🌕 Full Snow Moon in Leo 🦁
Ignite Your Inner Fire 🔥

Tomorrow- February 1st, 2026- we welcome the Snow Moon ❄️
Historically , this moon earned its’ name from the heavy February snows — a time of endurance and quiet survival.
This year, resting in the bold, heart-centered sign of Leo ♌️ , it’s acting more like a cosmic spotlight on our most authentic selves.

For those of us who are used to holding space for others, we can get used to being the “invisible supporter” or the “peacekeeper”.
👉 This full moon is asking:
Who are you when you stop playing those roles?

✨Spiritual Significance for Our Journey

• The Lion’s Roar:
Leo rules the heart.
This moon is about emotional honesty.
If you’ve been dimming your light to make others comfortable, the Leo Snow Moon is here to change that.

• Imbolc Alignment:
This moon coincides with Imbolc- the midpoint between winter and spring (Northern Hemisphere).
It’s the perfect time to use some energy healing to clear out stagnant “winter” energy and seed the intentions you want to see bloom.

• Creative Renewal:
If your personal development or creative projects have felt “frozen” for a while, you can expect a sudden thaw.
Leo energy brings the courage to finally share your gifts with the world.

♥️ The Snow Moon reminds us:
Even when the world outside is cold and still, your inner fire cannot be extinguished.

~~~> Affirmations for
✨ Soulful Alignment & Sacred Flow ✨

It means to “go with the flow” or move with the current of your life, instead of trying to micromanage or control things.

It’s not about being passive; it’s being purposefully fluid or easygoing.

It’s the practice of:

• Trusting the Timing:
Believing that even when it seems like nothing is happening, something is being prepared for you (by the universe , higher consciousness, God, however you choose to refer to It).

• Releasing the “How”:
Focusing on your intention and letting the universe (or your higher self) handle the logistics.

• Listening Over Forcing:
Tuning into your intuition to see where the energy is actually moving, rather than trying to force progress through sheer willpower. It’s working With your energy- not Against it.

✨ Rewiring Presence:
Shifting Out of Autopilot

Move your body to rewire your brain 🧠

Exercise #2: The Scenic Route

Ever pulled into your driveway and realized you have zero memory of the last 5 minutes of the drive? (Or is that just me?🤦🏻‍♀️)

That’s your brain’s “efficiency mode” (the basal ganglia) taking over.
It’s great for saving energy, but it’s the opposite of being present.
When we travel the same paths every single day, our brains essentially take a nap - even while driving (and I know I don’t have to list the problems with that!).

Today, we’re going to wake things up!

The Invitation:

The next time you head to the grocery store (or somewhere you go often), or even just walk the dog, take a different turn.
It doesn’t have to be a long detour— just one street you’ve never been down, or a different path through the park.

What’s Happening Inside?

When you navigate a new environment, you stimulate the Hippocampus (the part of your brain responsible for memory and spatial mapping).
By choosing a new route, you’re forcing your brain to create a brand-new map which creates a burst of neural activity.

The Somatic Shift:

Practically speaking, taking a new route is a powerful way to practice Flexible Safety.

When we’re stuck in a survival state or high stress, we crave the “same” because it feels safe.
But staying in the “same” can also keep us stuck in old emotional ruts.
By choosing a new path in a low-stakes way (like driving to the store), you’re teaching your nervous system that Novelty Is Safe.
When things/places are new, I find myself noticing house colours, shapes of the trees…

👉 Give it a try!
Did you notice anything on your new route that you haven’t seen/noticed before?

~~> Affirmations to support
✨Energetic Sovereignty✨

In short- Energetic Sovereignty is the spiritual version of, “my house, my rules”.

It’s the practice of reclaiming full ownership of your own energy field.

It’s about standing in your power - grounded and real - without needing to ‘shield’ out of fear, but rather ‘shining’ out of self-respect.

👑 Realize that:

You are not a dumping ground for the world’s heavy emotions.

You have the right to choose what you let in and what you keep out.

Feeling frustrated, irritable or trapped?
Sometimes anxiety isn’t fear; it’s mobilized energy that has nowhere to go. It’s the biological urge to “fight back” against stress, trapped in your muscles.
Instead of letting that tension sit in your shoulders and jaw, let your body complete the movement safely.

👉Try the Wall Push

• How to do it:
Stand facing a wall.
Place your palms flat against it and push with all your strength for 10 to 15 seconds, then SLOWLY release.

• What it does:
Stimulates the “fight” response in a controlled environment.

• How it helps:
It releases the pent-up muscular tension associated with wanting to defend oneself.

• Why:
It completes the motor impulse of “fighting back”, letting the brain know the struggle is over.

Give it a try and let me know below- did you feel a shift? 👇

✨ Rewiring Presence:
Shifting Out of Autopilot

Move your body to rewire your brain 🧠

Exercise #1: The “Other” Hand 🖐

You know those days when you’re just automatically going through the motions, without even thinking about what you’re doing?
You’re brushing your teeth, but your mind is already ten steps ahead, worrying about a meeting or replaying a conversation from yesterday.

When we live on autopilot, we aren’t just “efficient”— we’re also more likely to get stuck in those old, heavy emotional loops.

Today we’re going to gently nudge the brain out of its comfort zone.

The Invitation:

Tomorrow morning (or the next time you have something to eat) - switch hands.
If you’re right-handed, use your left hand to hold your fork 🍴, or when you brush your teeth - hold your toothbrush 🪥 with the opposite hand, etc.

What’s Happening Inside?

It sounds so simple, but it’s actually a huge workout for your brain.
By using your non-dominant hand, you’re forcing the “other” side of your brain to take control.
This creates a literal “physical bridge” (a new neural pathway) between the left and right hemispheres.

The Somatic Shift:

From a somatic and trauma-informed perspective, this exercise is a Pattern Interrupt.
When you struggle to coordinate that toothbrush with your “wrong” hand, you HAVE to be present.
You can’t worry about the future when you’re focusing on not dropping your toothbrush (or fork, or…).
This pulls your energy out of the “survival” part of your brain and brings it back into your body and the current moment.
It’s a small way of telling your nervous system: “I am here, I am safe, and I can handle something new”.

👉🏼 Give it a try and let me know:

Did it feel frustrating, funny, or just plain weird?
(That “weird” feeling is actually new neural pathways being built in your brain!)

✨ A Series on Releasing Trauma

Trauma isn’t just a memory living in your head. It’s a response living in your body.

That’s because trauma doesn’t live in your thoughts, it lives in your tissues.

We often think healing means talking about the past until we understand it perfectly.
But, you don’t need to spend years “understanding” the past to heal.

Your body/nervous system doesn’t care about the story; it cares about resolution.

Trauma is the moment your body learned it wasn’t safe to finish a response— a fight impulse that was stopped, a scream that was suppressed, a collapse that was judged…

Think of it like an unfinished circuit.

You might feel anxious, tight, or disconnected because your body is still waiting for the signal that the danger is over.
True healing happens when we help/let the body finish that movement, release that breath, and finally realize:
“I am safe now. I can stop protecting.”

Once your body feels that safety, your mind naturally follows.

✨✨✨

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to share a series of gentle, body-led exercises designed to help you complete these responses and regulate your nervous system.

I’m calling it:
“Actions to Help the Body Complete the Response”

☝🏼 First up:

The best way to handle frustration energy trapped in your muscles.

Make sure you’re following along so you don’t miss it!

01/13/2026

Have you ever noticed how much of our day we spend on total autopilot??

We drive the same way (ever kind of zone out and then realize you’re stopped at a red light??!), we drink our coffee the same way, from the same mug, and more importantly- we often fall into the same old emotional ruts without even realizing it.
Our brains love efficiency, so they build these deep “grooves” or pathways to save energy. But sometimes, those grooves keep us stuck in ways that no longer serve us.

I know that true healing and change isn’t just about thinking differently— it’s about moving and “being” differently.
To heal, we have to physically show our brains that there are new ways to exist.

That’s why I’m starting a new series: “Rewiring Presence: Shifting Out of Autopilot” to help us shake things up!!

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some simple, down-to-earth ways to ‘rewire’ your brain.
They might feel a little silly or even a bit frustrating at first, but that’s actually the feeling of your brain building a new bridge. Let’s get off autopilot and come back home to the present moment together.

Stay tuned…
