I'm going to be making a course for Holistic Nurse Academy for 1 contact hour lol possibly a bundle if it goes well 😄 living the dream in ways I never thought possible!

So last week I had a zoom call with Kathy, co-founder of The Nursing Way (yet another Jean Watson thing) and it went great! They are volunteer for now because they have a tiny budget and rely on donations, however we can pitch at the end of the workshop and they will market for 4-6 weeks prior to the event(s) She was *very* interested in my workshop series of Lifestyle Medicine/Caring Science and recommended that I also write an accompanying blog post(s). She recommended once a month OR do a weekly series like a container. I imagine it as intro to Lifestyle Medicine/Caring Science, go through each pillar, and then a conclusion event/circle. I *also* mentioned that I do tarot readings and she said "Well we were actually looking to get a tarot reading for the company to see if we're on the right track." (No lie, I had the spark to figure out tarot pricing this morning LOL) She also said they have a community portion where I can be part of or even make a Lifestyle Medicine community in there. (Guys I'll be so sad when this community shuts down 😫)

So today on Kathleen’s World: we had a housewarming today and I was running on a single hour of sleep and an Alani energy drink. I feel like I walked a marathon around my house. It was nice to see friends and family in our own home (but I admittedly got scared when my family left bc we never hosted more that 3 people at a time and I needed an adultier adult 🤣) I finally put everything away, showered, I’m in bed with my husband and kitty, and I just was so surprised when I saw this! My eight year old self’s dream of being a writer has come true 🥹🧡 I can't wait to write more and explore everything Substack has to offer in our cozy not-so-little corner of the universe ✨

Celebrating that I reached out to a FB eldest daughter group owner and we're going to do a live/podcast together Aug 5 😁 and she said following that, we could make it a regular thing or do a joint offering 🤩 How often should I post about it to spread the word?
