AHHHH what you and your belly really need right now...

Hiya Reader! Take a moment and relax your belly. Yes, your belly…that beautiful space from your ribs to your pubic bone. I know I just said some anatomy words but just go with me for a moment. My teacher is taking me on our “Sacred Belly Sadhana” this month. (*Sadhana = practice in Sanskrit /yoga language) It gives me pause to think about my core. Often when you think of core, you think of strength+stability more so than flexiblity+mobility and just plain relaxing your belly. Now take an...

Hi hi Reader - As some of you know, Heroic and the community there has been a part of my life for awhile now. I have been through their mastery, coaching, and workshop instructor trainings and really am grateful how all the wisdom has helped me change my life. Michael, the head coach of Heroic, recently hosted a beautiful (and thankfully short ~35 min!) webinar. Topic: Stop Starting, Start Finishing. It’s on taking ONE idea / project / task / whatever and designing a way to finish it… The...

Hi hi Reader! A toolbox is something you go to when you need something for a certain type of task or adventure! So what are somatic self regulation practices? If you take each of these definitions and put them together… Somatic: of the body Self-regulation = a way you balance your body / mind / spirit Practice = something you do often A somatic self-regulation practice would be something you do with your physical body in order to balance your body, mind, heart, soul. These practices are...

It’s the breath! Hi hi Reader! Throughout some of my day I am doing and being on autopilot - the “needs doing” parts of life. When I can stop and attend to my breath - even just for 1-2 cycles…it grounds me back into my physical body and also gives me clarity, calm, and focus. I would say most transitions with my boys are a bit hectic (with still the question of if Gordie has any shoes on when we leave the house😆). I have made a new practice of getting into my car and setting my hand on my...

Hi hi dear Reader Many greetings apply this week - happy new moon! Happy Summer Solstice! It’s that time again - and you’re like what do you mean??? 👀 About 1-2x/month, I get this feeling I’m either in the flow (woop woop 🎉) or I’m in a funk (something needs shifting)! When I’m in the flow my playtime is great, 1:1 time with my family members is rockin’, and important projects are in forward progress. If I am feeling funky (not disco funky - just OFF), my space feels cluttered, I am tired, I...

Hey hey Reader, I want to close this loop for you...Gordie my 9 year old picked ice skating as what he's learning this year. ⛸️ (I know you were curious!!) He does look adorable in his big soccer socks and t-shirt in shorts when we go. ❤️ So last week when I talked about YOU figuring out some cool things to do with your summer... Did you write a list? Did you put it up somewhere to see it...or did you go down a rabbit hole of non productive scrolling and reacting to other people? You got to...

I know you probably have a story like this one, Reader. For mine, let's time travel back to September 2017. I have just returned back to work after an amazingingly juicy 6 month maternity leave. All the feelings of the return to work phase are live and in full effect (and also the ones where as a working mom of two children you have a difficult time making all the human beans happy!) I was still excited and prepared to return to the stability of the work in a job that I loved. I enjoyed the...

Hi hiReader! This week in our house we are reflecting on “What do you want to learn this summer?” This was of course a question I proposed, followed by my boys groaning, “NOOOOOO schoolwork, Mom!”. But I flipped it for them - they were surprised - and I said school work is off limits for the learning in summer plan! My answers were YES! And Hmmm… *School teacher disclaimer - summer slide is real over here. I just can’t fight it. Thank you for helping me! And..My older son wants to learn how...

Hey hey Reader! Four weeks until summer break over here…I am not fist pumping because I am having a hard school semester 😆 BUT I am looking over my affirmations / wishes / to-do list… And trying to make sure all things are done before the kids are home for summer break. I had wanted to finish a couple of coaching courses and another healer course before June 11th. After checking in with what has been done and what’s LEFT to do, I am coming up short! I am frustrated. I didn’t get it all done....
