Learning to love who I am means no longer sitting at tables where Iā€™m expected to conform just to belong.

Iā€™ve spent enough time trying to soften my edges, quiet my voice, or reshape myself to fit someone elseā€™s standards. The truth is ā€” the right spaces donā€™t ask you to become less of yourself. They make room for who you already are.

So Iā€™m choosing authenticity over acceptance, peace over approval, and purpose over pretending.

If I donā€™t fit anymore, itā€™s not rejectionā€¦ itā€™s alignment.

āœØ Have you ever outgrown a table you once tried so hard to belong at? Share below ā€” Iā€™d love to hear your experience.

I just heard my grief speak.

I didnā€™t know I was documenting the worst version of myself.

One month after losing him, I created this sequence for Joe.

I pressed record.
I sent a message.
And then I never listened to it again.

Today I did.

And it took my breath away.

Where are you today?

Each week, Iā€™m creating a gentle space to pause, breathe, and check in with ourselvesā€”without pressure, without judgment, just honesty.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do in the middle of a busy weekā€¦ is simply notice how weā€™re feeling.

So tell meā€”
Are you grounded?
Overwhelmed?
Hopeful?
Healing?
Still figuring it out?

Wherever you are is welcome here. šŸ¤

Drop a word, an emoji, or a quick thought in the comments to check in.
And if someone you love could use a mindful pause today, share this with them so they know theyā€™re not alone.

I choose practices that bring balance between the inside and the outside.
The body learns. The breath follows.
Each time, I stay a little longer.

If your body needs balance today, this is your reminder.

30 seconds. Thatā€™s it.

Inhale for 3
Hold for 3
Exhale for 3
Hold for 3

This breath is a reset.
A pause for your nervous system.
A reminder that you donā€™t need to fix everythingā€”just come back to the moment youā€™re in.

When life feels loud, heavy, or rushed, this is how I soften back into myself.
One square breath at a time.

Save this.
Come back when you need grounding.
Breathe with me.

Sometimes the body needs to turn upside down so the mind can settle.

Inversions arenā€™t about being ā€œadvancedā€ or pushing limits.
Theyā€™re about perspective, regulation, and trust.

When we invert the body:
ā€¢ Blood flow gently shifts back toward the heart and brain
ā€¢ The nervous system receives a signal to slow down
ā€¢ The breath naturally deepens
ā€¢ Focus sharpens and the noise quiets

Inversions help reset the nervous system.
They invite calm where thereā€™s been overwhelm. Clarity where thereā€™s been heaviness.
A pause where life has felt loud.

Thereā€™s also something powerful about seeing the world differentlyā€”
even just for a moment.
Being upside down reminds us that not everything needs fixingā€¦
sometimes it just needs a new angle.

This practice feels so aligned for me because it mirrors where I am in life.
Choosing presence over control.
Finding strength in stillness.
Learning to trust my body, my breath, and the moment Iā€™m inā€”
even when it feels unfamiliar.

Iā€™m not escaping discomfort here.
Iā€™m meeting it calmly.
Grounded.
Breathing.

If youā€™ve been feeling off balance lately,
maybe the answer isnā€™t doing moreā€”
maybe itā€™s simply seeing things differently.

I saw Joe in my dreams again last night.

That familiar, reoccurring one I keep havingā€”still just out of reach when I wake up.
But this time, I remember seeing him.

I woke up with purpose.

I knew it was time to return to my snow and cold meditation, back to the creek, back to my mat.

Eleven minutes todayā€”three more than last year.
With every practice, I feel myself growing strongerā€¦ not just in my body, but in my trust.

I felt him with me there.
In the stillness.
In the breath.
In the quiet strength it took to stay.

And then, on the adventure that followed, a bright red cardinal appeared.
In that moment, I didnā€™t question it.
I just knew.

He was thereā€”watching, guiding, reminding me that Iā€™m never walking this path alone.
Strength comes. Purpose rises.
And love finds its way to meet usā€”right where we are.

Purpose reveals itself when we trust the guidance around us.

If youā€™re feeling called to listen more deeply, send me a message

ā€”Iā€™d love to walk alongside you.

In the quiet of winter, one bright moment reminded meā€”
stillness reveals what searching never could.

In that stillness, I remembered my purpose.

Thereā€™s just something about being that close to a cardinal.
