Hey there friend!

I hope this newsletter finds you well and surrounded by the vibrant energy of spring. It’s that time of the year when nature awakens from its slumber and paints our surroundings with a kaleidoscope of colors. Here in southwest Ohio, we are witnessing transformation as the world comes alive as the local farmers plant their fields and blooming flowers and rejuvenated landscapes.

This season is a wonderful reminder of the beauty of renewal and growth. It serves as a gentle reminder that even after the harshest winters, life finds a way to flourish once again. It’s an opportunity for us to reflect on our own personal journeys and embrace the fresh beginnings that come with each passing day.

As the temperatures rise and the days become longer, I encourage you to step outside and immerse yourself in the wonders of this season. Take a leisurely stroll through the local parks and engage your senses by feeling the softness of petals, pause to observe the delicate dance of butterflies, and the intricate details of the flowers. Taking the time to enjoy these simple joys of spring offer the opportunity to slow down, reflect, rethink about yourself and your life.

xo,

Something new to try.

Unapologetically You: Embracing Authenticity and Showing Up in the World- Navigating Societal Pressures and Expectations Part 2 – Grounded in the Middle.

This week's topic on the podcast: "Navigating External Expectations and Societal Pressures." Even as adults we are subjected to societal pressures to conform to what society tells us we should be and if we mold ourselves by what the world is putting out there, we're subjecting ourselves to losing ourselves and becoming less of who the world needs us to be-our own unique self. Show Notes: Ralph Waldo Emerson-To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
