Sooo inspired by this and might end up doing a round up of the month myself! Thanks for being so transparent and open with us :)

Ooh so glad you enjoyed - thank you! Also I didn't realize you were on Substack as well so heading over to give you a follow now. Would love to read your version of this if you opt to do something similar!

Yep, I am with you on loving these types of round-up posts. I find it kinda makes us feel less alone in our own lives, reading and supporting others as they go about living their lives. Plus, they are great for cross-pollination of content out there as there is just too much to cover on your own. So thank you!

I'm definitely with you, Kelsey, in loving these little glimpses into others' lives - as a mirror and for inspo too. Thank you, as always, for your transparency!

Also thank you for the journal prompts. They inspired me to crack open my much-neglected journal and jump into my own month-in-review. My answers were illuminating and, honestly, quite discouraging. It was hard to realize how little aliveness there was during Jan and how much was draining my energy and vitality. But it was also really helpful to shine a light of awareness on these things so I can start to add in more of the good stuff and course correct in some of the places that have gone off-kilter.

Two things I'm working on shifting during Feb: (1) fixing my wonky sleep schedule that's rippling out to negatively affect so many other areas of my life, and (2) leaning into love: self-love and partner love. More compassion and care for myself; more quality connection with my partner.

Grateful to you for prompting these reflections!

Mmm sending so much love with the hardness that was January. I love these intentions for February. Wonky sleep has SUCH a ripple effect so I hope you can get some reprieve there.

Oooh thank you Kristina! Your approach to parenting and family is such a source of inspiration for me, so I may take you up on that as I get further into the journey. Sending lots of love!
