The Bay of Fundy, off the shores of Nova Scotia where I grew up, has the highest tides in the world. This also means it has the lowest tides. During low tide, life (mussels, clams, crabs...) that's usually hidden is suddenly exposed. What causes this exposure? The moon. And the highest degree of exposure happens during the new 🌚and full 🌝moon. If the moon has that much power over the tides, imagine how much power it has over us. We are 60% water.

Harness the power of today's 🌚new moon by setting intentions for this lunar cycle. What do you want to bring into your life? Take a moment, breathe in, breathe out, and contemplate what you want to call in this month. Then on August 26 when the full moon 🌝 shows itself, use my free Full Moon Guide (link in bio) to guide yourself toward the next part of the cycle. 💜
The baby is napping and there are so many things I “should” be doing right now. I mean, the nap time window isn’t that long, right? And I know that as a new business owner, the list of things to do will only lengthen, not shorten. But what I’ve learned is that in the line of work I’m getting in — the work of helping women stay grounded and in tune with the heart’s voice — the top thing I’ll always need to do is self-care. If my cup isn’t full, how can I give to my clients? ::

So today what self-care looks like is finally getting that Brownie Supreme I’ve been craving since I arrived in Clare. It also includes indulging in one of my old favorite pastimes: lounging in the hammock. ::

What’s your go to self-care routine? I really want to know. 💜 #selfcaresaturday
For as long as I’ve been on Instagram, I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself. Since I’m kicking off a new path in life — and a Sacred Circle during the full moon on August 26 in Clare, Nova Scotia (link to details in my bio) — I thought this would be a good time to do that. 💜 ::

Last week I completed the @bycacademy life coaching course I was taking for the past six months. I'm happy to announce I'm now a certified life coach! I'm very excited to see where this path, combined with my experience as an educator, will take me. So far it feels like the perfect fit. I get to help women get rid of their self-doubt and achieve their dreams. I get to help women to learn to trust themselves. I feel so lucky to be in this line of work.

During the last twelve years, I was an English language teacher and teacher educator in South Korea. This identity was everything to me. It was my social, professional, and emotional life. I never thought there'd be a day when I wouldn't call myself a language teacher. ::
::
But when I found out I was pregnant, I couldn't deny the voice that was getting louder as the months passed: “it's time to let go of that part of your life.” And with the courage that came from the new little soul in my belly, I let go. ::
::
Now, with his ninth month around the corner, and the completion of my coaching course, I feel incredibly grateful for this opportunity to walk a new path. It's already filling me with joy, appreciation, and love. Thank you for being a part of it!
