January asks us to set goals and move forward, but what if we focused on returning instead? What does it look like for you to begin again...without pressure, without perfection?

We’re gathering in a few weeks for Again and Again: A Resolution to Return, and there’s still space if you’d like to join us.

We’d love to hear from you in the comments.

Self care isn't always bath bombs and face masks. Sometimes it's messy and vulnerable, sometimes it's hard and challenging, and sometimes it doesn't always look how we think it "should".

As January arrives with a swirl of “shoulds", pressures, and expectations for what goals to set and what resolutions to make, we invite those looking to begin again, again.

Again and Again: A Resolution to Return is your space...to reconnect with yourself and your intentions, to be witnessed and encouraged by others, and to reimagine the practices of self care that nourish and sustain us time and time again.

Are you ready to join the resolution?

Listening…. Attuning… tuning in… tuning IN. Our hearts are starving for this. I am HUNGRY to sit in circle with others who feel the call as deeply as I do- or who don’t feel the call, but feel its lack. Let’s witness each other. Let’s be a part of creating a space where each of us gets to honor what is deeply true, honor it simply because we can feel its truth in our bodies, can savor the experience of that resonance through our bones.
I’m so excited to be offering this group. I feel so very blessed to have had the experience of being well witnessed by others in my life: mentors, teachers, friends, beloveds. I feel so blessed to be well supported to delve deeply in myself and learn what TRUTH feels like. There’s nothing I would more like to offer than a space for others to have these experiences. This is nothing short of MAGIC. It’s nothing short of revolutionary.

SPACE… to slow down… to actually find yourself HERE in this moment. Space to find yourself at all, underneath the layers of the one-who-is-doing-the-thing-and-then-the-next thing. Space to come into actual real, juicy, nourishing contact with yourself. Space to be with the questions, the longings, the persistent knowing that there’s something deeper that’s calling you.
This is my offering with this group. This group is what is coming through me as I am in my own process of honoring my own deepest questions and longings.
If you’re like me and finding yourself asking “if not now, when?” If you also have the intuition that it’s all just too urgent not to slow down, find and CLAIM the space to step away so that you can better know which battles are yours to fight, so that you can OWN in your heart what is yours to do, I would like to offer you a space.
Questions? Interest? A subtle, but undeniable tug that now is the time? I’d love to step into this space together with you.

Your heart needs holding
Slooooow down. Even more.
Even more.
Listen to what your body is telling you. Your heart is your home. It wants to be loved. It's been carrying so much that is not its to carry.
Feel the heaviness. Not from a place of self-pity or victimhood.
Honor the effort. Honor the good try that was the decision that that was the thing to do.
Cut it free so it can be light.

How do I do that? How do I cut it free?

Release it from the expectations that aren't yours. As Mary Oliver said, you do not have to be good. You do not have to crawl on your knees across the ground.
You do not.
Truly.
People care so much less than you think they do.
Your good student self is killing you. It is sucking the life from you: your vitality, your good, important caring.
Your caring.
A precious, precious resource not to be strewn about, but wielded with fierce discernment. Wielded in devotion of your good, good heart. Your precious caring. The service that is yours to do.

Release all that is not yours to hold, so that you may hold closer that which is.

ACCESSIBILITY.
Undeniably, this is an important and necessary ideal to strive for. In terms of how I am thinking about it today, of course I want what I share and how I present myself to be accessible. I want others to understand the essence of what I’m trying to communicate. In this venue, I also want others to see me as someone who might be trustworthy and competent enough to be of service to walk with them a little or a lot on their journey.
I just think I may have overshot.
I think about the process of writing copy for my website (for similar activities see: stabbing oneself in the eye with a fork, listening to a symphony of nails on the chalkboard or trying to get a two year old to brush their teeth when they’ve decided that THAT will be the hill upon which they will sacrifice their heroic hearts that particular night).
I wanted to write what was in my heart. I wanted to tap into what was my deepest longing to offer to my fellow humans and offer it on the page (screen). Once again, of course I want it to resonate, to even just make sense to others, to a broader audience so that people will read it and think: yes, this a human I want to put my faith in and give money to to provide a meaningful service for me.
The curiosity I’m holding now, though, is at what point does the potency start to leech away? What if by overshooting, the people for whom those words really are aren’t getting to receive the fullness of what they might otherwise hold for them?
So that’s part of this challenge for me in this Facebook-posting-echo-chamber-experiment. What if I risk being not for everyone in the hopes of getting to more fully be for a select few? What if I risk being judged, being seen as too self-important, too wordy, too… I don’t even know, but as someone who’s always tried to go for pretty much just right with everything, whatever comes after that third “too” is no good.
What if I risk putting my words out there uncensored from how I am receiving them from my heart in the hopes that they reach even one person for whom they offer a balm, a reassurance, an insight, an inspiration?
It is with this spirit, that I offer this up today.

As a therapist with my own private practice, I find myself working with the idea of “putting myself out there.” Asking questions like “how am I going to put myself out there so potential clients can find me?” It’s always felt like a necessary evil and like something which required me to overcome my resistance against it again and again to just suck it up and do it. Can’t I send just them telepathic messages or something?? Nope.
Sigh.
So the other day it occurred to me to sit with the question of what I really mean when I think about this idea of “putting myself out there.” I realized part of the reason it feels problematic is that in a lot of ways, that’s something I’ve always done: put myself out there to see how other people are doing things so I can know the “right” way to do things, put myself out there to see how others are showing up so I can bend and shape myself to seem more like them and therefore ensure acceptance and belongin. It’s not that this is an unuseful skill set. We have evolved as profoundly social creatures who are born with an incredibly strong drive to do just those things to understand how to do this whole humaning thing. It’s important! Vital to survival in fact.
When it’s done at the cost of staying connected to my own center, though, it’s problematic.
So what does it mean to “put myself out there” while also staying connected to my own center? If I don’t want to put myself out there, what is it I actually DO want to do?
I want to make myself known.
I want to make myself accessible.
I want to offer myself in a way that feels deeply aligned with my center.
I want to get to feel unapologetic about what I’m offering because I feel and know deeply that it is mine to offer.
I want to be of service and in communion with humanity through my service on the largest scale that is truly mine in this moment of soul’s truth to reach.
And low and behold, no resistance to any of those!

In service of putting all of this into practice, I am creating a challenge for myself. For the first time ever, I will be posting regularly on my private practice page. Specifically, I am committed to posting 4 times a week for the next 4 weeks (with today as a bonus- since its Friday and the first day of the month, seemed like a good day to get it rolling!) I’ve even got the gorgeous human who’s helping me a bit with the whole marketing thing holding me accountable so I don’t chicken out!

So here we go!
