Real Vibes - A Journey of Authenticity & Empowerment

Mental health is not just mental 👏👏👏

When most people think about supporting their mental health, they imagine talking it out on a therapist’s couch, journaling, or doing “mindset work.” All of that is important. I love therapy, I’ve been

❌Myth #9: “If I just think positively, everything will be fine.”
This one can be a hard bite to chew in today’s spiritual culture with so much of the lingo thrown around, but we feel like it’s one of the most important myths to take on.

✅The Real Vibe:
Mindset matters! —but not at the expense of honesty or emotional truth. We need to build capacity to hold space for both our ups AND our downs.

🧐The Deeper Truth:
Not allowing yourself to spiral into despair, bitterness, or self-defeating patterns is a super important part of the healing and growth process. But only being willing to acknowledge positive feelings while suppressing the harder one ends up being emotional bypassing and stops us from being able to move through and release those big harder experiences. So while encouraging each other to remember that there is good in the world, we have to balance it with allowing each other to BE REAL. To feel our feelings and acknowledge them as valid, to express understanding and compassion for ourselves on days when it’s difficult, and to bring authenticity into every space we inhabit.

Toxic positivity can invalidate real experiences. True healing includes optimism and honesty. Facing what hurts, naming what’s real, and finding tools to support ourselves through hard moments is what cultivates real resilience—not forced positivity.

Affirmations:
💛 I trust myself to face the truth with courage and compassion.
🧡My emotions are messengers, and it’s important for me to listen to them and discover what message they are trying to bring me.
❤️I hear you. I see you. I feel you.

Be Real, Besties.

Last week I was diagnosed with ADHD. Not that it came as a surprise to me, I’ve been relatively certain this was the case at least since I was in high school. But I never did anything to try to treat it, just learned to deal with it. 🤦‍♀️

I remember being in school and having to multitask or I would just completely zone out. Most often I read a novel while the teacher was talking, but sometimes I’d doodle or write letters. It was the only way I could actually process what was going on around me and if I didn’t multitask, an entire class would go by and I’d realize I hadn’t heard a word! 📖🌀

I’ve always focused best in short time frames. At home this looks like 20-30 minutes on each task. I’ll do dishes, then read a book, then start laundry, maybe walk the dogs, etc. If I try to do more than this at once, I’ll feel completely overwhelmed and decide I don’t have the energy to do any of it! 🛌😭

With the things I do now being self employed, I’ve been able to manage the ADHD fairly well. But when I had a “normal” job, I would do the same half hour dance—schedule patients, take a walk, send invoices, make phone calls… 🤪

I know a ton of our followers are neurodivergent, so I share partly to let you know you aren’t alone. But also I think there is a lesson in me finally getting a diagnosis.

You see, things have been really hard for me the past year or two. Not sleeping well, constant overwhelm, difficulty focusing, irritability… I have spent a lot of time justifying that this is because all that has been going on in my life. But I also ran across something a while back that said women with ADHD tend to get a lot “worse” when going through perimenopause. So I did some research. And then I scheduled an appointment with a doctor. 🧐

She almost immediately confirmed what I already knew and talked to me about medication options. I had never really wanted to take meds, because I can “deal with it on my own.” And of course I know that we are rarely meant to deal with it on our own. But this is something I had been doing practically my entire life! So it was easy to just say “this is the way I am.” 🤷‍♀️🙈

But you guys, I started the smallest possible dose and I’m not kidding when I say it was life changing! My sleep is better, I don’t constantly wish for a nap, I can focus and I don’t feel like I’m trudging through mud to accomplish every damn thing. Even my kiddo has noticed that I have more patience. 🤯🙌

A friend asked me something to the effect of what did it feel like to not have to just deal with it. I kind of wanted to kick myself. I could’ve been functioning so much better for so long and all I had to do was ask for help! So many times we just need to make a decision and take one baby step to change our lives. But that can be hard to do when you’re too close to something.

Help seeing this bigger picture (for others, not necessarily myself 🤣) is what I do in my individual practice as a coach and what Sundri and I do together at many of our events and classes. We’d love to have you join us sometime! And remember, you aren’t meant to do it all alone. 💖✨

Myth #8: “Setting a boundary is cruel to the other person.”

The Real Vibe:
Boundaries are loving, healthy, and necessary for authentic connection. They are not a weapon to use against other people, what they are is a line for yourself - a way to tell others how you are willing to be treated, and to give yourself permission to step away from situations that do not meet your needs.

The Deeper Truth:
Boundaries aren’t walls to push others away—they’re bridges that show others how to love and respect you. Clear, kind boundaries create safety, clarity, and mutual respect. Saying “no” to what drains you is saying “yes” to your own wellbeing. And that is the only way forward to create a life filled with authentic joy.

Affirmation:
My boundaries are an act of love—for myself and others.

💛✨️ Bet you didn't know you could access healing support from your favorite armchair! Angela is open for distance sessions right now!

Many of you know that I have been looking for a new place to live for a while. I found somewhere amazing this week! It is more expensive than I was planning, but there’s extra space and it’s gorgeous. I would be able to start teaching classes from home again, as well as have an entire room dedicated to Reiki and coaching! 🥳🎉

So… I wanted to share my own gratitude! Both for finding this place and for all of the people that have been supportive of me the last several years. 💗🙏

I would also like to offer something to you, so that I can more easily invest, both in myself and my business. I would really like a little bit of a financial cushion going into this and the amount that I can work at the studio I have been renting is fairly minimal. But I can do Reiki or coaching from anywhere! 🪬🫶

So until the end of July, I am offering 25% 📴 all distance energy healing and coaching!! I know a lot of people are struggling right now anyway and I figure this helps us both out. Coaching can simply be done over the phone and distance healing can be done in a couple of different ways. 🗣️✨

Message me with questions and check the comments for a few other details. 👇💕

You certainly don’t need my permission, but I’m giving it to you anyway. You are allowed to be happy!

I know a lot of people connected with my post last week, but we don’t only want to share struggles with you. It’s equally important to share the amazing things! You deserve to celebrate your wins and for others to be excited for/with you. Not only that, but anything we focus on becomes “bigger,” so let’s call some more fantastic things into our lives! 💖✨

I’ve actually been really excited about moving, even though finding a new place has been kind of a pain in the ass. I love fresh starts! And I’m purging things I don’t need while packing, letting go of the things that no longer serve me in order to make room for the new. 📦🗑️

I’ve started seeing in person clients again and even have a couple of new ones. And by forcing myself to journal, I’ve re-ignited my creativity. I’m also feeling more focused and less overwhelmed. Life is good! 📝🫟

Now it’s your turn. Let’s hear something you’re excited about, something you’ve accomplished recently, or even something you’re looking forward to. We want to celebrate with you! 👏🎉

Myth #7: “Healing means you’ll never struggle again.”

The Real Vibe:
Healing isn’t a finish line—it’s a lifelong journey with ups and downs.

The Deeper Truth:
Progress doesn’t mean perfection. Even after doing deep healing work, you’ll still face challenges—what changes is how you move through them. Healing equips you with tools, awareness, and the ability to return to yourself more quickly and with more compassion. Some days you are going to feel like you've taken a dozen steps backwards, and if that feels frustrating or like you are never going to get anywhere, it is absolutely okay to grieve that! But remember also that like everything else in life, this moment will pass - and it is your goal to keep exploring what is on the other side of 'now' by taking these moments to ground into using the tools and techniques that will help you move forward again. And yes, sometimes that tool is allowing yourself to simply be where you are.

Affirmation:
I honor my healing path, knowing that every step forward counts—even the hard ones.
