  • Getting Curious: Surviving the Holidays after a Pregnancy Loss, Part 4
    Getting Curious is a mindfulness practice that helps us create some distance from our thoughts and feelings when they take over, and allows us to identify ways we can support ourselves through that difficult feeling. Getting curious allows us to move into a space of integrity, and upholding our values, which will guide important decisions we make during the holidays.        ANNOUNCEMENT: Join me for a FREE even in the New Year! Starting January 9th, I will be offering a pregnancy loss healing and support group. Each day, for five days, you will have activities to help you process your loss. At the end of each day, we will meet on Instagram Live to process what we've been feeling and exploring. I hope you all can join!
