When Self-Sabotage and Hormones Collide
Have you ever started your day with the best of intentions, and a clear plan of action, only to find yourself down a deep rabbit hole that has absolutely nothing to do with what you were attempting to accomplish? Combine that with a large serving of PMS and a dash of perimenopause, and you have […]

Space Matters: Create a boundary around your workspace
Continuing with the theme of space, this week I’m thinking about physical space, and how it can affect mood, focus, and general well-being. I’ve noticed that, when it comes to my workspace, having a clear physical boundary around it is just as important as having a mental boundary. In fact, they compliment each other! Since […]

The Grace of Space
Time and space can seem especially scarce when you need it the most. However, it’s closer at hand than we often realize. The smallest amount can make a huge difference in our outlook and well-being.

The Body Talks

And just like that…
Sometimes, you have to jump through all the hoops that travel currently entails, get on a plane, and be with the people you love, in person. Technology may aid in connecting us across distance, but for me, there’s something that simply cannot be achieved in the same way as sharing physical space with another human. […]

Listen instead.
What if, when emotions are high, when you feel wronged, when you want to lash out or prove a point, you listen instead? The art of listening — no matter how skilled you consider yourself — is so much harder when you feel betrayed or simply disappointed. This is especially true in love relationships, whether […]

What Really Matters?
After being on a roll with a biweekly cadence, it’s been almost 4 months since I last posted on my blog. Even though I didn’t say anything about it, that was a conscious decision. I love to write and this avenue of communication is important to me. But for the last 4 months, it wasn’t […]

How a chicken rescue transformed my self-care
The title of this post is not click bait my friend. I did indeed participate in rescuing a chicken over the weekend, and the process revealed an important blind spot in my own self-care: my resistance to reaching out for help for me. Here’s how it all went down. Last week, while walking my dog, […]
