Happy Friday. Hope that beautiful full moon and lunar eclipse last year treated you well ♥️ Today - choose to honor your peace!

Quick little stop in Richmond on the way to DC. We went down to the canal walk and I saw this incredible painting on one of the buildings. It looked so incredibly real ♥️

Yes, things do change in midlife. You start prioritizing things that support your well being instead of the things on some societal script you didn’t even write. ♥️

We have a complicated relationship with the different types of rest. We go go go into we drop. Then we feel guilty about “having to” rest. We must mist MUST refine our relationship to rest to one of basic essentials for living a joyful life. We must be able to choose rest without guilt or fear of letting someone down. We must be able to choose and communicate rest without guilt having to have “an excuse.” When we rest, we come to our most important, purpose-driven work with more openness, more capacity for complexity, and more joy. Let it be so! ♥️

It’s a sign 🦋
Saw this beauty on my walk yesterday!
Happy weekend!

A lot of people think self compassion means not holding yourself accountable and others think that they need to speak harshly to themselves to get things done. I don’t know about you but I’m super motivated by a voice that understands the complexity of my life, tells me to rest when I need to rest, and then tells me Ive got everything I need to be unstoppable. ♥️

I’ve been nursing these beauties back to health this summer and look ♥️♥️♥️

Self care is more than recovery practices. Yes - we need those too but the more we think of self care as a practice of tuning in and asking what it is we need to feel and act in alignment with our values, the better able we are to show up authentic in our leadership. Yoga is a self care practice for me, but because it creates the space for these questions, to wrestle with what shows up on the mat and in my mind instead of avoiding. ♥️♥️
