Last Quarter Moon - the threshold between Wild Wom

Last Quarter Moon - the threshold between Wild Woman and Wise Woman phase - sending energy down to our roots - introspection, composting, transformation is on the horizon.

Here's a practice that has helped me to move through fear, indecision and anxiety. For me, gratitude has always been the mother of abundance, and the gateway for manifesting in a grounded way. In the last three years, as I have faced some stressful times, I have turned to gratitude as my GUIDE to move difficult emotions.
It all began with having insomnia about one night every three weeks, for some reason. I would lie awake with thoughts churning, and quickly descend into catastrophizing whatever I was worrying about. This would also happen in the day, where I mentally walked myself into a maze of unsolvable life circumstances. Even though I knew on some level that these stories my mind was creating weren't true, I'd go down the rabbit hole anyway.
One time, when my emotional pain level felt incredibly uncomfortable, I got up, lit some candles and decided to try some meditation. Of course that didn't work, because my meditation style usually involves movement. But because it was pitch black outside, I wasn't enticed to go for a walk or dig in my garden.
Instead, I accidentally fell into appreciating the cosiness of our little cottage, my cat's purring, and the light of the candles. I felt so much gratitude that I began to tear up, where just moments before I had been listing all the downsides of our small space, what it cost, and blaming myself for making a bad real estate decision.
Later, and other times, when I consciously unpacked what had happened there - that shift in my thoughts, emotions and even how I felt in my body - I realized that Gratitude could be the pathway to moving anxiety if practiced intentionally. 👇👇👇

In my latest Substack podcast episode, I speak wit

In my latest Substack podcast episode, I speak with Energy Mindset Guide Tia Russo - @_tiarusso - about the therapeutic technique, Parts Work. Tia is expert at explaining what it is, how it functions and is helping clients find inner calm through what is also called, ego-state therapy. Parts Work has been integral in Tia's own path to inner wellness, and shares in a way that brought me to fuller understanding.

I'm so excited for you to listen and if interested, give voice to all parts of yourself.

You can listen on Substak or watch on YouTube, both links in my bio and in stories/highlights.

I was born chatty. Chatty and playful, engaged wit

I was born chatty. Chatty and playful, engaged with friends and adults alike. I sought community and conversation, chasing down anyone who could engage my mind and imagination. I could talk the ear off a donkey, as the saying goes, and often got in trouble for my disposition.

Sorting through memories of myself as a child, I see the path and conditioning that led me toward introversion. I lost the other part of me, the one who loved to engage.

I've had to unlearn, relearn, discover and embrace all parts of me, and reparent my inner child... so scared to be seen and heard.

My latest on Substack. Five ways I've reclaimed my voice and ability to commune. I may be some parts introvert, some parts extrovert, some parts unknown. And I love the beingness of me.

Can you relate?
