Nourishing to Thrive

Slowly figuring out what kind of plants I want at our new place. Pockets of color and pollinator friendly plants plus herbs, veggies, and fruits are in containers surrounding our new home. Just because you rent and don’t have much space to work with doesn’t mean you can’t grow things in a beautiful way that supports biodiversity in the local ecosystem! 💖

For the last couple months I have been reacquainting myself with the new version of the Restore Your Core program and, more recently, the first module of the RYC Teacher Training materials. Y’all. I’m so excited to be able to be in this years student cohort! Grateful for and her incredible RYC teacher training staff. Looking forward to “meeting” my fellow students and the teachers as we learn and grow together! And I look forward to using what I learn to support myself, my family, and anyone who is interested in engaging with what I learn! Sending peace and love, Julie

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!
