Congrats on adopting Freya's adoption and making it legally official you're all family. I'm so happy for you Ashley. And thanks for this! Just got through a health scare and found myself so run down the day after the (relieving) results. Wild how the body holds on until we have the capacity to deal...just like our feelings!

Rest, noticing, and giving ourself space are hard core health habits. I know you know this. Thank you for this reminder to make those things happen.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for celebrating with us Ali, it means a lot. 💛 I’m so relieved to hear your health scare had a good outcome, and yes, isn’t it amazing (and sometimes baffling) how our bodies hold on until they sense we’re safe enough to release? Sending you big doses of rest and gentleness as you recover. I’m glad this episode landed as a reminder for you, those “hard core health habits” are truly the quiet, powerful ones. Thinking of you and your family.

Thank you so much for this nourishing moment! I love the Field notes - just reminds me how simple the shifts can be. A few breaths, listening more, remembering, feeling grateful. Sending so much love from Estonia and so glad Freya is now (officially) part of the family ❤️

Thank YOU for listening from Estonia! You captured it perfectly, the shifts really can be that simple. A few breaths, a moment of real listening... sometimes that's everything. And yes, having Freya officially part of our family feels like such a gift. Sending love right back to you <3
