it’s okay if the new year brings heavy feelings🤍

settling into january after traveling and the adrenaline rush from my book’s release…

my yearly colonoscopy is staring at me on my calendar and the upcoming scan season is breathing down my neck. humanity seems to be in short supply and my empathy is in overdrive.

I’m reminded that heavy feelings and trauma don’t just disappear because you’re distracted. and that there will always be something happening in the world that will add to the heaviness. I’m accepting that the start to the year will always be complicated and kick up emotions that I haven’t processed. each year is a practice in finding my footing and giving myself grace.

so here I am… sitting by the ocean and remembering that experiencing the ebb and flow of the things living within us is part of nature.

all my love🤍
