You Are Not a Burden

A Gathering for Adoptees Exploring Identity 

If you’ve tried therapy, books, support groups, spirituality, coaching and still feel like nothing actually changes for long…

 This gathering is for you. 

Not because you’re broken.
Not because you need fixing.
But because you’ve been trying to change identity from the surface and identity doesn’t live in your head. It lives in what your body remembers.

âś… Save Your Seat

You can know all the right things… and still feel like the old patterns win:

  • you minimize your needs
  • you over-function
  • you people-please
  • you numb out or stay busy
  • you abandon yourself to keep connection
  • you silently wonder if something is wrong with you
And the worst part?
 You’ve tried so much. 
So it starts to feel like maybe… you’re the problem.

You’re NOT.

Here’s what most adoptees have never been told:

Identity doesn’t change through insight alone.

Because identity isn’t only what you think.

Identity is what your body has been taught to expect.

Your body remembers what your mind can’t explain.
So if the belief is stored in the subconscious…
the solution has to include the body.

That’s the missing piece.
Take The First Step...

By the end of this gathering, you’ll discover:

✅ The missing piece that makes identity change finally “stick”
(and why most single modalities don’t reach it)

✅ How the belief “I’m a burden” is formed,
the patterns it quietly creates in your life and how to free yourself from that burden

âś… A safe way to begin exploring identity
without falling apart or getting overwhelmed

This isn’t a workshop where I teach you everything and you walk away full… but alone.
 This is a belief-shifting gathering designed to help you finally understand:
“Oh… THAT’S why nothing has landed.” 

And once you see it, your next step becomes obvious.

You Are Not a Burden

A 90-Minute Gathering for Adoptees Exploring Identity

This is for adoptees who have done a lot of “work on themselves”… and still feel stuck.
Who carry a quiet belief like “I’m too much” or “I’m a burden.”
Who keep showing up for everyone else while avoiding what they need.

FAQ

Let's Take The First Step Together

Hi, I’m Julie Brumley. 

I’m an adoptee, a counselor by training, and a coach who has spent years helping adoptees untangle identity—not as a concept, but as something that lives in the body, the story, and the beliefs we formed early.

For a long time, I tried everything too.
I learned so much… and still felt stuck.

The turning point for me was realizing:

I didn’t know how to have a relationship with my body.
And until I could learn that language, nothing I “knew” had anywhere to land.

That’s the heart behind this gathering.
