Weight I know it’s stupid… It shouldn’t matter…. I don’t know why this bothers me so much…. I’m body positive, why do I care? It’s so trivial… But is it? When your life is predicated on daily and often moment to moment unwelcome and obtrusive thoughts about how you don’t measure up, are not enough, are a failure, have disappointed … Read More

My morning with “Mouse” and friends @ridgecountryfarm getting my dose of heart math healing. According to Tauna Bogle “Science says: a Horse’s heart makes a Human heart feel better” “Recent studies conducted by the Institute of Heart-Math provide a clue to explain the “two-way healing” that occurs when we’re close to horses. According to researchers, the heart has an electromagnetic … Read More

Crisis Crisis is the mother of (re)invention of the self. You can’t go back after a crisis because you are changed. But not necessarily for the worse. Did you know that personality is not set? In 2012 academics found as many participants as possible of a Scottish study conducted in 1947 on personality. At the time of the study, participants … Read More

Relationship advice. Here is some free relationship advice (from a human who is in a relationship but routinely gets it wrong, but who happens to read, study and learn on this topic…). So, I’m an “expert” in theory, and struggle in practice, because like you I’m also human with a host of issues and lots of trauma. That said, here … Read More

Interpersonal neurobiology is the study of how our brains and central nervous system are developed through childhood relationships and how these relationships, imprinted into our psyche, impact and influence our neurobiology as adults. It’s been proven that we can co-regulate one another’s nervous systems. I do it everyday with my clients. Influencing cortisol (stress hormones – not all … Read More

Posted @withregram • @cjspennington The Calvary. You are going through hard times. And you reach out to your “Calvary”. You know, those people who come at the ready to defend you and always have your back. Family or friends. They feel what you feel, couldn’t agree more, and validate your feelings. They cry with you. Elevate you. Save you. Tell … Read More

Revolution. The revolution will start internal. When you come to the place where you can hold space. For your truth. For your needs. For your voice. For your age. For your thighs.

On grief. I have learned that somethings I will grieve forever. Loss takes shape in so many forms. Showing up often as an uninvited guest. Some pain we never truly get over or past but rather we grow around it, encapsulating it in our soul. We learn to move forward, despite ourselves. Some grief is laced with guilt and shame, … Read More

We humans. Welcome. To having issues. To making mistakes and then making more. To learning, unlearning and relearning. To failing and succeeding. Succeeding and failing. To joy and anguish. And everything in between. To growing up and growing strong. To wasting time and wasting away. To self doubt and self criticism and self love and self compassion. To intense love … Read More

Dives into 87 emotions and explains them in perfect form. “Language is our portal to meaning making, connection, healing, learning and self awareness”(#brenebrown) Highly recommend this read. Explains connection and the “near enemies” of connection – the things that get in the way of authenticity in relationships. Santa seems to know me…😎 #bookrecommendations #bookreview #greatread … Read More
