Did I mention my Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast partner and friend, Laurel Lamoureux Boivin, and I are hosting a weekend retreat?

April 19-21, at the Woodbound Inn, in Rindge NH.

It's going to be a magical weekend and space is still available.
If you need a weekend for yourself, self-discovery, soul-nourishing activity, and connection with other women, this might be for you!

Any friends in New England want to join us?

A weekend retreat - a timeout from the usual routine of life to gift yourself in unexpected and beautiful ways. Leave behind the spaces, places and people that influence you daily. Allow yourself to wonder about it all from a lofty and gentle plane. Join us April 2023 in New Hampshire.

Last night I was outside in my favorite hat (pictured here) circling a fire with some kindred spirits. I’ve been gathering women together in groups for 27 years. In my years as a Life Coach, it remains the best part of the work I do. And I am reminded WHY all the time, especially when someone else gives unsolicited advice to another. It can feel demeaning instead of supportive.

The group model I learned in 1996 and have been using ever since is an empowerment model based in consciousness raising. It changes women’s lives who partake in it, in ways that have benefited not only them but all the relationships of their lives. I know because when I did my Master’s thesis I researched the model and discovered the countless benefits women received from partaking in the groups, learning the guidelines, and using them in their day-to-day lives. And I know it firsthand from the beautiful relationships I’ve cultivated.

Would you like to experience this group model, these life-changing guidelines? You have the opportunity to this April 19-21 in New Hampshire. My podcast partner laurel@fluxflowcoaching.com and I will be leading a weekend retreat to explore “Vulnerability and Authenticity” as the pathway to your personal power. Website Link is in my bio if you want the 411.

If you know you lack the kind of support and connection you crave, this may be a place to discover how to authentically, safely, and supportively connect with others. I’d love to see you in our circle.

Always with love,
L

Are you in a new phase of life? Do you wish for the world to change? How do you think about your life right now? What fulfillment has escaped you so far in life?

We aren't taught to dream big dreams for the world. You may have been encouraged to dream a dream for yourself but when we dream - any dream - it changes the world. It's a responsibility and a gift. When the dream feels like it is received as a message our energy must coalesce around that image, bringing us into new ways of living to bring that dream into this reality. We want to help you do this.

This May, Laurel Boivin and I are teaming up to encourage you to dream with us. We'll be meeting weekly on Zoom to share with one another, to create community where new dreams can be born and tended to with loving care, as we move through guided meditations, journaling activities, visualization and affirmation work, and creating a safe container to hold one another's heartfelt dreams.

Send your email to me in a private message or email me and we'll link you in to the group experience.

Feeling grateful for trusting my instincts and following a new direction with podcasting ⭐️ it has shaped up to be one of the great pleasures and growth experiences of 2021 🙏

Burning incense, lighting candles, journaling, fire outside at full moon to release, scented salted bath, time with sage/safe others, resting bountifully, eating well, laughing often, time in nature… we are learning new self-care practices as we grow aren’t we? Need some inspiration on this one? Listen in to Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast this week 🙏 link in bio of course 😊

For me self-care time has always included time with girlfriends, laughing and sometimes crying, but in the end connecting deeply and authentically. I always leave feeling high on life and free to be me in totality. There’s no thing like it 👩‍❤️‍👩

Self-care since the pandemic hit has challenged us in new ways to discover what makes us feel really good. The old ways weren’t necessarily the best ways to take care of self, and we can find new ways if we’re willing to explore. That’s what this weeks Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast speaks into. If you’re struggling with finding your way with self-care for the past year, we hope this episode supports you.

Don’t miss Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast this week as this lovely lady, wild woman, intuitive healer, and all around fabulous .mccorkell.healing mama digs deep with me on the topic of feeling too much or not enough. Those early programmed messages that came from outside us and now live in our nervous system and mind and limit our ability to live into all we are and all we can become ⭐️ link in bio 👉

“How dare you have professional photos taken? They aren’t natural.”

Message received. Don’t think you’re all that. Don’t try to be to big. Don’t show up too fully. Don’t spend money on yourself. Don’t ….

Anyone else feel like you receive this kind of feedback? Whether in comes in actual words or a look or a story about someone else?

How do we get the message to stay small, don’t draw too much attention, etc and then internalize it so we can’t seem to speak up about our accomplishments, what we offer, and all the other ways we are conflicted about being in the spotlight? Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast digs in to the topic this week. I loved having this conversation with .mccorkell.healing. May this help you discover your “too much” may just be the gift you came here to embody, hone and deliver ⭐️⭐️🌟

As women we’re learning that a little bit of “selfish” goes a long way in sustaining our energy and ability to continue nurturing others.

First nourish self. Not selfish 🙌

On Today’s Beautiful Work Beautiful Life podcast .boivin and I hope to inspire you to push the edges - maybe even redefine- what selfish can mean ⭐️ link in bio 👉

Crossroads by Laurel Holland 10.27.21

After they’ve broken your spirit
When you’ve done as you’re told
Played the part you practiced for
I’ll be waiting for you at the crossroad

I recognize your confusion and pain
Even if you can’t feel it all just yet
Let go and listen to the inner voice saying stop
Your feet can rest right where they are planted

For now let the tears flow and put it down
You don’t have to carry on with that story
That has worn your heart and frazzled mind
Into an image you don’t know in the mirror

Take sanctuary here for a time
There’s space for your weary soul
To pause for a time and remember
All the essential life that went missing

We don’t mean to do it, this harming
Another way will come someday
But for now, the path out is here
Not everyone will walk this way

Although the road is open and clear
A solitary way that many have walked
You must bear one more pain
And alone choose this new road

This week I’ve been called back in my body and heart to a time when I broke trust with myself. Betrayed what my heart knew was true for me. Betrayed others by going along with the agenda in front of me. Not knowing what else to do or how to pause to do it differently. That pause didn’t come till I was 30 ✨ seems like a lifetime ago and yet I’m touching the pain as if it was last year 😔 By then I had made choices that seemed impossible to change - there was no asking for a redo.

Slowly but surely, I had re-opened that window of connection with the true me, my soul and heart. I continued to listen. I took small, sometimes the tiniest of steps back to my self. I rebuilt trust slowly but surely. And because I willingly did it and faced the hard stuff, I regrew a life that became filled with integrity and aligned with all that I want in my heart♥️

It was journey and it was painful. And then it has been more wonderful than difficult. When we avoid the pain we simply postpone it, and often magnify it when it comes time to feel it. .boivin and I speak into this topic of self-trust on Beautiful Work Beautiful Life Podcast this week. May it be inspiration to begin any repair work in your own journey to self-trust ✨
