This weekend was a peaceful one for me. Lately I’ve been super overwhelmed and feel like my life has been turned upside down for the past 2-3 months. I have this idea that since I know about emotional regulation and self care that life will somehow be easier for me? Turns out it’s not! Like …
My family, like many others, got sick and ended up in quarantine. It just so happened that when my kids were able to get back on track, the school went into remote learning for two weeks. My kids had been stuck at home for two and a half weeks when my son texts me to …
When I’m writing my notes I always put when the next session will be. It makes me feel like time is speeding up. As I write this blog post September is almost over! Yesterday I talked with someone about how she heard on the radio we should start getting ready for Christmas with the delays …
I’m sitting in my office after my vacation. I’m reflecting on the things we did (and didn’t do) and I realized we didn’t take many pictures this time. Our plans changed and then they changed again and we had a great time, but we didn’t take as many pictures as we normally would. And I …

It’s been quite a week this week! I ran head-first into some real struggles in my business and I’ve been overwhelmed with trying to grow and move forward. I was really struggling to find my way and show up to allow and release emotions. It took me a while to realize that I was in …
