Friday feelings. Art by Kat Kissick
You'll never please them all. Instead, focus on being your authentic self and spend time with people that feed your spirit and uplift your heart.
Here’s a good mid-week reminder for you! Our brain sometimes tries to convince us that we’re outsiders, that people are plotting against us, that we aren’t worthy. The truth is- sometimes your brain lies to you. 📸@howmental
You’ve got this!
Try to give yourself time to reflect on your feelings before you react. Instead of believing that your feelings are an uncontrollable part of you, take time to observe them nonjudgmentally and decide what you want to do about them. Remember - Just because you’re feeling it, doesn’t make it fact! Art by @mindowl_org

Here's your daily reminder to take some time for yourself today! Art by @elliebee_bednall
Hello! It's the end of the week! Today is the perfect time to check in with yourself and see how you're feeling. If you're running on empty, think of ways to recharge. Be sure to give yourself a little extra care. You deserve it! Art by @blessingmanifesting
Delighted to be a contributor for this episode of the PolyWeekly podcast! I’m talking about ANXIETY of course, and how it can affect non-monogamous relationships around the holidays. My bit is at 15:00, but @cunning.minx is awesome so it’s worth listening to all their episodes. Let me know your thoughts! Link to the podcast in the comments!
