Oh my goodness Jessica I am so sorry to hear of this loss in your life. I am praying to the universe to care for your friend and her babies, and it is so clear she must have a beautiful network of support given that you are in it, and from what you have said about her husband. He clearly survived in September 2001 to be alive for those children he rescued, and that is a miracle. Sending you so much love ❤️

Amanda I have two go-tos! One of my biggest favorites is putting on Vitamin String Quartet Radio. Something about their music being covers gives my brain something to look for and listen to actively which helps with my anxiety. And you can always tailor a playlist if you’re looking for more melodical (they do a lot of fantasy movie covers) or pop/modern. But it’s all string covers! Secondly, and this may not be what you’re looking for, but if I’m having some real heavy anxiety, I will find binaural music on YouTube or Spotify. The way the sound waves work is supposedly very good for rewiring your brain, kind of like how a good stretch does for your nervous system! Hope these help love!!!

I love this!! You’re reminding me I need to do more activities before the summer is over! So glad you have this memory with your family! ❤️

I love them too! My parents did it with me, so it’s fun to keep it alive! ❤️

And Marnie was right, it holds up! But I couldn’t keep from dancing the whole movie to that bop 😂

Monique that is SO special. I’m choked up reading this. A mother’s affirmation that you’re in the right place is like no other ❤️

I always look so forward to these challenges. I find it so helpful for me to take the choice work out of what workout I want to do, and instead just ask “can I do today’s one? No? Yes?” and if not find a shorter or gentler one, and if so challenge myself to do it! Aiming for 30/60 has been such a big help, and a big lesson for setting boundaries for myself! Life gets so busy but it’s nice to have this community show up for one another every day, it fillls me with so much hope and gratitude. Loving the challenge and loving this fam ❤️❤️❤️

You’ve got this love! You are being kind and gentle with yourself by just acknowledging where you’re at. Give yourself space this month!!!! I’m sending you so much hope and hugs. You’ll get through this and look back on it no matter how it goes and say to yourself “I did that. I’m strong.” Your stength inspires me!!! Reach out if you need anything : a chat, a coffee gift card, a virtual hug ❤️. Love you lots!!!

This is so beautiful! I love that these exercises challenge us to feel comfy in our skin. And we can hold each other through that process. Sending you warmth and hugs Sha!!
