I Buy Myself Flowers

Happy winter solstice! This is probably one of my favorite days of the year, it's the shortest day of the year if you're in the northern hemisphere, and it's the longest night of the year. I love this day because there are so many beautiful moments of reflection. And as we're leaning into the new year, it's a great moment to pause and reflect. In this episode, I share some key insights and reflections as we look at dark moments and explore the light we want to call into our lives. I also share 3 journal prompts that may help you examine the themes of darkness and light.

As we approach the new year, I want to share a different perspective on preparation, one that doesn't revolve solely around setting goals. In this episode I share 5 things that I've been doing that have helped me to close out 2023 with more clarity and less stress, while also setting me up for success in 2024. 1. Declutter your physical space, including clothes, physical items, emails, apps on your phone, voicemails, text messages, and photos. 2. Throw away expired items in your medicine cabinet, pantry, fridge, skincare, and makeup. 3. Book dentist, doctor, therapy, and eye doctor appointments, as well as other necessary check-ups. 4. Make time for your relationships by prioritizing spending time with loved ones and deepening your relationship with yourself. 5. Lean into self-care by prioritizing hydration, rest, boundaries, and nourishing foods. Also, the doors are open for my 10 week group coaching program - NOURISHED - which will be a great experience for you if you want more guidance, support, and accountability to the goals and desires that you seek for yourself in 2024 to be healthier, happier, and fulfilled.

It's December 2023 and I want to shift our focus from the conventional hustle to finishing the year aligned with our values. Through this episode, I'll share my journey of navigating through times when I felt completely out of alignment, and the profound impact this had on my overall well-being. We often chase goals and milestones, thinking that's what success looks like. But what if the real success lies in harmony with our values? In this episode, I talk about the importance of recognizing when something doesn't feel right and how making conscious choices to prioritize alignment can drastically reduce stress, enhance our relationships, and lead to better decision-making. One of the most moving moments of my life was at a retreat where I had the opportunity to identify my core values. This experience brought me to tears, as I realized these values were not something I'd previously given much importance to. Yet, they were the keys to unlocking a more authentic, fulfilling way of thinking, behaving, and being. If you want to dive deeper into your values and how to live a more nourished life, join me for my NOURISHED 10-Week Group coaching program - click here.

Over the past five weeks, my commitment to practicing yoga at least five days a week has not only sculpted my body but has also profoundly reshaped my soul. The physical benefits, including weight loss and increased strength, have been evident. However, it's the emotional and spiritual renewal that has left an indelible mark on my life. Navigating through a tumultuous period, yoga has become my sanctuary, teaching me to find solace in discomfort. Whether I am contorting into a challenging pose or confronting the ebbs and flows of life, this practice has transformed me into a more grounded, resilient individual, less swayed by external chaos. As I delve deeper into self-awareness, I've come to a profound realization - I am not broken. I am in a continuous state of healing. Recognizing and acknowledging the areas that need mending has been liberating. The strength I've cultivated—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—through yoga has given me the courage to sit with my most trying emotions without feeling inundated. Opening up further, I share a recent discovery: my battle with high-functioning depression. A cloud that loomed over me for two years, making me feel detached from my essence. Yet, yoga has been that beacon, guiding me toward confronting my discomforts and seizing opportunities for growth and healing. When faced with moments of unease, breathe through it. Trust in the process. 

Burnout is more than just a product of a packed schedule; it's a manifestation of the beliefs we hold about ourselves. By addressing these beliefs and using tools like the EDA Model, we can navigate our way out of burnout, leading lives that are fulfilling, balanced, and aligned with our true selves. Remember, it's not about doing more; it's about doing what truly matters.
