Through love we find our way home 🦋

Often when our society thinks about ‘love’ they think that it only encompasses experiences that feel easy.

However, I’ve felt a love that has completely shattered my understanding of life and the meaning of it. In my ashes emerged something much more significant and profound than that which I had known before that moment.

This is the love I speak of.

That which moves us into something much bigger than our own understanding.

A reflection on showing grace in difficult times 🌿🦋

In this current cancel culture era, it is NOT popular to say “you should consider mending your relationships”

it goes against our desire to be right or be more virtuous than the person we’re in conflict with

however, this behaviour may actually be detrimental to our long term wellbeing

my invitation to you: follow the slides and then take some time to reflect on how you might respond differently

be well,

Many of journeys to emotional well-being often begins with small shifts in our lives 🌿

I’ve learnt from my own personal journey that implementing simple practices over the span of 12 years has opened up my capacity to be more in touch with what I’m feeling (loved, overwhelmed, calm, anxious, etc).

I’ll be sharing a series of simple practices that you might find helpful in implementing into your own life 💚

Be well 🦋

How often do you take time to pause and reflect on your inner dialogue?

It literally dictates the unfolding of your life

As Dr. Gabor Mate once said "It's not what happens to you, it's how you respond to it"

My invitation to you is this:

Take the last few days of 2025 to reflect and simply notice what emerges

There's no need to take action or create any goals, just practice self-awareness (with compassion and love for where ever you might be on your journey)

I'll be sharing short and simple audio recordings to support you

All you need to do is carve a few minutes out of your day and grab a piece of paper or notebook to reflect 🦋💚

If you found this, then you were meant to reminded that you are progressing on your healing journey even if it doesn’t feel that way 💚🌞

Affirmations to reflect on when you’re feeling lost 💚🦋

Far too often, people are simply onlookers, allowing the evolution of the world around them to be left in the hands of others.

Yet if we look at our ancestors, everyone seemed to play an active role in our community.

What might it look like to return to community and reclaim our integral roles in the harmony of our communities?

Let go of the feeling of pressure to become an activist when you’re really a storyteller or community weaver. We all carry our unique roles.

Start small by simply just taking time to reflect this week 🦋

As an American, I feel deep compassion for all of us that may be wondering what will come from this election. There’s a sense of bubbling turbulence that can be felt.

It’s important during this time (and at all moments of chaos and uncertainty) to lean into our true purpose as humans.

Liberation can only come from the joining of our hands. Discovering what roles we each play in ensuring the freedom and joy of all things.

In one of my conversations with an elder from the Lakota Tribe, I was told that honour and responsibility is what held their community together.

How might we explore these values in our local communities?

What might it look like to be honorable in action rather than in theory?
