As I hinted about the other day, @heysisterseasons

As I hinted about the other day, @heysisterseasons is the brain child of Rebecca, my latest conscious consulting client ✨ Rebecca has created her mission-driven business to educate women about their menstrual cycles through the lens of nature, where we can learn how to take care of our bodies and in turn, take care of the planet. This beautiful quote ties in so well with Sister Seasons’ purpose!🤍 Everything really is connected, and our collective need for healing and wellness is directly related to our planet’s cry for help, not to mention this yearning for growing, cultivating and nourishing we all seem to be feeling😍 Women have always been deeply tethered to the earth, with the principle that our feminine cycles are a microcosm of the natural seasons🌕 @heysisterseasons helps us understand how we can bring balance back into our bodies for our own health and for the restoration of balance in the natural world, while integrating these practices into our daily lives🌸 I’m so excited to see her business blossom! Our call on Wednesday was amazing, and we discussed everything from:
✔️how to authentically grow an audience off of IG (it IS possible, my friends!)
✔️how to invite more ease and energy into business planning
✔️how to ask for guidance when you need it most - whether from a fellow human or a spirit guide 😉 I’ve been blessed with some truly incredible clients, and I cannot wait to step into this space more deeply🙌🏽 If you’re interested in booking a call for your business, click the link in bio or DM me, and let’s chat!👉🏽👉🏽
 Also, if you’re interested in learning more about @heysisterseasons and the workshops that will be coming, sign up for their email list, which delivers beautiful nuggets of earthly goodness🌳 #forageandsustain

This trend I’m seeing is kinda crazy! Last week

Swipe 👉🏽👉🏽 to see my first mood board!

Swipe 👉🏽👉🏽 to see my first mood board! A lot is happening in the world and in the spaces we occupy. There seems to be a rising polarity in thought, opinion and perspective in almost all areas of humanity - environmentalism, politics, social justice etc. At the same time though something else is happening, one that I’ve been hearing a lot about from others and also sensing myself - a rise in consciousness and a mass awakening ✨ I’ve been diving in deep into this work, journaling, mediating and seeking guidance, and rather than being able to effectively put anything into words right now, I’ve been feeling creative, using imagery as expression🎨 So swipe for my fun little mood board, one that is meant to inspire and awaken the senses, asking us to open our minds and be more accepting of the changes we’re seeing, in ourselves and in each other🤍 If you feel called to, maybe grab a journal and see what comes up for you when you interact with these images, and the idea of open-mindedness📝 Images:
1 - mental chambers // @cerealmag
2 - taking the path less known // @jacquemus fashion show
3 - the face we have and the face our soul has // unknown
4 - how we collect our thoughts and the vessels that serve as our mental chambers // @koketit
5 - open your mind
6 - do we turn away from other’s opinions or stand in solidarity and understanding of differences // @oghalealex
7 - perception - is your glass half full or half empty
8 - who are you when judgement from others ceases, and who are you when you cease to judge // @cj_hendry
9 - what does freedom feel like to you? On the theme of open-mindedness, meditation, humanity and a rise in consciousness, stay tuned for something exciting coming to the Forage world, in about a month’s time!🙌🏽 #forageandsustain

Let’s play a fun game! What is your dream job ou

Let’s play a fun game! What is your dream job outside of what you’re currently doing? ☁️☁️ I’m in a dreamy state right now, and would love to know what you’ve always wanted to do, or what you think you might have loved doing. I’m definitely a multi-passionate person (hello manifesting generator!), so career ideas have changed drastically for me over the years. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut, a fashion designer, a doctor, an interior decorator, and to climb Mount Everest (I thought this was a job lol)🗻 Now, I feel grateful and fortunate to say that I’m doing exactly what I want to be doing, and there’s not much else I’d want, occupation-wise! But if I realllllly had to choose (and in an ideal world where I had the skillset), I wouldn’t mind being:
✨an urban planner
✨owning a farmstead/vineyard,
✨or being a futurist (thanks to @advance.notice for blowing my mind with the coolness of foresight) 🤯 Okay now you! Tell me in the comments 😍👇🏽👇🏽 And ps. If you’ve been toying with the idea of starting something (a biz idea, a blog, whatever!), or are interested in pivoting your current job, and need some direction and cheerleading, get in touch! My conscious consulting offer includes idea generation and I’d LOVE to ideate with you!👉🏽👉🏽 link in bio for more! #forageandsustain

✨I’ve recently come across an emerging term, o

✨I’ve recently come across an emerging term, one that many cultures have just inherently practiced, but one that is now gaining official recognition in the West for its sweetness - The Errand Friend Hang. I shared this with my newsletter community in June, and so many people responded saying how much they loved it, so I had to share it again here, with all of you!🤍 So, what is the Errand Friend Hang? Quite simply, it’s calling up a friend to accompany you while you tend to the tasks that come with adulting - grocery store runs, picking up a Kijiji buy, deciding on a new piece of furniture, etc. The errand friend hang waves away the interview-ish aspects of meeting at a bar for a “catch-up sesh.” Instead of summarized updates, it pulls together people in a more humanistic way, unveiling the aspects of each other that are normally not shown, but that are vulnerable and real. It’s enjoying each other’s company in an easeful way, sometimes a quieter way, that isn’t necessarily filled with just the highlights of a quick and digestible life. My mum used to do this all the time when I was younger - there was no official recognition of a term, it was just something she did with friends, and my sister mentioned she does it often too. Challenging the way we usually interact with friends might lead to more gentle ways of being with each other, as well as contributing to feelings of a full and supported life♥️ Who might you take a walk with through the ordinary parts of life, that are actually anything but ordinary?👇🏽 #forageandsustain
I can’t remember where I first saw this, so if anyone knows who “coined” the term, lmk!

An aerial view of all of us leaving Instagram after its newest announcement…😂 Just kidding, but in case you haven’t heard, this app will be moving towards prioritizing video content instead of photos in the coming months (read: TikTok 2.0), which has caused quite the stir. IG was built on photo sharing, and this will mean huge shifts for content creators, photographers, small businesses, and basically anyone who loved this app for the photo aspect 📷 For small businesses especially, this will mean SO much more work, time and investment in their marketing - to get seen, to promote their products, and to stay relevant, not to mention losing the art of storytelling via gorgeous imagery. Photos just hit different 🤷🏽‍♀️ How do you feel about it?👇🏽👇🏽 If you’re feeling overwhelmed and want to hash out a strategy, click the link in bio to book a call with me!👉🏽👉🏽 We can tackle this transition slowly and manageably, so you’re not feeling frazzled by jumping on the newest pivot without understanding how to do it in a way that works for you 🤍 The ever-changing landscape of this app can be stressful, but I got you! 🙌🏽 Conscious Consulting - link in bio for more information👉🏽👉🏽 #forageandsustain
