“Who do you think you are?”
This reel started with a love letter and turned into something much deeper.
In this Sunday’s Coffee at Dawn letter, I’m writing about the fears we carry around self-love, the way we talk to ourselves, and how to begin shifting your inner voice.

INK & INTENTION

Chico locals, This is more than journaling— it's a practice of returning to yourself.

Expect warmth, vulnerability, and the kind of connection that changes things.

Please share with anyone who needs a little personal growth, reflection, safety, and nervous system regulation.

I’m so excited to offer this workshop!(And THRILLED with myself for figuring out how to create a QR code!)

Please register soon if you want to join. 20 spots available. 🥰

Share with anyone who needs support regulating their nervous system in this f*cking chaos.

We all have fear. We all have negative self talk. Confidence comes from looking inward and embracing every single part of yourself. Excavate the shame.

#confidence #imperfections #selftalk #shame #vulnerability #embracinghumanity

I love you; keep going

I doomscrolled, immobilized until noon.

➖Finally, I ate.
➖A tiny boost of my quickly diminishing estrogen prescription
➖Started some laundry
➖Took a walk
➖Reached out for connection
➖Deep breaths
➖Currently watching Bridgerton and folding my clothes.

To myself: I love you; keep going. 💋

“There’s nothing I won’t share if it can help someone else. That thing we think will destroy us? It can transform into something beautiful.”
Ashley and Me @creativeselfloveclub podcast, where we talked about childhood trauma, mindfulness, & even naked shamelessness. Raw, real, and full of heart!

Give yourself permission

“The work we are doing is saving my life.” – Karen A

“I’ve noticed being gentler with myself and setting boundaries like a motherf*cker.”-Heather M

“You have shown me healthy ways of communicating that affect all the relationships in my life in a positive way.” – Melanie M

I love you; keep going.

The way we present ourselves in the world affects those around us. Even when we think our actions don’t matter, they do. People are watching and taking inspiration from our authentic selves. Be the role model that others need.

Do you know how?

#BeAuthentic #BeARoleModel #PeopleAreWatching

How to navigate this f*cking chaos??!

Practice radical self-care, lean into love and joy, and be your most authentic self!

I love you; keep going.

SSA being dismantled, people not getting checks they need to survive, Dpt of Ed being destroyed, universities defunded, passports taken, healthcare denied, teachers&professors fired, travelers arrested in airports, detention centers filling up… &so much more chaos. It’s hard to breathe this morning.

(Edit to include attention to safety. I recognize and respect that for some folks, putting their authentic selves on display could be life-threatening. Stay safe, my loves.)

I BELIEVE IN YOU Normative culture encourages conformity— shrinking for approval. Sure, that is one way to live. 💀 Another possibility is to stretch outside of the box and SAVOR your authentic self. 🤸‍♀️☀️Is it risky? Yes. Not for the faint of heart. Is it worth it? ABSOLUTELY 💯

It means so much to me that people follow me on social media, read my Coffee at Dawn email letters, listen to my podcast (“I Love You; Keep Going”), and hire me to help them access the 🔥 within!

Thank you, KD, for sharing this with me!

I love you; keep going! 💋

There’s NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!
