The World's Healing- december 2025

Happy December, beautiful humans!!!

How are you doing?! How was Thanksgiving? I hope it was filled with yummy food, really simple moments with the people you love, and a great ease into the final month of the year! I am still in Chile but leaving in just 2 days at the time of this email! Wild! Our Thanksgiving definitely looked different this year, and my mom would be so disappointed in me for having instant mashed potatoes, but that's the best we could do 

I cannot believe that I'm sending out the final newsletter of 2025!!! I'm going to keep this month's newsletter short and sweet, as best as I can. If I'm being honest, words are feeling so hard at this moment & I've struggled a bit with what to even share in this newsletter. This year out of the country, without a job, with minimal items & a lot of things that didn't go as planned, has felt like a whirlwind. I am still in shock that I'm writing this email now at the end of this adventure. I remember writing last December's newsletter about leaning into trust and making this decision to leave for a year. And now I'm here. At the opposite end of that. I'm typing this and getting emotional for the first time about that. I don't think I have fully allowed myself to take in, or explore what it truly means to me. This year has been something I'll remember for the rest of my life. It challenged the hell out of me. It pushed me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It felt so easy at times, and also felt like a difficulty that's hard to explain. I'm returning "home" with a renewed sense of gratitude for simple joys and more confidence & clarity in who I am and what I'm doing here. 

With all of that, and while still processing, I've arrived at a beautiful reminder- people everywhere, all over the world, are a lot more alike than we think. In general, people are just trying to live their lives. To earn money for the things they want and need. To spend time with the people they love. To experience close connection. To have fun, make jokes, and play. As I consider how that impacts what I'm doing and trying to create, I realize that's what this newsletter, in its going on 6 years of existence, has always been about- us. Not just me or my world, but our world, our shared experiences, our connection and our growth. A whole. The collective. Community. This time of getting to know myself better and being able to witness how other people around the globe navigate their experiences, has proven to me that when we heal, find joy, and seek deeper meaning to life, we encourage the world around us to do the same, and in turn, the world in which we know it, transforms. And heals, too.

At times it can feel so hard or daunting to really trust that all of the hard work we're doing is worth it. That it actually is making a difference. In all seriousness, a friend and I joke often about how being a "mindful human being" is freaking exhausting haha. But in my opinion, it's worth it! And we're ALL (people everywhere!) so deserving of happiness, health, safety & peace.

Those are the words I have for right now- a bit messy and unorganized but very much from the heart. We'll be doing a lot more of diving into what this year has been for each of us in the Intention Setting Ceremony later this month, and I truly hope you'll join in that! It's just $10, recordings will be available if you can't attend live, and it's a really wonderful way to connect with people from all over, but most importantly, with yourself! The link for that is a little lower if you are interested! 

As the year closes, I hope we let grace and forgiveness in. I hope we leave room for opportunity to find us. I hope that we find a renewed sense of confidence and trust. I am thrilled to be seeing some of you all so soon. Please be on the lookout for teaching and other fun updates! In January, I'll likely announce some exciting news about a little "rebranding". We'll see if it happens by then with all of the fun things I have to do in December after being gone for a year lol

I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being here, thank you for making this community what it is. I cannot wait to physically be back and experience that magic in person!
