Last week I lost my Skool flame for the first time in 365 days, and it happened in the middle of the best three to four weeks I've ever had. I made nine interactions that day. You need ten to keep the flame. It happened because I've cut right back. I used to post and comment across a lot of communities every day. Now I post far less, and I only put something up if I think you'd bookmark it. The other change is the order. In every post and every video, the person reading or watching comes first. Whatever I've got to promote goes at the bottom. The title is what these feeds look like to me a lot of days. I've got this, I've got that, join this, join that. It's promotion with nothing to learn from and no story behind it, and people scroll past because nobody opens a feed hoping to be sold to. We're all here to promote what we do and make money. I am too. I've just found it works better when the reader gets something first. I'm not telling you to do the same. These are small tweaks that worked for me, and they mean you'll see me around less. Agree or disagree? Tell me below. And the bottom of the post, as promised: if you run a Skool community and want YouTube to bring members into it, that's what we work on in The Content Revenue Lab. It's free to join.

Before 8 am this morning, my stress level was already so through the roof that I thought my chest was going to explode open. The dizzying chaos of trying to get my autistic daughter to school mid meltdown with the clock's angry tick tock reminding me that I had a work appointment looming just a few minutes in the future. There was no time for me to process this. I didn't have the option to pause life and deal with it. And that is the reality so many parents raising neurodivergent kids face each and every day. That is why I have found little tricks to incorporate into my busy, chaotic stressful life. Because I don't always have 10 minutes (and certainly never more than that!). I can't just throw on a meditation or get a massage when real life is throwing its demands in my face all the time. No, I have to use tools that can be employed DURING the chaos that release the pressure in a matter of seconds. Because I don't have a choice. And here are 4 that I share in this YouTube video. There are also deeper protocols and many ways to deal with the aftermath. When I do eventually get home today, I will do some tapping and drain away the stress that accumulated in my bucket today. But having these moves to take the top off are a lifesaver when things get rough. And you can count on them getting rough. Might as well be prepared.

We’re a community of like-minded, midlife women reconnecting with who we are, discovering what lights us up and having some fun along the way, and we’d love for you to join us! Through playful exercises, creative challenges and meaningful conversations, we’re making room for ourselves - beyond our roles and commitments. Some days we go deep. Others we laugh. There’s room for both. 💛 You don’t need to have it all figured out. Come as you are, bring a little curiosity and let’s grow together. Join us in the Soulfully Authentic community!

That's a distinction I've been exploring more deeply in my work. We learn plenty about controlling our reactions, keeping calm and managing difficult feelings. And those skills certainly have their place. But what about the emotional experiences that keep returning, even when we know exactly how we'd like to respond? Through my Energy-Wise Freedom Pathway, I explore emotional awareness, shared emotional environments, and the possibility of completing and releasing experiences that remain unfinished. My Energy-Wise Parenting Hub is where I share these discoveries with parents who want to understand themselves and help their children develop lifelong emotional skills. If that sounds like an interesting perspective, you're welcome to visit here

There’s always a moment, just before something changes, where you notice something you hadn’t noticed before. It might be small. A thought you catch mid-flow. A reaction you don’t follow through on. A pause where there used to be none. That’s not nothing. That’s everything. Are you in that moment right now, or have you had one recently? Come and share it in The Inner Rewrite. That’s exactly what this space is for.🦋🌿 🔗 https://www.skool.com/the-inner-rewrite-1373/about
