We still have a few spots left, including 3 solidarity spots. Send me a PM if you’d like to join!
I love when themes of the week align! This week it was all about social emotional literacy, self-awareness, regulation, and connection. These are not just โsoft skills,โ they are the skills that help us show up better in every part of life.
TIP!
The easiest place to start? Breathe.

1. Check in with how youโre feeling right now, and notice any tension in your body.
2. Take 3โ5 deep breaths in and out through your nose and diaphragm, making the exhale longer than the inhale.
3. Check in again, youโll often notice a little less tension and a clearer mind.
Itโs that simple, and that powerful. ๐ฟ
