Your Week Ahead: Solstice Reflections of Growth and Transformation


Weekly Reflection

Happy Monday, dear friend!

The Winter Solstice was this past Saturday, and for me, this is the day of the year that feels most like a new year to me. I spent a lot of time in reflection on Friday and Saturday, considering how I have transformed over the past year, and what I envision for the year ahead.

If you're interested in why the Winter Solstice is the day that feels most like a new year to me, or would like to know the surprising realizations that came out of my reflection process, I invite you to click the button below to watch this week's reflection video. If you would like to do your own Solstice or New Year reflection, here are some questions to ask yourself:

  1. How have you grown, changed, healed, transformed, etc. over the past year? Consider all areas of your life. (I used the 12 houses of astrology and their corresponding areas of life for this).
  2. Is there a word that sums up the past year for you? If you are a person who picks a word of the year, how did the summary word compare to the word you originally picked? Is it what you expected? (My original word for last year was PRESENCE, but when I did my reflection, I found that RECLAMATION was a better fit for how the year turned out.)
  3. Using those same areas of life, what is your broad vision for the year head for each area of life? Think less about concrete goals or things you want to accomplish, and more about how you want to feel and function on a daily basis in each area of life.
  4. Is there a word that summarizes what your vision is for the year ahead? (Mine is THRIVING.)

If you would like to share what you found in your reflection, I would LOVE to hear about it! Simply respond to this email and we can set up a time to chat and catch up!

Weekly Reflection Happy Monday, dear Friend! I feel like I've been a broken record lately, talking about releasing the "how." But, as you know, I tend to talk about what I see and what I'm actively working through, and this theme has been front and center for me lately. What's different this week is that in the Weekly Reflection video, I share a 3-step process (I love a good process with clear steps!) that I used today to open myself up to a wide range of possibilities, and let go of yet...

Weekly Reflection Happy Sunday, dear Friend! You may have noticed some silence from me last week - I didn't send my usual email, nor did I post any videos. I needed to take some time over the past week to tend to my mental health, and for me, that meant pulling back and getting quiet. Getting quiet is a big theme that has been emerging for me over the past few weeks. I felt tension building - a need for solitude and rest. I had spent A LOT of time "people-ing" as I call it, and my body,...

Weekly Reflection Happy Monday, dear friend! (If you received this twice, it's because I forgot to link the most current tarot reading. This updated email has the correct link). It's been a whirlwind of a week over here! In the past seven days, I: finally submitted all of my licensing materials to the state of North Carolina so I can practice as a psychotherapist there, officiated my cousin's wedding, did seven tarot readings at the Prana House, started packing my house up to prepare to move...
