Dear Friends,
We welcome September with a focus on wellbeing and embracing imperfection in all its forms. Do you struggle with perfectionism? As a "recovering perfectionist" and having struggled much of my life with identity and a healthy body image, I want to challenge harmful mindsets about perfectionism and encourage you with the truth. Our Blog, Podcast, a Women's Retreat, and the Cool Resource this month all support you in identity, freedom and overall wellbeing.
In August I was hired by the YMCA of Middle Tennessee as a Group Fitness Instructor! I love teaching at the Y and one of my favorite things about teaching is seeing those I serve feel more strong, confident, centered and peaceful.
With school back in session and the holidays fast approaching, now is the time to consider and implement intentional ways you can nourish your mind and body. What are the priorities you want going into the final quarter of 2023? What time do you need to block off on your schedule so that you can take care of yourself? What do you need to say "no" to and what boundaries can you put in place so that you can be intentional about your wellness and wellbeing?
