Hi there. What's new? Life over here has been heavy lately. Not because anything is wrong per se, but because managing my mental health generally comes in an ebbing and flowing of seasons. I'm a human doing human life. The. whole. damn. thing. Seasonal depression, switching up meds, weekly nervous system sessions with my therapist, helping 3 young kids stay (sometimes) regulated, trying to breathe life into my marriage, serving my incredible clients, keeping up my friendships, volunteering at the school, etc... It can be a lot. Did I mention the needy dog that never leaves my side?! 🙄

Often, when I'm not feeling like a shining example of a thriving life, it can be intimidating to show up in a place like this--where I want to be adding value and meaningful perspective. But that's just the "perfect" lie rearing its ugly old head. I don't think thriving and struggling are mutually exclusive. Being a coach doesn't mean I've got everything figured out. I'm incredibly good at what I do BECAUSE I'm in the trenches with my people, not in spite of it.

Healing and thriving can only happen in community. So thanks for being part of mine. It's an honor to do this human thing alongside you. ~Naomi

P.S. You're doing better than you think you are. 😘🤟

Powerful questions tend to yield powerful insights. What comes up for you as you explore these 3 simple question prompts?

Sometimes we forget about the basic things that we are entitled to just by virtue of being alive and breathing in a messy world. How you are treating yourself and allowing yourself to be treated on the daily is a direct reflection of what you believe that you deserve. Maybe it's time to take a look at what you are currently believing about yourself and what you need or deserve? It's hard to uphold and honor your own rights if you don't even know what they are.

This therapy assignment is always a favorite of mine. And hey, this time only one of the lines made me ugly cry as it came flowing through my fingers. So, ya know... progress and growth y'all. 🙃

What do you believe you deserve? What permission do you need that you're not currently giving yourself?

If you're in a sharing mood, I'd love to hear a line from your own personal Bill of Rights in the comments below. Maybe we can all inspire each other into a more compassionate way of being with ourselves.

Be gentle with yourselves lovelies! 💕

I'm so grateful for humans with a vision for a better world, who aren't afraid to live into the truth that they believe in. 🙏

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Let's spend it imagining alongside him.

Sometimes I wonder why humans don't hibernate. There seems to be so much wisdom in following the energy of the seasons.

If you're feeling extra sluggish lately, please don't beat yourself up about it. Productivity is not the ultimate measurement of a successful life.

You are worthy of rest. But also, don't forget to take your vitamin D and let your face feel the sun whenever possible. 💕

Wanting acceptance and belonging only makes you human. But erasing the truth of who you are in order to avoid rejection isn't the answer. Some people will not appreciate your full authenticity - those are not your people. It's impossible to find your way to the places and people where you belong when you are hiding who you truly are. Like a magnet, you must be willing to repel the things not meant for you in order to attract the things that are. 💕

How are you tending to your own needs with loving care this weekend?

I'll go first. Tonight is date night with the hubby. My generous mother-in-law offered to have the kids over and we're taking her up on it because I have a very valid NEED to have some adults-only time with my very favorite person. (We're just grabbing dinner, don't make it weird 😜)

If you don't already have a plan to tend to something that you need, can you pick one thing right now? You deserve it. Let's all share ideas below! 💕

Taking a short hiatus from the podcast but wanted to leave you with this brief offer of solidarity.

Being human is hard! Growing and evolving is uncomfortable! But discomfort is not a sign that something has gone wrong.

Go take a listen. Link in bio and in today's stories. 💕 🤟
