virtual on Zoom. $25
a 75 minute workshop exploring and nurturing the gnarliest self: to help you anticipate, move through, and insulate yourself during hell week.
Look head-on at the hell week crashout:
Anticipate + step out of the spiral, assess your needs with clarity + compassion, and explore experimental strategies to reduce overwhelm, move through big emotions, and add padding + recovery time.
a lil luteal vibes…
Having NO IDEA what I’m gonna need or want
+ crashing out because, ope, i’ve been running around all day with just an iced coffee and a couple of almonds.
we’re hangry.
+ melting down because someone is talking over the clutter screaming at me: we’re in sensory overload
+ wanting to overhaul and uproot my whole life, but unfortunately i do need to get through the day
+ feeling blindsided by hating everything
feeling STUCK: like everything is wrong and I can’t make a single move to change any of it
+ stuff that needs my attention is piling up and all i can manage to do is RESENT every party involved especially MYSELF
+ not having capacity to say something in a good way, and then it comes out ragey, dramatic, and desperate
+ feeling like i need to move your body but my legs are made of cement attached to the netflix machine
+ Keeping doing things that feel gross: compare and despair cycle (social mediaaaaa) or too many cookies or picking a fight
feeling RAW: like i can’t keep my insides from coming out, like everything is too close for comfort and it makes my skin crawl.
+ exhaustion at the end of the day because every little thing that happens feels like it’s scratching up my skin
+ embarrassment because parts of me that i wanted to be private, like tears, or trying and failing, or frustration feel SO ON DISPLAY and vulnerable
+ getting steamrolled by big emotions that i didn’t see coming, and having to do relational damage control
+ the isolation to depression pipeline :)
learn how to…
plan ahead for your luteal phase so you can know what’s coming.
move stagnant energy so you can get unstuck.
insulate your vulnerable parts so you can walk around feeling protected and held.
study your luteal self like a scientist, or a literary scholar studying a character or an archetype so you can notice patterns with less judgment, and more understanding + precision.
Some weeks you just ARE the girl from the ring + you gotta crawl out of that TV and love yourself.
