It's been a week.

What do YOU need friend? How do you feel? Are you telling anyone or are you keeping it bottled up?

This is just me, poking my fellow friend and nurturer of all from fur-babies 🐶 toddlers 👧🏽to adults 🙄-- (yes, I’m talking to you friend)-- to try a bit today and this weekend by sharing more of what you need.

Ask. ❔❔❔
You matter just as much as everyone around you.

Tell. 📣📣📣
Sometimes, people just don't know how we're feeling -- even when we think it's truly obvious and we sure wish they'd be "like us and know how everyone is feeling and what they need" at all times. 😉

Truthfully, I'm not always comfortable telling Pete "Hey, I need you to do the bedtimes..." (even though I'm going to be in the house and COULD do them but mentally and emotionally I'm spent so I say what I really need). It's not comfortable, but it's getting easier. The more I do it, the more I say how I'm actually feeling, it gets easier. So there's that friend.

Happy Friday my friend. Now, what do need? And how do you feel? Give in, and be with it ...when you are picking between putting your feet up OR doing another task on the list -- put your feet up. Give yourself a minute to listen for what you need. It's not about "earning it" there's no earning self-care. It's about listening to your body and honoring it, just as you want those around you to do for themselves. And we know you want the best for them. Let’s also want the best for us. ❤️

xoxo

Are your questions welcomed?

"Here's a pamphlet, this should answer your questions."
"You ask a lot of questions." 😑
"What we traditionally do here is..."
"Look, this is how it works here." 😥
"I've never heard of that before..."
"Well you may want that but ..."😡
"Look that over, it will explain everything."

These are just a few of the comments women were met with when they tried to ask some questions of their provider. For over 5 years working with the Cincinnati Homebirth Collaborative and now just in my first year with Free WELL @myfreewell - it is not uncommon for me to see women who feel disempowered.

They feel they can't ask questions.

Here's the thing, some come to me and say "this doesn't feel right. I wanted to ask these questions but I was met with annoyance." And others, well, they don't even know what went wrong but are so anxious and sad, and as we uncover things we see she's not being empowered (rather disempowered) with the people who surround her.😢

📝 Read my latest blog, link in bio where I share my own, first experience with this, and another true story of a prenatal client. This is part 1 of Empowered vs. Disempowered Care. ➡️I also include some Self-Search questions for you to begin to unravel what kind of care you have when it comes to the people you see for mental, emotional, and physical help.

❔Tell me, have you ever been told any of those comments above❔

Energy F L O W S where intention goes. ✨ Hello

Energy F L O W S where intention goes. ✨

Hello Monday. Hello Friends.
It’s that day again, and what would it be like if we paused for a minute and asked ourselves:

What is my top priority? what is my intention for today? And for this week?

What will I do more of? And what will I do less of?

What is my mantra for this day? This week?

And in what ways can I take care of me, and this intention, so that I may feel this way?

Purposeful pauses help us to be still while still moving/ doing and tending to all the things.

P a u s e
...and here we go ❤️.

Before the day wraps its wings around you ...with its demands, distractions, and tasks ...carrying you to where you may NOT intend to go ➡️Wrap your own loving wings around the day, and carry it to where you INTEND to go. ✨

Take a moment (58 seconds) & set your intention for this day

When I look back at this photo I remember a few things.

I remember how much I adored those little handmade reversible dresses the girls are wearing. How they practically lived in them that summer.

I remember us trying to grab a quick bite to eat after the shoot, before nap time, which was like a quick hour to drive, order, eat and drive home before someone fell asleep in the car 😬

I remember how excited I was to get this special Mother’s Day photo shoot with my twins Viviana and Josephine 📸 by the talented @alexdavis.photography

And I remember Pete watching us, his girls, trying his best dad moves to get their attention in hopes of looking at the camera.

But what I see when I look at this picture and now know deep in my bones, that I did not give myself credit for then is that I was doing it. I was doing a lot of things, things that were and are worthy, even when it didn’t feel like I was doing (accomplishing) anything. The sleepless nights, the soothing, the feeding, the playing, the just being there for them, my family, and me ...was doing.

Friends, you’re doing it - you’re “moving” even when you may not feel like you are, believe me you are. The time is serving you.

I needed this reminder today, so I’m glad I found this photo while cleaning my office.

Stillness serves. Small, big, medium movements - they all serve us.

The question is how COULD you feel if what you ate

The question is how COULD you feel if what you ate considered your cycle❓

It is fascinating to me the similarities between our menstrual cycle & the natural growth cycle (seed, sprout, harvest, recover). Have you ever thought about that?
👩‍🌾🌱 🚜 😴

I'm so glad people like Alisa Vitti, author of Women Code & In the FLO, are working hard to bring attention to the female (infradian) cycle & how we can live more in harmony with it - really honor it.

@myfreeWELL aims to empower clients with curiosity (& education).

I've walked women through this who have been menstruating for over 20 years & had no idea there are things they could do with gentle nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, mindset to live more in line with their natural rhythms (AND really optimize physical, mental, & emotional health).

While I work with a lot of prenatal & postpartum women, I can't help but educate on this important info for all the women I coach (currently 🩸 and others). FUN FACT: after my twins' birth, I didn't have a period for over 18 months. But with my son, the period returned after just 3 months! The body ✨

Let's get curious. Curious about our periods & all the days before. How COULD you feel? What might you notice?

With all my @myfreeWELL clients I work to instill in them a solid base of inward curiosity (aimed right at themselves) because I really believe when they look in, big things can happen both in and out. It becomes less about restriction and more about intuition. It becomes less about what someone else wants or says will be what they need, and more about what they want and see that they need.

Get curious. How are you feeling? Where are you at in your cycle? What might your body need?

Have you heard of eating certain foods throughout your cycle?
