My intention this month is to
allow abundance.
Happy new month my beautiful lights!
A biiiiiiiiiig breath in for April. A loud siiiiiiigh out for March.
I missed writing to you all last month. Total transparency, the inner chaos to show up imperfectly via email + social media these last few months have been so real. I have been in my own healing experience so deep, reliving a lot of suppressed fear, keeping me clouded mentally with so much judgement. There was so much resistance to honoring my hermit + her desire for lots of privacy. She needed a break from sharing + I needed space to mother myself more. As much as I know how + when to honor myself, this practice is still an uncomfortable one for my perfectionist (she is quite the protector of my self-care + biz!).
So last month, I walked myself into a szn of “rehab + recovery” to let go of even more people pleasing, the urgency to update + keeping up socially. What an experiment this was for my nervous system. Here in the disguise of fear (“perfectionism”) I found where there was so much energy bound + blocked up. Talk about discomfort. Talk about exhaustion. I am learning quite a lesson on all things energy + balance right now. Self-care was fearfully scheduled from a place of lack + scarcity, and depleting my energy rather than recharging it! I noticed a unique, new narrative create my reality that came from a place of panic. From this energy, self-care was not so restorative. What a life-giving breakthrough.
This month, I choose again. It is my absolute favorite to enter new month energy for this reason alone. New, fresh beginnings! Every breath is a moment to start anew. Especially today, we are supported with the New Moon in Aries (aka the 1st day of a brand new zodiac year!)
In the spirit of newness, I am setting the intention to allow again. Release the force, control + perfection. Thanking all that has come + appreciating all that is on the way. If you need it: my signature monthly intention setting workshop is here to guide you to reflect, renew + release. To join us on April 5, sign up for the Guided by AM membership to access my resource library + receive support from this zest community all month long.
//MANTRA OF THE MONTH//
SHOW ME BALANCE.
A big squeeze to celebrate our first retreat!
No words, just zesties. Still receiving + forever remembering this Guided by AM retreat weekend as our reality. Four years of setting intentions, slowing down + squeezing in self-care as my practice + philosophy were all along the seeds being planted + dream being watered for the most abundant reality that unfolded this weekend hosting a sacred space for self-care + this community in Cali at Four Moons Spa.
**THIS is the zest life ive been dreaming of, the heart work ive been creating space for + the energy + reality far exceeded the vision i held for so long**
The commitment. The community. The connection. The care.
Thank you for seeing yourself. Thank you for choosing yourself. Thank you for showing up for yourself. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for receiving me.
Your self-care saves the world. Your intentions are potent. Your energy matters.
The zest is yet to come! I am confidently clear retreats will be on repeat ;)
join us for the next self-care weekend…
Next weekend (April 9-11), we will gather at Four Moons Spa in Encinitas, CA for a somatic multi-day retreat so you can enter a new season of life feeling embodied, empowered + rejuvenated!
Spaciousness for Self-Care is where 3 healers will be collaborating to share their gifts with the women who are ready to rest + receive.
We cannot wait to hold space for you, uplift you, and expand your vision as to what's possible for you in 2022.

So hello, April! Let's allow all the abundance to flow again. These are my 3 tips to support your self-care this month...
I. Forgive + have fun.
What thoughts are creating your reality? Watch out for your sneaky judgement! Next time you catch your thoughts spiraling...pause, notice, forgive + return to fun! Oh my squeeze, the freedom you will FEEL. Making forgiveness my return-to-me practice was one of the best techniques I have added to my self-care toolbox. It is okay (+ normal) to think and feel negative things, you are human. Your reaction to your experience is always a choice. Rather than fearing failure, crave the opportunity to learn and grow. Try on forgiveness, and follow up that feeling of freedom with some fun. Give my forgiveness meditation inside the Guided by AM membership a listen whenever you need a little extra support.
II. Add in affirmations.
Affirmations are a great way to cultivate a positive mindset before or when your old negative thought patterns and beliefs pop in. What you believe, is what you see. (Read that again). Believe it in your mind first, and then you will live in alignment with what you wish to see. Adding affirmations into my life daily has changed so much for me. Iykyk this affirmation card deck is my favorite to guide me back to myself on repeat.
III. Cleanse your chakras.
Bringing you balance this month with guidance all around your energy centers! Learn about your chakras + where your energy may be imbalanced. Join me inside my Guided by AM membership for a 7 Day Chakra Cleanse. I'll be sharing all my tips for chakra self-care via self-care starting Monday, April 4.
