Hi !

Tending to the Heart in Uncertain Times

This season has brought its share of uncertainty, and I’ve found myself needing to pause and tend to my own heart. Recently, I attended a Psychodrama training focused on using empty chairs to work with our inner parts. One morning, our group explored a question that lingers with me: How do we humanize the enemy so we can hold space for all humans, no matter the circumstances? It was a profound, moving discussion that reminded me just how much our hearts need gentle care, especially when the world feels heavy.

If your heart is asking for some tending right now, I want to offer a recording of a recent Tending Together session on this very topic. You can watch the replay: Watch the Tending Together Replay

Tending Together: Free Community Support

Tending Together is my free community space, offering 30-minute Zoom sessions twice a month. Each gathering is a gentle opportunity to ground, reset, and connect—no pressure to participate, just an open invitation to receive support. If joining live isn’t possible, every session is recorded and shared in our community space so you can catch the replay at your own pace.

• Curious about joining? Our next free Zoom session is February 5th at 4pm PST | 5pm MST | 6pm CST | 7pm EST. Reserve your spot for Tending Together
• If you’re already a member, you can access the community space here.

Find Your Inner Calm: In-Person Series

If you live in the Grand Rapids, MN area, I’d love to invite you to Find Your Inner Calm. We have two more Tuesday evenings (Feb 17th and March 3rd) and a Saturday morning (March 21st). This in-person series blends body wisdom, trauma insights, and practical tools for nervous system regulation. It’s a supportive space to practice presence and find steadiness, no matter what life is bringing up. See details and register for Find Your Inner Calm

Befriend Your Story: Group Experiences

For the past few months, I’ve been offering Befriend Your Story sessions. Two weeks ago, I began a closed group meeting weekly for four weeks—an experience that’s been deeply healing for those attending. Participants have shared how this space helps them move from trying to "fix" parts of themselves, to gently witnessing and holding those parts with compassion. There’s hope in simply being seen and supported.

I’ll be repeating this series at a new time slot soon. If you’re interested, please fill out this quick survey to let me know your availability and interest.

Not sure if you’re ready for a full series? My new Introduction to Befriend Your Story session is a gentle, 60-minute online experience—low pressure, just a taste of what this work can offer. Sessions are recorded and available for replay. Sign up for the next Intro to Befriend Your Story

Gentle Reminder: You Matter

If this season feels difficult and life seems challenging, please know that you are not alone. You matter, and hope may be waiting for you just around the corner. Healing happens in connection—not isolation. If you’d like to share what’s coming up for you or simply need a listening ear, just reply to this email. I’m always honored to witness your journey.

With warmth and gratitude,
