As the week winds down, let’s notice the fireflies. A small moment, a quiet win, a breath, a spark of steadiness. What glimmered for you this week — even briefly? You can name one… or simply read along and let it count.

Sorry for the late notice. I had a serious family situation arise and cannot make the call. Be well!

I wanted to drop in with a warm reminder that we’re gathering tomorrow morning for our R4A live — and I’d really love to see you there. 🕘 9am Hawaiʻi 🕛 12pm Arizona 🕑 2pm Eastern These lives are a soft place to land. There’s no pressure to share, no expectation to be “on,” and no right way to show up. You’re welcome to come on camera or stay off, speak or simply listen, stay for a few minutes or the whole time. We’ll be slowing things down, tending to our nervous systems, and creating a little space to breathe together — the kind of reparenting that happens in real time, in real bodies. Also, a quick note on timing: The January time poll is still open, so please vote for what works best for you. I’ll be opening a new poll next week for February times, and your input really helps me make these calls as accessible as possible. If you’ve been meaning to join but weren’t sure if it was “the right time,” consider this your gentle nudge 💛

We’re shifting from numbered days to something gentler here — just Today’s Micro-Habit, so you can drop in whenever you’re here. Today’s invitation is beautifully simple: Do one small, kind thing just for you. It might look like: - Stepping outside and feeling the sunshine on your face - Listening to a song that makes you smile - Lighting a candle just for you (bonus points if it’s a “special” candle you’ve been saving — today is a special occasion ✨) - Making a favorite warm drink: chai, cocoa, Earl Grey, whatever feels cozy Nothing big. Nothing productive. Just a moment of intentional kindness toward your nervous system. This is what reparenting looks like in real life — small, loving acts that remind your body: I matter. 💛

Have you ever noticed your mind rehearsing a whole conversation that isn’t actually happening? This practice was shared with me by my beloved yoga teacher and mentor, Laura, during my yoga teacher training. She talked about our stories — the narratives we carry about who we are (wife, mom, daughter, employee, boss, etc.) — and how they quietly run in the background of our minds. It’s one of my favorite ways to come back to my body and my breath when my mind starts racing ahead. So today’s micro-habit is about interrupting the imaginary conversation. You might notice it when you’re mentally rehearsing and hear yourself: - explaining yourself - defending a choice - bracing for someone’s reaction When you catch yourself doing that, gently say to yourself: “This is an imaginary conversation." “This isn’t happening in the here and now.” That’s it. No fixing. No arguing with your thoughts. Just a soft reminder that you’re here, now — not in a future moment that hasn’t happened yet. Try it a few times this week and notice how it feels to return to the present. 🌿
