Emotional Processing So what does it mean to process your emotions? Or “emotional processing?” This is said A LOT. I think it’s a term that most of us don’t really understand but we know it would be a good thing intuitively. Like exercise, omega three, flossing, more water…(note to self to do all those things). In short, emotional processing is … Read More

Life gets messy. Life gets messy – doesn’t it? With love and loss and life and death. And everything in between. Sadness. Addiction. Depression. Recovery and rising again. None of it comes calm and clear. A million dreams and hopes and just as heavy a dose of reality. Hard times. And sharpe truths. Plans that don’t work out and decisions … Read More

And the moments of such devastation, the pain and loss is endless. And then it’s beautiful once more. The light comes thru the cracks of my soul and the stained glass of my … Read More

Afterwards. The afterwards. In our moments of deepest pain, grief, betrayal, and hurt we do not think about what will come next. The “afterwards”. A hostage in the moment. Time standing still. Caught in the firestorm. Washed over by the wave. A narrowed focus. A nightmare becomes real, and a trauma is lived. But there is an afterwards. After the … 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

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

Under water or on the rise? Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between feeling under water with workload, stress, self doubt and the feeling of coming up for air, cresting the high water mark, and rising above until that moment I realize, “I’m ok again”. That’s because the energy it takes to rise up, resist the default setting and fight … Read More
