Hi Reader, On Tuesday, I asked you a simple but powerful question: What’s one thing you’re doing for yourself this week? Maybe you said, “I’ll drink more water,” or “I’ll rest,” or “I’ll stop feeling guilty for doing less.” Or maybe life got loud, and you forgot to choose anything at all. That’s okay. This is a cue to pause and do something for you now that you still have time. Even if all you do is take 5 quiet minutes to breathe. Or stretch. Or sit in stillness without rushing to the next thing. You don’t need to tick off a list to matter. You don’t need to earn your rest. You just need to remember: You are good. You are enough. You are loved. I watched Tall Girl 2 recently, and it hit me in a soft place. Watching her wrestle with panic attacks, feeling like she had to prove her worth, and doubting if she was good enough, I felt that.

This stuck, frozen state can happen when your nervous system is overloaded and your brain quietly shuts down “non-essential” tasks like emails, dishes… even getting...
This week came with a load of stress 😩. From dealing with unsatisfied clients, creating content late into the night, to sending a debtor reminder to pay me for March work! I was STRESSED! Guess who slumped into stress eating? Me. I had that urge to munch on something even after eating enough food. I had to check myself immediately! Somebody say MINDFUL EATING If you've ever had that snack attack even when you just ate lunch, welcome to the club.That urge to chew something while doom-scrolling...
Hi again 😊, As promised, let’s talk about how to eat slower, because while the idea is simple, breaking old habits isn’t always easy. Me, after one more spoonful of the delicious meal 😩 So here are two gentle strategies I’m trying myself: 1. The 2-Minute Pause Halfway through your next meal, stop for two full minutes. Put your fork down. Sip water. Breathe. Ask yourself: – Am I still hungry? – How is my body feeling? There’s no right answer. Just check in. Here's a little something I love to...
