As Ruby said in last week's newsletter: Life really be life-in', dontcha think?

*you'll notice words highlighted in yellow below: they are some of the themes of the My Self Study Practice - they're highlighted like this to show you how they've show up in real time for me...

Howdy,

Life really be life-in', dontcha think?

Sometimes it feels like: if it's not one thing, it's another.

The typical duties and responsibilities (ie laundry, dishes, groceries, bills, work) PLUS the ongoing curveballs (sickness, injury, accidents, transition, loss) mean that sometimes living...

the Self Study Program is a practice of becoming the person you've always needed.

That could actually be the end of the post!

On an IG live the other day I shared this little nugget that...

Kate and I have been talking a lot about the lie of *READY*. 

Personally, I've never felt ready for any leap in my life... I've just felt a tug and leaned in.

We can't promise you'll...

hiya,  

I wanna keep this short and sweet, so I'm gonna dive right in...

I am so proud to say that in the lives of my clients, friends, and myself, we've really been showing how much we've grown lately! Specifically when it comes to leaning into a new way of being or a brave new...

y'all, I've sat down 5 times this week to write this newsletter.

And here I am, the final hour of the final day of this week, trying again... nothing like coming up on a deadline to get something done.

I've struggled to write a newsletter this week...

Hi there,

Is it just me, or has self help become unbearably boring?

Everywhere I turn it's "7 steps to turning your life around for good" and "75 hard your way to greatness" and literally every imaginable self-help equivalent of the 90's diet culture champion: "nothing tastes...
