hey, raspberry rose soda. weâve all got intuition, but we donât all feel like we have easy access to it weâve been programmed in a bajillion different ways to discredit the deep (and FREE, btw) wisdom within, so more important than anything else is for you to GO EASY on yourself with it rather than make yourself wrong for not knowing where to start or how to hear that precious insight, give yourself grace + start here: ask yourself what you LIKE to do, and/or what you WANT to do this might...

fuck snowstorms, bloom. when youâre already hanging on by some kinda thread, thereâs nothing like a continuous 24-hour heavy snowfall with accumulations of 18+ inches to make you fall to your proverbial knees (or scream obscenities through tears on the way to fill up your gas tank) when your finances for the rest of the month are planned + plotted to the penny, canceled work gigs HURT or maybe your heart is too too tender lately, and being snowed in echoes the absence of someone you miss or...

hey, garlic knot. i know we love our checklists, and crossing items off them and you know iâm all about making sure that whatâs ON them in the first place makes best sense for YOU â which means that youâve probably already eliminated most of the unnecessary tasks on your list that reflect other peopleâs goals, wishes + intentions more than your own (way to go! or, if this is something you struggle with â give a shout to talk through how i can help) but now that your lists are filled with the...

hey, pickled pepper. meet âem where theyâre at â itâs a tenderhearted battle cry for folks here to lead, educate, and love well itâs the opposite of expecting everyone to be where you are or where you want them to be â in how they relate to you, what you believe, and what you need itâs a hallmark of compassion, empathy, understanding + love i bet youâre all about meeting everyone else where theyâre at⌠but answer me this: whoâs meeting YOU there? and perhaps even more importantly: are you...

hey, baked bean. unless youâre a car or a spine, âalignmentâ might seem more woo than worthwhile to pursue that would be a mistake though. alignment is the tough-to-nail-down but utterly indispensable foundation for all the big work weâre here to do in this world when your values, beliefs + actions are aligned, decisions become so much easier to make. you have less to question + even less to prove and when those things are misaligned? people can feel it â even if they canât name it (NB:...

hey, snowrose. you know the saying â how you do anything is how you do everything? well, iâm not a fan. not really because the way i clean my house is not at all the way i write these messages to you, for example the one i do begrudgingly + a bit halfassedly. the other i absorb myself in so completely that i need to set alarms so i donât accidentally blow off plans and if i put my all into cleaning the house the same way i do to write these messages, and if i do that for all the other tasks i...

hey, buttercrunch. so, picture this⌠itâs christmas eve at my grandparentsâ house, circa maybe like 1980 or so everyoneâs packed in the kitchen, likely getting in the way of my poppy + my mom who are no doubt preparing the smelts + clam sauce + five other fishes for our traditional italian christmas eve feast everyone but me, that is as the story goes, all of a sudden from the kitchen they heard my sweet small voice â maybe i was four or five, and i certainly wasnât as much of a loudmouth...
