Women are in the midst of an amnesia epidemic. We’ve forgotten who we truly are and what we are capable of becoming.
Welcome to The Authenticity Files®, your online home for remembering, reclaiming, and returning to the most authentic version of yourself. The woman you’re reclaiming is the woman you were before the world taught you to abandon yourself.
If you’re a midlife woman who feels stuck, bracing, bone-deep exhaustion, tight, overwhelmed, disconnected, scattered, invisible, on the edge (barely hanging on)
then this space was created for you…
Do you ever look at your life: the calendar, the obligations, the constant doing-the-most for everyone else, and feel a strange, hollow grief? How about rage?
I’m Dusty Thompson, founder of With Dusty, LLC and host of The Authenticity Files® podcast. I’ve created this online space as your permission slip to remember:
🪷You are not broken.
🐦🔥You are not behind
🌀You are remembering.
🌳Welcome home
About me!
Hi friend. I’m Dusty Thompson and I am beyond grateful you are here. The late great poet, Mary Oliver famously asked, “Are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?” This publication and the central question underneath so much of my work is: What happens when a woman stops abandoning herself?
This is the culmination of over 20 years of holding space for transformation and healing as a Registered Nurse, Associate Clinical Counselor, 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, former owner of Tree House Yoga, LLC, and intuitive somatic energy practitioner.
And while credentials and street cred hold value and meaning for some, I know many of you are just longing for someone who speaks and teaches from the scars of her own healing journey. You don’t want a guru or an enlightened sage. You want a real one who walks the talk, knows the terrain, and isn’t afraid to let you see the messy middle.
That’s honestly what The Authenticity Files® is all about. For a while, I thought I was building a body of work. I’ve come to discover that I actually am the body of work. In honoring that, this work is an invitation to encounter, Dusty and the path I’ve journeyed, and what it looks like on the other side of self-abandonment. And through this invitation, you will eventually encounter you. Authentic and true.
I’m not here to perform, I am here to resonate. The age of performance is exhausting itself. My work is meant to lead us out of the old era and into the new paradigm for the collective. The new human. The golden age.
This new paradigm belongs to the women willing to become visible without abandoning themselves in exchange for that visibility.
My work bridges science, spirituality, somatic & movement practices, frequency & energy transmissions, and lived wisdom.
Through 1:1 guidance, group programs, transformational retreats, and The Authenticity Files® podcast and publication, I help women heal their nervous system, stop self-abandoning, rediscover trust in their intuition, and design lives that feel authentic, deeply nourishing, and free.
Coming Soon!
Tree House Curriculum™ is my signature coaching framework. A body of work devoted to the reclamation of self through eight sacred milestones of remembrance:
🌳 Returning | Rooting | Raging | Resting | Repairing | Remembering | Rising | Reclaiming🌳
I will be opening the doors to this transformational body of work soon.
As a subscriber, you will be the first to receive an invitation to schedule a free private, one-on-one conversation with me to gain clarity on where you are right now, and what is standing between you and the freedom and self-reclamation you desire.
I’ll leave you with this.
Authenticity is my superpower, and most women have been conditioned out of theirs.
They say no one is coming to save you. And while I 100% believe we are the saviours of our own lives, it helps to have an authentic guide along the way.
Because in a world of scammers, schemers, fakers, and takers, you’ve tapped into a real one here. Welcome to The Authenticity Files®! I’m so grateful you’re here.
