I'm in a sticky legal situation (real estate related, not criminal, not my medical license, you are safe 🤣). Years in, no quick end in sight. Most people would consider it pretty intense. In January things boiled over. Lots of practical to-dos on top of 2 kids and a full-time job. After the immediate tasks were done, I hit emotional whiplash, just deep frustration with the whole situation. I was struggling to recalibrate. The mindset piece: Life isn't always easy. Hard moments push us to learn and grow. So instead of resisting it, I ask: what's my growth opportunity here? How do I come out stronger? My biggest regret would be looking back and realizing this spilled over into the more important parts of my life. So I needed to learn **containment** how to hold something difficult without letting it contaminate everything else. The practical piece (because mindset alone isn't enough): 🔹 One dedicated email for all communication about the problem. Not our personal email. 🔹 We check it twice a week only, on specific days, before noon (so it doesn't affect our sleep). 🔹 Inbox pause extension so emails only deliver during those windows. Protecting against our own human behaviour lol 🔹 Our legal teams have our text number for true emergencies. Otherwise, it waits. And we've communicated that boundary. This contains the *conversations* too. We get info, make a plan, deal with it, then close that topic until the next window. No constant drip of new emails pulling us back in. **We're only a few days in, but it already feels like a major win.** I know we all sometimes face hard seasons. Some have endpoints, some don't. When there's no endpoint, the best you can do is protect yourself. Why talk about nervous system and mindset here? It totally plays a role in your hormonal health and overall health. Have you heard of containment before? Practiced anything like this? Can you see implementing it in your own life? What does that look like for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Keeping it simple! Trying something new, instead of focusing on yoga as I used to, I want to focus now on walking. Good: 10,000 steps a day (in average) Best: 12,000 steps a day Best: 15,000 steps a day Trying to create systems that don't trigger a sense of perfection (and failure) to avoid creating rigidity and resistance. Walking for me is a pleasure so I hope it will work better (while also keeping the yoga a few times a week, without pressure). Also installed a cute app that simulates the Frodo's path from the Shire to Mount Doom, it makes me smile (big Lord of the ring fan here). Happy New Year everyone! I wish us all a year of health and self-discovery 💛

Where I live (Québec), winter is long and cold (today was -20). Walking becomes a challenge, but also a refreshing way to feel alive (lol), and a necessity, to not be stuck inside for 6 months. So here's my goals: Good: 10,000 steps a day in average = 70,000 / week Better: 12,000 steps a day = 84,000 Best: 15,000 steps a day = 105,000 Stats of the last 2 weeks: Jan. 25-31 = 53,111 steps = ok! Feb. 1-7 = 85,217 steps = better, yay! Realizing I need to find places to walk to to motivate myself, because I found it challenging to walk aimlessly in the winter lol slowly finding my stride! :)

I wanted to share something a little special with you. This is my very first Shift Society insiders-only video, and I want to start by thanking @Anya Grace Krasnov (if you have a question you can pitch a video idea here), who gently pulled me into a really interesting rabbit hole with one thoughtful question. That single question sparked a lot of ideas for me, and I think I’m going to sit with this topic for a bit cause blood sugar is an very important topic for metabolic health with or without PCOS. What I care about most with this kind of content is accessibility and clarity. Not more noise, not more “rules,” but a way to understand what we’re actually looking at and how to place it in context. I’m working on another video that will explore what the research tends to focus on when we talk about blood sugar, and how different recommendations stack up relative to each other. What Glucose Goddess and I agree on. Not a hacks list in the usual sense. For so many reasons that language doesn’t really fit my philosophy but more of a way to think about priorities and evidence without everything feeling equally urgent. But this one here is just for you. Shift Society is still very new, and you’re here early. Thank you for trusting me and for being part of these early conversations. In this video, I walk through my thoughts on the popular, international best selling author Glucose Goddess. What it’s based on, what question it’s actually answering, and where it fits within the bigger picture of metabolic health. After you watch, I’d love to hear your reflections.💛

A few grounding reminders before we dive in: 🌟 1) Sunday Shift is our weekly rhythm. The key here is to check in once a week. Doesn't necessarily have to be Sunday — you do you if Monday's better for you. But we kind of reset on Sundays. This creates that loop effect. That's where growth happens. Get hyper specific on your focus, find what that looks like with life lifing using the Good, Better, Best framework, and then circle back on it the next week. 🌟 2) I know there's a lot of new members — welcome! If something's not quite sticking or there's resistance, I'd like to know what it is. I wanna make this as helpful as I can and seriously improve to make it better. ✨ TWO OPTIONS: Choose YOUR Adventure ──────────────────────────── ✅ OPTION 1: Self-Led Vision Check in on your own focus and rhythm ──────────────────────────── Use the Good, Better, Best framework to map out your week. Post your focus in the Sunday Shift classroom, check back in next week, and track what's actually working with life lifing. 🔎 Not sure how to use Good, Better, Best? Check the classroom for the breakdown. ──────────────────────────── ✅ OPTION 2: February Love Challenge — Week 1 One thing I'm genuinely grateful my body can do ──────────────────────────── With February and the month of love, I wanted to explore what body love actually looks like the real, messy, honest kind. This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything's perfect. It's about accepting ourselves where we are. So this week, let's start simple: In the comments, tell me one thing you're genuinely grateful your body can do. Is it how strong you feel when you move? Walking without pain? Getting through the day? Holding your kids? Whatever it is, no matter how small it feels, I wanna hear it. 🌿 Reflection Question What's one thing you're genuinely grateful your body can do right now? Comment below let's start February with some real talk. Mine in the comment below
