Word of the Week: Release Life Lesson: While packing up our life in NYC, I was surprised how triggered I felt. While I wasn’t terribly sad about leaving the actual city, I felt sad about leaving behind all the pain I had experienced while living there. I know that sounds weird. Who gets sad about […]

Word of the Week: Happy Life Lesson: “How are you feeling about everything? Any fears coming up?” my therapist asked a week before Andrew (my hubs) and I moved out of NYC.

Word of the Week: Space Life Lesson: Tis the season of shadow work, amirite?
