Authenticity & Wholeness Coach for Rebels with a Cause
As you may know from last week's post, my brain tripped a fuse and I went into shut-down mode. At the time, I thought it was overwhelm… and it was, to a point. But the real issue was that my center had drifted back up to my head. And when I operate from my head, [...]
I found myself laying on my sofa this morning after breakfast, practicing deep, slow breathing to activate the relaxation center of my brain. Feeling the tears that come with the anxiety of hitting a wall, and holding space for all of it. I have missed my regular newsletters the past 2 weeks. I owe many of you an update [...]

The transition to 2021 is well underway, and it couldn't come a moment too soon! Have you started imagining how this new year could be better than the last?
