softening into your role
The moon is in beautiful Cancer, a maternal sign that welcomes us home. And for many of us, that’s a softer way of approaching the world. For many of us, we’ve been taught to be much more masculine than we really are. So what would it feel like to not be like that? To reclaim ourselves with our next step? Our next breath? By making the decision to soften back into ourselves.. to be ourselves… to not make things so difficult by trying to fit ourselves into a mold that never fit us.
So that we can become vessels,
Vessels that birth a way of living that feels safer for so many.
For me lately, this looks like taking my makeup off, stopping anything that feels too performative

finding expanders to get where you want to go
Our lives are the result of the stories we believe to be true, and for many of us, we are buying into stories that do not support us at all. Stories like "business is hard" or "living your calling is impossible" or love has to be difficult on you.
A story you were told and bought into.
But did you ever think about where those stories come from? And why you are buying into them?
In business there is a concept known as *sell or be sold* and it relates to the idea that you are either selling your product or being sold the reasons why someone can't buy from you. And though helpful in marketing an offer, maybe even more so in convincing yourself of your own potential.
What stories are you buying into? And how could you sell yourself on what you'd much rather?

a manifesting story, and birthday
In a few days I’ll be turning 28.
And a couple months back my partner and I had a late night date at one of our favourite 24/hour cafes. I was working on Empaths in Business and he was keeping me company and working on his own things. I looked up and noticed a really pretty bottle… there was liquor in it but I was more interested in the bottle itself. I loved the look of it and how it said Avril, April in French. I looked closer and above the label it said: Quebecois. Making it a local company, which made me love it even more.
So I told him that I wanted the bottle for my birthday.
It was a random thing to say. My mind just associated Avril with my April birthday and I thought the bottle would make a pretty flower vase, especially being a Quebec company.

on next steps (signs from our spirits)
I’m in the business of noticing things.
Life’s intricacies.
A detective to my surroundings.
And what I feel when I’m in them.
Like when I kept purchasing outdated juice a few weeks back. At first it was an accident, then a pattern. One I chose to notice because patterns are telling, and that one was asking me to take note of what was expired in how I was living. Or like how January saw me obsessed with the colour green: the colour of the heart chakra - and shared humanity. (A theme running through all of 2020.) I wore a green scarf, a green ring and felt pulled to drinking green smoothies again; a pattern I noticed and shared with my community over on Instagram to prepare folks for what we were going to be up against. I didn’t know it would be a pandemic, just that we were stronger together and our togetherness would be healing.

Preparing for Love (How to Manifest a Loving Partnership)
When I first started my blog I wrote a lot about love. Mostly heartbreak because I’m fascinated by feelings and healing and wanted to share what I knew — maybe those blog posts are how you found my work? Over the last year though, the conversation has been shifting and I’ve been sharing more and more on manifesting new love, because last March I met my current partner and I’m learning so much about what it means to be in a healthy partnership. Not surprising, I receive a lot of questions from readers and listeners on how I manifested him

Self worth, and choosing it even when it’s difficult
I don’t know if it’s our current astrology, or the fact that we are at the start of a new month before a new year, but something on my mind lately is the idea of self worth.
And how having worth is a choice we make, in each and every moment.
Especially in those that feel most blurry.
Moments where we aren’t sure of our responsibilities; when the empath in us knows what another needs and also that we aren’t meant to fix anybody. Moments when we see our own part in an argument or falling out and want to take accountability because we always have, and being the one to apologize would be easiest on everyone involved. Dis-including us, but we’re tough and are used to being the one to carry what others won’t. Moments where being responsible is our default response. Moments when everything in us tells us it’s our job to be another’s support, even if being so hurts so much and leaves us left out.
Moments when our identity is so emeshed in helping that we don’t know how to be anything else. Who are we if we aren’t kind and considerate?
Those moments are the moments when we need to choose our worth, most. Those are the moments where we have to make a choice to stand for what we deserve.

the Law of Rhythm (and growing into the life you asked for)
When I started this post, I didn’t know what I’d type. Just that I wanted to sneak off to a cafe and write.
Life.
Because mine has changed and has been changing and I feel I am now just catching up with all the changes happening. All the changes asked of me. By me. I asked for all this; the partner, the creative city, the burning away of responsibilities no longer a fit for me, but change isn’t easy and for so much of this year life was happening quickly, and I was flowing downstream, submerged and unable to breathe. Holding on for dear life, Uranus with a chokehold on my sun sign (I’m Taurus and woah has our need for routine and consistency been put to the test by Uranus and it’s need to disrupt everything), waiting for the moment I felt fine.
Life was good, and I was in sensory overload.
Getting everything I wanted and feeling like I couldn’t cope.
And I think it’s okay to admit that it’s okay to be uncomfortable, even in the midst of things working out. And I think it’s important to recognize that getting what we want involves so much change in who we are; an alchemy of our hearts and how we identify ourselves. And that no matter how incredible, life changes can be hard. And the most beautiful moments, difficult.

the masculine & feminine energies and why your business isn't working yet
When I first met my partner (a fellow entrepreneurial soul) we were talking about how we each got our start in business. And for him it was making cold calls. And I thought, oh no. Definitely not. That wouldn’t work with my skillset.
For me, it started internal.
I needed to know my worth, first and foremost,
and create a foundation (website and signature offering) that felt like my authentic truth.
