A new kitten and a new job! I'm happy you are doing well and thank you for sharing my guide for young people in this great and packed newsletter!

Thanks so much, JD! And thanks for the “coffee” recently ☺️. Your guide for youth was top notch.

Love the read up on the golden girls, the videos and the gratitude post. Had a break on here so missed Dr Talia’s latest.

And yey to the new job! It sounds like there is alignment there.

Always looking forward to the next update 💛

Thank you! 🫶🏻 I may need to follow your lead and take a break on here in December.

I’m glad you worked on the typo (updated now), I’m not sure I would’ve 😂

I take a weeks break every month on or around my period (or new moon for those who don’t bleed). Had to build up to it steadily though in order to make it long lasting and sustainable.

Now I look forward to it and find it much easier to do. Might treat myself to 2 weeks at Xmas!❤️💚

Congrats on the new job!! I totally relate with stress contributing to symptoms—wishing you a smooth transition getting started and a regulated nervous system!

I always love seeing the cat updates. I’m sure they will all be best friends in no time 😸

And thank you for the article mention!

Just spoke about the need for laughter today with a yoga instructor who specializes in laughter with yoga. I met her while planting native micro forest in a school field corner. It really does help lift my mood. Great article!

I took a laughing yoga class once! It was…interesting, lol. Native micro forest - how cool!! 😎

Aww, Nova has such a sweet face! I hope she keeps settling in ok. 🥰

Thank you! She’s doing great. Everyone is getting along, finally, and she’s able to chill out when I need to focus 😻

First, congratulations on your new job and the continued subsiding of your symptoms! So happy for you 🫶🏻 I love how many show loves we have in common too. Schitts Creek (watched it once myself and then again with my parents during lockdown), Ted Lasso (watched with my dad), and Shrinking. I can’t even put into words how much I love that show. Ted Lasso got me into Welcome to Wrexham which is a docuseries but spares no expense when it comes to laughter and warming the heart. Forever obsessed with the Great British Bake Off too even though I have zero desire to ever actually bake.
