I admire all you do, Stephanie! The fact that you send out an excellent weekly post, produce and host a podcast, raise kids, and take care of pets blows my mind. I can barely get a post out each week and I have hardly anything to do. I thought I was alone in writing several drafts and abandoning them. 😀I keep trying to remind myself to just write what I feel like writing and maybe others enjoy it, but if they don’t, c’est la vie. I’d love to send you something fun via snail mail. I’ll email you to get your addy. Sending hugs and hope the storm has passed a bit. 🩷
THIS!! YES: I keep trying to remind myself to just write what I feel like writing and maybe others enjoy it, but if they don’t, c’est la vie.
Thanks for the admiration. This is probably annoying to read but during my anxiety I was convinced I didn't do shit all week and felt bad about it. When I wrote down what I had going on, I was reminded how much important things I actually do!
I sent my first pen pal note out to a writer in Scotland! Send me your address, it was so fun to send a card in the mail!
Thanks for sharing honestly Stephanie, I would say that these times of transition and change are rocky and sometimes letting go of all expectations and pressure on yourself is the kindest thing to do. I say this as a reminder to myself to allow these emotions to rise and process them without judgement until they pass, which they will. Sending you blessings of love and light. 🙏💫
I love the honesty Stephanie and you are definitely not alone in these thoughts. It's a constant battle at times isn't it? But as you say, the feeling will pass and that moment of calm will arrive 💜🙏
Thank you for saying this! It’s an isolating feeling. I remember talking to my friend on the phone yesterday and I was so over the feeling and didn’t tell her about it even though it was hovering over me and how I communicated with her
I totally get that. You just sort of paper over it don't you and act like everything is ok? I guess it's not wanting to burden that person, at least that's how I feel when I'm having those sorts of feelings.
I could have written a similar post today and am typing my response to yours from the treadmill, with the knowledge that I can release some of the anxiety I am experiencing by moving my body. Some, not all. This time of year always, I find, a bit difficult on the self... Love your photos, and your honesty. Also, that incense prompt ❤️
Yes, an international pen pal would be a dream! What's your email? If you're serious, I'm going to send you my home address and we can begin our analog journey. Good for you to move your body. I practiced yoga at the studio 3x this week, including hot yoga. I bet you I would have felt a lot worse if I didn't move my body. Thank you for this wonderful comment!
You’re doing everything the right way as far as I can tell, you struck me to be someone with a strong sense of self and your writing shows that. Hope the inner turmoils lead to a breakthrough and not despair. Know this familiar feeling all too well sadly. « À chaque jour suffit sa peine. »
Thank you. You saying this means a lot to me: you struck me to be someone with a strong sense of self and your writing shows that
It did feel good to stop writing everything else and work on writing organically from what was happening to me in real time. It was great to speak with you yesterday. You are brilliant.
Yes, I have gotten so much better at giving myself the grace to say stop. I used to ignore the signs for too long and then I’m practically mentally and physically paralyzed. Letting go of expectations is so important, it’s something I practice a lot being a mom too! This applies to myself as well

Brave and useful, both ☺️
I thought of you when I put the legs up the wall pose in here :)
Thank you for sharing Stephanie
Thank you Sian! Hi, how are you!
I’ve been struggling abit this week with anxiety to be honest so your post was very timely. I’ve been thinking to write about it as well ❤️
Love your altar! Also really like the pen pal idea 💡
Looks like Lindsay and I are going to try it! Want to be my other pen pal?
Yessss!

You fancy a Scotland-based pen-pal, Stephanie?!

With you there.
