Hi ladies. For those of you who have suffered from emotional or narcissistic abuse, I have started a series for education and tools. The first episode is up in the classroom! It is also on my Youtube channel. I do not typically overlap, but this one does double duty for my audience there and all of you who need it. Sadly, this abuse is an epidemic. So many of us have suffered without realizing how it was impacting us. Lot of love to all of you! Here is the Youtube link in case you prefer watching there: https://youtu.be/Dd2fML9g8wQ

Was feeling great, in my element, cool as a cucumber and bam! car gets towed 😒. Now I feel miserable because I needed him and he came to help. Makes leaving so much harder when they do the nice things. 'why' universe 'just why'

As we enter August, it can be so overwhelming. There are so many back-to-school To Dos! So many things add up to a giant pile of busy work. Just here to say, "I see you" to my fellow single moms. It is a lot. Take time for yourself and time to just breathe. Sending you all good vibes. Tomorrow is our first Narcissistic Abuse Support Group. Trialing a morning time. I know this one is early for my west coast ladies, so we may adjust. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts on best times for these and other sessions!

In this week's discussion, I talked about recognizing familiar tactics in new people — partners, coworkers, family, attorneys — without losing yourself in either direction. Sometimes we become hypervigilent and codependent with new people without even realizing it is happening. We might even push people away if they show any similarities with our spouse. On the flip side, new people can fulfill a hunger for some trait or behavior that we longed for in our marriage. This can easily cloud our judgment and result in missing red flags. So this week we talk about how mindfulness can help us identify these scenarios, and how the power of staying focused inward is incredibly important.

Just dropped a new meditation into the calm library. Hope it speaks to some of you the way it spoke to me.
