You don’t have to figure everything out on your own between sessions 💚

⸻

I’m officially starting my monthly newsletter, and I created it with you in mind.

This is a space where I’ll be sharing:
✨ real reflections on life, relationships, and growth
✨ journal prompts to help you slow down and process
✨ gentle reminders to choose yourself (without guilt)
✨ things I’m loving each month (books, podcasts, music, etc.)

Think of it as:
👉 support between sessions
👉 a moment to pause in your busy life
👉 a space to feel seen, without pressure

If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s used to holding it all together… this is for you.

Every major faith tradition like Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Rastafarianism has some version of the same message: worry less, release what you cannot control, and be intentional with what you can. 2026 is not the year for overthinking. It’s the year of clarity, hope, aligned action, and emotional peace. When you set a goal, write the steps, and act from the center of your circle of control, life opens up in ways anxiety never could. This is the audacity of hope + action.

What happens when 2025 isn’t starting how you hoped? Let’s place a little focus on understanding the Stages of Grief.

Not every year begins the way we envision, and that can bring feelings of disappointment, frustration, or even grief. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about the Stages of Grief and how they can apply to unmet expectations:

1. Denial – “This can’t be how my year is starting.”
You might feel shocked or stuck, refusing to accept things as they are. Give yourself time to process and adjust.
2. Anger – “Why is this happening to me?”
Frustration can bubble up as you think about what should have been. It’s okay to feel this way—acknowledge your emotions without judgment.
3. Bargaining – “Maybe if I do this, things will change…”
You may find yourself negotiating with reality, trying to regain control. Remember, it’s okay to feel uncertain, but don’t stay stuck here.
4. Depression – “Nothing is going right.”
Sadness or hopelessness might take over as you grieve the loss of what you envisioned. Be gentle with yourself—seek support when you need it.
5. Acceptance – “It’s not what I wanted, but I can still move forward.”
Acceptance doesn’t mean you’re okay with everything, but it allows you to embrace what is and take steps to make the best of your situation.

💡 Grief isn’t linear, and you might move back and forth between these stages. What’s important is giving yourself grace as you navigate your feelings and set intentions to move forward.

✨ Remember: A slow start doesn’t mean the year is ruined. It’s just the beginning, and there’s so much time for things to shift and align in your favor.

💛 How are you taking care of yourself as you move through these stages? Share below or DM if you need support.

📺 Stay tuned for tips to help you cope and potentially overcome grief!

How you can help:

Just spent a beautiful morning by the lake, soaking up the sun and enjoying some well-deserved self-care. I brought along my favorite relaxing tunes (Cleo Sol), some refreshing water, and a word search puzzle to keep my mind engaged and relaxed. 🌞✨

Taking time to unwind in nature is so rejuvenating. It’s a reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Just grab a few things that make you happy and head outdoors to get your dose of vitamin D. Your mind and body will thank you! 🌿🧘‍♀️

I encourage everyone to find a local spot and carve out some “me time” this week. Share your favorite low-cost self-care activities below!

Sometimes when we get stressed and overwhelmed it’s because of our attempts to manage things that are truly outside of the “circle of our control”. The "Circle of Control" is a fundamental concept that delves into the realms of personal empowerment and effective self-management. This concept illustrates the idea that in life, we encounter various circumstances and situations, but not everything is within our control. By understanding and embracing this circle, we gain valuable insights into how to focus our energy, attention, and efforts on the aspects of life that we can influence and change.

Do you attempt to make your needs and wants heard, but feel that your requests fall on deaf ears? Try using “I Statements” to assertively communicate your needs. We typically communicate passively, aggressively or assertively. Many times using an assertive approach reduces the likelihood of pushback because we are owning our feelings, providing some insight without making the other person feel attacked or judged for their past actions and shares a clear action plan that we desire. This technique is especially helpful in intimate relationships, friendships, for our relatives and in co-working relationships.
