✌️ Defy the Algorithm: a primer on how to do s

✌️ Defy the Algorithm: a primer on how to do so in life & social media. 📱

💻 Many have encouraged & taken the time to teach me about social media algorithms- I get why it's important. Yet my spirit resists. My "social self" (as Martha Beck calls it) wants to adhere to "the rules." Yet my "essential self" wants to do what feels purposeful & intentional in real time. And only that.

🧘 It tracks with what I teach in my healing spaces: life has a plethora of suggestions on how to rise to the top of the company, the newsfeed, the food chain. Do what feels self honoring to you. It's depleting + depressing to do what is prescribed when it doesn't suit your soul. Doing what works for your sweet self is what keeps you metaphorically "rising to the top" of your life.

💡 Other tips & tricks for saving your online sanity: do you know how to put your phone on grayscale? Ask Siri. She is your personal assistant who will do the work for you. This setting makes it infinitely less addicting to look at your phone as it removes the playground of saturated colors. (You also have to kindly ask Siri to take your phone OFF grayscale when you're done putting your phone on time out.)

👋 The Great Unfollow feature: whether it's your salty auntie who posts angry elf memes or the friend you love but saturates the newsfeed.....the "Unfollow feature" has been delightful in keeping the virtual living room all cleaned up.

Apply liberally.

Get Lit book club @blackanklevineyards is a wrap!

Get Lit book club @blackanklevineyards is a wrap!

Thank you for a delightful discussion of @kristinhannahauthor’s The Women over cheese & wine. 🍷 📕 What a brutiful book to digest & learn from. It broke & healed my heart. Thank you for the spirited discussion - both love + criticism for the book.

We started with temporary ☮️ tattoos as the book was partially set in Vietnam, noshed on food delivered by @letsgathercatering (delicious! Thank you for dropping off the deliciousness.)

The wine was from the best winery in Maryland @blackanklevineyards. Desserts from @sagecakery.

Look for the next Get Lit next spring 🌱

🗞️ Bless my heart. I watched the news today.

🔍 One thing is crystal clear, the God of some people’s understanding could not be f u r t h e r from the God(dess) of mine.

🕊️ I grew up in & quickly right out of itchy, restrictive, fear/control driven, patriarchal ideology & it has consistently tasted of sweet freedom.

💫 I help others get out from under the weight of religious trauma & the often suffocating belief that love feels like pain/control/guilt/righteous judgement (insert the *potentially* well meaning but harmful teachings of James Dobson.)

🌸 The God(dess) of my understanding is a love & kindness dealer. 🩷

"What does therapy look like in your office?" ~ Ps

"What does therapy look like in your office?" ~ Psychology Today question

🍃 My answer: Healing comes in many shapes & forms in my experience. It is not one size fits all.

🧘 Some sessions, it looks like Legs up the Wall yoga pose while doing alternate nostril breathing to regulate the nervous system before verbal processing begins.

🗣️ Talking about a highly activating incident in a purposely slow, methodical manner to slow down the nervous system down & show it what it feels like to feel safe/settled.

🎦 Watching a clip of something a client found hysterical & relates to a theme they've worked on in therapy; combined with the kind of laughing that makes our bellies ache + tears stream down our face.

👁️ Loads of EMDR (eye movement desensitization & reprocessing. Mixed in with IFS (Internal Family Systems.)

🥗 Lifestyle recommendations courtesy of Ayurveda training at The Shakti School.

💃 There may have been a time, music was playing in the waiting area & dancing ensued to help the body shake off a very p a I n f u l situation.

🌿Don't be fooled to think healing comes in only one form & one modality 🌈

What are Social Prescriptions: 👬👭👫 Non c

What are Social Prescriptions: 👬👭👫

Non clinical referrals for suffering humans to connect, learn, grow & expand.

Research shows social prescribing combats loneliness, isolation + enhances health & well being.

Full disclosure: you may cross my threshold to understand yourself, your relationships, family dynamics better AND end up in a dance class, taking an art history class, peer mentoring or getting a certification.

Connection to community connects you to yourself.
