TGIF | Practicing What I Can Control: Joy is Our Revolution

In this week’s TGIF, Kerry addresses the collective anxiety and emotional dysregulation many are currently experiencing. She contrasts "fear mode," a state of nervous system activation driven by stress and a lack of safety, with "heart mode," a grounded and open state associated with love, compassion, and intentionality. Kerry highlights the importance of letting go of the illusion of control and surrendering to the present moment. Joy is not found in external achievements or certainty but in mindfulness and the deliberate choice to focus on gratitude and love.

Finding Presence: A Guide to Showing Up in Your Life

It’s so easy to miss these moments as we’re stuck in the day-to-day of our lives.

But we don’t need a vacation or holiday to notice the glimmers, the special moments of each day. We need to reorient how we show up in this life.

TGIF | How to Reset: Embracing the Journey of Parts Work

As we reflect on our behaviors, both past and present, we often unearth roots that trace back to our childhood experiences. Rather than approaching these discoveries with judgment, we strive to embrace them with compassion, recognizing them as coping mechanisms developed in response to our early environments. In our pursuit of understanding these origins, we often encounter younger versions of ourselves trapped in pain and shame.

TGIF | A Word for 2024

But with that, I’ve been reflecting a lot on what I wish for 2024. You see, it feels as though the last few years have intensely reminded or taught us that we are not in control. The external events continue to occur and we all have to make our way through them. Surprises happen, challenging and uplifting, and yet they remain surprises.
