As You Are

In today's episode, we explore the value in leaning into rest, retreat, and resilience during darker days as introduced by Katherine May in her book Wintering. We hope that this conversation can lend you comfort as you walk through your own internal winters, and offer the gentle reminder that brighter days will always return.

A grounding gift from us to you. Lace up your walking shoes and listen in for a healthy dose of perspective and gratitude for you and your growth. We love you!

Join us for a conversation on intentional deep rest and a softer approach to darker days. In this episode, Shelby details the inspiration behind her community challenge and together we discuss stepping away from all or nothing and softening into all or something. We hope this conversation sparks the light of self compassion just in time for Daylight Savings and winter nights!

From concert crowds to the cute things humans do, today's episode is filled with gentle reminders that as we pause to notice the tiny ways that humanity is good, our view of the good will only expand. We hope that this conversation can offer you rest in remembering what continues to be true: there is good in the world, and not only is it worth fighting for - you are also an essential part of it.

As we each navigate the rapidly shifting circumstances in 2020, we all have moments of "why do I feel this way?! What is happening?!" In this episode, we break down the what and why by taking a journey through the stages of grief, providing a little context (and validation!) to the individual and collective experiences happening this year. "Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life." - Anne Roiphe Join our community on Instagram HERE.
