A little reminder about doing things for yourself...
|
Reader, 10 out of 10 recommend not waiting to do the things you want to do just because you’re afraid you won’t have anyone to do them with. Weekssss ago I knew I wanted to see "Wuthering Heights", and I wanted to see it when I wanted to see it. I didn’t want to plan around anyone else. I just wanted a day to myself and didn’t care how that might look to anyone on the outside. When I went to grab a ticket, I noticed something that made me laugh. Almost every seat that had been chosen was a single seat. Clearly I wasn’t the only woman with this idea! But when I arrived, most of those women were suddenly with friends… or had dragged their men along (LOL!). So yes, I was the only one there by myself. And honestly? I loved every minute of it. It did make me wonder, though, about the women who changed their minds. Either way, I enjoyed the movie. Dark, dramatic, full of love and revenge… and yes, a little bit of spice. I would absolutely go again. (I might even do it solo again too.) Learning to enjoy my own company is something I’m really practicing right now. So I’m curious… How do you feel about doing things alone? Is it something you let yourself do? Why or why not? I’d love to hear. |

Good morning, Reader There’s something I recognized pretty early in my work with women. While I love 1:1 sessions and going deep into why we tick the way we do, the piece so many of us are actually missing isn’t more information. 💕 It’s community.Real community. The kind where you can show up without performing, without holding it all together, and without feeling like you need to be anything other than who you are in that moment. Because yes, you can learn Tapping (EFT) for free on YouTube....
Good morning, Reader When I realized that I’m entire personality was almost entirely made up of old programming/beliefs or a response to ADHD/CPTSD, I decided to make a pact with myself: Do one thing a day that you’ve been avoiding. Something. Every damn say. (Cuz I refuse to defined by some g*ddamn alphabet diagnosis.) Yesterday I was in a funnnnnk. I’ve been working since I was 15 (I’m going to be 34 in June), so NOT working is triggering AF. It’s forcing me to look at a whole bunch of sh*t...
Hey Reader, I’ve been sitting with a sentence that still feels unreal to say out loud: I gave a TEDx talk. And the truth is… I don’t fully know how to answer when people ask how it went. Because when you prepare for something this big, there’s the obvious work. Writing the talk, rehearsing it, & timing every word. But there’s also a quieter kind of preparation no one really talks about. The emotional weight. The life happening behind the scenes. Speaking about something you are still actively...
