Hey there, I have a proposal:
LET FRIENDSHIPS BE FRIENDSHIPS AGAIN ✨

Do you sometimes leave your interactions with your friends feelings kinda... Unfulfilled? Misunderstood? Unseen? Unheard?

Here's a big question for ya: What do you expect your friends to DO for you?

In other ...

Eww we're in the theme of Boundaries in the 2023 Self Study Program.

This is the 3rd year of the Self Study Program and every year I get a new challenge around boundaries. It feels like the universe keeps gently up-leveling my need for boundaries. I'll get some cute practice, a...

Hey there,

For as long as I’ve been seeing my therapist, we’ve been stuck on repeat. Seriously, since Spring 2019, it’s like a broken record 80% of the time: schedule, calendar, energy, and the never-enough-hours-in-the-day saga. My schedule isn’t just a topic—it’s my confidant...

Part of what My Self Study Practice has taught me over the years is what, explicitly, am I feeling. The specificity of knowing how I feel has helped me actually feel my feelings instead of reacting to them and letting them hijack my behavior.

This feels really empowering ✨

Storytime with Ruby

Have you ever experienced a week where the Universe seems to be sending you a constant, powerful message?  That's exactly how my week has been - a series of events and conversations with a singular, common theme.

If I were to distill the essence of this message from the Univers...

yes, there's a point...to your dreams, your fantasies, and the things you long for ✨

So in my email a few weeks ago I shared that I'm writing a weekly love letter to my last week's self and my next week's self.

I'm loving this practice.

And when I wrote my letter to last week...

It's helpful to look back and see how it's all worked out.

I've been exceptionally reflective lately, contemplating the choices I've made along the way and how they have led me to where I am now. How those choices shape the path to my future. This introspection has brought a lo...

Well, I was on the internet the other day and I was actually hit with a post where I was like... Yes. Immediately yes.

I don't know if you know this about me, but I recently took some much needed time away from instagram. When it was happening I was like, "this is it! This i...

It could be better.

My heart's racing.

I step into the bathroom and close the door behind me. I put my hands on the counter to stabilize myself so I don't buckle to the floor.

Ok.

Resolve washes over me like a tidal wave.

Oh, shit. Shit shit shit shit shit.

I look up into ...

Y'all, I had a little growth moment the other day!

One of my favorite things about My Self Study Practice is that, consistently, for a decade, I've witnessed myself show up differently. Of course it happens in big moments - when I make big choices to do something big. But WH...

As of yesterday Jake (my husband) and I have lived in Colorado for 500 days. My favorite parts about being here are our apartment mountain view and having my sister as my neighbor.

Being somewhere new takes time to acclimate, but I'm not sure I'll ever get used to people at the...
