Last night I attended the 39th annual Golden Apple Teacher Awards here in Fort Myers - an evening dedicated to honoring excellence and education in the incredible impact teachers have on our community. 🍎

Over 1500 educators were nominated this year… A powerful reminder of how many lives are being shaped every day in our schools by outstanding professionals who truly care about our students.

This event was especially meaningful to me, as I was honored to receive the Holden Apple Award in 1999 - and remain the only school counselor to have been selected in the programs history.

What stood out most to me last night was the shared message from educators: the importance of creativity, emotional safety, the arts and supporting the whole child’s development in the classroom.

congratulations to all of the Teachers of Distinction, Finalists and Winners.

Our teachers are doing extraordinary work during complex times- and they deserve to be seen, support, supported, and celebrated.

I have such deep respect for the educators who continue to do this work with care and commitment, even a mid real challenges. Teachers do meaningful work every day under increasingly complex circumstances. 💛

Reminder…. Consent is NOT implied.
Not in relationships. Not in marriage. Not ever.

Consent must be clear, informed and ongoing.

Consent requires awareness, choice, and safety.

Being in a relationship does NOT mean equal permission.

Silence, pressure, impairment, or states of sleep or unconsciousness is NOT consent.

If someone is being manipulated, coerced or impaired, consent is NOT present.

The recent reporting by highlights something deeply disturbing. There are places where harm is being planned and normalized.

Let’s be clear… Drugging or coercing someone removes consent entirely.

That is assault... Full stop.

If this brings up something for you, I see you.

What happened to you matters.

You are not alone. There are people who understand. Support exists when you are ready and if you want it.

If you need to talk to someone confidentially, you can reach out to RAINN at 800–656-HOPE.

There are trauma informed, body – based approaches that can help you move through this, slowly and safely.

With this new moon in Aries, we have seven planets in the sign of Aries! This truly unique, once in a lifetime situation has not happened in recorded history.

While each planet has its special area that it wants you to work on, the general message is “it’s go time”.

It’s time to interrupt the patterns that are not working for you.

It’s time to change your identity so that you’re more aligned with your true purpose.

It’s time to stop playing small.

It’s time to sharpen your focus.

It’s time to shift onto the timeline that you’re really wanting to play.

It’s time to let go of your fears.

It’s time for you to choose how you really want to live your one precious life.

Work with the energy of the seven planets, all located the fiery sign of Aries, to acknowledge with gratitude, all of the challenges you’ve conquered and of exactly where you are right now. Use the momentum of this time to get serious about where you want to go next.

Your next move is an important one.

This week we have all experienced what is called a “collective trauma”. Whether you pay attention to politics or not, the news coming out of the White House that an entire civilization was going to be wiped out had several of us on pins and needles. Existential dread, fear of a world war, shock, horror, deep worry, and anger are just some of this emotions that have been reported to me this week… And it’s only Tuesday.

Yes. There is chaos in the world. Chaos in our leadership. Chaos in the realm of human rights. And many of us are experiencing chaos in our personal lives, our finances, our relationship or careers.

One definition of Chaos describes a situation that is in complete disorder without structure or direction. This kind of chaos is unpredictable, disruptive and can be scary.

Another definition of chaos offers some more hopeful definition. Chaos can be reframed to be a state of change in which great creativity, growth and innovation can emerge.

As in the medieval system of tarot cards, a sense of chaos is represented when “the tower“ card is pulled in a reading. When an ending is imminent or needed, we might react to the disruption or feeling of powerlessness that can occur. However, if we can stay discerning instead of reactionary… Grounded, instead of anxious, or creative instead of fearful, we can navigate any changes in our systems.

Seems like this is one of those times where we need to make a choice.

It is Aries season… A fiery beginning of our new zodiac year. Astrologically and globally, it is a time of great change. We may feel that in our personal life.

You can be discerning. It will be easier to decide your direction if you are nurturing yourself, staying well nourished, getting enough sleep, breathing deeply, utilizing somatic practices, such as yoga or tai chi, enjoying music, dancing, singing, or creating something brand new. For me, painting, practicing yoga, journaling, and being in nature help me to stay grounded during troublesome times.

How are you managing Chaos in your life? Is it working for you?

It’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself here.

I’m Stacey, a transpersonal therapist with over 33 years of professional experience in the field of clinical psychotherapy, education and somatic healing practices.

I help people heal trauma, address burnout, and navigate life transitions - including the process of reinvention.

My approach is integrative and whole-person, blending psychology and Brainspotting with wisdom traditions, such as yoga, Ayurveda, meditation and spirituality, along with creative expression.

This space is where I share education, perspective, inspiration and resources for healing and growth.

Healing is not linear, and it’s not always easy - but it is possible. I believe that healing is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to who you are.

I’m glad you’re here.

If you’ve been here for a while, thank you. If you’re new here, welcome.

This week‘s full moon in Libra during Aries season highlights the importance of our relationships.

Yes, it can be an encouragement to examine our intimate relationships. But it also can be a great time to examine our relationship with ourselves, our relationship that we have with our lifestyle, our relationships with food, our work, our spirituality, our creativity or our life in general. We have relationships with many things. The full moon shines the light on these relationships to ask if our relationships are in harmony? Are these relationships working for us? Does something need to change?

This is not necessarily a time for urgent action. It’s a time to examine relationships that we have with compassion and gentleness. If changes are needed, then certainly changes can be made. But in the meantime, just observe what is. Notice the beauty and the details in exactly what is going on at this moment. Just notice what’s blooming in your life’s garden. Observe and contemplate.

These photos were sent to me by someone I know who is an Aries and is a master gardener. The photos are taken of the same flower just one day apart this week.

There is beauty in every stage of our blooming life. What is blooming in your life’s garden?

I’ve been painting a lot lately. I’ve been contemplating my own life, the state of the world, and the stories that I’ve heard from my beautiful clients. Painting is nourishment for my own soul, and it brings me immediately into a grounded state of presence.

Remember this… You are a precious, precious soul.

In this life, you have had many trials and tribulations, challenges and heartbreak, grief and joy. There have been moments that have been so incredibly beautiful and powerful that it took your breath away. And there have been moments that have been so incredibly horrific and painful that it took your breath away also.

Take some time this week and honor yourself and your journey.

Many that I’m working with currently are right in the thick of it, doing the best they can to manage so much. Honor this life that you have. Appreciate the challenges and obstacles that have shown up for you. Have gratitude for the many gifts and experiences that have shape shaped you and guided you through the years. you have survived at all.

Love on yourself extra big this week.
Love all the parts of you… The child parts, the aging body parts, the fragile parts, the courageous parts, the imperfect parts, the fearful parts and the adventurous, hopeful parts

Add moments of joy to your life every day. It’s what’s going to help keep us in balance and keep us going. In addition to nourishing your body, moving your body, taking time for stillness, hydrating and protecting your sleep, find something that engages your senses in a delightful way.

Allow yourself to embrace joy. Know that life moves like a wave. Cultivate patience. Be fully present and feel it all.

Happy Zodiac Nee Year! It’s the start of Aries season… New beginnings and forward movement. It’s so interesting that the new year coincides with Mercury leaving retrograde and moving direct and the Spring Equinox. Whew!

For those who have experienced delays, heaviness, challenging emotions, sadness, and overwhelmed, take note. You may feel some relief as we move forward from here. Today, know that the lightness and the darkness are in balance.

As Emily Dickinson said, “A light exists in Spring”. We all have a steadiness and a light deep inside of us that helps us with renewal despite disturbance. True strength comes from patience, stamina and healing that can carry us beyond despair, dark times and the projections of others.

Spring offers the inspiration and reminder of this predictable, unbreakable, renewable vast resource of light within us.

do something today that reminds you that the seeds that you have planted well soon emerge. Something to help you get grounded in hope. Something that gives you a sense of renewal.

Wear a beautiful color today that brings you joy. Put your hands and feet on the Earth. Plant new flowers or bring flowers into your home. Go outside, breathe deeply and look around at nature. Listen to music that brings you joy and moves your body with delight. Paint something or create something that never existed before. Lita candle and journal. Noticed your mindset. Set some goals to shift your mood even so slightly. Accept support from others. Smile. Ask for help if needed. Remember who you are.

Be especially kind to yourself. There are so many challenges ongoing in the world right now and the astrology is winding up several cycles. The timing is right for miscommunication, self-doubt and discouragement.

As we approach the new moon and the spring equinox, focus on your growth, nurturing yourself and remembering your truth. Honor the amazing path that you have been on and be curious and excited about what is yet to come.

The integrative counseling practice that I offer includes support for the mind, body and spirit. Integrative counseling utilizes several techniques for your personal support and wellness including traditional talk therapy with CBT, holistic somatic practices, nutrition and lifestyle support and specific trauma healing with brainspotting.
