Transmuting Anger into Kindness & Pleasure Activism:
If it feels like too much with the world on fire right now, youâre not alone.
How can we center love and celebration, plan for weddings, improve our diets, while global crises unleash?
Planning for future celebrations may have you feeling uneasy.
It feels misaligned to vie for your attention with such heavy current events unfolding before our eyes.
One alternate perspective - have you heard of Pleasure Activism?
This argument adds a core component of social justice and liberation to include pleasure as resistance.
How can we possibly dial in on personal dreams, professional goals, and taking care of family and community while âindulgingâ in pleasure?
While the scale of chaos, stress, fear, suffering, and unimaginable harm around us seems to magnify every dayâŚ
We can hold space for both.
Acknowledging, âYes, andâŚâ

Itâs okay if it feels impossible to show up for life like ânormalâ right now.
We need each other, we need solidarity, and to feel human presence.
As a Coach, I hold space for the nuance of navigating lifeâs hurdles while striving for lifestyle wellness with balance.
Especially for our LGBTQ+ community, facing the heartbreak of rights under attack right now. The power of loving support is vital.

You can choose one way, one cause, one step to make a difference.
Even if thatâs just making a difference for you right now before moving forward in the bigger picture to show that love always wins.
Whatâs 1 thing you can commit to today for an act of kindness, or pleasure activism?
Yes, our small imperfect actions really do matter.
Taking care of ourselves & each other in little ways is meaningful.
There's impact of little steps, be it personal wellness or collective good, it adds up for positive change.
Look at the power examples of people coming together in these hard times to do incredibly brave acts of solidarity.
