dreaming of sun-drenched mornings, coffee, and the hum of summer ✨

until then, a practice:
find your feet, wiggle your toes, roll your ankles.
notice your seat, lengthen your spine, crown of the head reaches high.
expansive inhale - feel the body make space for the air.
controlled exhale - let the shoulders drop and jaw relax.
roll out the neck a few times and feel into any spaces that want attention.
close the eyes and breathe into those spaces, sending comfort and care.
when you open your eyes, take a few beats to check your surroundings. slowly scan and pick three things.
notice their shape, texture, size, colour, and anything that stands out to you.
one more full inhale, deep into the belly, and slow exhale out.

happy false spring 🌱
love,

Lately I've been noticing a theme of speed.
I could write a whole blurb about it but honestly, it won't change the fact that the world is moving at break neck speed and I'm just not jiving.
I want to slow down. To move with intention. To learn presence as safety.
So enjoy this scene from a summer trip, with no trending audio.
Stay as long as you like.

✨ practice ✨
watch the scene and see if you can match the pace of your breathing to a wave.
notice the sound on the inhale and sync up with mother nature for a beat or two.

love,

Trauma-informed means honouring the invisible battles people carry every single day.

It’s meeting pain with patience.
Softening instead of shaming.
Listening instead of labeling.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer is presence and safety and that’s where healing begins. ✨

What would you add?

Love,
B

am I an expert? no.
these are beliefs I carry and would love to have a conversation about.
if you disagree (or agree!) let me know, i genuinely want to learn more about other people's understanding of societal structure.

the misunderstood link of the patriarchy to 'all men' needs to be adjusted, we can have a society that benefits everyone and isn't based on climbing over others to have our needs met.

moving the focus to 'men vs women' is a straw-dog argument and we can do better than that.

love,

you matter.
the effort you make, matters.
your commitment to self discovery and expansion, matters.

go slow, honour the process, and marvel at the capacity you're building ✨

Thank you to Tri-River Metis for having me and for the wonderful workshop on cold process soap.
So enjoyed the process and look forward to learning more.

Bonus points if you can guess the inspiration 😉

Grateful for the opportunity and accessibility of learning new skills to provide cleaner options in the home ✨

Working on aaaall the things today.
Here's a shared reminder for us all to slow down, take breaks, EAT, stay hydrated, and when you can, move your body.

With love,

All of these and more are so deeply alive for me.

If you teach, hold space, or educate in any sense or interpretation of those, what are your favourite parts?

If you are a student or on a learning journey, what drives you to continue?

When we reflect on our own journeys and our 'why' we can often sink deeper into the experience. We can hold and give shape to our deepest desires and then take meaningful steps towards them.

With love,
B 🍂
