Its Briana Christine

I have been in this space for a while now of not knowing what to put out into the world. I’m so weary of everything being commodified. Profit being made off everything. Spirituality. Community. Healing. Fears. Insecurities. There’s nothing anymore that people don’t think they can make their fortunes off of. Which, I get it. We all need to make a living. Agreed 100%. But I do t want to make a living making money off people I want to build a community with. Off my own spirituality. Or yours. Off fear mongering or spreading misinformation to further my own agenda and income. So I’ve really pulled back to try and figure out exactly how to move forward, and with what. I love learning and sharing what I learn more than anything. But I don’t want my first thought to always be “how can I make money off this?” So as of now, I’m just sharing what I feel called to share. The things that excite or calm me. And taking the time to understand what I want to share freely, and what I want to build to create a business from. Is anyone else in this space? How are you navigating?

I love a full moon ritual, don’t get me wrong. But I absolutely LOVE the energy of a new moon. That smiling crescent that comes back in after brings so much peace to my heart, and seeing it lined up with Jupiter and Venus has been an absolute treat!

Two days in to my updated meal prep plan for myself, and I’m pleased to report I am loving the changes I’ve made to make this easier for myself!

Rather than plan specific meals, I researched the fruits, veggies, grains, spices and herbs that would be best for my dietary needs and preferences.

Vegetarian.
Dairy free. (Or at least super reduced)
Oat free.
Low starch.
Gluten free.
No eggs. (Potential migraine trigger, who knew!)

I also deal with not being able to absorb nutrients, chronic migraines and vestibular migraines, as well as needing to take my anemia and removed gallbladder into account.

This was no small feat to wrap my brain around and not give in to thoughts of “let’s just put me on a feeding tube because this is ridiculous!” I very much felt the loss of so many foods I love! But I am soooooo tired of feeling the way I have been for the last two years, specifically. And realizing so much of this I have dealt with my whole life and just thought was normal.

I took my list of foods that are softer on my digestive system, lower in fats for my lack of gallbladder, rich in nutrients for my inability to absorb them, high in iron to help my anemia, a focus on vitamin C to help me absorb the iron I get, low starch (starchy foods make me break out in hives all over my face and chest.) and just stocked my fridge with them!

I was getting so stressed trying to plan actual meals, so I decided to try just stocking the things I needed and creating meals from throwing them together.

This is my breakfast! I made enough for a few days and I’m so happy with it. Sweet potato, zucchini, tofu, toasted walnuts, dandelion greens, spinach, microgreens, h**p seeds, goat cheese. Seasoned with Himalayan pink salt, black salt (gives the tofu an “eggy” taste), Aleppo pepper and garlic. It’s seriously so yummy! Ahhh! YAY!!

Finding the person and the community who support you unconditionally, will call you out as needed, but support you always is an absolute game changer. 10/10 recommend.

There’s a very specific flavor in the air on May 13,
like your emotions, your inner critic, and your “do something RIGHT NOW” impulse all got invited to the same party. And no one is leaving early

We’ve got:
The Moon = feelings (all of them, not just the cute ones)
Saturn = structure, pressure, reality checks
Mars = action, heat, irritation if we’re being honest

So if you feel:
“why am I emotional AND annoyed AND tired AND ready to fight someone but also need a nap?”

Congrats. you’re right on schedule and with the rest of us.

But I promise, this energy isn’t here to ruin your life.
It’s here to ask a very sacred question:

Can you feel everything without spiraling or self-sabotaging? (BIG ask, I know bby grl!)

Priestess mode activated looks like:
✨ pausing before reacting
✨ letting the emotion move through instead of turning it into a personality
✨ choosing aligned action instead of dramatic action

Because Mars wants to go.
Saturn says earn it.
And the Moon is just sitting there like, “can we process this first???”

So instead of exploding or shutting down, try this:
light a candle, drink some water, touch something grounding, and ask yourself

“what would the most self-trusting version of me do next?”

not the reactive one. not the avoidant one. the one who knows their power doesn’t need to prove anything.

This is emotional alchemy in real time. Pressure turning into clarity. Impulse turning into intention. And honestly, that’s a flex.

I’ve been a mom my entire adult life. My oldest was born when I was 18, so it’s basically all I’ve ever known. And everyday I am so grateful for the love, the laughs, the lessons, the adventures and the person motherhood has shaped me to be. I cannot fathom my life any other way! My kids are my everything and I hope they feel that every minute, every second, of every day.
