Landy Peek (00:35)
There's a very particular feeling that tends to show up this year. It's that feeling that you're exhausted but also wired. You're grateful but oddly resentful, proud of everything you've held together, and quietly wondering, is this really the only way to live my life? That end of the year as things start coming to a close,
We often start that look back. And if you've ever looked back at a year and thought, I did so much, but I'm not sure I enjoyed it. I'm exhausted. So I didn't really have the capacity to do anything but survive. Then this episode is for you. I'm Landy Peak and this is a Landy Peak podcast.
And today we're not doing a typical end of the year recap. We're not making vision boards We're not pretending that there's a new calendar and it's going to magically reset your life and your nervous system. We're going to do something far more honest and far more powerful. We're gonna look at the year you just lived through the lens of your body, your nervous system and your identity. Because if you're like,
me, you probably identify as the strong one. And we're going to gently and quietly ask, what if next year isn't about pushing harder? What if it's about not abandoning yourself in the life you've already built?
So what I'm going to invite you to do before we talk about the year, I want to start talking about your body. Because as the strong one, part in you who carries it all, does it all, manages it all, negotiates it all, carries the emotional baggage is the, and I love this, my daughter's tutor called it the emotional trash can. And I was like,
She's like, moms are the emotional trash cans for their kiddos. And it's that we get dumped on because they've held it together all day long and they have to release it and process it. And so do you. But we often become the one that hears it all and takes it all in. And it's hard as the strong one, if that is your identity, like it is mine, that it's hard to ask for help.
because we do have strong shoulders. We can do a lot and we do a lot. And sometimes when we're asking for help, it feels like we might be a burden. That other people have just as much crap going on in their lives. So why share ours?
So instead of going back and looking at our year in the space of what did I do well? Where did I fall short? I'm a business owner. So of course I start looking at my finances and how were, you know, my sales this year. And did I do the things in my business that I set out to do in January and all of that kind of stuff. Great goal setting. All that's great. We look at how can I improve and do more next year? Your brain is really good at that.
Our brain likes to piece puzzles together and it's really good at looking at our failings or how we didn't quite measure up. We do train ourselves some to look at what's good and we celebrate the goals. But our nervous system is asking a different question than what we often are cognitively asking. So I'm going to invite you to kind of tune into your nervous system.
This last year, did you feel like a human or a machine? So wherever you are, if you're driving, walking, washing the dishes, hiding in the bathroom at a family gathering, I want you to do a tiny body check-in with me. You don't have to close your eyes or do anything like that. Just notice, where is there tension inside your body? Perhaps in your jaw or your shoulders or your belly.
How fast is your mind moving? And without changing anything, I'm gonna invite you to just notice, even state internally, this is where I am today. This is where I'm starting from. There's no fixing or optimizing. It's just data. This is where I am. And I realize,
in my own self. That sometimes I'm so go go go that it's like when I do pause it feels like the world is starting to like rush past me.
One of the things in my Magnetic Her program where we do a nervous system recalibration, which is an experiential hour together where you don't have to do anything but experience the nervous system shifts that I walk you through.
And one of the things that I bring into that is a change in the cadence of my voice. I consciously slow down my speech. I consciously have pauses. And I'm going to invite you, just like I invite my clients, to notice what happens inside your body as I slow my pace. Because for a lot of people,
The slower pace feels very uncomfortable, very activating. This slower pace makes you wanna hit like the speed up button so that I talk faster. The slower pace makes you wanna get up and move. For some people, and I'm not gonna talk in this slow pace the whole time, I promise, the slower pace feels good.
feels supported.
So noticing as I talked in a slower pace on a conscious level, what happened with your nervous system? Did it feel activating and anxiety producing or did it feel good? That just gives you data about where you are. If the slower pace voice made you on edge, your nervous system is functioning at a heightened level.
And so it's noticing when I talked about being human and machine, did you just go, go, do, do, do from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep, but you never lived and felt and experienced? I get in that state. We're just like, I've got so much to do and I can't do, do, do, do, And in that state, when I'm so hyper, I've got to get things done. I'm machine, not human.
It takes too long for anybody else to do anything. And so I just do it all. And it's awareness of where we are. So coming back to where are you today? Because this is how we're going to look at your year. Not in terms of achievements or failures or income or vacations, but in terms of what it costs your body.
to live the last year. And the last year was a lot for everybody.
often when we're looking at the end of the year reflections, we might make lists, our wins, our losses, our goals, the missed goals. I used to have my goal lists that I carry over for the next year. It's very brain-based, very performance-driven.
I want you or invite you to think about this past year in three snapshots. Not a list, just three moments that your body remembers. And you might not pick the biggest moments. You might not even pick the ones your brain thinks are important. I invite you to notice the ones your body still feels. Okay, I'm gonna walk you through it. First, I'm gonna invite you to find
And just think about whatever comes up first in your brain, that's it. That's the one. I'm going to invite you to find that one moment this year where you felt you were so overwhelmed and caring too much. The day that everything hit at once. Where you cried in the shower. The moment that you smiled and said, it's fine, I've got it.
Every cell in your body was whispering, I don't got it. I invite one of those scenes to come to mind.
I've got the one in my mind. The very visceral level of I don't got this.
I have one from three years ago that still popped into my brain as I spoke. It's like, whoo.
Let one of those scenes come to mind. Now, instead of replaying the story, because that's where we often go, I want you to put a little pause. And I invite you to notice, where do you feel that moment in your body right now? Is it in your chest, in your throat, behind your eyes, the back of your neck, the mid back? If, just get curious. When you brought up that
image, that moment in your head, where did you feel it in your body? If you feel safe to do so, tune in to that space.
We don't have to analyze it. We can just acknowledge your body saying, this was a lot I remember. And.
If you want to, you can get more concrete information about it wherever it was in your body.
What size is it? What color is it? Does it have a shape? A temperature? A texture?
We knew it has a memory. Does it have a story?
If it could move, what would it do? If it could speak, what would it say?
sometimes just honoring that place in our body.
can shift things so powerfully. And just tuning in, what does it need? What does it want? And without diving into a full therapy session, what can you give it right now? Perhaps that spot, and in my spot, was I really just needed
to be seen and validated for everything that I was doing at that moment.
And I didn't need anyone to step in and save me or help me or I just wanted somebody in that moment when I tuned into my body to say, hey, I see the load that you're carrying.
I really see it. I see how hard it is. I see how strong you are even if you don't feel it. I see it.
and just being seen.
shifts that little spot inside my body.
and it's like it just unwinds. So just tuning in, can you in this moment give yourself whatever you needed in that moment? Whether it's a hug or a walk or a glass of water, whether it's somebody saying something to you or you saying something to that person, can you imagine it?
really honoring that and it doesn't have to be going in and rewriting a whole story but just in that moment can you give yourself what you needed.
Now, I invite you to think about another moment. And this one is often a quieter moment.
This is the moment where you felt like yourself, not the big Instagram worthy version of you.
the true, authentic version of you. Maybe it was dancing and laughing in the kitchen. Or maybe it was sitting alongside a river. Or maybe it was dancing alone with a glass of wine. I don't know. When did it truly feel like you? Just let that come to mind.
And again, I invite you to ask, where do I feel that in my body? Maybe you feel a little bit more expansive. Maybe your chest feels more open or you feel some warmth in your face or softening in your belly. Notice that your body, it remembers this too. Our bodies do truly remember our stories.
It's all of our lives are written in our tissues. And so notice, notice that not just the big hard moments or the traumatic moments, but the quiet moments. Those are there too.
And now we're going to go to our third snapshot. And I invite you to think about a time, a moment this year when you knew something could not keep going the way it had been. It might have been an obvious pivotal moment where you were changing, perhaps a meltdown or a healthcare scare or a relationship rupture or
It might have been something subtle. A sentence that someone said that just like lit up in your brain.
that you can't forget that.
Maybe it's just a moment that you're like, I'm done. I can't do this anymore. I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I can't do this.
Again, where is it inside of your body? Sometimes turning points, those big pivotal moments that change our lives, don't feel big and powerful and amazing. They feel like collapse or anger or hollow numbness.
It's those pivotal points where I go bottom out and like, ⁓ I can't do this anymore. Then comes all the stories and I'm a failure and it's never working and it's like the bottom points and, ⁓
But that's the pivotal point, right?
I had someone tell me once that it's that point when you feel like nothing's working and you're banging your head against the wall. That's the pivotal point because in that next chapter, that's when things change. But too often we get to that point where we bang our head against the wall and nothing's working and instead of keeping going, we give up and try something different.
and it's the keeping going, the walking through the discomfort, the, my gosh, the world is completely crumbling, right? That's disassembling everything so that something new can come. But what I invite you to really notice is where in your body does that truth live?
Because I'm guessing if you think about that pivotal moment and it could be of collapse, it lives somewhere. Right now, there's a spot in my back that's like waving a flag, just as I talked about it. Tune in. What does it need? What does it want?
Whatever it is your body is telling the truth. Our bodies don't lie. Your body is telling the truth about your year. We're not judging any of it. I'm just inviting you to just start getting honest with it.
So now that we've seen the snapshots of your ear within your body.
I invite you to get curious about the thought that you did not get through this year on mindset alone. You got through this year on nervous system strategies you didn't even know you were using. Because in that moment of collapse, if you're anything like me, all of the mindset stuff, all the stories that I'm telling myself and the positive affirmations and anything that comes in like that, when I'm in
overwhelm and collapse? All that's out the window.
My nervous system kicks in and it starts running the show. And we might call it pushing through or we might say we're staying positive or being grateful, not making a big deal out of it, being easygoing
or holding it together, right? Our mindset might say, I'm pushing through or I'm just gonna stay positive or I'm gonna focus on my gratitude or I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it. I'm just gonna let it go. Or I'm just gonna be easygoing and just not throw a fit or I'm just gonna hold it together. The mind can talk us in and out of whatever story, but our body, our body at a cellular level,
It's telling the story and your body calls that moment survival. And there's nothing wrong with survival. I want to be very clear because I think somehow our nervous system, fight, flight, or freeze and survival has become something that we don't want. We don't want to be stuck in it, but we want a very clear system that helps us survive.
Survival responses are brilliant. They are the part of you that said, will do what we have to to get through this. But what happens for strong, over capable women is that survival becomes our identity. Not just I handled a hard season, but I am the one who always handles the hard seasons. I'm the one who does it all. I'm always the one who has to get it done.
I'm the one who has to stay calm in the storm. I'm the one everybody leans on and gets the emotional garbage. And that identity, that's great. It's gotten us a long way. But here's the thing.
us more than we realize.
Do feel exhausted all the time? When you could sleep in and still feel exhausted? Do you wake up bracing for the day? Do you?
Pride yourself so much in what you can do that when something doesn't go your way, you don't make the money that you want or have the vacations that you want or hit the goals that you set that somehow you're a failure.
Are you really good at overriding your own signals? I'm exhausted, so I'm gonna take some supplements and drink coffee and whatever. Resentment.
Perhaps you're bored or you're angry or you're hungry or you're thirsty or you have to pee. But you just kind of turn those signals down
It's because you've gotten so used to asking, can I handle it? Instead of, is this good for me? Do I actually want this?
We're really good at navigating and negotiating things. But nobody's doubting that you can handle it.
But what would happen if I invited you to just let go of stuff in your life for just a little while?
If you took time to rest and relax at home, not like going on a vacation where it's easier to do.
Can you feel the anxiety that comes up? What's the first thought that comes? Well, if I don't do it, nobody's gonna do it. my gosh, I can't just let things go. Do you know what the house would look like? I know, I've thought them. So as we tune in, I'm not interested in what boxes you checked, how successful or unsuccessful you felt you are. I wanna touch in and I'm...
I'm more interested in how much of yourself you had to leave behind to get those boxes checked.
I can do a lot of stuff for my business out in public, but there's times where I'm pushing past my comfort zone and not in a we're stretching a little bit, but in a, my gosh, I really shouldn't have taken on that thing.
and I realized that it wasn't benefiting me because when I said yes to taking on something that I thought I should do because it made me look better or more successful or whatever, I ended up resenting it and being grumpy.
So one of the things that I've talked in another episode about is gaslighting our own selves because we gaslight ourselves all the time.
We tell ourselves, it's not that bad. I should be grateful. Other people have it worse. This was a really hard one for me this year. My husband was in a car accident and so...
Anytime I had something that came up, I didn't feel like I could say, I have a headache because he had a worse one and he was in a car accident. And
Anytime I was tired, I didn't feel like I could say, I'm really exhausted because he had a hard time sleeping because he was in pain. Right? So other people have it worse. It was constantly censoring and gaslighting my own experiences because more censoring. I still honored them inside me, but I didn't feel like I could share because his was worse.
Was mine less valid? No.
We think I need to just be more disciplined. I need to push harder. And then the I can rest or do or whatever once this season is over. But you know what? It never ends. We just set a new goal and keep going. We never allow our systems to downshift.
to even take a big breath.
I want you to hear this. This isn't about broken systems or being behind or you're not failing at healing. This is one that's come up for clients a lot this year is that they've done so much healing work, so much cognitive work around therapy. They've the books, they've listened to the podcasts and they still have whatever it is that came up in the moment of stress. They
They're failing at healing. And it's like, no.
We're not supporting your foundation. This is where the nervous system work that I love is coming in because this shifts from, am constantly on the go and not safe to I am safe in this moment. We are living in a culture that rewards our survival patterns and calls them strength. And this episode is really to shine a light, not to shame anything that you've done.
But to have a loving conversation about, can you see the cost?
because this was me a couple of years ago. And it became my mission to try to catch women before they spiral and crash and burn so that we can start resourcing ourselves, that we can understand our systems are different than men's systems. Our nervous systems are different than men's nervous systems, and we need to support them in different ways.
While cold plunges work great for men, they don't work the same for women. Right? We hear a lot of, let's bring in some tools, but everything is designed for men. So let's shift the story. Let's start looking at, we aren't allowed to down regulate because we don't live in a space and a society that is safe for women. So we are always on edge.
We are expected to carry and hold everything. I want to say, see you. At a deep, fundamental cellular level, I feel that same weight. I can't say same, similar. I identify with holding that.
There's so much that we hold and have and the emotional baggage that comes with it.
And I just want, as we step into the next year.
In end of 2026, when we're sitting and having a conversation, I want it to be a different body felt year for you. Not the overwhelm, not the exhaustion, not the constant buzz because you don't know how to down, downshift because no one has ever co-regulated with your body just to show you how, because we're trying to shift our nervous system through thoughts instead of co-regulation.
I'm gonna invite you to just picture that year and see picture 2025, year that just happened. Where did my body say no? But I overrode it with a yes.
Think about the invitations you accepted, the projects you took on, the emotional labor you did, the late nights that you said yes to when you were past done. This isn't to beat yourself up. This is just to see clearly.
Where did I abandon myself in the name of being reliable, agreeable, easy, strong, the one that handles it all?
And in doing all of that, sitting here today, do you feel like you were recognized and honored and celebrated for all of the sacrifices that you made?
Or do you feel like you were just ignored again? You carried it, but you're like me in that moment was like, please just see me see the way I'm not asking you to change my load. I'm just asking for recognition that you see that I'm carrying it.
Where did you feel yes in your body that you talked yourself out of? Perhaps a creative idea, a trip you wanted to take, a conversation you wanted to initiate, a boundary you wanted to set, a way of playing, resting, or moving your body that felt alive. But perhaps fear, guilt, or other people's comfort or words talked you out of it.
Beginning of 2025, I was going to do a lot of public speaking.
I did not do a lot of public speaking this year. And it's not that I had less desire, it's that I kept putting other things first. I can definitely go into the whys behind it because it felt a lot safer to do this, that, or the other in my business or make excuses that I couldn't go because of whatever. But that's not it.
So in 2026, I'm going to do a lot more public speaking and I'm claiming it here because in sharing in community, we're more supported. It's not accountability. It's not that somebody's going to say, ⁓ have you done this yet? Is that I'm owning it. And there's a difference in sharing in somebody's going to be writing you to make sure you do it and sharing in, I want to honor.
that I want to do this. And I don't need anyone checking up on me, but I need to own it.
When did you most like yourself this year? I'm going to say that again because I don't think it's something that we're asked often. When did you most like yourself this year?
What was happening when you liked you? Was there a moment in the last 12 months that you liked you?
What made it possible? What was happening? What were the conditions? When did you feel most like yourself? So there's a difference. Feeling most like me and liking me. And that's a powerful one. Your nervous system doesn't just catalog threat. It catalogs safety and aliveness and authenticity.
because your nervous system doesn't just catalog threats. It catalogs safety and the liveness and authenticity.
So tuning in, what were those moments where you felt like you, where you liked you?
Were you laughing? Were you with a particular person? Were you doing work that lights you up, not just work you're good at?
Was it when you were in nature?
When you're alone, when you're surrounded by people and lots of stuff, things going on.
What was the pace of life? These details matter because they're like a map your body is drawing for you.
So another question that I'm curious about is what did this year ask me to outgrow? This one is a uncomfortable one and it's one that as I sat with it with myself.
I don't like the answer.
And it's.
It's in those moments where it's like, where did this year ask me to outgrow? What, not where, what did this year ask me to outgrow?
And sometimes those answers aren't things that we're ready to let go of.
So for me, the answer that came was one-on-one sessions in my practice, no longer doing one-on-one sessions. And so I'm sitting with that because I don't really want to let go of one-on-one sessions. And there's a variety of reasons of why, but that's the answer that came. And so just because we have that data doesn't mean we have to act right away. So
Maybe what this year asked you to outgrow was ways of over explaining myself. This one was a big thing I was aware of this year. I think it's something I outgrew last year, but it's the over explaining. It's sharing. Nope. Sorry, I'm not available for that without the extra added explanation.
Perhaps it's patterns of apologizing for existing.
We see this a lot, we do this a lot. I'll bring back in Jen Jones Donatelli's interview. The no disclaimer zone. How many times did you give a disclaimer? Disclaimer being.
I just threw this together. I just didn't have much time. Right? All the things that kind of downplay actually what we did.
when somebody says, my gosh, you look great, saying, ⁓ you too, instead of thank you. I had to work on that one just to thank you without the need to say it back. Perhaps you outgrew friendships or dynamics where you were always the emotional parent. Perhaps you outgrow systems in your home or schedules that only work if you're over-functioning.
invite you to ask yourself, what did this year make impossible to ignore anymore? Because if you're not ready to change it yet, your honesty is already a shift. Because just because we know what's there doesn't mean we have to overhaul it.
Your nervous system is a living, breathing record of everything that you've survived and everything you long for. So as you look back at this year, I invite you to resist the urge to judge any reaction.
Instead, maybe reframe. What was my body trying to protect me from? When you snapped at your kids, when you froze in a difficult conversation, when you said yes, even though you met no, when you numbed out on your phone or over functioned at work, your body's not trying to sabotage you. This is such a big thing that so many coaches try to share and push is that
You come up to something and you self-sabotage. You're not self-sabotaging. Your body was doing the best it knew how to do with the tools it had.
I want you to hear this because I don't think many people say it. You are allowed to be proud of yourself for surviving.
And, and, and you still get to decide that this next year, 2026, you want more than survival. You're allowed to be grateful for what you have and, and still admit that the way you're holding it all doesn't feel sustainable anymore. We are not replacing self-gaslighting with spiritual gaslighting. We're not saying love and light, everything happens for a reason, be grateful. We're saying, thank you, body.
Thank you for getting me here.
Thank you for helping me survive.
Because sometimes it is survival. It's not that things were great or good or felt good or that you liked the outcome, but you survived and you're here. So thank you for getting me here. Sometimes I even like put in the little disclaimer. Thank you for getting me here in the most shitty way that you could possibly do it, but we got here. Because sometimes we don't like how it did it.
But we're here and I'm grateful that I'm here and I'm grateful that I'm breathing.
It's time to update from gaslighting ourselves to honoring ourselves. So let's talk about how you actually close a year when you are the
what most women do is one of two things. They white-knuckle it through the holidays and collapse in January, or they set a thousand intentions for the next year
from a place of exhaustion and self-disgust. Neither of those are nervous system friendly ways to support yourself. So I wanna offer you a third option. Find one sentence that honestly names your experience of this year. Not a polished Instagram version, the real one.
It might be this year stretched me past my capacity more times than I want to admit. This year was a blur of doing and proving. And I want something different.
This year broke my heart and also showed me how strong I really am. This year woke me up to how much I've been abandoning my own body. Whatever it is, say it out loud if you can. Write it down if you want. It's a starting point.
And then ask, what did this year cost me Emotionally, physically and relationally. Maybe it cost you sleep or creativity or patience with your kids or intimacy or your sense of humor. I want you to very consciously remove the words I should have from this. We're not doing a blame audit.
We're a truth audit.
So what if we shifted? Not a whole life overhaul, but just one thing. I'm no longer willing to sacrifice my body's need for rest, just so other people won't be disappointed. I'm no longer willing to sacrifice every evening to everyone else's needs. I'm no longer willing to sacrifice my creativity because I'm scared of being seen. I'm no longer willing to sacrifice my nervous system to keep the peace.
There's power in naming this before the year ends. You're not waiting for the clock to strike midnight to decide that you will not abandon yourself in the same way.
something that supports your body's capacity, not just your productivity.
Choose one way you will support your nervous system next year. Just one. Something that supports your body's capacity, not just your productivity. It might be a weekly walk without your phone or just on music. A non-negotiable bedtime a few nights a week. 10 minutes of nothing time after work before you talk to anyone.
A monthly session with someone who can hold you, so you're not holding it all on your own. Committing to paying attention to your early signs of overwhelm and still instead of waiting until you snap. It doesn't have to be flashy. In fact, the most supportive practices often look incredibly ordinary. The goal is not to become a perfectly regulated robot. The goal is to become a woman who notices her own signals and believes herself.
Before we look ahead, I want to speak directly to the part of you that feels like you should have done better this year. The part that thinks I knew this stuff and I still abandoned myself. I teach people this. Why am I not further along? I should be more grateful, more patient, more regulated, more calm. I invite you to picture her.
The one who lived this year. The you who got up on the day she didn't want to, who carried mental lists nobody else sees, who held other people's emotions while hers sat in the waiting room, who kept moving even when her body said, please stop. And I want you to hear this. You didn't fail this year. You adapted splendidly. You did what you needed to do with the tools, support and capacity that you had. Could things have been different if you had more help?
More safety, more space? Yes, of course. But you didn't have those things.
So I'm going to go back. You did what you needed to do with the tools, support and capacity you had.
You didn't have all of the extra support that you needed and you still made it here. There is
a reverence I want you to have for that version of yourself. Not because we're idolizing survival, but because we're not going to build your next year on a foundation of self-contempt. The woman you are does not grow out of self-hatred.
She grows out of deep, clear, rounded self-regard. So if you can...
place a hand on your heart or whatever feels right. Give yourself a hug and thank you for getting you through this year. Thank you for getting me through this year.
You don't have to fully believe it. Your system will catch up to the words over time. Here's a glimpse into your next year.
not in terms of resolutions or brand new you or a complete personality remodel. I invite you to imagine that next year is not asking you to be more. It's asking you to be more you less performing, less pretending you're okay when you're not less sacrificing your own nervous system to manage everyone else's more honesty, more slowness where your body craves it, more coziness, more aliveness where you've gone numb.
I have three simple prompts for you to carry into this new year.
More of this, please.
Think of one thing this year that felt good, nourishing, true, even if it happened just once.
What do you want more of?
The next one, no more of this one pattern dynamic or commitment that felt like sandpaper to your soul. What are you done pretending is okay? And I'm curious about something you don't fully understand yet, but your body lights up a new way of working, relating, resting, creating. You don't have to commit yet. Curiosity alone is a form of aliveness. You don't need a five year plan right now.
you need contact with your own truth. If you do nothing else with this episode except answer those three prompts, you're already relating to your life differently than most people. If this
conversation is landing for you. If you're feeling a mix of relief, and possibility, I want you to know you don't have to do this part alone. This podcast is just one way I walk with you. I also have spaces where we go much deeper into nervous system healing, identity reclamation, and learning how to live as the woman you actually are, not just the one everyone relies on. Because when we hit this midlife,
time, So many of us lose touch with who we are. I just want to feel like me again. But you don't know how.
I'd love to support you in a deeper way.

choices and a refusal to abandon yourself the way you're used to. As we close, I want to leave you with a kind of blessing,
Here's my wish for you, that next year is not defined by how perfectly you hold it all together, by how willing you are to let yourself be fully, beautifully human. That you stop measuring your worth and how much you endure and start honoring your power and how honestly you can respond to what your body knows.
that you find pockets of quiet where you meet yourself again, that you laugh more, the kind of laugh that shakes something loose, that you grieve what needs grieving without apologizing for being too much, and that when you look back a year from now, you don't just see what you did, you recognize who you became. Thank you for listening this year. Thank you for trusting me to speak into the tender, complicated, beautiful reality of your life. I'm so grateful you're here.
and I cannot wait to keep walking with you in whatever this next season brings. Until then, give yourself a little more kindness than feels comfortable. You're not behind, you're right on time. I'm
and I'll talk to you in the next year.
