hey, shredded cheddar. so, this might ruffle some feathers but ima say it anyway because it might just help you spread those feathered wings + fly: youāre not looking for answers every time you hop on a coaching call or pick up the phone to call a friend, and you say some version of: āand i just donāt know what to doā ā iāll be uncharacteristically reserved here + say maybe something like 78.273854% of the time, youāre not looking for answers at all what youāre looking for is permission....

hey, cake pop. if youāve been here longer than a minute, you already know iām a wordy birdie š¦ as in, iāve got a lot to say. and i love to say it in words wielded like paint + poetry, in equal parts whimsy + intention and i believe deeply that the words we use + choose to use matter which isnāt a terribly groundbreaking statement lol but while we often talk about the power of words to create reality + the importance of doing so with intention, we sometimes miss the way words can hold the code...

hey, earl grey. oh that? iāll do it laterā¦ how many times in a day do you find yourself saying something to that effect? putting something you want to do off until youāve earned it or feel like you can āaffordā the time, energy or money it takes or putting something off that you desperately DONāT want to do but have to (or it sure does feel like you do, anyway) and every time you push it til later, whether you realize it or not, youāre reinforcing the idea that you canāt afford to do what you...

hey, farm fresh peach. you ever find yourself thisclose to tears in the middle of aldiās on a sunny saturday morning? not because aldiās is a bad place lol (we love aldiās here) ā but maybe it was like this: youāre already physically + emotionally stretched and up against a very important deadline. all of your internal + external resources are maxed. time is super tight + youāve just got to do this one āquickā thingā¦ so, youāre more vulnerable to new obstacles, less able to immediately pivot...

hey, smoked provolone. so yeah, i want you to be peace, but donāt you get it twisted being peace isn't always peaceful, and itās not always comfortable itās about alignment + truth, and the conditions within which we live donāt always support the experience or expression of that easefully some super simple examples: the other day, i was crying in my car. even though i was sad, i was being peace rather than stuffing sadness + stifling tears, i let them fall + let myself feel the sadness...

hey, sweet basil. although i use oracle + tarot cards with clients, what we do together isnāt a traditional āreading,ā as most people understand it i donāt deliver definitive answers, though i do help you find them you donāt come to me for a quick fix, though the wisdom we uncover together can be potent + facilitate quick shifts rather than you seeking to be told what to do, and me being all-too-eager to be the voice that tells you, we work together to hear what you already know when you stop...
