Magical Mondays: Out with the old


Good morning!

It's the first of the month and the energy is all sorts of interesting. Don't you feel it?

It's a very Monday-ish Monday because it feels like the start of the week, the start of the month and the start of the yuletide season are all happening on the same day.

And yet, because of the season, this week is less about Starting Fresh and more about Cleaning House.

Also, as a reminder TODAY is the last day to claim your spot in Campfyre Collective for just $1500 PLUS the bonus 1:1 coaching session (a $200 value!) to help you start your year off the way YOU want (less the normal new years resolutions that you give up on 2 weeks into January).

Now, let's get to what you really want to know:

Our card for this week is 6 of Swords.

This card is all about transitions. You're leaving something behind, and heading towards something new, and more than likely there's a lot of work and growth and struggle waiting for you on your way there.

We don't see any faces on this card, everyone is facing away from us, and that makes me think of how there's something (or somethings) in your live you might be ready to ditch and not look back.

And there's a few things on the horizon that you want to work on. New projects, new thought patterns, maybe?

Right now, this week is the time for you to go ahead and let go of those things you're ready to be done with. There's no room for them in the season that comes next. I'll put some aligned actions below you can play with for this.

And don't push yourself immediately into the Next Thing. Instead, take this week to start thinking, daydreaming, and maybe learning about what comes next instead of forcing yourself into so much action.

Aligned Actions this week:

  1. Cord Cutting Meditation - if the thing you're ready to let go of isn't so much something as someONE, or even just their influence on your life, thoughts, and emotions, use this cord-cutting meditation to sever those ties. You can do it just once, or once a day for the whole week. Honestly, even if you don't have a particular person in mind, you can use this daily this week to cut energetic ties to whatever (or whoever) comes up for you.
  2. Clear out your space - this is a really practical one and perfect for this time of year! It's a great time to clean out your closet, your pantry, or your desk to shift the energy in that area of your life and donate the things that no longer serve you. Get creative with what "donate" might mean. You can bring it to a goodwill or food pantry 100%, but you might also play with turning fabric from old clothes into creative holiday gifts or decorations, and cooking all the food you want to get rid of or creating little gift packages to share with friends & family.
  3. Read for progress - That goal you have on the horizon? The one you've been dreaming about? I have a hunch you've got a book or two hanging out, or a course you've bought but haven't started. If not, take yourself to a library and go find one. Let yourself read, absorb, and integrate without pushing yourself to take any action this week, and let me know how it goes!

Love you!

I want to be FULLY HONEST right now- I'm in a great place right now. I've made more in 2025 in my business than I ever have before. I've got a beautiful house and a husband & kid I LOVE and I am so proud of the way we communicate together. And also? I didn't get here alone. I have, right now, 5 coaches. 1 mentor. and 4 different groups I'm a part of. Literally all I spend money on right now is coffee and personal growth. This is a HUGE reason I am consistently one of the happiest people I...

Hi love, I wanted to share a little about the Rules of Engagement we’ve created for the Campfyre Collective — not the rules themselves, but the heart behind them. I didn’t sit down and write a list of policies. We built these agreements together — through conversations, lived experience, and a shared desire to create a community where gifted, intuitive, “too much,” deeply perceptive women can finally exhale. These rules are about: • Creating safety without smothering growth • Being honest...

Listen, I LOVE Christmas. Full out, with all my little heart. It always feels like magic to me, pure and simple. But I know the holidays are not joyful for everyone, and if that's you, I need to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Felicia Dilbert. Felicia's book Beautiful Healing (vol. 1) emerged from her own personal journey, and I don't want to tell her story for her. But can I just say she's been through so much, and has made extraordinary meaning and beauty out of things that can be...
