Let's get real about processing! Because whether we realize it or not, most of us are walking around in some level of survival mode and trauma response. Through stories, humor, and gentle reality checks (and maybe a snort-laugh), Carmen talks about calming our inner waters, giving ourselves (and others!) grace, and letting emotions flow without wallowing in the wallows. Inspired by her Grandad's secret ponds, she uses the pond as a simple metaphor for inner peace and joy—something we can all experience. You might just be surprised to find that small moments of clarity can show us the way.

    Don't Wait for the Word

    Carmen here- not asking but telling you (yes, I’m bossy) to TRUST. YOUR. GUT. Life it too short to worry about what Norm thinks…and honestly, does he even really know us anyway? In this post, I share how I wobbled back and forth between trusting myself and questioning myself (and freaking out a little…OK, a lot!) while learning- and living- outside the box, especially as it relates to parenting, which is already tough enough. AND why you don’t need to wait for permission… or a word, to know what you already know. I’d love to know what shows up for you when you look back! If you had to sum it up in a word- what would it be? And why?

    New Year, Smoo Year

    Did the New Year train already leave the station—and you didn’t even have a chance to buy a ticket, let alone decide where you wanted to go?It’s okay. That was just the first train—not the last. New Year, SmooYear is for anyone who’s trying to survive exhaustion (and winter!), and could use a little real talk, a reality check (the good kind!), and a laugh. Here's to giving ourselves a little grace and allowing ourselves to process —without wallowing in last year’s leftovers! CHEERS!
