Have you ever helped others along even when you were still working on yourself? We don't have to be perfect to support others, we get to be a work in progress as well.

A haunted house but it’s a very specific clothing request. 😬🙄 (I’m noticing how many of these take me back to the early days 🤣)

Have we, as people, gotten so used to disconnection that we fear remembering?

Connection with a Cuddlist can be the same. We work up. You’ll then notice that there can be connection in more places, not just inside a session. But we can help you remember.

I feel a sinking feeling in my chest. I feel so unseen/unknown.

For the general audience, we are very independent inside our relationship. It works for us. This is one of those 🔍 situations.

Michelle Renee @meetmichellerenee.bsky.social · Sep 27

We’ve been together almost 10 years… 😅😬

DH: wanna play a board game you’ve never played before?

(I don’t play many board games. My son is visiting and that’s the only time I generally play and I hate learning new games.)

Me: *totally confused look on my face* 🙄 Why would you ask me to play a game I don’t already know?! 😳🫣

Glad you appreciated the content.

What this looks like with clients:
• Naming feelings: “Right now I feel…”
• Making clear requests: “I would like…”
• Setting limits: “No, not right now,” or “Yes, with this change…”
• Celebrating wins: “I did that. My body can do that.”

On this Labor Day I’m reflecting on the work I GET to do, & how much of a gift it is. To my past, present, & future clients: thank you for trusting me, for taking a chance on something new, & for letting me love you. Your impact on me is just as deep as mine is on you, and I’m so grateful. 💜

Real moment: sharing with my housekeeper that Dax is kept a little doped up because he’s super tressed with cognitive decline… and I notice overwhelm start to roll in. I stop and notice and let it pass rather than running with it, letting it grow. I’ve really gotten better at regulation. 💜
