Hi [Name], I’ve been writing a ton this August—and while I haven't even used my tracker’s “fill in” feature for skipped days, it’s not because I’ve been perfect. Some days I write thousands of words. Other days, I don’t write at all. But I’m proud of myself for showing up consistently. Actual excerpt from my 750 words app. And that word—consistently—comes up a lot with my clients. They tell me things like: “I work out, but not consistently.” “I eat healthy, but not consistently.” “I journal,...

Subscribe to Magical Mondays The first thought I had looking at this card is how often, figures that look spooky or scary, aren't actually malicious presences. The hooded figures look like old women, and the fact that my brain spits out "creepy" says a lot about...

“You can’t love a hero.” That line wrecked me when I heard it last week on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast. Because I was the hero. I did everything right. I was “easy.” I worked hard. I stayed out of trouble. I racked up accomplishments. But it was lonely. Perfectionism builds walls. And while it might win approval, it keeps out connection — even from the people who love you most. I remember a moment in high school when I realized that even my own sister didn't know the real me, and that I...

I’ve been thinking a lot about emotions this week—specifically, what happens when we’re taught not to trust them. Let's start with one of the most popular emotions for women: Anxiety! Anxiety often shows up when we've learned to believe that our fear response is "too much" or an "overreaction". When you're told not to be scared, to “calm down,” or to “just push through,” you begin to repress fear instead of listening to it. Which your body won't stand for, especially if the environment your...

After years of unlearning, deprogramming, and creating a life that actually fits me… I moved back in with my parents for a while. And holy hell. I had experienced this in small doses when I'd come home for visits and holidays, and I couldn't quite put my finger on what made me feel so stagnant when I was in my parent's house, staying in my old bedroom (or, more recently, in the guest room) But when I was home for a longer stretch? I could feel the old role creeping back in. The one they...
