Your Week Ahead: Your Mental Health Week


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, spirit, and psyche were craving silence and solitude.

In this week's reflection, I open up my personal doors and share a bit about how I tend to my own mental health. A big part of that is getting quiet, and it's so essential because without getting quiet, I can't hear or feel what it is I need.

It's so easy to keep the inputs coming full blast, surrounding ourselves with people, tasks, things to listen to, social media to look at. Sometimes we just need to turn it off, but that can be really difficult or scary because it means having to be with yourself, having to listen to yourself, and we might not always like what we find when we do that. It can be enormously uncomfortable.

This week, I invite you to take your own mental health week, even if that means just going to bed a little earlier or getting off of social media for a little longer, or taking one minute a day to do a breathing exercise. I invite you to listen to your body, spirit, and psyche. What does it need?

Remember: what you need matters. When you find out what you need, show yourself some love by tending to that need!

Upcoming Events

Safe Sisters Women's Circle

The next Safe Sisters meeting is coming up on March 17! I invite you to join this intimate, supportive, open, and non-judgmental group of women as we nourish each other and connect through authentic and deep conversation.

This month, we'll be exploring the topic of intentions and new beginnings! The wisdom each woman brings to the table is incredible, and there is always something powerful to take away from the conversation.

Pop-up Mini Tarot Readings

If you have been feeling like you're hitting nothing but roadblocks lately, a tarot reading can be a great way to find clarity on the lessons those roadblocks have to teach you, and how you can work around them and move forward from them.

Tarot takes what your intuition already knows and translates into a way that your conscious mind can understand, and is a wonderful tool for finding clarity and direction during tense and uncertain times.


Affirmation & Journal Prompt

Getting quiet and listening to your body can be hard, especially if you're used to having a lot of inputs. Tuning into your breath can make getting quiet a little easier! Here are some questions to consider:

Where is your breath naturally settling in your body?

Can you create more space in your body for the breath to deepen?

How do you feel after paying attention to your breath for one minute? Three minutes? Five minutes? What do you notice about the state of your physical body, or your thoughts?

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...
