🌊 let's talk about emotions babyyy 🌊

🔔highly anticipated episode alert! 🔔

Do you struggle with looping thoughts? Rumination? Coming back to the same feeling over and over again?

It's possible you're not fully feeling your feelings and they're getting stuck in a loop in your mind because they haven't made their way through your body somatically 🫠

Our society puts so much emphasis on the mind, a lot of us forget about the value of our body's wisdom and leaning into what it's telling us.

This feeling practice has served me so much over the past couple of months and I hope it serves you too!! ✨

Do you have a practice for processing emotions? I'd love to hear what works for you and have this comment section be a resource for people 💕💕 drop em below ⬇️

✨ Autonomy vs. togetherness ✨

Even though the peak of the Virgo/pisces eclipse took place mid-March, we're set to be in the karmic lessons and feeling the energy of it for 6 months after! 

So no, it's not irrelevant to listen to episode 23 with our unofficial resident astrologer extraordinaire, @millymichelle 😌

Since I'm a Virgo rising, I think the description of what she read for me (the axis of the self vs. the other) could relate to the collective too! 💫

You tell me, have you been feeling this tension between alone time vs. wanting to be with others?? I'm very curious 🧐 drop your rising sign in the comments!

It was the best of times ✨🥹

Nearly 2 months ago, 5 women came together for the inaugural momentum magic group coaching program!

These amazing ladies showed up!

They shared openly (no small feat)
They took action towards their goals 
They reflected on limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns
They set boundaries
They hosted an irl event (self-love in bloom 💖)
They crafted a pitch deck for their app
They took strides to improve their sleep
They pivoted
They quit an unaligned job and moved into a whole new field
They prioritized their health 

They got honest with themselves about what's important to them and did it all in community!

It was an honor to lead them week after week. I'll always cherish my cohort 1 bbs 💖

Stay tuned! I just may host another group coaching experience later this year. Dm me if you wanna get in on that action 🫶🏾
