Intentional Futures Counselling

I see lemonade makers all around me. It's hard, we do keep getting back up but know that it's normal to feel weary.

Knowing when to say "goodbye" to something that has served an important purpose in your life is hard. I snapped this picture of myself at 11:55 just prior to launching my 6th "Finding Our Light" session together. I knew that during the call I would trust my instincts to guide me to the place where I knew whether this was the right time for a goodbye to this space for connection and learning. I hold "goodbyes" as one of the most important lessons I have learned in my life an...d that saying goodbye to things we love can be okay if we trust that we have shown up in the way that we intended. I feel I showed up. I know several of you showed up. I'm grateful. I also trust that once I have time to sift through the "why" and "what happened" for me during this time, I will know what's next. There might be more...I just don't know yet. I do know that my "inner teacher" was awakened during all of this and she loved every minute. Thanks for shining a light on her. So, with a grateful heart I send a big virtual hug to all of you who took time out of your day to connect with me. I wonder if you can think of something that you have created or brought into your life during this pandemic that you can "say goodbye" to? Can you see something in your own life that has served its purpose and you can say goodbye, and move on to something new? Every ending creates space for something new. It's time for new. Let's do new together. I see you, I see you trying and I'm right here beside you...trying to. #intentionalfuturescounselling, #wpgwellness, #wpgmentalhealth, #butfirstcoffee, #thedaringway, #brenebrown, #showupbeseenlivebrave, #stillnessandgrowth, #inthistogether, #wpgcounselling, #wpgtherapy, #wpgwomen, #stayhome See more

I’m getting accustomed to working alongside my family and creating comfy spaces. Here’s a live shot of our morning work from home situation. I think it’ll do just fine. Eternally grateful for this space that has held many workshops and retreats...some of you will recognize that fire! Can you find some cozy space today? #intentionalfutures #getcozy #getcaredfor

It’s a full (not busy) week for me so I’m taking it back to the basics. Also adding on my supplements and the wisdom of @drashley.nd she is a highly skilled naturopath and even better human. If you are looking to kick start your 2021 she’s a great place to start. Let’s keep this going. What is one small step towards wellness you can do now?

Yahooo to 27 more Daring Educators. Just finished 10 hours of work together where we dug into connection, trust, values and vulnerability. Feeling like every minute of this time mattered. Thank you CAIS for inviting me back to teach in your Fall Leadership Institute. Here is a photo of my somewhat calm wave goodbye...and then a shot of the behind the scenes aftermath! Love the mess. Love this work. #intentionalfutures #itsgettingbraveroutthere

Today’s desired feeling state. Aim for it...you might end up closer than you think is possible...I’m trying...today is an effort and I’m in it with you. What is one small thing you can do today to move closer to your desired feeling state? Share it here

Happy Monday. Today I am in all the feels about sharing important work with leaders in education from across Canada. It’s day one of three this week with this group. Integrating @drjodycarrington @brenebrown and my own experience as a learner, teacher, mama bear and counsellor into an experiential learning sequence that just might change the world. Dream big..why not? Let’s create connected, compassionate and courageous spaces to learn, grow and get curious. Let’s start now. #caisschools #caisleadershipconference #intentionalfutures #lovethis
