As a child, I was always afraid of the dark.

And these days, it feels like we're constantly stumbling through it.

The greatest hope I have is that our lives are full of analogies about how it's always darkest before the dawn.

It's been said a million different ways, because it's so damn true....

NEW ON THE SUBSTACK:
Seeing the Shadows

Yesterday morning felt like walking through a field of emotional landmines. A simple conversation with someone dear to me twisted and turned, and with every curve came another trigger waiting for me.

It might have just been the weight of a hard day—but I could feel each trigger rise up in my body. The difference now is: I noticed. Instead of diving headfirst into chaos like I once would have, I could name what was happening.

Here’s the thing about triggers: once you learn how they move through your body, you can turn them into teachers instead of tyrants.

NEW ISSUE: August Illumine

If you need a little more light to balance those shadows, the August issue of the magazine is all about lingering in it.
​
It's all curated to help you to savor the last weeks of summer. Inside you'll find journal prompts, recipes, diy projects & articles to help you see the sparkle within.

Available in instant download digital or ready to ship print issues.

Playlist: Soft Life

It's Day 10 of 75Soft, and today I just felt like I needed a little more softness flowing through my speakers. This lovely floats through the air and is just so soothing to the soul....

GO ALL IN: Get more support for #75SOFT

I've been teach the art of Soft Living for quite some time now - and the thing I know about this path is that when you have support, you're more likely to succeed.

When I started this, I had no clue so many people would jump on board. But I'm so honored you're doing it with me.

So I have set up a couple of FREE, easy ways you can get a little more daily support.

1. The Free #75 Soft Daily Newsletter: Every morning I'll send out an email with tips, tricks and thoughts for the day. It might be journaling prompts, a water recipe, a meditation video, a playlist - or it could just be musings that pop in mind that might be helpful to you. Just a little support to help you on your quest.
2. Instagram Chat Channel: If you're an Instagram girlie like me (because it's hands down my favorite platform) then I invite you to join the group channel. It's where I share videos I find from other creators, daily check in polls and ask for you to weigh in on where you need support. Think of it as your community hub.

BOTH RESOURCES ARE 100% FREE

Go forth and be soft.... you deserve that!

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
