable leadership.

We believe in compassionate authority.

Power doesn’t require hardness — only groundedness, empathy, and clear boundaries.

We believe in integrated wholeness.

Somatic, emotional, and spiritual alignment creates true transformation.
Your body is not a barrier — it’s the doorway..

NON NEGOTIABLES MY LOVES

We hold that every human being carries inherent worth. Black, Brown, Hispanic, Indigenous, Asian, and White lives all matter but whiteness alone is not the measure of value or power. Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Nonbinary and gender-expansive people are whole. Every body, ability, and neurotype is sacred, and accessibility is a reflection of love, not charity. Faith must never be weaponized. American exceptionalism and Christian nationalism are distortions of both spirit and truth. Climate change is real, and care for the earth is a moral and spiritual duty. Love is love, and no institution has the authority to legislate it. Abortion is healthcare, and bodily autonomy is holy. No one is illegal on stolen land. We honor Indigenous sovereignty and the right of every person to exist and belong. Indifference in the face of oppression is complicity and our spirituality requires accountability, courage, and care.

Hey My Loves,

I’m Sasha Marie , a guide, a teacher, and a woman who walked through an identity unraveling that asked me to find my truth from the inside out.

For years, I led worship, led rooms, supported families, built programs, and anchored everyone else while quietly questioning the identities, expectations, and conditioning that shaped who I thought I had to be.

And when the roles fell away... the church leadership, the titles, the certainty , I hit a moment every woman leader eventually faces:

If I’m no longer performing the version of myself they taught me to be…
then who am I really?

What I discovered changed my life:

Leadership built on pressure collapses.
Leadership built on nervous system safety, identity clarity, and embodied truth does not.

The Rooted Response was born from that reclamation…the moment I stopped outsourcing my power to systems, roles, or expectations
and started listening to the truth emerging from within my own body.

Now, I guide women who are moving through their own unraveling…women who have outgrown the identities they built to survive, who are tired of performing strength, who feel the pull toward something deeper, clearer, and more sovereign.

Some are coaches or healers.
Some are mothers.
Some are leaders who didn’t choose leadership, life chose it for them.
All are becoming women their former environments could never hold.

I don’t teach leadership that performs.
I don’t teach leadership built on self-abandonment.

I teach leadership that is embodied leadership that rises from nervous system safety, truth that doesn’t shake, and a relationship with yourself that no longer requires you to disappear.

Because when a woman learns to lead from her body, her intuition, and her own inner authority…

that’s when she becomes steady.
That’s when she becomes powerful.
That’s when she becomes sovereign.

And that’s the work we do here , helping women come home to themselves, so everything they build rises from who they truly are.
