Here's your permission slip
|
Reader, I didn’t write a blog post last week. Could I have? Absolutely. But it didn’t feel aligned for me. Something I’ve noticed about the way I like to share is that most of my content comes from what I’m experiencing in the moment. When I try to force it ahead of time just to stay “consistent,” it starts to feel less real. Less connected. And last week, I was in the salon a lot. New salon energy, long days behind the chair, catching up with clients. Life has been full in a different way. So instead of pushing myself to publish something just because Thursday rolled around… I gave myself permission to skip it. Because I don’t need to do everything all the time. And I wanted to share that with you because I think many of us carry this quiet pressure to keep producing, keep showing up, keep checking the boxes — even when our body might be asking for a little space. So the question this week is: Where could you give yourself permission to not do something? Just a small moment of letting yourself off the hook. Also...quick subject change... I’ve received quite a few messages lately asking where I’ve been and when the next breathwork session is. And the honest answer is… I don't have one scheduled yet. There have been a lot of new things happening on my end. A new salon, rebuilding my website, shifting more of my energy into writing and blog posts instead of Instagram (they live longer and feel more meaningful to me). And also, this season has been a bit of a “winter” for me — a time to rest, reflect, and integrate everything that’s been changing. But breathwork is definitely not gone. Scheduling the next session is on my list, and I’m hoping to have something on the calendar for April 12th (not confirmed yet). I'm curious to know if 4pm on Sunday's is still a good fit, or if earlier in the day, like 11am, works. Please reply to this email and let me know your honest thoughts. Thank you for being here. Truly. It means a lot that you read these emails and stay connected with the work. I hope to see you in person again soon. Haley |

Reader, I'm back in the salon this week, which means I'm giving myself some grace and skipping the usual blog post today...without guilt. Where can you give yourself some grace this week without guilt? At my last breathwork event, I offered a simple intention if someone was struggling to come up with their own. It was one word: BRAVE. I've been thinking about it ever since. Brave doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to look like quitting your job, moving across the country or finally...
Reader, Can I tell you something that nobody in the wellness space really talks about? You can do all the right things. The breathwork, the somatic tools, the nervous system practices. And still feel like your body won’t settle. There’s a reason for that. And it might not be what you think. I wrote a blog post this week that gets into exactly that. I have a feeling it’s going to hit home for you. Read this week’s blog post The Nervous System and Money Connection Nobody Talks About and come...
Hi Reader, I wanted to pop into your inbox a little differently this week. Normally I’m sharing a weekly blog post, but this is the week I'm in the salon. I have barely opened laptop because my energy has been focused on hair, conversations in the chair, and being fully present there. So this is me giving myself permission to not do all the things all the time — and to not beat myself up for it because I’m human. And right now, this is where my energy is meant to be. There will be a blog post...
