This week, we’re diving into something we all long for but often struggle to find—space. Not just a gap in your schedule, but true space for you. The kind of space where your shoulders soften, your mind clears, and your heart feels light.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why space is more than a “to-do” or productivity hack.
• How to shift from the overwhelm of the season to a sense of spaciousness.
• A gently rebellious approach to creating space, even when it feels impossible.
• Practices to help you feel less squished and more at ease.

Plus, I share updates about my upcoming Create Your Gently Rebellious 2025 workshop on January 5th—a perfect opportunity to carve out space for what matters most to you in the new year.

Messy Journaling Prompts:

1. If you had more space, what would you do with it?
2. What would it feel like if you had a sense of spaciousness?
3. What does space mean to you? How do you know when you have it? How does it feel in your body, your mind, and your heart?

Join me as we gently rebel against the chaos and create more ease, joy, and freedom.
