This is one of my most popular YouTube videos, and it's no wonder. It's all about releasing what no longer serves! Great to do anytime, and especially during waning moon periods, like we're in as I'm posting. Here it is on YouTube so you can save it to a playlist. Drop a comment and let us know how this lands in your system!

If you’re here, there’s a good chance you feel a LOT of energies and/or emotions and/or pain from others… sometimes all at once… and perhaps you don’t always know what to do with it. You might be feeling: • overwhelmed or overstimulated • starting and stopping self-care practices • pulling back when things get intense • or just quietly wondering, “why does this all feel like so MUCH?” You’re in the right place. This space isn’t about becoming less sensitive. It's about learning how to stay with yourself—so what you feel becomes something you can trust. There’s also a bit of playfulness here. You might notice some Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy energy woven in. Because well… a lot of us feel like cosmic misfits just trying to navigate this human experience. So we keep it real. And we keep it light where we can. Please introduce (or reintroduce) yourself below 👇 You can keep it simple: 1. favorite color? 2. favorite treat? 3. favorite line or character from Hitchhiker’s Guide (no idea? that’s okay!) ___ I'll start. Purple Dessert So many... "Oh no, not this again." "So long, and thanks for all the fish." ___ Then once you've said hi, you might pop over to the #Welcome, Start Here classroom Take your time here. There’s nothing to prove. Nothing to perform. Just a soft place to land…and slowly learn how to stay.🤍

May 4th is the actual day Lewis Carroll set Alice's adventure. It's the day she followed the rabbit, fell through the dark rabbit hole, and landed somewhere that made absolutely no sense. It's the day everything changed, not because the world got easier, but because she had no choice but to find out who she really was. Here's what most people miss about that story. Alice didn't go to Wonderland to have fun. She went through confusion, chaos, and creatures that challenged everything she thought she knew. She met the Queen of Hearts, all rage and power and "off with their heads," the part of us that lashes out when we feel out of control. She sat with the Mad Hatter, wild and creative and a little unhinged, the part of us that's been dismissed as too much. She faced the Jabberwocky, this enormous terrifying thing that everyone said couldn't be defeated, and every voice around her, including her own, said she wasn't the one to do it. But she was the only one who could. That's not a fairy tale detail. That's the whole point. The dragon you're most convinced you cannot face? It has your name on it. Not because life is cruel, but because you are the only one built exactly right to slay it. Your Queen of Hearts, your madness, your creativity, your fear, none of it is a flaw in the story. It IS the story. Alice didn't find herself by staying on the surface. She found herself by going within, through every uncomfortable, disorienting, shape-shifting layer of Wonderland, and coming out the other side knowing who she is and what she is capable of. That's the work. You ARE the main character. Live like it. Stay Curious 🐇🐛🦋🎩⏳ 💜Mel

May the Fourth be with you! On this wonderful nerdy holiday, I ask you whether you like the traditional original set starting with Star wars: a new hope. Or do you love all of it?

ello, love! Have you noticed that the world is kind of a dumpster fire lately? So, what do we do? Hide? Scream? Doom scroll? How about something different? I love to look for what is good, fun, and beautiful. How about leaning into what brings us joy? Works beautifully. Puts you in a space of gratitude. Opens your heart to what is good. Teaches your brain to look for more of that. (Yes - literally, the reticular activating system RAS does that) What lights you up? Art? Pets? People? Clouds? Drop a comment and let us know! It's so important to do things purely for the joy of it. It’s time for another play date this Saturday! Check the calendar for your time zone, but it’s 1 PM Eastern. Whether you want to work on art, a craft project, do a puzzle, play a game, or just chat, we would love to have you. Low-key. Not recorded. Just fun.
