Cutie patootie kiddo! Worldwide event am still dealing with the effects at my work it may take moths to get everyone updated. You don’t even want to know…. I wish someone would bring us donuts!

Thank you for sharing a peak into your world in this way. I found it so humanizing and normalizing for my own trials and tribulations in relationship to the mundane. Thank you for this reminder that this is life.

I feel like you may enjoy Ashley’s breath work immersion with me- OR- her book, How To Breathe. I know you have some incredible regulation tips for the world too.

I love learning from and with you!! ✨

My son would like me to give you these specific emojis- please enjoy: 💋❤️‍🔥💎🏆🐓

Oh my goodness, I loved this SO MUCH. Thank you for letting us into your inner world, for so beautiful weaving it into EQ (seeing how it ties into real life was really helpful!) and for the pic of your amazing boy in those GLASSES. I hung on every word!!

The difficult and delicate balance of being a mom and a partner and an employee. It is exhausting and then throw in some IT MESS! Oh lord. I am weirdly drawn to peoples a day in my life sharing and this one was eerily similar to mine. I love how you incorporated the 4 pillars! I’ve been sharing this info with my own clients and it’s really been resonating. 🩵

Oh what a long day that was for you (and so many!) I had the day scheduled off of work to go for my yearly mammogram! Thankfully all the machines were working, but I know they were out in many other places!

After most long days, I like to get into my tub and soak. Or take my kids out for impromptu ice cream for dinner (a treat for me too, because I don't have to cook!)

How amazing that you had the day off!!

And a tub soak sounds like the perfect ending to a mermaids long day. Also. Ice cream. Yes. 🙌

This was like reading about myself from another persons perspective. I actually felt anxious FOR you, which shows how much I resonated. I feel like this on a daily basis and it’s exhausting. It’s definitely a control thing, I wanna control EVERYTHING from how my day goes, what happens, how people feel, what people think of me. Obviously I can’t freaking do that so, yeah, exhaustion. I’ve given breathwork a go but never for too long (I have the attention span of something with a bad attention span) but I’m curious to check out the links you shared. I’m aware of all the EQ but it’s hard to action it sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing, it’s nice to know we’re not alone 🫶

Hello Ms Cake!!

Thank you so very much for reading and taking the time to chime in with your feedback and support!

I agree. Remembering to actually USE EQ in the heat of the moment is SO HARD.

You are not alone my friend. Good company here. 🤍

MA'AM THIS WAS AMAZING I WAS HOOKED LIKE A 12LB TROPHY BASS WHILST HANGING ONTO EVERY WORD!!! I can't believe you encountered the great blue screen of death!!! What a day! Your son is ADORABLE, and you handled what life threw at you like an EQ CHAMP! 🥊 Looooove breathwork! Definitely one of my top go-to's for stress management. And can't wait to check out what you linked! I love journaling as well! ✨️ p.s. does your son really call all the people in your contacts??? I would be terrified of letting my daughter do that when she was younger cuz... what if I actually had to talk to the peoples 🤣

Megan!!! Megan. THESE WORDS WILL FOREVER MORE BE SEARED IN MY MIND FOR WHEN I NEED BACK UP. Thank you. 🙏

And YES GIRL. I am ALWAYS in the MOST COMPROMISING position when he makes his calls and then decides to FACETIME and hand me the phone. ☠️ I have been changing clothes. I have been on the toilet. In the shower… you’d think I’d learn… SOS

Hi K.Alexandra, thank you for sharing. My teenage daughter calls me a doormat….😳 i am doing small baby steps that are milestones for me. Self isolation, breathing and exercise make me think clearer….

Katerina, your self care practice sounds essential! Hopefully your daughter grows out of this phase soon. I constantly think about my son growing up and acting differently towards me.
