I’m Still Processing 2022, Are you?

Happy New Year!

Honestly, if you are anything like me you are still processing WTF 2022 was 😂.

For me personally it was the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

I grew more than I ever have in a year but I also experienced more grief than I’ve ever experienced, like the kind of grief where your heart feels physically heavy in your chest.

I stepped into acting, I learned how to surf, I made the most money this year than I have in my 4 years of entrepreneurship, I healed some pretty deep traumas around people pleasing / co-dependency / taking up space, I formed soul community and I’ve never been more me in my life.

I also experienced the death of relationships, the literal death of family members and those close to me, faced very painful romantic relationship dynamics + realizations and had to untangle myself from unhealthy family dynamics.

I learned how to hold both joy and grief; love and fear; expansion and contraction; stability and groundlessness; clarity and confusion; birth and death and all the gray in between on what often seemed like a daily basis. 

But that’s life isn’t it? Being able to acknowledge, hold and live the full expression of our short and exquisite human experience.

It’s because of this fullness of our experience, especially in the last couple of years, that I don’t fully celebrate January 1st as marking the beginning of a new year. It can take some time to process what a year has brought forth, both its gifts and its challenges, and we want to make sure we can integrate those into our next chapters.

Astrologically speaking Mars and Mercury are Retrograde until close to the end of January and for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, we are still in the dead of winter. 

Retrogrades are all about slowing down and reviewing so this is big “rest, review and release” energy. This isn’t really “charge full speed ahead” energy. That will be closer to March and the Spring Equinox.

Yes, the calendar year changed but please know that you can “start” your year whenever you feel energetically aligned to do so. You don’t have to force something you don’t feel. 

If time is a construct, then you can choose the time when you want to begin visioning and taking action on your 2023. Please don’t buy into the January 1st hype if it doesn’t feel good or supportive for you.

I am personally aligning my “new” year with the Lunar New Year (Year of the Rabbit starting Jan. 22) and taking the rest of January to continue to reflect on 2022 and get clear about what I am leaving behind, what needs to come with me into 2023 and using the Capricorn energy to plan for the future.

……..So, if you’re not quite feeling that “new year, new me” craziness know you are exactly where you are supposed to be! And do not worry, it will come. I promise, it’s safe (and encouraged) to honor your pace.

To support you in this process, I will be offering 30% off all of my offerings until March. You can use HONORPACE at checkout.

The point of my work is supporting you in clearing and aligning your energy so you can cross that bridge from where you are to where you want to be with you purpose, your creativity and your joy. We need your gifts and brilliance out in the world truly more than ever before.

I will also be offering a workshop on releasing and integrating 2022 closer to the end of January and a visioning workshop for 2023 in early February. If you are interested in either of those you can click here. 

In the meantime you can check out some things below that I’m finding supportive right now!

Lastly, THANK YOU ALL so much for your support this past year and reading this newsletter week after week and supporting me, my work and my vision. This newsletter is a great joy and I’m honored to share it with you & support you in your journeys.

Sending you rest & ease,
