It’s been a tough week, friend.​
The kind of week where everything else fades into the background, because real life shows up at your door with big emotions and soft, aching grief.

We lost my mother-in-law a few days ago, just a year after losing my father-in-law, and the sadness has been sitting heavy in my bones. I haven’t been tuned into the news or the noise, because our own family loss has taken up all the space.

And if I’m honest, my nervous system has been hanging on by a thread.

So if you’ve also been feeling tender, overstimulated, or like you could cry without warning - you’re not broken. You’re human. And your sensitivity isn’t a flaw. It’s your body’s way of asking for care.

A little something to help you breathe again

This is one of my most popular Instagram posts of all time. It's a little guide full of real, grounded, witchy ways to regulate your nervous system when everything in the world feels like too much.

🌿 In case you missed it: Rooted & Ready Series

Peace doesn’t always come from stillness.

Sometimes it comes from being prepared.

If you missed the start of my Rooted & Ready series, this is your sign to take a look.
It’s soft prepping for sensitive souls... centered on ancestral wisdom, not fear.

Playlist: Fairies + Folklore

Each month in Illumine, I create a playlist to match the theme.
And because I think we can all use an extra dose of magic this week, I’m sharing it with you as a little sneak peek.

Fairies + Folklore is pure enchanted calm... dreamy, earthy, and spell-soaked in the best way.
Let it soothe your spirit while you rest, cry, clean the kitchen, or wander barefoot in the garden.

Mantra for the week:​
​My calm is sacred. My breath is magic.
I am allowed to rest before I rise.

Sending you a deep exhale and a big-ole-bear hug. You are not alone.

Love you.
Mean it.
Big time.
xoxo,
