Today I come to you as my messy, sick, overwhelmed, very human, and ever-hopeful real-life self!

And oh hey- I have a new Instagram page! It is barely birthed but I hope you follow along. Just look for the handle @starfishhypnosis (or click the link). I plan to share more in depth hypnosis & how-to-feel-better content in this new space, and I can't wait to connect with you there.

(I'll still post on @starfishyoga with more general life things and, well, mostly my dog.)

Back to the pod! In this episode, we explore:

• Doing your best is enough!
• Why focusing on what’s right in front of us can be grounding when the world feels heavy (and heavy it is)
• The difference between ignoring hard things vs. tending to yourself inside them
• How joy and struggle can exist at the same time, and must.

Things I hope you remember:

• You don’t have to be “fine” and if the best you can do is work on feeling better in this moment, that's perfect
• Feeling overwhelmed is a valid response to living in this world
• Nothing’s forever. Even this.
• We can do hard things, we can feel joy- and we must.
