Have you ever had a time in your life when you kind of just “wake up” from your life and you're like, wait…what?? 😂 Cue, The Life Inventory! Here's where I am…

I'm curious: do you prioritize your mental health? If so, what does that look like? What are your practices? If not, what are you willing to try this week to make your mental health a top priority? Hit reply and let me know!

I know it doesn't feel like it sometimes, but your tenderness is a gift. Your humanness is what breaks you and puts you back together. Don't numb it, don't escape it because that'll only take you further away from life. Feeling is who you authentically are. 

More than anything, this journey has been a constant endeavor of releasing. Releasing expectations that I will ‘figure it out’ and be free of this work one day. Letting go of judgment for how hard worthiness feels sometimes. Releasing perfectionism and being hyper-critical of my journey. And a journey it has been. 

I kept looking around asking, where's my joy? Where'd it go? How can I feel more joy? Can't I have both, healing and joy? Why'd my joy completely disappear? 

The truth is, you can have both. 

It can feel like there is such a gap between where we are now and where we want to be. And within that gap I've personally found immense discomfort, resistance and messiness. Your old life can be relentless. It will come calling, again and again and again and again, schmoozing you to come back to the old rusted lifestyle and dull day-to-day habits. It doesn't matter. We must continue to answer the call to what's possible now. 

Here is my annual birthday year in review where I acknowledge 5 celebrations, 5 lessons and 5 regrets. Enjoy!

When we act from a place of worthiness it can feel unfamiliar and scary and we can be triggered to default back to old unworthiness patterns. Do not abandon yourself in those moments and remind yourself you're worthy beyond measure, even when it's simply asking to not sit by the damn door. 

Loss and grief comes in all shapes and sizes. Have you ever mourned something you never had? How can you mourn something you’ve never experienced? How do you know you’re missing something you’ve never had?

No matter where you are in your life, it’s time to stop holding back. Stop procrastinating and give yourself the green light to start - or to keep going.
