    At the airport, heading home, ready to kiss our ki At the airport, heading home, ready to kiss our kids. It’s been an incredible few days, exploring a new place, new opportunities and sharing so much of my heart with all of you. And while that’s MORE than enough. What I’m even more grateful for is this crazy life I’ve built with this man right here - and our four healthy kids who are safe at home waiting for mom and dad to come home and smother them with kisses. Hug you people close today. Give them an extra kiss and let’s be extra kind today - to each other and ourselves. ❤️🤍💙
    I’m not sure I’ll get this right…..so bear w I’m not sure I’ll get this right…..so bear with me for a moment as I try and find the words Last night as I was crawling into bed, listening to the rain, I started crying. Not a lot. Just a few tears. I wasn’t sad though. It was something different. A deep gratitude and awareness of the gravity of the moment…. But as I wiped my tears away….I looked at J and these words somehow slipped out. I said “I don’t feel worthy. Of all of this. It’s too much. All of it. What if they find out I’m a fraud. And they realize…. it’s just me…..” To which he replied…..”they already do. And they love you. “ - I’m realizing that I am not good at receiving. Let me rephrase that. I’m learning to recieve. Gifts, words, appreciation, kindness, love. Without there being any expectations. And as someone who is usually the “giver”. It feels really uncomfortable and new. But a wise women said to me recently (thank you @jackie.loughlin ) people can’t give, if you can’t receive. So I’m working on it. Receiving. All of it. Without my story of unworthiness being attached. And it got me thinking this morning about all the times things have tried to come into my life, good things, that I’ve pushed away. People. Opportunities. Experiences. Because I felt “unworthy” when really I was just scared. I think I’m tired of being scared. I’m tired of feeling unworthy. What if we all allowed ourselves to receive freely, how much easier we could all GIVE in return too. To new chapters, for all of us. May we receive all the blessings around us with open arms and open hearts. Because there are no attachments - for any of us 🤍
    Reflective, grateful, excited and hopeful, but mos Reflective, grateful, excited and hopeful, but most of all….ready. I am such a mix of emotions as I share the news that we are officially opening registration today for another round of Reset & Restore that begins Sunday, September 19th. I’ve been waiting and wondering as to when it would feel like the “right time” for another round of this special program. And now, more than ever, it feels like this is what we need. ALL of us. Today is the start of a new chapter. I know that the past few weeks, and the past 18 months, have been filled with so much uncertainty, change, and even heartache along the way. So this, my sweet friends, is our chance to shift some of that energy, individually and collectively - and to start fresh. To create new rituals and habits and mindsets that help us to show up as the best version of ourselves. Help us to feel well and good. Help us to reset and restore. Our journey begins Sunday, September 19th. I hope you’ll join us. You can register and learn more in the link in my bio, as well as in my stories all this week - I’ll be sharing more about my personal journey and why the program means so much to me 🤍. I hope you’ll join us. I can’t wait to get started.
    I don’t know if it’s the moon, the kids going I don’t know if it’s the moon, the kids going back to school, all the heartache in our world right now - or a combo of it all - but my emotions have been living “just” beneath the surface lately. And I mean “just” below. I was saying to my friend @christinaglickman the other day that I have a tendency to wear my heart on my sleeve, and that it’s usually cracked wide open. But that I genuinely don’t know any other way to live. Which means right now my sleeve is a little full. I’m feeling it all. But working on letting IT ALL GO too. I let it in, feel it, and then just as quickly let it go. Because we have no other choice. We can only “hold” so much. And I’m feeling like maybe, collectively, we could all use a deep breath (speaking for myself here 😉) So let the heartache in, the sadness about the world, the worry about our kiddos, the self doubt with our worth, and then my friend, we have to let it go. Because we have big things to do. So LFG. 📷 @hannahschweissphotography
    Last night in stories, I shared a little bit about Last night in stories, I shared a little bit about Lill’s story, and my journey in motherhood with her. And I was flooded with a sea of messages all saying “me too”. I spent hours reading all of your words and beautiful stories about your own kids, their struggles and your worries. So first and foremost - thank you - for sharing a piece of your children’s worlds with me. Please know, you are not alone. If I could this morning, I’d write a full blog post about your words and our collective experiences and what I’ve learned. But for now, here’s what’s on my mind as we’re sending our littles ones off to school…. - F@#k what people think. (Sorry to be aggressive with the language). But truly. F it. What people think of you. Your parenting. Your kids. How they behave at “meet the teacher”. All of it. NONE of it matters. Our freedom in parenting comes with letting go of what the outside world thinks. Letting go of expectations, of social norms, of worrying about what the world thinks. Give that gift to yourself, starting today. - Our kiddos, like us, are going through big changes this year. They’re gonna have BIG moments and feelings and meltdowns. It’s ok. In fact it’s good. It means they feel safe with you. Let them let it out. And just sit there. Don’t fix. Just sit. As I look back at my years with Lill as she’s grown up, I can’t say that I regret how I parented her….but I can say that I wish I would have been softer. Gentler. More open. And most importantly I wish I would have let go more. And just let her be. As our kids head back to school the next few weeks they are going to be flooded with input from the world about how “to be”. Let us be their safe heaven. Their sanctuary. Let us reflect back to them who and what they truly are - perfectly made in every way. Sending ALL of you parents and your littles a huge hug. They’re gonna be great. You’re gonna be great. We’ve got this. Here’s to a healthy happy year ahead filled with all the BIG feels BIG moments and BIG love. Xoxo
    I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately abou I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about my meditation practice, morning routine (which by they way, I love, so keep em coming). So I thought, let’s do a live and we can chat about ALL of it - together! 🤍 Leave all of your questions below - anything from meditating with kids, finding the time, getting into a routine. No question if off limits. My hope is that this can inspire you to find your own mindfulness routine as we’re entering this new chapter. Because if we’re being honest, would could ALL use it now more than ever. I think the idea of “meditation” or mindfulness can sometimes feel overwhelming, and we don’t know where to start or think we’re “bad” at it - so we never try. But in reality it’s just a practice of returning. To your seat. To your breath. To the present moment. That’s it. You can do that. We can do that. So…bring me all of your questions, struggles or things that are holding you back - and let’s help inspire each other to maybe carve out just a few moments a day to help us feel well and good. We deserve that. - I’ll go live Thursday at 10am CST (it’s my kiddos first full day of school so we can celebrate) and I’ll save it in stories for anyone who can’t make it live. See you then!! 🤍✨
    NY you were exactly what I needed. This trip away NY you were exactly what I needed. This trip away was so much more than just a vacation. It was a chance to recharge, get inspired, get out of my head and back into the present moment. A chance to step back, reevaluate and dream bigger. It can be so easy when you’re “in it” to get stuck. Get tunnel vision and forget that there’s a whole world of possibility out there just waiting for you to claim. I’m a huge believer in abundance. Which requires FAITH. Faith that sometimes requires you to let go of what’s right in front of you because you believe so deeply that there’s something bigger waiting around the corner. This trip helped me see around the corner. So for whoever needs a little extra dose of faith today….I promise you, there is more waiting for you than you imagined. Get out of your head and go get it ✨
    When your good friend finds you the perfect vintag When your good friend finds you the perfect vintage dress, you throw it on and make your hubby take photos of you in the street. Thanks @thesecondsistervintage for making me feel like the best dressed girl this side of the Brooklyn bridge - and thanks @jprexing for always saying “yes” ….to all of it. Love you both 🤍🤍
