We’re allowed to say no.
Even if it disappoints someone.
Even if it’s uncomfortable.
Even if we used to say yes.

Saying no can be an act of nervous system regulation.
An act of honoring our limits.
An act of choosing ourselves—gently, bravely, and without apology.

At first it might feel hard.
But over time, it becomes a kind of homecoming. 🙌🏻

Early on in my group work career, I used to say something so cheesy it became an ongoing joke with many of my clients:
“You’ve got to feel it to heal it.”

And you know what?
I still believe it—with my whole heart.

We live in a culture that teaches us to hold it together, stay strong, push it down, and keep going.
But emotional suppression isn’t strength—it’s survival.

At Sunshine Healing, we don’t pathologize emotion—we honor it.
We name what hurts.
We sit with what’s real.
We feel it all: gently, slowly, without shame.

Because healing doesn’t come through avoidance.
It comes through presence.
Through softness.
Through allowing.

This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about making space for your full humanity—grief, joy, fear, rage, tenderness—and learning how to feel instead of flee. 🫶🏼

✨Sivan is a deeply sacred and spiritually rich month in the Hebrew calendar. This month invites us to awaken our Wise Woman Intuition. Unlike other months that emphasize action or movement, Sivan invites us into a posture of receptivity—to our wisdom, to our intuition, and to the messages that arise when we slow down and listen.

🌙Rooted in Jewish tradition, this New Moon Circle offers a sacred pause—a space to listen deeply, tend our inner landscape, and reconnect with each other and the Earth.

🌙Rosh Chodesh has long been a time gifted to women—aligned with the moon’s cycles and the intuitive wisdom within. You’ll end the evening in closer alignment with yourself and your body, as well as the cycles of the moon. This is a transformative space that can only be created in community!

May 29 | 6:30–8PM | $40

Last week, we gathered under the New Moon of Shvat, embracing the theme of Renewal and Growth.
🌙Shvat is a time to relish the earth’s abundance, to marvel at the quiet resilience of trees as they prepare to awaken from winter’s slumber. This month, we celebrate Tu B’Shvat, the New Year of the Trees, honoring the moment when their inner sap begins to rise, satiated by the nourishing winter rains. The trees pause, absorbing the sweetness before blossoming anew.
🌳And in this way, we too are called to pause. To recognize that deep within, something stirs—a craving for sweetness, connection, and renewal. We are not meant to simply endure but to be nourished, to let the richness of life flow through us like the rising sap of the trees.
🌙Rosh Chodesh is a moment to root into feminine wisdom, to uplift one another, to reach out to the women in our lives when we need support or when we have support to offer. It is a practice of embodiment, of honoring the cycles that guide not just the earth, but our own hearts.

Grief has no roadmap. It’s personal, raw, and sacred to each of us. There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve—only your way. How you process your pain, how you choose to honor your loss, is entirely yours to decide. ❤️‍🩹

This year, let’s make joy our compass. Say yes to belly laughs, messy adventures, twirling for no reason, and moments that feel like sunshine on your skin. Play isn’t just an escape—it’s ✨medicine✨

This isn’t about perfection; it’s about permission. Permission to get it wrong, to have fun anyway, and to let joy be part of the healing process. & remember Play isn’t just for kids; it’s for anyone who wants to reconnect with their soul and rediscover the beauty of being fully alive.

Let’s make it our collective intention to embrace the magic of living fully. 🌟💛

What’s one thing you’re doing to welcome more joy and play in 2025?

The holidays can feel heavy when we’re carrying grief. Whether you’re missing a loved one, grieving a pet, or holding space for loss in any form, it’s okay to give yourself permission to honor your emotions and your needs.

Here are a few gentle reminders to help you move through this season:
🕯️ Talk about your grief. You don’t have to hold it alone.
🕯️ Set boundaries and give yourself space when needed.
🕯️ Honor your loved ones with new traditions that celebrate their memory.
🕯️ Allow ALL your feelings to be valid — sadness, anger, love, and everything in between.

Grief is the weight of love and loss woven together. It holds all the memories, longings, and emotions that come when someone or something we cherished is no longer with us. It’s complex, sacred, and uniquely yours to carry. Be tender with yourself and know that you are not alone.

Sending you compassion and light as you move through this season. 💛
