🧘‍♀️helping caretakers & over extenders reconnect to their body & spirit ✨bring back your sparkle

10/28/2026

We've talked a lot this month about what we're carrying.

But release isn't only about what we put down.

It's also about the space we create.

We experience this in the body too. When we soften some of the tension we've been holding, we can notice what becomes available in that space.

The same can be true in our lives.

When we're using less energy managing someone else's response, maybe there's more energy for our own life.

When we're not trying to make everything perfect, maybe there's more room for curiosity.

When we're not trying to control the outcome, maybe we can be more present for what's actually happening.

Putting something down doesn't mean we stop caring. It means we're becoming more intentional about where our energy goes.

So as we close out this month:

If I carried less of what isn't mine, what would I have more room for?

10/26/2026

We've spent this month noticing what we're carrying—and whether it actually belongs to us.

So now the question becomes:

What are you ready to put down?

Maybe it's the need to keep everyone happy.

The pressure to get it right.

Responsibility for someone else's reaction.

The need to know how something will turn out.

Putting it down doesn't have to mean a dramatic change.

It might simply mean noticing when you start to pick it up again and asking:

Is this actually mine to carry?

There's a certain predictability in doing what we've always done.

We know how to keep the peace.

We know how to step in and take responsibility.

We know how to make sure everyone is okay.

We know how to push ourselves to get it right.

Doing something different can feel uncomfortable simply because it's unfamiliar.

And when that happens, it's easy to slip back into the response we've practiced over and over again.

That doesn't mean we've failed or gone backward.

Awareness is something we continue to practice.

Each time we notice ourselves picking up the familiar response, we have another opportunity to ask:

Is this what I want to carry here?

Sometimes the answer may be yes.

AND sometimes we may be ready to practice putting it down.

Maybe you've recognized that you're taking responsibility for something that isn't yours.

And yet, there you are...picking it up again.

Sometimes it's because carrying it gives us something familiar.

A sense of certainty.

A feeling of being needed.

A role we know how to play.

A way to avoid disappointing someone or creating conflict.

Or simply a response we've practiced for a very long time.

So rather than getting frustrated with ourselves for picking it back up, we can notice what keeps drawing us toward it.

Because sometimes the hardest things to put down aren't the things we don't want anymore.

They're the things that have become familiar parts of how we move through the world.

Happy National Pasta Day!

Now imagine enjoying homemade pasta in the heart of Italy, surrounded by rolling Umbrian hills, wonderful people, and nowhere else you need to be.

One of our favorite memories from last year's retreat was gathering at Locanda del Gallo to learn how to make fresh pasta from scratch.

There was flour everywhere, plenty of laughter, a little singing, and lots of delicious pasta to enjoy afterward!

And the best part? We get to do it all again next May.

Of course, our Pause & Renew Yoga Retreat is about so much more than pasta. It's a week of yoga, relaxation, beautiful places, new experiences, and meaningful connections.

But we'd be lying if we said the pasta wasn't one of the highlights!

Can you picture yourself here next May?

Trying to control an outcome can feel like doing something.

But sometimes all we're really doing is exhausting ourselves.

Agency is different.

It's recognizing what isn't within our control AND bringing our attention back to what is.

Our choices.
Our words.
Our behavior.
Our next step.

We can care about how something turns out without believing we can control how it turns out.

That's where our energy can actually be useful.

“She’s probably mad at me.”

“He thinks I’m selfish.”

“They’re disappointed.”

“She probably thinks I should have done more.”

Sometimes we aren't carrying someone else's actual feelings.

We're carrying the story we've created about their feelings.

And then we start responding to that story as though we know it's true.

We explain more.

We second-guess ourselves.

We try to fix something that may not even need fixing.

The next time you notice yourself doing this, pause and ask:

What do I actually know?
And what am I assuming?

You can care about what someone thinks AND recognize that you can't control it.

You can consider someone else's feelings AND make a different choice.

You can take responsibility for your part AND allow someone else to have their own experience.

Both can be true.
