Your therapist takes her family to metal concerts in her free time 🤘🏻🤍🙏🏻

Practicing what I preach and letting go of the rigid “rules” we can place on ourselves in parenting.

The show started at 7:30… aka bedtime. I had a sitter lined up. Easy choice, right?

But friends were bringing their kids, and I got curious (and honestly… nervous). Took the plunge and canceled the sitter.

Plot twist: their kids got sick and understandably had to bail.
Cue the spiral-do I stay home? Send my husband? Stick to the plan?

We went anyway.

Nap was off. Schedule was off. Everything was “off.”
And it was PERFECT.

Late afternoon nap. Dinner out.
Our oldest was giddy being out past dark. Rocked out and fell asleep on dad’s shoulders.
Our youngest? Thrived in the chaos and loved every second.

They crashed in the car and transferred straight to bed.

My heart is so full. And I would’ve missed all of it if I clung to those rigid “rules.”

Did this spark anything for you?
Any rules you might loosen to let in a little more joy?

Trust me I know… it’s HARD 🤍

The only thing I gained from the Super Bowl last night is the beautiful messaging of love over hate, the importance of having community, and really great snacks.

At the end of the night a special niece of mine drew this. She felt it could be helpful for my clients. 🥹🫶🏻

If you work with me, you may be getting a photo copy of this coming to you.

May you be mindful of what is in your control on this lovely Monday.

Stop scrolling.

How are you feeling? Are you tense in your body? Unclench that jaw. Release your stomach and drop your shoulders. Allow yourself to actually breathe.

While you’re here, let’s check in. Are you scrolling to disassociate? Distract?

I see you and I hear you.

I am also HERE if you’re feeling like it’s time to further explore.

Here is a gentle nudge that that time may be now. Trauma is stored in your body. I wonder what it would be like if you truly tuned in and listened.

Check out the link in my bio and let’s set something up.

If I personally know you, I’m happy to help you get connected to someone! In the meantime, if you could share with someone who you feel may be a good fit- that would be amazing! I genuinely appreciate all of the word of mouth referrals I receive.

I can’t wait to get to know you and see what we can accomplish together.
