Look at these beauties that showed up almost a week early!

While I have been pretty quiet online as I navigate this seemingly never ending, super weird grief journey, I have been laying some groundwork as we move closer to the holiday season (how!!!?? Lol!).
While I originally intended on hosting a larger scale event in October to celebrate my 10 year anniversary, losing my Fi derailed that and I have decided to move the celebration to Small Business Saturday!
This years Winter Wellness Bazaar will be the biggest yet and I have already started preparations! Keep an eye out for save the date and details!

In the meantime, I do have availability next week! Book online!

🙏Wellness Wednesday🙏

First, I am overwhelmed and so blessed by all of the love and support since losing my Fiona unexpectedly last week. My new normal is strange and uncomfortable and painful. However, although I am starting yet another grief journey, the love that sweet meatball showed me over the past 4.5 years is immeasurable and I hold it so dear to my heart.

Maintaining our wellness during grief is something many of us are unfortunately all too familiar with. So how? How do we do it? How do we keep up with our wellness journey when we are handling big things? We do what we can. While I am usually the one offering kindness, grace and professional advice, it has been an adjustment to give myself the same grace I would give others.

Since Friday, the humans in my circle have offered me a safe space to cry and grieve and miss my girl. They have fed me, gotten me out of my house, hugged me, and just allowed me to feel the things I need to feel with no judgement. The same thing happened last year when my mother passed away. They stepped in and took care of me when I didn't have the capability to do somyself.

Sometimes wellness is allowing yourself to be served when the world is heavier than you can carry. It is humbling, and hard to do, and so very good for the soul. It is a difficult lesson to learn but the greatest thing that someone said to me after my mother passed was "This is the part where you let the people that love you, love you.". To be able to recognize that we do not have to carry the load alone allows us the space to process and heal from the big things is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Grief is not just death. It is losing a dream job due to budget cuts. Grief is a relationship ending. It is loss. I am currently working on a multi-episode series about navigating wellness during grief for the Get Your Soul Swole Podcast. Grief has delayed the launch. Grace has allowed me to not give up on it.

Wellness is a journey. Not a destination. If you are in a space where your personal wellness is being placed on the back burner, please know that I am holding space for you. I encourage you to do one small thing today. Take a few moments to journal, meditate, stretch something. That all contributes to the wellness. Last night, I kept a previous commitment that I had briefly considered cancelling after Fi passed. Instead, I chose to allow my friends to love me, feed me and soaked in some live music from my high school days.
Sometimes the bare minimum is wellness.

What can you do for you today? Share your go to wellness techniques for when you "just can't" or "don't wanna". ⬇️

My sweetest girl passed away unexpectedly in her sleep last night. Much gratitude for the patience and grace as I navigate this new normal without my best friend. ❤️
Thank you for allowing me to share her with all of you.

Meditation Monday. When was the last time you physically grounded yourself? No, I don't mean like when we were teenagers lol. Although with the technology-dependent world we live in, being stuck in my room with nothing but books and art supplies would be heaven! What I mean is resetting your body, mind, and soul. Walking in the grass....meditating....yoga...whatever it looks like for you to get back to your center.
As I continue to navigate what seems like a never-ending healing cycle, I am frequently reminded of the peace that grounding offers. Every time I take a few moments to check in with myself, stand in the grass, practice my breathwork, pull cards, or do a short alignment, I can see the difference in my breathing, heart rate, mood, etc..
Today, I encourage each of you to take a moment to check in with yourself and find a way to tap in for some solid grounding.
Even a few seconds can help alter our outlook and mood!

Tell us your favorite ways to ground in the comments!

Also! This week is nearly full, with only a couple of available sessions. Book online or reach out to get your wellness on the books! :)

Namaste~
