How often do I hold myself to a standard that I wouldn’t hold anyone else to? Goodness. Self compassion is such a practice.

I’m thankful that you felt supported to follow your intuition. I love this community of substack; I don’t remember the last time I felt so encouraged to write and create, to feel like I could show up imperfectly and still be reminded I have something unique to offer.

It certainly is, haha.

I am really grateful to have found substack. My experience has been the same - so encouraging, and really an invitation to show up fully right where I am.

I'm a month into posting consistently on Substack and I must admit, anxiety over posting type and frequency often made me overthink and not actually share. I'm glad that I gave myself permission to just post. And see what happens. And to know that we're also allowed to change our minds at any time. Trusting our instincts is so hard sometimes, but we have them for a reason. Thank you for this!

Yes! I think sometimes we all just need that reminder to give ourselves permission to do what feels right.

A giant "THANK YOU" to you A. for your sharing, insight, wisdom, light and love. Enjoy your time away and the wld ouyrneys you are embraking wsith your 4 year old! Be well, and lvoe to all of you on that journey!

I am big old hypocrite when it comes to applying my sage wisdom to myself. One thing we can do for each other is to point that out, lovingly and compassionately, as we go along, alone and together in this journey of exploration and wonder. Thank you for shining a light today for me!

And I'm happy to be a gentle reminder, and so grateful to you for doing the same.
