what to write about ⬇️

 ❤️ where you are in life, how you feel, what's been happening, what you hope for the future (an exercise in self-intimacy)
💗 how you envision 2026 unfolding in past tense (a manifestation exercise)
🧡 your current vision for yourself in 3,5, or 10 years (see how much of your goals change in a year)
💛 a hype up encouragement letter tailored to you (a balm for seasonal sadness)

I opted for option 1 ❤️ and surprised myself with 2 pages front and back!! I really enjoyed writing this by hand with a snowscape on the tv and a candle lit. 

Make this exercise your own and let me know which option you choose!

"We're making the rules and we can change the rules"

This one is an up close and personal look at how perfectionism shows up for me and how internal family systems work can be extremely helpful for healing the stories that feed into the need to be and do things perfectly.

Stories that say you can't make a mistake or, if you're like me, "it'll be my fault." 

Atim cautions me against looking for a simple 5 step plan to heal perfectionism and encourages a practice to process deep seated emotions that we're scared to feel. We also talk about societal and cultural pressure to be perfect. It's a juicy one!!

Tune in to get tips on dealing with perfectionism and to hear a personal and healing conversation about my own neuroses that stem from the urge to control and manage things a particular way 🙃

Do you identify as a perfectionist? Share your experience in the comments!

"There is only one of you in all of time"

Been feeling pulled to all meditations on authenticity and being true to you. 

Do you feel like you're showing up as the you-est you lately? I feel like I've grown distant from me. 

I miss her ❤️

🚨new episode alert 🚨

I'm baaaack. And I've missed chatting with you guys 🥺

I will say I am feeling way better after this "month of me" experience I gave myself in October. It was much needed. It didn't go exactly as planned (as it never does) but I feel like it did its job sufficiently 😌

Tune in to hear about my new more surrendered approach to life after reflecting on how I've been feeling for a lot of the year ✨

I'm also curious to hear how you've been feeling and what tools or rituals you've been leaning on in this season? Meditation, extra rest, walks? Let me know!
