As we go into the holiday season, I thought I'd share three aspects for me that make up true happiness right now. I hope this inspires you to connect to what true happiness means for you and you allow yourself to experience it.

25 min - 65. Giving Ourselves and Others Some Space and Grace - Guided Refleciton + Meditation
Life is hard enough, stressful enough, overwhelming enough. As we get more stressed and overwhelmed, we tend to take things more personally. Here is a call to give ourselves and others some space and grace! And to remember that we never really know the inner world of another human being.
And, I can tell you from my seat as a psychotherapist and coach, every single one of us is a tender, sensitive human being who has been through so much and just wants to belong, be loved, be regarded, and love.
I walk you through a guided meditation to soften, accept our imperfections, and to give others some space and grace. This opens us to so many possibilities for healing, forgiveness, and true connection.
And in a world with an epidemic of loneliness where we go around with stressed out nervous systems, this is healing balm.

14 min - 64. Practicing Appreciation With Just One Name
Over 10 years ago, my mom (kindly) suggested to be mindful of something that has changed how I regard and interact with people, especially my dear ones. If you are listening to this at the start of the holidays, this is a great practice to play with as you are with your dear ones.
Poems: Tenderness and "unnamed."

17 min - 63. Appreciating Your Body - Guided Meditation
Whether you have struggled with body image or want to deepen your connection with your body, this guided experience provides a safe and nurturing space to practice appreciation for your body. I'll gently guide you through a meditation that supports you in letting go of self-criticism and instead noticing and experiencing the strength, resilience, and beauty of your body. Tune in and deepen your self-love and regard for the incredible vessel that your body is.
Poem: Born to Love
Throughout November, you'll have the chance to practice different kinds of appreciation and gratitude with me to soften, soothe, and support you in going into the holidays with an expansive and strengthened heart and body.

31 min - 62. The Power of Appreciation + Guided Meditation
In this episode, I share a touching story. I was standing on the deck of my parents' house taking a reprieve from helping out with my dad's surgery. And I had this moment of deep appreciation that helped me get real with the brevity of life and pause to "take in the good." I hope it inspires you. Then, be guided through a really lovely meditative practice for cultivating appreciation.
The practice of appreciation doesn't ignore or avoid what is difficult or challenging in our lives. It buffers us and "widens the container' in which we hold and view our lives.
Throughout November, you'll have the chance to practice different kinds of appreciation and gratitude with me that, I hope, will soften, soothe, and support you in going into the holidays with an expansive and strengthened heart.

24 min - 61. A Tiny Habit that Helps My Mental Health - Protecting the Senses
Earlier in 2023, I shared an episode, Tiny Habits that Help My Mental Health, where I go through a whole list of habits that I have been about to help nourish and heal my nervous system. It's a pretty popular post! You'll want to listen to that episode with a pen and paper to take notes! In today's episode, I am sharing another tiny habit that has really been a life-saver for me - more like a nervous system saver! Listen all the way through until the end and I'll lead you through a practice, A Sensory Break, that you can make your own and incorporate it into your everyday life.
Poem shared: Silence, from my book: Your Light is Rising

20 min - 60. How You End Your Day Matters - Evening Reflection + Meditation
At the end of the day, we need time to unwind and settle our minds and bodies. We aren't devices and can't just "power off" so easily. In my work as an Integrative Psychotherapist and Coach, I hear people share with me that when they finally lay down at the end of the day, their minds are still racing. They might even harp on or notice the negative about themselves that day.
This episode is all about how we can end our day with intention.
Bonus - you might want to have a journal handy because at the end, I lead you through a really lovely guided evening meditation to help you notice your "wins" for the day (some you may not even have thought of as wins!). It starts at about 18:30
Poem shared: The Way Home, found in both of my books: Gems of Delight and Your Light is Rising
