I have to remind myself of these things COUNTLESS TIMES, because our society is purposefully built to make us FORGET THEM.

I've come to realize that if it's something that "everyone's doing" then it should be questioned.
If it's something simple that only a few are doing, then it's worth paying attention to and considering adopting!

These insights and reminders often come to me when I sit down to write my 750 words in the mornings. And they come to me because I already have everything I need within me. Yep, you too!! But we've been gaslighted into forgetting this.

Follow me for more soul-saving reminders as I work to save my own soul from a world hell-bent on enslaving my light. The more women I can help save their own souls along with me, the better and brighter this world is gonna be!!!

Let us know in the comments:
💖 which one hit you in the solar plexus or gut
💖 any soul-saving reminders you yourself tend to forget!

"I’m fine" is often code for “I’m trying to survive in a world that doesn’t make space for me.”

When we begin to replace default responses with truer ones, we interrupt a lifelong pattern of silence.

In my groups and sessions, we practice this kind of honesty. Not to burden others—but to *invite deeper connection.*

Because truth creates the conditions for belonging. Let’s normalize it 🔥!

I know you know it too. There’s NO WAY that this is it. Work our butts off, come home, scroll on our phones or watch Netflix ‼️
That’s not what our beautiful hands were made for.
That’s not what our beautiful MINDS were made for.
That’s not what our beautiful LIVES were made for.

When we create, we align ourselves with our higher purpose. Our higher calling. Our higher selves. Our humanity.🌀

We tap back into that infinite stream of creative consciousness that is always out there flowing.

Suddenly our synapses are lighting up - our ideas are flowing - our hands are moving - our hearts are open. We feel more ALIVE. 💖

Do whatever you have to do to find a way to CREATE. We each contain MULTITUDES within us, and we have so much to share with the world.

We also need an OUTLET for all that we hold within, or we start to get SICK.

Paint, cook, garden, sing, dance, crochet, collage, design, build, weave, fix, or play an instrument. Tell a story, share a joke, do your makeup. If you want to feel more alive, DO SOMETHING with your HANDS, your BODY, your VOICE.

Don’t let the bastards drag you down into their black mirrors. 💻
Your life is YOURS to liberate!

This quick exercise has helped dozens of my clients reconnect with themselves in moments of total overload.

I call it the “3 minute Reset for Burnout”.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about coming home.

Save this for your next high-stress day.

Let me know in the comments if you try it!🙏💕

We’ve been taught to equate healing with calm 🧘‍♂️
But what if healing actually looks like truth-telling, boundary-setting, and sacred anger?💕🔥💕🔥
In a world that silences us 🚒, your rage is a sign that something matters deeply. Let’s stop apologizing for our fire. Let’s listen to it. 🔥🔥🔥

Let’s heal it through expressing it - in ways that we won’t regret! 😅

🎨🖌Art materials are perfect for releasing pent-up rage!!😡
Paper can hold so much of our pain and anger!!📜✏️
It can also be CRUMPLED and RIPPED-UP, and THROWN at WALLS!
Paint can be SPLATTERED and SMEARED, and THROWN at CANVAS!!💦🖌
Clay can be POUNDED and KNEADED, and THROWN on a WHEEL!!
There are so many ways to express our sacred, valid rage through art materials!!
🖌🎨🎭👩🏾‍🎨

Check out my Free To Be Collective (a free group on Facebook) where we explore our feelings of rage and sadness for our world THROUGH ART!! Zero “skills” necessary!

Are you lonely sometimes, and sick of hearing “we should have coffee sometime!” because it feels like you and your acquaintances keep saying this to each other without making plans and worry you will continue doing so until you die?!?

Are you interested in ACTUALLY creating community and not just seeing and sharing posts about it (that, let’s be honest, seem more like advice on how to be a good friend than how to really create community)?

Are you longing to pursue your creative passions that always seem to get left on the back burner because you’re too tired from doing life to muster up the energy to start a crafting or art project that your brain tells you is unimportant?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!! If I had a dime for every time a woman said to me “Oh I love getting creative, but who has the TIME?!”
I know what you’re really saying: “I don’t feel inspired to sit at home alone and make something that feels hard or complicated, that I’d have to set up and then clean up when I’m TIRED!!”

I FEEL YOU! But turns out when you get to a Stitch n’ Bitch where you hang with other women who are crafting and creating, your project doesn’t seem that hard, and you find yourself getting really into it!

You strike up interesting conversations with strangers about what they are making and find the conversations and laughter FLOW.

You make new connections, find out you know each others neighbours, and even manage to get a lead on a new job!

Your world expands, your hands create, and your heart grows two sizes bigger!
So what are you waiting for?! Start your own Stitch n’ Bitch today!! Let me know in the comments when you’re hosting your first one! I can’t wait to hear about Sn’Bs popping up everywhere!!

Stop doom-scrolling! Take a look at your photos from the past month! 📸🤳
What do you see?!
What do you notice?!
Is there some good there? 🫣💞
Is there some growth there?! 😅🌱🌱

You are doing better than you think!! And I’ll bet you $5 you’re doing your best!!

Your “best” is like a boat: 🛶🚢🛥️🚣

Maybe your boat has a hole in it and you’ve been bailing water!

Maybe your boat is a sailboat and you’ve been forced to wait for some winds to come along and help you move!

Maybe it’s a speed boat but you’ve run outta gas!!

Comment below👇 and give me your “best boat” metaphor for how you’re doing your best lately, even though you may not necessarily have a yacht, ya know?!

And if you want to jump into my communal row boat 🛶 where you don’t have to row alone and can have some laughs along the way, check out the link in my bio for my Free To Be Collective where we (awesome social-Justice women) have good fun and make art together every week!! 🔗🤗

Featured here are:
My 🐈‍⬛ 🐱 Coal & Daisy
Some of my process art from my monthly “Paint Your Inner Voice” workshops
Some dear friends who’ve really been showing up for me lately 💞
Some poignant quotes I’ve come across 🤔🤗
