Loving my “lazy.” I love to sleep in. I love Loving my “lazy.” I love to sleep in. I love having coffee in bed. I love to work surrounded by fluffy pillows and soft velvety blankets. I used to judge myself for how “lazy” I was. Pushing myself to get up and be one of those people who exercised, meditated and cleaned the house all before the sun rose. 😬. Basically berating myself for my own cycles. What kind of BS is that? To berate ourselves for our cycles? For our desires? I know, I know. It might be healthier to get up earlier. And one day, I may choose to take this step, to explore this as a practice. But in the meantime, im gonna love my lazy. Go ahead, my hard-driving perfectionist friends, judge me if you must 😍 but then join me. I’ll show you how much ease comes with self-acceptance and how much energy can be generated with going with your own nature 💥 Whats something you love but beat yourself up for? Not that you need my permission (you really need yours), but here it is 💥 . . . #selfjudgment #stopjudgingyourself #ease #followingyourflow #sleepingin #thefineartofbeingyou #feminineenergy #selfcare #selfkindness #stopjudging #embraceyouressence
A year ago this weekend I arrived in Umbria, Italy A year ago this weekend I arrived in Umbria, Italy...ready to lead my first Italian retreat...a long-standing dream of mine. It was a beautiful, rich, sensual, delicious experience with 11 remarkable women. I can practically taste the olive oil and home-made pasta still. Today I am remembering. I’m celebrating AND Im feeling the loss present in our current-covid reality. I cant wait til we humans can come together and retreat again...my bucket list is long and my passport is ready. PS This retreat was not all love and light:) I had a major trigger upon arrival that threw me into despair...and then a serious life lesson. More on that tomorrow (in stories). . . . #retreats #italianretreat #italianinapastlife #transformationalretreats #womensretreats #sensualliving #savor @savorjuicedaily

YOU ARE NOT STUCK You are simply avoiding feeling YOU ARE NOT STUCK You are simply avoiding feeling the down. Grief. Sadness. Pain. The feelings we love to hate. And sometimes hate to love. Grief can feel like sweet relief. Feeling the pain that comes with being alive allows us to feel the depth of our own humanity. When we allow grief to be felt in our bodies... It creates wet fertile soil, a new earth inside, from which we can begin planting again. Readying the ground, our heart, our soul, for our next emergence. It can feel SO DAMN GOOD to go down (when we stop resisting it.). It can feel SO DAMN good to let go of the old, even when it’s scary & painful. It is not all love and light, my friends. But we humans have been taught to fear the down, to devalue our grief, to label the darkness “bad.” So we resist, pushing away the true feelings for a moment of comfort, of numbing, of avoidance. We bottleneck our feelings, and with them, our growth, our truth, our fullness...and we call it “stuck.” You. Are. Not. Stuck. You are afraid. Or perhaps just unwilling to let go of the next thing that needs to go, the next part of you that wants to die, the next truth that’s dying to be felt but doesn’t fit with your idea of yourself. I can help you with that. My specialty is navigating through the dark, the unknown. Holding your hand thru your fear of the dark while shining a light on the truth of who you are. Want a taste of the sweet relief that comes with letting go? Join me for 3 weeks of SHEDDING. We start Monday (link in bio). Got Qs? Just DM me 🌟 . . . #shedding #lettinggo #undomesticated #stopresisting #toxicpositivity #afraidofthedark #transformation #magic #karenschachter @savorjuicedaily
Letting Go. Oh how we resist the surrender, the r Letting Go. Oh how we resist the surrender, the release, the letting go. We grip and grasp and hold so tight to the patterns, the stories, the habits, the clutter. We grip and grasp and hold tight, to a false sense of security and control. We grip and grasp and try to control the way things “should” be. We grip and grasp and hold tight because sometimes the known misery feels safer than the possibility that lies in the unknown. The truth is: there is wisdom in letting go. There is freedom in releasing the grip. There is only space for new growth when we let go of what is ready to die. Body addictions. Energetic drains. Habits. Patterns. Stuff. It’s been a year of letting go for me. I’ve released: ☀️alcohol ☀️ retail shopping ☀️ excess social media ☀️ my to-do list ☀️ clutter (still working on that) ☀️ outdated relationships ☀️ overscheduling ☀️ fear of scarcity ☀️ the need for approval ☀️the next layer of my good-girl ☀️ my rescuing pattern ☀️blaming, shaming, complaining ☀️ and a whole crapload of energetic clutter (To name a few) And Ive reclaimed a new level of freedom. Every single bit of my growth has come only when I’ve been willing to let go. And I’m at it again. This time inviting you to join me for 3 weeks of SHEDDING. We start Monday. DM for deets.
Presence over productivity. Presence over performa Presence over productivity. Presence over performance. Presence over perfection. Your presence is everything. It will quite literally determine the quality of your life. You want ease? Embody ease in the present moment. You want abundance? Take in the abundance in this moment. You want love? Fill your cup and serve generously (sans martyr). Today. Not after you’ve achieved that next thing you think will deliver you happiness. Your joy does not lie in your productivity. There is no pot of gold waiting for you later. So tell me, what are you craving? Not the “goal” of it but the energy of that goal? I promise, you can have it. But you’ve got to release what’s in the way of your being present to it. If your mind, body & space is full of crap that clutters your presence, it’s time to let it go. Join me for 3 weeks of Shedding. Shedding stories. Shedding heaviness in your body. Shedding clutter. Shedding the shit that is not serving your presence to your deepest desires. DM me for details. . . . #presence #shedding #presenceoverperfection #presenceoverproductivity #manifestingabundance #savor #savorjuicedaily #energyovereffort #energyiseverything #everythingisenergy #feminineenergy #releasecontrol #letgoofwhatnolongerservesyou #onelife #onewildandpreciouslife
I used to live for vacation. Constantly desperate I used to live for vacation. Constantly desperate for a break from the life I had created for myself: one that was driven by “hustle,” external validation, and my conditioned version of “a good woman.” It looked good but it only felt as good as the next “hit,” which left me constantly seeking, when i wasnt utterly exhausted. I am still a passionate world-explorer & a lover of adventure. And yeah, I’d rather be in Costa Rica than in DC. {side note: after last night’s debate and the debacle that is our country, I’d rather be almost anywhere else}. But I no longer live a life that is something I need to escape from. I now LISTEN to my deepest self. I honor my rest, my care, my wellbeing, my body, my pleasure, my wholeness. Everything else comes AFTER my cup is full. {Except when i forget, and then there’s a big price to pay}. Many people would call that selfish (as they look at me with their weary desperate resentment); but I’m clear that there was nothing generous about trying to “serve” from an empty cup. I didnt learn this from my mother, and she didnt learn it from hers. But it’s sure as hell what I model for my daughter. We can’t talk about smashing the patriarchy if we are still adhering to its ass-backwards “rules,” can we? . . . #breaktherules #bethechangeyouwanttosee #selfishwoman #selfishwomenarethemostgenerous #whatareyoumodeling #restisrevolutionary #restisresistance #selfcaredaily #juiceforwomen #savor #undomesticated #transformationalcoach
“Don’t shine so bright,” they said, “it wi “Don’t shine so bright,” they said, “it will make other people uncomfortable and insecure.” I played that BS game long enough. Shrinking, hiding, dulling, dumbing-down. Not only is it boring AF, it will ultimately drain every bit of your juice, your life-force, your true self. RBG did not become notorious by playing dumb or shrinking to make others comfortable. And you will not live into your truest essence if you shrink or dull-down to make others comfortable. Plus...isnt it insanity - and a big boatload of misogynistic bs - to buy into an idea that “big” and “shiny” women make others uncomfortable? Who made that up? And why are we pretending it’s true? It’s time to get right-sized. And turn it UP. ALL THE WAY. Shine on, sisters. Shine ON. . . . @savorjuicedaily #shineon #stopplayingsmall #getrightsized #beyondyourcomfortzone #notoriousrbg #belikeuth #stophiding #transformationalcoaching
