💭 Three transition questions I'm sitting with: What tiny win can you celebrate? What would it feel like to trust your timeline? What support haven't you asked for yet? Part 3: Sustaining the Journey drops Wednesday. Which resonates most? ✨ ⁠ #LifeTransitions #wellnessinreallife #wellnesssky

Reflection questions for navigating transitions on calm background. Text reads: 'What tiny win can you celebrate from today or this week? What would it feel like to truly trust your timeline? To not know and be okay with it? What support might you need that you haven't asked for yet?'

🏈 Creating space isn't always heavy work. Every fall I protect Sunday afternoons for Packers games - not productive, doesn't serve my business, just makes me happy. Permission to create space for joy too. What brings you joy that needs protected time? 💚 #wellnesssky #creatingspace #gopackgo

⚡ Big life changes are invisible energy vampires. Some transitions don't fill your calendar but drain capacity. Empty schedule doesn't equal available energy.

✨ "Does this thought belong to me?" - my reminder that not every thought is mine to carry. There's power in taking in information, noting it + letting it go. Helps me release what doesn't serve + pause before hot takes. What helps you filter? #wellnesssky #wellnessineallife #postitnotestomyself

✨ We breathe ~22,000 times/day without noticing. Your body is always there - breathing, regulating, showing up for you. How can you show up for it in return? Maybe find moments to be present with your breath. Maybe appreciate all it does. Maybe treat it with kindness #wellnesssky #wellnessinreallife

💬 "Group chats are modern support circles where we send memes instead of hugs" Sometimes the most meaningful connection is a perfectly timed GIF when you need it. Digital support circles count too. (This haiku will be in my 2026 calendar - coming soon!) #holistichaiku #wellnessinreallife

What does it even mean to be ready?⁠ This morning I was thinking about how my energy felt + being "ready" for the week ahead. Sometimes ready can mean cramming a lot into the current day, but perhaps ready means being ready to receive or be present in the week ahead. #wellnessinreallife #wellnesssky

🌸 JOMO = nervous system medicine. Have had a boundary for nearly a decade of never commiting to anything on Fridays. Gives me space to check if the week was overwhelming + I need time for me. Sometimes lounge clothes + pet cuddles is the healthiest choice ✨ #wellnessinreallife #JOMOoverFOMO

🍂 Fall reflection: What parts of fall feel nourishing to your whole self? This season invites us to slow down + turn inward. Maybe it's warm drinks, cozy spaces, or just watching leaves transform. How can you lean into what nourishes you more? ✨

🌲 Things are tough right now - overwhelmed, letting loved things drop. Even with my toolkit it's hard, but allowing hard to be okay matters too. Trees called me this week for calm + reset (hence the forest smile). We're all figuring it out. You're not alone 💙 #wellnessinreallife

🧘‍♀️ Monday Mantra: "I give myself permission to find self-love in wonderful ways this week" What you need when anxious ≠ when happy. And yes, self-love in celebratory moments is also important. Work stress ≠ friend drama. How are you loving yourself this week? ✨ #mondaymindfulnessmantra

🌙 Body wanted to move slow earlier this week, so I did. But then the guilt spiral: rush later or let something drop? I chose to drop something. Not everything needs urgency + true rest isn't borrowed time you pay back with stress ✨ #wellnesswednesday #wellnessinreallife

📝 "Don't let the list lead" - gentle reminder to check in with yourself. Lists are helpful but non-critical tasks love creeping in + taking over. Let the list guide, not control. Your intuition gets a vote too ✨ #postitnotestomyself #wellnessinreallife #wholebodywellness. #holistichealth
