Hi Everyone!

I really was blown away last week when I reached out to you all saying I needed to hear from you - and lots of you commented on my article. It meant THE WORLD to me! Honestly, my emails take me quite a bit of time to put together so it feels really great to hear back from you all. So please - at the bottom of this post you can comment and like the post - please do so if you find it helpful or inspiring. Any feedback or questions are also always welcome!


Living A Wholehearted Life

As lots of you know I have been going through the goalposts for living a wholehearted life as according to the amazing Brené Brown.

Today I am going to go through the next couple:

  1. Cultivating Play and Rest, Letting Go of Exhaustion as a Status Symbol and Productivity as Self-Worth

  2. Cultivating Calm and Stillness and Letting Go of Anxiety as a Lifestyle

Wow these are big ones! So much to say about these guideposts. If you haven’t read the other guideposts yet:

Below I will be sharing the tools to change your perspective on being busy and seeing it as a privilege instead of a burden; ideas on how to change your beliefs in terms of how external validation vs internal validation; as well as help you understand what rest truly is (and what it is not). Plus I will share some research around play and how to cultivate this into your daily life.
