I am so excited for these next two episodes. I am doing a two-part series and I feel like it is exactly what so many of us need as we wrap up this holiday season.







 When it comes to the home in the holidays there is so much focus on decorating, cleaning, and hosting, and it can be overwhelming if you are not actively making sure you are doing things intentionally and creating balance for yourself. In these episodes, I am going to dive into space care. I hope these next couple of episodes give you a break and help you get quiet and intentional about your house in a way that is really going to support you in this season of busyness and fun.

It can be items that are not working but it can also be like deeply rooted limiting beliefs, other people's opinions, or maybe physical items. In this phase, we're identifying what we're holding on to that's not serving us and then we're giving ourselves permission to let it go so that we can make space for something even better. 







[08:48 ] Limiting beliefs we have around our home  10:14







When we look at something that's not working well in our house, we tend to look at the physical thing, like the pile of junk, or the room that doesn't function well. These negative feelings can actually be affecting this a lot and they're really hard to kind of identify and call out because they're thoughts and feelings that come and go. Having these negative feelings about our spaces is natural so I don't want you to shame yourself, or feel bad for not liking things about your home. I want you to understand that when we dwell on them and when we don't use them as a tool to inform actual action steps that we can take to make things better, that's what's not serving us. Let's bring these negative thoughts and emotions up to the surface so we can get clear on what needs to change.
