Itâs the most wonderful time of the year! Time to open up our front porch. My favourite living space. My breakfast spot, office, napping nook and reading corner all in one cozy and beautifully designed space (Iâm looking at you @sharon_grech@dianegallard & @carsonarthurcan !)
Let the weekly staycations begin and happy long weekend Canada đ¨đŚ
If youâre in this space of gathering back your energy stores, name the ways in which you do so below. The small tips and tricks that help you stay aligned each day. What are your favourite ways to stay in coherence?
Juicy, balmy, mellifluous.
The quick freeze of cold wind on the face while everything from the sternum down remains suspended in liquid lava.
Granola in deep dairy parfait.
Primal yoga flow.
Views beyond and beyond and beyond. Vibrant green rolling Northumberland hills stacked beneath a horizon of endless lake.
A deep exhale. Shoulders down. Jaw loose. Neck easy, untethered.
I have been to @steannesspa so many times but itâs never felt quite like this.
Tender and quiet. Expansive, electric.
All senses ignited.
#mothersday
The matriarch and her clan.
Hallelujah.
My mom is hesitant to smile in photos and sometimes I think itâs because sheâs constantly bracing in a world that wonât give her what she deserves.
So we give her what she deserves.
Oodles of love, warmth and appreciation. I hope someone is out there giving you what you deserve today.
Happy Motherâs Day đ
A podcast.
A safe space.
A company.
A beautiful backyard.
A garden.
I can guarantee youâve birthed something beautiful in this world. There would be no world without women. So hereâs to all you creators on the eve of Motherâs Day.
Thank you.
âItâs not your fault.â
Last year those words (from @giuliahalkier_ on Tik Tok) stopped me in my tracks.
Running on fumes, bombarded by diet culture, balancing a high profile career and family all on a dysregulated nervous system was status quo for me for literal decades.
So many of you are in the same boat.
This live chat with @brazensoulrebellion was a celebration marking a beautiful inner transition for me. Meeting myself where Iâm at, loving myself into health and throwing heaps of compassion toward my nervous system daily.
An hour was not enough time to talk about this life-changing program and the shifts Iâve experienced in just a yearâŚbut if youâd like to catch our conversation the link is in my bio.
Follow Giulia @brazensoulrebellion if youâre like most of us and battling the constant programming that tells you youâre not enough.

Time affluence is what they call it. I have time and Iâm so much better for it.
Time for my parents, time for my kids, time to nap.
Time to not be rushed.
And one more thing Iâll add to my abundance list (even though it could go on forever) is Nutella. Not generic hazelnut spreadâŚNUTELLA bish.
When I can buy a two-pack of the large Nutella at Costco I am RICH đ°
Whatâs on your list?
#abundance
Take what you need on this magical MondayâŚleave the rest.
What will you do to add a lâil joy to your routine today?
I woke up early to catch the sunrise and Iâm dancing for 15 minutes in my basement later today.
You?
I have felt a relentless nudge to start growing our own food for awhile now, and itâs not just the exorbitant food prices. When I found @growinggrowersto two-day intensive hands-on program online, I signed us up.
No regrets whatsoever.
Sustainable practices, an emphasis on stewarding the land, no frills, high standard gardening to spark joy. Corinna and Johnâs souls shine brightly and it doesnât matter how high the learning curve isâŚyou will come away with priceless knowledge.
The link for their next intensive is in my bio. Itâs super cheap to join.
Anyway, we heartily jumped in, got dirty, mingled with worms and came away better for it.
I cannot wait to get started on our new veggie garden.
