sometimes the next best step isn’t a step at all


hey, banana candy.

sometimes the action is nothing more than acknowledgement

i’ve had that sentence written in my phone for the past few weeks — from something i said on one of my inner sanctum community calls, that i wanted to share with you

because sometimes the next best step isn’t a step at all

and sometimes the doing isn’t easy to see, doesn’t lend itself to satisfying checks marked off a list

sometimes it’s to pause, face, absorb, accept

to exist with

to allow to season + spice

a realization to engage with

a shame to face

a disappointment to recover from

a longing to steep in

in this hustle culture that keeps us chasing ever more — daring to pause + be with rather than force launch or let pass by…

this is how we gently break what binds us through quiet holy growth

with presence + patience. with curiosity + care

creating space for magic + traction

letting your lessons coalesce + your wisdom feel itself

what next step might you take as a seat instead?

what urge to trudge through can you tame with a little time + space to integrate?

and for the record... taking space doesn't always have to take long!

VIRTUAL QUICKIE FOR YOU?

every once in a while i offer quickie co-created card readings at in-person events, at super reduced rates

it's a chance to introduce people in my community to what i do + how i do it, in a low stakes, high impact way

these aren't on my regular menu of offers + would never be sustainable, but because i love to sneak in perks for you whenever i can, i often open up limited virtual spots to my list that line up with the in-person offering

the event is tomorrow, so between now + sunday at noon ET, you're invited to purchase a virtual co-created quickie card reading for a cool 20 bucks (to be scheduled by august 8th if at all possible)

whether you've been curious to see what this work is all about or you're a past client hungry for a quick shot of fresh perspective, you’re welcome to purchase a sesh for yourself or someone else

just send your payment of $20 right here + by sunday evening i’ll send your link to book in

in these quickie sessions i guide you through a mini-experience of my signature process for helping you interpret the message of a selected tarot or oracle card

i’ll also offer insight on how you might apply or engage with it (as well as my own intuitive two cents, of course!)

for a little more about them, you can tune in at about the 5:30 minute mark of these videos on FB or IG from a past event

and if you're a CT local love, come through saturday from 11am - 3pm to the patio at the foot of central ave, between fountain + whalley!

get a quickie card sesh, pickup a limited run collab candle + some thriveandbloom stickers, and shop so many brilliant local makers + artisans for one-of-a-kind gifts, artwork, decorations, adornments + ethical self-care products

PLUS our rotating local DJ roster is sure to curate a vibe every time

pssst: you can pick yourself up some kate stephen jewelry while you're there — like 3/4 of what i'm wearing in this cute market promo poster!!​
​

whatever kinda grounding, inspiring, joybringing thing you might be ready to call in, i guarantee you'll find something along those lines at the market

hey, almond joy. so first of all, i can’t stop laughing at how bad i’m dating myself with the subject line — let me know if you get it lol but seriously… sometimes self-trust looks like staying on hold for 25 freaking minutes — even though you’re up against a deadline + could use every last minute you’ve got to meet it but this thiiiing has been hanging over your head for mooooonths which might make you wonder if one more day would really be the end of the world but all of a sudden, you just...

hey, strawberry sorbet. one of my newest passions is collaborating with brilliant makers + masters of their craft to create products that support that intuition-driven, thriveandbloom life because what i lack in artistic skill i make up for in desire, ideas + enthusiasm :) and my very first collab, fittingly, is with annya white-brown + naturalannie essentials (where i’ve been leading candle classes for the past year-plus!) i dreamt up the scent combos + team NAE whipped up the candles for...

hey, lotus root. i seem to be in a season of transition when it comes to the relationships in my life some are deepening, others are dislodging + releasing some are being nurtured in word + action, others are wilting from lack of mutual attention newer seeds are sprouting, some older leaves have deadened + dropped, other old shoots have taken new root i’ve often been the one to nurture my relationships when life got busy — to check in, to make the date, to circle back, to be there i never...
