Happy Tuesday, Reader!
Summer's already busy for most of us and maybe burnout is creeping in. This week, I'm keeping things short and sweet, and I'm sharing an amazing new offer from a friend that's perfect for we ladies who are in perimenopause.
Let's get into it!

❤️🔥WHAT YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU
When You're Doing Everything Right, But Things Keep Going "Wrong"
Hot flashes, sleep interruptions, weight gain, brain fog, late night wake ups, racing thoughts, and mood swings...who knew perimenopause would be so fun? (No, wrong "f" word...)
The good news is I've got a solution for you. My friend, Erika, Certified Menopause Coach Specialist and all-around genuine, grounded, and talented person, just launched her 4-week reset just in time for summer. Check out MenoPoise Light, a self-guided reset that also includes a 30-day subscription to her online workout program, MOVE AND WIN (I'm a member and I LOVE it!). Seriously, this is an amazing opportunity to reset your sleep, energy, and gain insight on your nutrition, guilt- and shame-free.
Yes, this is an affiliate link, but I swear by Erika's work. I wouldn't be sharing it if I didn't!

🗳️THIS IS POLITICAL (AND PERSONAL)
Social Media Dangers We Should All Know About
Ok, this bit of news has less to do with us and more to do with the next generation, but it's still important to know about lawsuits like this...and the pressures that social media puts on ALLLL of us.
More than 1,400 school districts filed lawsuits against Meta, Snap, TikTok, and YouTube for marketing to students DURING the school day 😱 Snapchat sent alerts during school hours to encourage posting from classrooms. Meta paid "teen ambassadors" to promo Instagram. TikTok gave millions of dollars to the National PTA partly to sponsor school events and provide favorable comments to journalists.
So if social media platforms are targeting kids and teens like this, how are they targeting us?

🪤THE TRAP
Assuming that social media accounts (or any online accounts) are there to serve us only.
|
|
💪THE MOVE
Use social intentionally and remember that companies will use unethical methods to get what they want from you.

🧘♀️ONE THING TO RELEASE THIS WEEK
Holding in Your Emotions
Look, I'm a product of a long line of "good Southern women," who were pretty and poised over everything. As such, I was taught not to make a stink and keep my feelings to myself if they weren't socially acceptable.
Make a stink. Hell, make a big ol' scene if that's what's necessary. Express your emotions, because if you don't, you might be hurting yourself energetically and physically.
SPEAKING YOUR MIND DOESN'T MAKE YOU "BAD."

🪄THE WOO HAS RECEIPTS
Mindfulness & Reiki Shows a Reduction of Joint Pain
A multi-university study found that just 4 short sessions of Reiki and mindfulness reduced knee pain in osteoarthritis patients. The effects of Reiki were comparable to the mindfulness practices, but far better than the "sham Reiki" methods experienced by the control group.
To be fair, the "sham Reiki" group experienced a short-term improvement of symptoms, suggesting our mind plays a big role in pain management, but it was only the recipients of genuine Reiki who experienced longer-term relief.
I love that research like this exists! If you do too, I suggest Dr. David R. Hamilton's book, Why Woo-Woo Works. Let me know if you read it!
Book your first (or next) Reiki session with me here.

🌙COSMIC CORNER
Mercury's Entering its Pre-Retrograde Shadow
This Friday, June 12, Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow, so thing are about to get a little annoying (sorry, sorry, I know!). The planet is slowing down and will go retrograde on June 29 (because who doesn't need more pressure on a Monday!). It'll be in Cancer, though, so it's going to be a great time to connect with your intuition, inner world, and how you fit into the larger collective.
Just say no to picking up that phone call from an ex lover or ex friend this Mercury Retrograde season! |
