Hi all! And Happy New Year’s Eve!
May this voice note greet you with softness, and act as a gentle encouragement as we shift into a new calendar year.

You don’t have to say yes to things that don’t feel right. You are allowed to say no.
You’re allowed to honor your body cues, your internal signals that act as your unique and personal compass. You’re allowed to advocate for you, and prioritize you.
You’re allowed to move slow. You’re allowed to not know. You’re allowed to not have all the answers, and not be sure of where next to go. You’re allowed to rest in the gentle unfolding of your life and tune in to joy, ease, and play along the way
A reminder to both me and you, that growth and transformation do not take place in shame, critique, or coercion.
We grow in gentleness, in curiosity.
We grow in softness, in spaciousness.

A few questions for my dear community…
What from 2024 are you proud of?
What energy or feelings are you orienting towards next year?
What from 2024 are you celebrating?
What are you most excited about for this upcoming year?
P.S. I am dreaming of being somewhere snowy… Oh how I have truly come to adore winter! For now, I’ll delight in this lovely photo and continue to daydream!
