Last night while on the phone with my other half, she helped me talk about my anxiety, allowing me to feel comfortable enough to share some doubts and worries about some sudden changes in my life. Afterwards, I felt freer. Something shifted in me, not just the anxiety but a certainty that the work I had done for years was paying off. In the spiritual, self-help, shadow work communities, we're always talking about doing the work, and sometimes we do not see the results until years later. Often, when we are no longer in those communities and we have room to breathe. This morning, I went for my usual walk but this time with a little more energy behind each step. I realized that although there was this anxiety lingering, this grasp it had on me was greatly lessened. This obstacles are really opportunities under the mask of doubt and fear. With every turn of the circle I walk, I realized I do have everything I need to move forwards and that a Shift in Perspective is enough to free your mind. Let go of the things you cannot control, double down on what you can.

Before you start your day, it is a good idea to meditate and reflect on the thoughts and ideas that come pouring through when you wake up. Record, write and document whatever it is, and free yourself from anything that will linger. Give yourself some room to breathe, and maybe even sit in a meditative fashion focused on the breath. Even if that means over your cup of coffee/tea. I would also recommend some kind of movement, walking, stretching or even a full workout. This really sets the tone for the day and gives you more energy that will last. If you're spiritual, the morning is sacred. This is your chance to get ahead of the day with setting your energetic boundaries. Even if you're not, or you follow something specific, this is your chance to put more repetitions into that practice. The simple breakdown is journal, meditate and move. Journal to free your mind. Meditate to still the mind. Movement to energize it! Good luck and have a great start with your week.

If you're like me, you have probably been in and out of different circles, communities, etc. Always finding a home briefly somewhere but never permanent. Over time, you realized home is wherever you are, whatever you believe it to be, so no matter how far you wander, home is right there. Part of the idea for the Wandering Wolf community, was born from that. Some how you wandered into this community, whether by invite or through luck, yet the fire is still lit for those who need a moment. To recalculate, to breathe, to learn and grow. Introduce yourself, take a second to find a post or video you like, leave a comment and lets grow this together. Remember we may wander but we are never lost!!!!

I wanted to wait a couple days to share how I have been feeling about hitting my goal of twenty episodes for the Wisdom Wednesday series. Really sit with this realization that I did it. 20 weeks, 20 Episodes. I set this goal on a random day, with a random idea to just speak about my adventures, experience and all I have learned along the way. I never thought I would actually commit to it. At least not without a break. Episode 20 was almost the one I thought I would need a week to take off for. I started dealing with some tooth pain and other issues that made it hard to talk, but after medicine and taking my time, I pushed through. Pushing through the pain to complete the goal was eye opening. It made me realize how important it is to stick to the plan, be consistent and when you don't know if you can go on, remember the bigger picture. There was no magical formula or secret knowledge to it, just showing up every week, and getting that bit of wisdom/content out. Words had to be shared and spoken. So, my question to you, what are you going to keep committing to in 2026? Where do you think you need to keep showing up?

It has been quite the journey to record everyday for 20 weeks! So todays episode talks a little bit about the journey, the process, challenges and lessons! https://youtu.be/67C8rlA-7-w
