Before we jump in, just wanted to share that July’s CARE MAIL offering is PRESENCE — something I’ve been talking about A LOT over here.

So if you want some support in being more present…

JOIN THE CLUB

Why is alignment important to our healing? Alignment means that we’re acting in harmony with what’s most important to us — in the present moment. When I’m in alignment, I’m not acting from my trauma — I’m acting from my values.

I used to think that I stood solidly in my values all the time! But the more I learned about trauma and the ways it showed up in my body, the more I realized that I was often struggling to live according to my values. In other words, my actions weren’t always aligned with the kind of person I want to be in the world. So I went back and reassessed:

  • What is it that I value?

  • Are those values dictated by my trauma brain or my adult brain? (Turns out, they two are not the same)

  • What would it look like for me to take action from my values?

  • How can I build more discernment so that I know when I’m acting from a place of fear (aka my trauma brain) and when I’m acting from my integrity (aka my adult brain)?

Why talk about values? Our vales are our "why" behind the choices we make in the world. When we anchor in our values, we take purposeful and aligned action. This month’s prompts are here to help you, so that when you find yourself at a crossroads, not knowing what to do in a particular situation, you can root back into your values and take steps that are aligned with the version of you that is here right now, on their healing journey.

Prompts

Determining Our Values

Values are the beliefs that guide the choices we make in the world. They inform how we treat ourselves and others. Using the list found here, begin by circling or writing down any values that resonate. From there, see if you can narrow your list down to five core values. If there’s something missing from the list, feel free to add it!

This month’s theme is ATTUNEMENT (the fancy therapy word for feeling seen, heard, and understood). Why is attunement so important? It’s one way that we build secure attachment with ourselves and others. Below you’ll find some prompts for building your capacity for self-attunement.

I’ve been taking some time to envision new ways to support you on your healing journey. For me, healing has been a balance of looking inwards and turning outwards, of deepening my relationship with myself and building the connections I dream of with others. This new offering is my way of embodying this dialectic.

The first Saturday of the month, paid subscribers will receive prompts (for writing, drawing, art-making, tarot-card pulling) around a theme or skill related to healing. Then, you’re invited to join the subscriber chat to share your reflections, ask questions, and be each other’s witnesses and hype squad.

This month’s theme is SELF-LOVE, and includes some journal prompts, as well as an art prompt! Find them below!

Stickers for founding members!

The other exciting thing I wanted to share is a special little promotion for anyone who becomes a founding member this month. When you upgrade your paid subscription, I’ll be sending you a sticker pack in the mail as a thank you.

If you’d like to become a paid supporter, but can’t afford $5/month, you can click to pay $1/month or $2.50/month.
