Not every story is yours to carry. Not every path is yours to walk. This Gemini New Moon invites you to pause… and listen. To the truth beneath the noise. To the tug of your own lane. To the story that’s ready to end—and the one that’s just beginning. Reflect with me: ✨ Where in life am I being invited to stay in my own lane? 🌬 What truth is rising that you can’t ignore anymore? 💌 What energy are you lovingly ready to return to sender? 📖 What story are you releasing—and what story are you writing now? Comment below with what’s alive for you—or just drop a ✨ if something resonated. Your voice is welcome here.

Borrowed this from another page because it resonated with me. I love the advice given, “Be gentle with yourself as you find your voice - because you can only find it by using it. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpyqWvyPVb/?igsh=MXBjcTZodDYyems5

I came across this post recently (see below) that really landed for me. It said, “You think becoming your best self will feel powerful. It won’t. It’ll feel like dying.” That line hit like a truth I’ve been living. Over the past couple of months, I’ve been actively working on releasing what no longer serves me and reconnecting with my authentic self. To say it’s been challenging would be an understatement. The deeper I go, the more the universe seems to test me—through hardship, emotional turbulence, and old wounds I thought I had already healed. This week especially, I’ve felt creatively inert and completely dispirited. It’s like a tug-of-war between who I was and who I’m becoming. And if I’m honest, it often feels more like breaking down than breaking through. But that post reminded me of something important: growth is rarely graceful. Transformation isn’t smooth or easy—it’s messy, painful, and often disorienting. The road can get lonelier and more treacherous the closer you get to your own truth. But that’s also how you know it’s working. You’re not going backwards—you’re shedding. You’re dismantling the false comfort of who you were in order to make space for who you could be. And that’s the real work. So if you’re in that space too—raw, tired, unsure—know that you’re not alone. The discomfort doesn’t mean you’re off track. It means you’re right in the thick of it. Stay strong! 🙌✨

This past week has felt like wandering through a house of mirrors. 🪞🪞🪞 Conversations with friends, difficult situations, the beautiful spring sunshine, even fleeting glances with strangers—all me, being reflected back to myself. Yes, the parts I love, but this week, it was especially the ones I avoid. Sharp edges. Patterns I thought I had outgrown. The warped and sometimes strange sides that takes a lot of courage for me to look at. Have you ever had a week like that? Where the world becomes a living reflection? If I'm being honest, it's been pretty exhausting, I feel like I've been stretched across too many versions of myself. But then I remembered: Yoga Nidra teaches us how to observe without judgment. To sit in the seat of the witness without reacting. To rest into the present moment, even when it feels uncomfortable or revealing. And so I began approaching each mirror as an invitation. To see. To stay. To integrate. I had fallen out of my daily YN routine this past week after some travels for work, and as soon as I dialed back in, I was reminded of the gifts that show themselves when I dare to look myself through the distortion and straight in the eye. This week, I’m curious: what has your mirror shown you this week? And how are you tending to what you see? And of course, it is time to welcome our newest members!
