3 Powerful Somatic Practices to Cultivate Inner Sa 3 Powerful Somatic Practices to Cultivate Inner Safety Dear Money Adventurer, Sometimes, as we move deeper into our relationship with money, we find that this work brings up old wounds or painful emotions that we thought we had healed. These moments are a testament to your mindful awareness and personal growth, yet their unfolding can feel disorienting and overwhelming. Finding yourself moving through painful histories while also simultaneously trying to learn new practical money skills can feel like the ground is giving way beneath your feet. You might feel like a child again, yearning for care and support amid difficulty, longing for safety and stability that you cannot provide yourself. In the midst of these truths lies another: in turning inward to bring awareness and compassion to the places where we feel unsafe, we can learn to cultivate a deep sense of inner safety to ground us through life’s ebbs and flows. The somatic term for this feeling-safe-in-your-body-no-matter-what is “self-regulation.” – Just as the name suggests, it is a gift that we can cultivate for ourselves. I’m going to share three of my favorite somatic practices to help you foster a sense of internal safety as you navigate your money journey. These body-based exercises are simple, yet profoundly powerful. When you find yourself struggling with money stress, discomfort, or any big emotion, these personal practices can help you feel supported as you learn to self-regulate with compassion and gentle curiosity. Let me show you how. Practice #1 – Body Check-In Practice #2 - Resourcing Practice #3 - Titration To Read the full piece and learn how to do these practices (or to be reminded how to do them), head to my profile link: 3 Powerful Somatic Practices to Cultivate Inner Safety #somatictherapy #somatictherapist #financialtherapist #financialtherapy #resourcing #titration #bodycheckin #somatichealing #innersafety #somaticpsychology #moneypsychology
lemon custard tart. I made this one because i lo lemon custard tart. I made this one because i love lemons and I wanted to challenge myself. I made the custard yesterday and then it chilled overnight. The recipe did not specify how long to whisk the lemon zest, sugar, one egg at a time. A previous me would have freaked out over this and given up. But I knew to take a deep breath and trust that if I vigorously whisked I would eventually see the thin cream turn into thick custard and it did. So today post MRI (for my shoulder - and yes I am claustrophobic), I first celebrated with a turkey club sandwich and then I slowly did all the rest of the steps. Made a new pastry dough, then chilled it. Blind baked the crust (another first). then more baking and more chilling. Then more whisking of the custard and assembly and more chilling. and baking the pistachios with maple syrup. and voila my first lemon custard tart. phew, a tremendous amount of steps but its really good. husband said it was very fancy tasting and "light, creamy smoothness that makes him feel like he is in London". #homebaker #lemontart #makelemonade #bakingistherapy #somatictherapy #lemons

As we head towards the end of the year, I like to As we head towards the end of the year, I like to start my year-end rituals. This includes a review of my business numbers, projections & what actually happened. I also do a review + appreciation of personal side with family, health, travel etc. Some years I don't do this until December but this year my pacing is slowed down which brings the gift of presence & also wider views. This year my income is up and my expenses are down in my business. But last year my income was down and my expenses were up. I haven't had an upside down year like that for a decade but there it was. Like many the pandemic shifted things but biggest glitch was the FB ads not working any longer with the IOS changes. Then I spent too much trying to turn things around. So I had to find a different way to run my business this year and run it in a much leaner way. I was able to do that by offering a new program, my mentor program. So now I have two programs at different price points. I also published a 2nd book, my workbook which has brought more visibility & podcast interviews. We all have ebbs and flows in life, in money and in business. Here's my reminder to hang in there and find creative ways to steer the ship in a better direction again. There's also ebbs and flows with excitement, hope and connection to our work, at least there is for me. I'm excited again for 2023. I have a wonderful small team helping support the community from my V.A. Ali, content writer, Leah and a crew of alum guides and mentor guides that help run my programs. My husband and I have an idea on the table that's been brewing for years that we'll bring to forefront again now that my workbook is in the world. So here's to some year-end-reviews, what worked, what didn't, what needs to be honored and celebrated. I'll probably share more details on all this and l usually share my favorite year-end money rituals on my site. Lastly, here's a new photo from a favorite cafe in Taos, New Mexico where we closed on land a month ago. I rarely get resting face photos but here I am holding past, present and future. #financialtherapy #financialtherapist #somatictherapist #author #creative
I did a new photoshoot this week with my dear frie I did a new photoshoot this week with my dear friend and photographer @daniellecohenphotography I wanted some updated photos for my website because most of them are 3 to 6 years old. It's important for me to show aging and current body, whether I'm curvier or smaller- I've always been a shapeshifter. I wanted to create a simple, cozy space in my home office. I didn't want a grand or epic photoshoot for this one. I do have a vision for that but it will need to be in another moment and in another city (similar to my 50th birthday Montreal shoot) I also wanted natural hair (not a blow out) and simple makeup - mascara and lipstick (not get makeup done). Here's a little peak into the photos. I'm 53. Somatic therapist. Financial Therapist. Mentor. Author. Mom of teenage son. Cat Mom. Dancer. Baker of Galettes.
