My summer has been a season of introspection, a routine reboost, and a time of tough feelings. Like many women 35+, my hormone health is loud and begging to be addressed, and when I've looked into what is possible to change within my means, at this time, it's an emphasis on increasing plant diversity in my diet, going to bed at a regular time (this is hard for me), and scheduling time for gratitude.

In thinking about this next newsletter, I have bounced between the practices I’m currently doing . . . but – then I thought, what did my trip gift me? What did 5 weeks of pivoting, between the UK, Spain, Austria, France, and Germany, teach me? 

I write this to you, hours before I step foot on a plane and enter a 1-month portal in Europe. To leave you with something divine, I wanted to share 2 videos that rocked my world last month and continue to imprint on my psyche today. May your May be filled with growth, blossoming, and earthly abundance 🌿

This month’s newsletter is all about potions! January through March hasn’t felt monumental, as the defrosting of my hibernation has taken place. However, what has accompanied this gentle transition are the potions that have made their way to me.

If you have connected with me any time since November 2024, you’ll know I’m currently prototyping and obsessed with Internal Family Systems (IFS). So what is IFS for all of you who ask? It is a therapy/healing modality that works on the premise that all of us have younger parts inside of us.

Happy Friday, the 13th (the day of the goddess commonly feared by the Christian church), and Taylor Swift’s birthday *insert snake emoji here*. This is an introduction to a newsletter I have dreamt about for many moons.
