Struggling with boundaries? Setting internal boundaries makes it easier to have external boundaries with friends, family, work, lovers...you name it. Internal boundaries help us define ourselves to ourselves. They help us know what we like, don't like, how we feel, what we believe, our emotions, our spiritual sense. When we can clearly take responsibility for our internal physical, emotional, and mental experience, we can navigate the world easier. DON'T PANIC. We don't have this all figured out, either. But we do share our current experiences and terrific tools to help you set and maintain internal boundaries. We believe in you. You're doing great!

Join us as we talk about how to be patient—at least our attempts—and patience as a spiritual practice. It's lighthearted, serious, and full of love. xo

In our newest episode, we are waking up to our mental exhaustion and applying tools to find rest in all areas: spiritual, mental, creative, and sensory.

Where are we tiring ourselves out in moments we could find the sacred pause? The restful ease of knowing we can put our thinking minds down and attempt to rest in that space of simply being? Through this practice, could we heal our mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion? We supply the tools to help us all find out how to practice to get the much needed healing and rest we all deserve.
