After I had a great mother-daughter chat with my mama - thanks mom! 😘- I reflected on how forgiving ourselves is super important when giving ourselves compassion. Dr. Daniel Siegel (an author and pioneer in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment science) has a key quote on forgiveness: "Forgiveness is giving up all hope for a better past.” This quote emphasizes that forgiveness isn't about accepting past actions, but rather about letting go of the illusion that the past can be changed. It's about releasing the stickiness of past hurts and resentments to move forward. Well, Reader, I am so dang guilty of not forgiving myself. I mean I eventually do, but sometimes I hang on to _____ incident / feeling / obstacle…and gosh, I am not even sure why? So let’s all take this pledge, one hand over our heart, great belly breath… I forgive myself for my choices / actions / behaviors of my past AND I vow if I encounter that choice / action / behavior again I will channel my higher self and be better/ do better. ✊ Big love and high fives and you got this! cp❤️ *** Some links to book notes on the Heroic site if you want to read / download / audio them: Kristen Neff’s Self Compassion p.s see below! 🔥Free Zoom Prana Flow Movement Meditation + Soul-full Coaching on summer break 🌊 🧘♀️YouTube channel replays here!

Ancient intelligence vs. Artificial intelligence AND Spiritual downloads vs Digital downloads... Who wins in your life, Reader? I am freshly home from a solo trip to Wales for a hiking adventure and a spiritual pilgrimage to Malta to the oldest standing temple in the world, dedicated to the earth Mother. Now before you get worried about me writing about woo-woo - I want us all to take a collective breath and check in with that initial question I posed. Who is winning in your life - who is...
I don't know if you knew this...but I was a flight attendant flying for United Airlines on September 11, 2001. I was based in Boston. When you are new to flying, you get sent everywhere and don't have a set place you fly. You just get told the night before or morning or where you were lucky enough to fly to. Being in Boston, we had these transcontinental flights that flew direct to Los Angeles. I was dating my husband, Dave, at the time, and I would call and BEG them to put me on that flight...
Ever felt like you know what you want to do, but you get stuck in taking that next step on the path ahead? I sometimes need clarity, or to walk through a fear door, or to just make the choice. When I am feeling this way or thinking these ways, do a few different things. I go outside - usually with movement or water - preferably both! I move breathe and clear the obstacles from the physical ~ mental-emotional ~ and soul pathways that feel sticky! I take a breath and listen in and connect to my...
