Nourishing to Thrive

07/31/2025

Pause. Notice the magic around you in this moment. Maybe it’s a flower, the sound of a child’s laughter, a favorite song, the feel of your shower water caressing you, the feel of a cool breeze on hot skin, the softness of your thighs under your palms, how a window prism creates rainbows as the summer sun sets… Moments like these can support as as we navigate the *every dang thing* that human-ing entails. Sending peace and love, Julie

A little reality check. I do so many supportive things for my whole self. Does this mean I experience a pain free existence? Not. Even. Close. Does this frustrate the heck out me at times? So. Much. Do I know that the way I choose to feed and move and care for my physical BEing still matters? Abso-f’in-lutely. The reality is that no matter how “perfectly” we support ourselves, life is going to life. Pain is going to appear. I can choose how I interact with that pain at any given time. Sometimes, I need to rest in bed, sometimes I need to move my body, sometimes I need to eat some extra nourishing meals, sometimes I eat potato chips and drink lemon ginger tea to get through a day or two. Life and healing and supporting our whole BEing selves isn’t about strict following diet protocols or doing allllll the things “perfectly”. It’s about doing what we know helps and letting the “results” go. There’s so much about human-ing that is out of our control. And that can feel so scary. I’m learning to lean into the mystery of what life is and what/who I am from moment to moment. To honor my whole BEing self in the ways available to me in those moments. And sometimes that is looking super sexy in this amazing cold pack hat thing while I deal with day 7 of a headache on top of some super “fun” post period/pre ovulation hot flashes and listening to spicy audiobooks or binging shows/movies online. How are you caring for your whole BE-Ing self today?

has such a powerful book alllll about boundaries. I’ve been following her socials for awhile and my Libby App finally had this book available for me to listen to recently. It’s helped me sooooo much in setting clear and kind boundaries. Not to mention helped give me language and a framework for our kiddos to understand boundaries and various ways to set them. Communicating and creating healthy boundaries isn’t easy to learn after 40+ years of not knowing how to. This book has been hugely helpful!

Caution: life will leave you bruised and in pain at various points. BUT, there is also beauty and pleasure and support to be experienced in the very same moment. As Daniel Tiger says, “you can feel more than one thing at the same time”. ❤️‍🩹💖

If you ever have a moisture and/or mold growth problem and your restoration/remediation company recommends using bleach for clean-up, thank them for their time and find a new one! We went through 4 or 5 interviews with well known water/mold remediation companies before we found one that knew more than I do about safely dealing with mold in our home back in Oklahoma. There are currently no regulations for mold remediation companies (as far as I have heard), which leaves room for some untrustworthy characters with bleach and trash bags to come in and take advantage of an overwhelming and scary situation. These companies may overcharge, poorly remediate, not find the root causes of the mold growth, and do work that ends up making the issues worse in the longrun. So be sure to research who does work for you. Your health is worth the extra time and effort.
Sending peace & love, Julie
