Happy Pride Month, my lovely community!! I am so fucking grateful to be sharing today about my own queer journey and the things I am learning in this beautiful season!

I talk about:

• What I believe that Pride is all about

• My current struggle of feeling judgmental towards the other side now

• How I want to treat all of humanity

• The need for diversity in ALL humans

• My journey to discovering my queerness

• How Jenna forever changed my life

• The history of the first Pride flag design (fucking cool!)

• And last but not least, a very eye-opening documentary that everyone should watch about the first Pride parade on June 28th, 1970, in New York, commemorating the first anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. See the link below!!

This link takes you to the article about some Pride history. Scroll down to find the documentary to watch. It’s only twelve minutes long and worth every second of your time! Enjoy!

Today I am joined by my lovely partner, Jenna, as we discuss our recent trip and how it reminded us that we need to keep finding ways to rejuvenate our lives.

At the start of this episode, Zelle seemed strongly determined to sabotage our session, and despite our many efforts, she stuck around to keep us on our toes. ;) Gotta love those animals!

It's so easy to go through life, get stuck moving from thing to thing to thing, and forget that we deserve moments of rejuvenation. Women, especially, are taught from a young age to be martyrs. It can be a hard belief/habit to break. I get it.

Join Jenna and me today as we discuss the challenges we face in this area and the ways we are learning to care for ourselves!

Here is the delightful, humorous episode on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast:

Have you ever had a bad feeling about something but excused it away for one reason or another and then ended up very much regretting it?

Yeah. Me too. Today I share my recent, unfortunate visit to a new dentist. What I thought was going to be a checkup and possible cavity filling turned into a horrible experience that I am still currently suffering from.

My body knew. From the beginning. But I reasoned it away. I ignored the feelings. I dismissed the urgent voice begging me not to go back.

Our culture teaches us from a young age to ignore our bodies - especially if you are raised in religion.

Join me today as I unpack the story and what I am learning from this experience.
