The Braid Framework (TBF) FAQ
Is TBF therapy?
TBF isn’t therapy and doesn’t replace clinical care. While it strengthens emotional awareness and energetic alignment, it’s not diagnostic. It’s a relational coaching framework, focused on presence, rhythm, and right-relationship with your Self.
Is this for me if I already know myself well?
Knowing yourself isn’t always the same as moving in rhythm with yourself. TBF supports those who are self-aware but still caught in patterns of overfunctioning, perfectionism, or performing authenticity.
You might know your patterns, and still not feel free inside them.
TBF helps you align with what’s real right now. Not what used to work, or what’s expected of you.
What do you mean by “rhythm”?
Rhythm is your energetic signature, how you move, decide, relate, and respond.
TBF doesn’t give you a rhythm. It reveals the one you’ve been living and helps you discern whether it’s resonance or survival.
Can this help me with relationships?
Absolutely. TBF helps you feel your own rhythm and see how misalignment in relationships is often energetic. Not just personal. It shifts how you lead, love, and relate by helping you move from what’s true now, not what used to be.
What makes this different from other coaching frameworks?
Most frameworks center output or transformation. TBF centers rhythm. It doesn’t rush you. It relates to you. There’s no agenda here but truth. No pressure to perform. Just your pace, your presence, and your permission to meet what’s real.
Change happens when safety, clarity, and choice align. Not when we try to control or force it.
TBF isn’t about becoming someone “better.” It’s about seeing who you are clearly enough to move with yourself, honestly, sustainably, and in rhythm with what’s real.
Is this only for women?
Nope. TBF isn’t gendered or identity-specific. It’s for anyone ready to live in rhythm with their truth. All of you—every facet—is welcome here.
Do I have to be “ready”?
No. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be willing.
Truth? When I started this work, I wasn’t ready either. But I was willing to be honest. Willing to listen. Willing to change.
If you’ve felt that push-pull, craving clarity but feeling disconnected, TBF meets you there.
There’s nothing to catch up to. No performance required.
Just presence and your permission to practice it.
Is TBF just for personal growth?
No. Not at all. TBF expands far beyond personal growth. It’s just as relevant for leadership, team dynamics, burnout, and culture repair. It brings congruence to how you live, lead, and relate.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, leadership challenges, creative drought, or culture misalignment. TBF helps you build congruence between how you feel, how you function, and how you relate to others.
What does “congruence” mean in TBF?
Congruence is the felt sense that who you are, how you show up, and what you do are in alignment. TBF helps you stop performing a life that’s not yours and start embodying one that is.
TBF doesn’t push you to become someone new. It helps you notice when you’re living from someone else’s script so you can come back to what’s actually yours.
Can this support my team or business?
Yes. TBF isn’t just personal. It’s professional. When people move from rhythm—not reaction—collaboration sharpens, burnout lessens, and performance becomes sustainable. It’s a rhythm-based model for relational clarity, regulated leadership, and aligned culture.
When people know how to move in rhythm with themselves, they relate to others with more nuance, capacity, and cohesion. From decision-making to communication, it helps businesses humanize productivity, reduce burnout, and foster cultures that are both grounded and growth-oriented.
