The Good Space with Francesca Phillips

Today, I'm expanding on one of our most popular daily emails this year. It's about the ego's tendency to police the universe, as explained by Marianne Williamson in A Return To Love. 

Criticism elicits defensiveness and doesn't inspire change. If we choose compassion instead that elicits a healed and open response. The context we put people in matters. 

Let me know if any of this resonates with you!

Throughout life, we make a lot of big and small decisions. We feel anxious and we waffle back and forth. Decisions like choosing what college to attend, who to marry, and what career to choose make us a little panicky. But, I want to remove this idea that there are wrong choices. So let's talk about the what-ifs.

Happier. I want to express the work that I'm supposed to put into the world and feel vibrant and bright and happy. What books would you recommend?” These are the books.

I wanted to share this thought with you about the difference between attracting something and it just happening. I feel like that’s an eternal debate or lesson that people must learn about spirituality because very quickly, spirituality can be toxic. So, let’s talk about it real quick.

The way that I view time in my life has changed ever since my daughter came into this world. After speaking with my trusted friends, the question that hung over my head and heart was, why do we put everything else above what is actually meaningful and purposeful? Why are we putting money over our happiness and joy?

I’ve been learning what it means to have a hypervigilant nervous system and how to regulate it. In this minisode, I share what Dr. Nicole LaPera says on the topic from her book, How To Do the Work. This term recently entered my radar and I wanted to learn more about it. I hope you take away a little something from this too!
