Hey everyone, I think I’m going through the cocoon/hermit stage of healing, and I wanted to check if this resonates with anyone else or if I’m understanding it correctly. 🌀 Lately, I’ve been feeling super lonely, like I’m in this space of intense self-reflection and stage of transition, but at the same time, I wonder if I’m self-isolating a bit too much. It feels necessary—like I’m shedding old layers and trying to connect with my true self—but some days, it’s really hard to tell if I’m helping or holding myself back. I also feel very lost and sometimes it is hard to remember to have faith. If you’ve been through this stage, I’d love any tips or insights on how to navigate it. How did you balance the need for solitude with staying connected to others? And how did you make peace with the loneliness when it hit hard? Sending love 💛🦋

To all my lovely international friends, In 2025 I am finally going to do the international travel I've always wanted to do my whole life. I am starting to put my travel plans together and I am looking to spend a month or more in Italy 🇮🇹 and then travel from there. I will most likely be on the road for 3-6 months (or more depending on funds.) Please let me know any tips or advice you have for staying in safe and low cost areas all over Italy (in particular Sardinia) as well as other places in Europe (Greece, France, UK) and Egypt (I also always wanted to go to Morocco.) Years ago I had plans to go to Italy and start in the North in Venice and Tuscany, then Florence and Rome then Amalfi Coast... I would still like to see all those places but funds are much lower than they were then. I do have some distant family in neighboring regions so I may be able to visit them as well, but my time is more for me to tap into what Source has for me and write and record. I was thinking of just spending 1-3 months in Sardinia but I don't know how easy it is to travel from there to the mainland and maybe staying some where on the mainland is more beneficial. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Any advice, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼

Lately, I’ve been facing a wave of rejections in my job hunt. As someone who used to be a top-performer and early bloomer, this has been a tough pill to swallow. Things changed when I quit a safe career path in search of freedom and happiness, and now I’m on the journey to find my next step. 🔖 I’ve focused my search on roles in my previous industry, thinking my skills and newfound ability to set boundaries would make me a strong fit. Plus, I need a “bridging” role to transition. But this industry is highly competitive—and sometimes toxic—and all the rejections are making me wonder: Is this the sign I need to make the big change I’ve been avoiding? 🖌️ I’ve dreamed about giving voice to my creativity (even though it feels blocked right now). But taking that leap feels enormous. 💭 While I try to embrace the mindset of “Rejection is redirection,” it’s hard not to question myself: - “What’s wrong with me?” - “What if this never ends?” - “How will I explain this career gap on my CV?” ⏳ At the same time, I recognize the gifts in this moment: the time and freedom to explore, proximity to my family, and space for self-reflection. Yet, I feel stuck. ✨ What’s your perspective on this? How do you navigate moments of transition? And how do you stay anchored in self-worth when faced with uncertainty? Your thoughts might just be the redirection I need! ❤️‍🔥

What is your go to RE-SET practice or tool to release the stress and regain equilibrium? 🌿 Mine is to do introspect or do a deep self reflection session where I uncover, connect and integrate what is calling for attention. I feel restored and more whole afterwards. I was always a contemplative type so use it and share it with others.

Try to understand if people are shaming or insulting or questioning you, basically trying to share negative energy to keep your vibration more equal to theirs- it’s not about you.
