I’m still so happy we got not just one, but two 🙌🏻🦋🙌🏻

What a story and lesson. Also echoing everyone else, super happy you’re ok. And ofcourse you’d be Lady Liberty 🙌🏻

FaithKellyArt you’re so right Faith. Funny how our mental muscles work similar to the physical ones. With the proper form, we get stronger. And I get to practice even more tomorrow, because I flight out to join the kiddos.

Also major congrats, babe! We’re all so happy for you 🍾!

“If nothing changes, nothing changes.” A recent thing I heard… tangentially, “if there’s resistance, that’s how the muscles grow.”

Hopefully you don’t mind the platitudes but you’ve got this. I’m rooting for you, and your clarity 💜

This can be so tough if you feel like you’re the only one advocating for yourself. But you are strong, you know you, and this intention is such a goodie. You got this one 💪🏻

Ok, friend. This stuff works. I’m so glad you have such a specific intention to love yourself 🫶🏻

Caroline S. Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻

Cass you are a Queen, love 🫶🏻

Mali P. Thank you 🫶🏻

Some of you may know/remember, a few years ago I struggled with an almost debilitating fear of flying. I lost weight, couldn't eat, barely slept... M/body was an incredible resource for me through all of this, a safe landing spot for my anxiety. I carry so much of what we chat about in class with me when I'm afraid, btw. Fast forward to present: this morning, I watched both of my kiddos take off on a cross country flight to "Grandparent Camp"  as unaccompanied minors for the first time. They've since landed and everything is well, but it was a HUGE and hard thing for me to allow, given my own history of fear. I practiced so much intention around this event, from breath work, to reasoning, to staying active. Last week, I serendipitously did a workout where Marnie talked about the "white light of safety" her mom used to send her off with, which was a wild coincidence. I FELT this deeply watching my kiddos board the plane today. While quiet tears did come once my kids were out of sight, ultimately, I was ok, and Marnie's words felt like an invisible hug. So maybe my biggest intention for the rest of this month is bravery. The idea that I don't have to remove the fear, but practice the correct response to it. Wishing the same intention for anyone with similar challenges 🫶 (and thank you all for bearing with Amanda's Story Time)
