Here's a cat for you. Because CATS and also because Monday.

It's Miu (pronounced Me-you), and she's a 15 year old catten - which is basically a lil' old lady cat cosplaying as a kitten.

I've not been posting much lately because I'm hard at work behind the scenes reviewing my business operations & offerings, rebuilding my membership & website on new platforms (not planned but necessary), and focusing on a family priority.

But I just want to make it extremely clear:

I stand with Minneapolis.
I will protect my neighbors and anyone in my community.
I will protect the constitution and democracy so that one day freedom, justice, and basic human rights will apply to everyone equitably.

If you want to see more of my politics, I post a lot more about it on public on my personal page than I do here - BUT you should know the values of your healing support persons. You can follow me or look me up there or just chill on this page (or IG, YT, or TT) but understand that I don't accept friend requests from people I don't know irl.

My hope is that the new year is filled with abundance in all the ways you need it.

I don't make New Year's resolutions because they don't work for me, so I don't put my time and energy into them. I prefer to put my time and energy to things that work for AND with me...though sometimes that involves figuring it out as you go.

When you notice it's not helpful, approach it differently!

So that brings to mind some questions you can ask and answer yourself if you're wanting to approach 2026 differently than past years so you can get new outcomes.

First, get centered. Close your eyes, focus inward. Notice any thoughts, feelings, or sensations... Notice with curiosity instead of assigning meaning or judgement.

Take a few comfortably deep breaths... inhale * pause * exhale

Answer these questions with the first thing that comes to mind:

1️⃣What did you learn this year?

2️⃣What are you willing to set down or leave behind to make space for new outcomes in the new year?

3️⃣What version of you do you wish to create in the new year? What do you do, think, feel? How is your life different?

4️⃣One last question because it is my favorite questions, though it may be somewhat redundant to add but idc... What do you want more of in the new year? What do you want less of?

The last question is my favorite because it simplifies and clarifies what you should move toward and what you should move away from so you can respond in new ways when you notice you're getting more of the stuff you don't want.

If you need a little help with this practice, I'm happy to help. Comment or DM me so we can chat about what you need!

Happy (all the) Holidays to each and every one of you...

12/19/2025

The holidays can carry with it some heavy or intense emotions. Here's your gentle reminder that you can (and it's okay to) feel more than one way at a time. You can feel heavy with sadness and grief of those you've lost while also feeling joy for those you get to spend the holidays with. You can be struggling with depression or anxiety and while also doing holiday tasks. You can be doing and feeling multiple ways and though it sometimes feels confusing or conflicting, there is no shame in it - only humanness.

Whatever the holidays are for you, or whatever they bring up from deep inside of you, I send you love and acceptance in hopes that it will help you give yourself the same...

This kitten's for you!

Repeat after me:

I am a fu***ng awesome person who has dealt with so much s**t and I have made it through it all and am still cute and smart and funny and nice and intelligent and I kick ass.

YES, YOU - say it like you mean or say it until you mean it, whatever it takes because you've already survived and you deserve some gentleness, acceptance and love - so give it to yourself right now!

You really do kick ass. You deserve to FEEL that good about yourself every.single.day.

I'm having coffee in my newest mug this morning, which is available via the link in my bio should you want to be matchies 😸

I'm also sporting a new 'do, I chopped my hairs just above my shoulders and I'm LOVING HOW LIGHT IT FEELS 😻

It's that time of year to self-reflect on what you DON'T want to take with you into the New Year...what you want to focus more on and what you're ready to let go of.

This can be as simple a thing as the weight of your hair, which I was ready to let go of for sure! It can also be more complex things such as behavior, thought, or emotional patterns. Or things like being stuck in survival mode, stressed out all the time, creating a certain outcome you desire, or achieving a goal.

So, what do you want MORE and LESS of in the New Year? I'm absolutely NOT talking about making resolutions, instead I'm talking about GAINING CLARITY to create more awareness so you can choose to move towards and align yourself with the things you want more of more consciously and move your attention away from the things you want less of as much as is possible.

Clarity creates more self-awareness, and self-awareness is not in and of itself healing or transformation but it opens up the doors and windows to both.

This is an important point - especially if you struggle with clarity about what you feel, think, want, need, etc. - it's important to understand that when you're stressed, in survival mode, triggered, or dysregulated it is very difficult to have or achieve clarity because all your body/mind's resources are going toward surviving/coping. It's NOT something to blame yourself for, in fact it's a sign your nervous system needs more support and sense of safety/rest.

Want to learn how to support your nervous system into being able to self-regulate so you can reduce stress, sleep better, digest better, feel better, heal better, and have more clarity and focus?

Follow me for opportunities to learn and be supported in the new year!
