Just called my parents to check on them after a week of the cold weather up north. Whenever I talk to them now, on my end, things are peaceful because I go into the conversation in the present, focused on enjoying the moment I have with them, in complete forgiveness and with the hope to make new memories. Unfortunately, it is not the same on…[Read more]

1. Mental Health – Intention is to book an appointment with a psychiatrist to explore the possibility of medication if necessary
2. Physical Health – Intention is to find a new eating plan to try for 30 days, possibly a no sugar plan. I’m looking to kick my sugar cravings.
3. Mending my family relationships, specifically with my brother -…[Read more]

So far so good, with only a few minor hiccups. I started a 31 day squat, lunge, and push-up challenge. I’m really surprised at how much of a difference it has made already. My issue is that when I exercise more, I tend to let go a bit on my eating habits, and when I focus on the eating habits, the exercise isn’t so great. I wish I could say…[Read more]

The SAME thing happens to me. When I focus on nutrition, my eating tends to go a bit. For me personally, focusing on nutrition and doing some exercise has given me my best results. We all have to find our way with this. Proud of you for doing this challenge and challenging your mind and body in a new and different way. I think we learns something…[Read more]

Great work Karen! Supporting you in making healthy changes and in coming to new awarenesses that support your highest potential.

I know you are up for it! See what comes through for you.

I love what Wes said. I’ve got nothing more to add. I’m just going with that one. Good stuff. I’m going to save it to read later.

Yes, he put it beautifully!

I was reading this morning about how our anger is sometimes a sign that we need to get out of or distance ourself from a dangerous situation. I think my emotions are in response to some emotional abuse I am experiencing from my co-workers. I’m not pushing the feelings away like I used to, or going into “pleasing mode.” I’m taking care of myse…[Read more]

Clear limits sound in order! You got this! Acknowledging your incredible awareness.

So glad it went well. I love being imperfect 🙂 Doing okay over here. I’ve been consistent with my health goals so far, so I’m happy that I’ve been able to continue this journey and be consistent. Still having some emotions coming up. Been practicing self-care and honoring what is coming up. Wish I could be on the call today, but I’m working…[Read more]

Thanks for check-in in Karen. What are your thoughts about the emotions coming up for you? (if open to sharing..) Acknowledging you for finding ways to honor yourself through them.

Thank you, Bev & Wes, for sharing your truth with all of us. It is very much appreciated by me and I could relate. I found myself wishing I was with you all around a campfire talking about it! For me right now, I am very much in a place where I’m trying to find a balance between being “super” spiritual and enjoying my life. So, when Bev was t…[Read more]

Grateful to be here with you, Tami. I’m looking forward to catching up on the call this weekend, sharing with everyone. and reading everyone’s thoughts about the latest call.

Thanks Karen, I feel the same. Looking forward to planting new seeds of growth and tending with you all this year. My prayers are that we pick up synergy and cheer each other on to our most authentic selves.

Feeling good about my intentions for the new year. I did not get the job I interviewed for, but I did receive a clean bill of health, and it was even better than I expected. Just feeling very positive overall about where I am headed and what opportunities may open up for me this year. I feel like I am no longer stuck in the “forward and b…[Read more]

By fulfilling my responsibilities to myself and others. For me, that has been my cue that I’m honoring each day, especially since in the past I had let myself, and them, down.

Love it. So glad your husband is doing better. It’s wonderful to be surrounded by those on the same path.

We are enjoying our New Years trip to Austin. I have been intentional about listening to my gut, letting go of the need to do and just be, and have done a great job of greeting those around me, especially in the morning, which has been a struggle for me as memories from the past trigger me and I lose that confidence that I need to be a part of…[Read more]

Karen, I feel and sense that you’ve done so much work on yourself. I can hear how intentional you are being with yourself and life. It’s fantastic and will only get more and more intentional with ease. It’s such a remarkable process really. I think it’s important that we don’t buy into separation but really buy into more connection with something…[Read more]

As I’m going about the rest of my day, I seem to be processing more of what was going on when I was talking to my parents, and acknowledging the feelings that are coming up now. It’s the same dynamic it always has been. My mother is drinking, my father is lonely and codependent. Giving myself the space to acknowledge my feelings about all of…[Read more]
I think that’s great that you are able to acknowledge and feel your feelings around that experience and get enough space from it to do so.
Thanks Jane 🙂
Karen, Witnessing you honoring your own experience and creating boundaries of your thought process vs. your parents. May Clarity and Compassion surround your discoveries of your own truth and value.
Thank you so much, Tami. I appreciate the light sent my way.
Agreed, it’s great that you are feeling your feelings about this. I know for my process, I call out the behavior to my mom in a loving way (if I need to). It’s tough being around people who haven’t done the work on themselves. I find it best to pick my battles so to speak. That’s not really the right term because I don’t view it as a battle. I…[Read more]
Thanks, Bev. I think I did a good job of not being defensive or justifying past behavior. It was a guilt trip for things that happened several years ago. I just calmly stated that I don’t do that anymore and I feel like I’m a good daughter. It has definitely triggered me, though, which I’m finding frustrating, but I am dealing with it. I thi…[Read more]
I’m curious where were you triggered? Your mind, your body, the younger you, somewhere else? I would love for you to start noticing any body sensations so that you can start de-identifying from them and not make yourself wrong for old stuff coming up and through. It’s great you can even acknowledge the trigger and explore where it’s happening for…[Read more]
Yes, it was definitely my younger self. I’m starting to feel those sobs coming up just thinking about it now. My parents have always had a volatile, violent relationship and they would each degrade each other when each was alone with me, trying to put me against each one and I was always always always so scared that Mom was going to kill h…[Read more]
