Learning to relax on vacation is a healing journey in itself.
If you grew up in chaos or constantly being “on alert,” slowing down can feel uncomfortable—even when you want to enjoy your time off.

Here’s your reminder:
🧘‍♀️ Rest is not a reward.
🌱 You don’t have to “earn” joy.
💛 Your body is allowed to exhale.

Travel isn’t just about the destination—
It’s about relearning what peace feels like.

Boundary's and family sometimes can be hard to mix...

BUT just because it's hard doesn't mean you don't do it. It's important to set boundaries to protect your peace and allow for you and those around you to have a great day. When we are boundaried, grounded and resourced, we are able to enjoy ourselves SO MUCH MORE!

this holiday season, practice boundary setting. Role play how you will set and say your boundaries. Practice is the key to success.

If the family dynamics are too heavy this year, it’s okay to choose distance over discomfort.

Healing sometimes means changing traditions to protect your peace.
Whether you go, leave early, or skip entirely — you’re allowed to honor what you need.

🌙 Healing means listening to yourself, even when it disappoints others.

Not every family gathering is peaceful, and that’s okay. You can choose peace over participation.

Boundaries don’t make you rude — they protect your mental health and energy.
This Thanksgiving, give yourself permission to say less, step away, or simply not engage.

✨ You can love your family and still protect your peace.

Love bombing isn’t about love — it’s about control.
It starts with grand gestures, constant attention, and fast attachment… but it’s all to create dependency.
Healthy love builds safety, not intensity. ❤️‍🩹

3 signs you may be in a narcissistic abuse or toxic relationship:

1) You are a shell of the person you once were
2) You are afraid to voice your opinions
3) You play conversations in your mind to elicit the least emotional reactive or angry response out of your partner

If you’ve hit the trifecta, take a look at what’s going on. Those aren’t healthy ways of relating to your parented. They are signs of emotional abuse.

Grief needs movement.

Tears, shaking, deep breaths — these are the body’s ways of saying, “I’m ready to let go.”

Loss is not just emotional; it’s physical.
Our nervous system tightens to protect us from pain, and healing asks us to gently reintroduce safety, presence, and flow.

Move your grief.
Breathe it out.
Your body knows the way home. 🌿

Grief is a lifetime experience. It is apart of us in every moment. Grief can also shift and morph into different things. It can move us into different places in our lives.

What is important is to remember to FEEL it. Allow it to be. Allow it to flow through you.

Emotions and grief get stuck when we don’t allow it/them to be.

Grief doesn’t only live in the heart — it lives in the body.

Tight shoulders, shallow breaths, heavy limbs — these are often the body’s way of holding what words cannot express.

When we ignore or suppress grief, the body keeps the score — carrying our losses in tension, fatigue, or pain.
Healing begins when we learn to listen, honor, and release what the body has been holding.

Your body remembers. Let it also remember peace. 🕊️

Shadow Work starts with gentle self-inquiry — not harsh self-criticism.
Pay attention to the parts of you that feel uncomfortable to acknowledge. Those are the pieces asking to be seen and loved.
Healing happens when you stop running from your shadow and start listening to it. 🖤
