Hey, my loves 🕯️🌙🌹 I’m officially committing to the 28 Day Skool Traffic Challenge so I can grow Velvet Rose Apothecary into the coziest end-of-day home base possible. This community is here for grounding, comfort, and connection - a soft place to land after a long day, where you can feel steadier just by being here. My goal is to attract more aligned members, boost our daily energy, and establish a consistent nightly ritual that you genuinely look forward to. If you’re already here, you’re part of the magic. If you want to help me shape this into the safest, warmest space ever, comment with one thing you’d love to see more of: grounding rituals, journaling prompts, cozy hangouts, or Aftercare Sanctuary support. Comment with just one word: Grounding, Journaling, Cozy, or Aftercare 🕯️ And if you know someone who’s been having heavy days lately, save them a seat 🌹 https://www.skool.com/moon-kissed-rituals-101-8129

Pregnancy is doing something interesting to my nervous system. I keep having these massive emotional waves and my first instinct is always to blame something. Find the reason, make it make sense, put the energy somewhere. The gift of being pregnant is that the things triggering me are so absurdly small that I can’t justify it. Like I’ll be furious about the sound of chewing or crying because someone used the wrong tone in a text. When life gives me bigger things to be upset about, I have all this justification and I can stay in my head forever. But with pregnancy, the emotions are so disproportionate that I have to admit they’re not actually about the trigger. The other day I had one of these waves and instead of spiraling or blaming, I got guidance to just move. I dropped out of my head and into my body and started swaying, then moving bigger, making sounds, hissing. I could feel this ball of energy and I could see it, like actually visualize its shape and color, and I watched it release out of me like a mushroom cloud. It made me wonder, how do you all work with emotions that are way too big for the situation? Do you need to understand them first or do you just let your body do what it needs to do?
