Happy Sunday Reader!

After moving through a surprising, energizing and challenging Eclipse Season, towards the end of last week I had a huge revelation. The first quarter of 2025 is officially over!

It has been a really weird year so far.

Starting the year grieving my mom’s passing, having LA be on fire for weeks so soon after my big move cross country, the insanity of the government, plus all of the little machinations of getting settled in a new place after living in the same city for 20+ years.

And then this was all pretty punctuated with some big shifts between the Lunar Eclipse on March 14 and the Solar Eclipse on March 29th.

The big gifts and realizations that came through for me during Eclipse season were varied (and some easier and more welcome than others):

1. I said goodbye to two FWB relationships and started dating again.
   ​
   ​I realized that now that I'm settled in California that I want something really different from what felt good, fun and energizing in 2024. And that meant making a new choice, as uncomfortable as it is. (Yes, I will share dating stories, when the time feels right.)
   ​
2. I made the difficult decision to close The Year of Ease membership and The Pack (my free Circle community). The last day to access The Pack is tomorrow April 7th.
   ​
   Along with this decision came the realization that I’m not the kind of coach and healer that is meant to have a bunch of low-cost offerings designed for a large group.
   ​
   The kind of work I do actually works best when I offer high touch coaching in small groups and 1:1.
   ​
   To make this sustainable and profitable (which is the whole reason to have a business by the way), I am raising my rates and honing in on The Embodied Actor as my primary offer. This will be a high-touch small group program designed to help you go deep and make truly sustainable changes in your life and career. (More details to come in the next couple of weeks.)
   ​
3. This is the last edition of Weekend Wisdom.
   ​
   My new newsletter The Embodied Way feels like the natural evolution of my work.
   ​
   When I started Weekend Wisdom in 2020, I had no idea what form my coaching practice would take and now that I do, I know that renaming and refocusing my newsletter on Embodiment will ultimately help me reach and support more people who are ready to do this work. I’m still figuring out the new schedule for newsletters - letting my body lead the way on this one - but as soon as I know more details, you will too!!
   ​
4. I went back to teaching Pilates here in California.
   ​
   I really fought this one. I wanted so much to have my coaching practice be my primary source of income and I had to recognize that it isn’t working (yet), so that I can take care of myself and lay down really long lasting roots here. (Stability is the foundation for success.)
   ​
   The cool thing about this one is that I’ve been reminded so much about how teaching Pilates was actually the first time I delved into my gifts as a healer more than 20 years ago. So even though I resisted this evolution, there is already great wisdom coming through in this for me to further integrate physical alignment work from my Pilates background with my Embodiment and Energy Work offerings.

Now it’s your turn, Reader, because if you want to really create change in your life, it is important to not only learn new things but to actually integrate them.

Here are some journal prompts to get you started:

1. What are the big goals I set at the beginning of 2025?
2. What is working well as I reach for these goals?
3. What are the challenges? Where am I feeling stuck or frustrated?
4. Are all of my big goals still feeling aligned?
5. For anything that isn’t feeling aligned, how can I approach these goals differently or let them go?
6. For the challenges ... What are the lessons that are showing up for me that I may have missed? How can I use these lessons or realizations to shift gears, take new approaches or change my goals?

For even more support, take advantage of one of these Spring Embodiment Sale offers (which end tomorrow, btw).
