What if we thought about routine as a homecoming rather than a chore?

We often say we “need to get back into a routine” especially after summer & holidays. But I find that the language we use around “routine” often implies a sense of obligation. The dreaded “daily grind,” and in the same vein, an internal chastising of ourselves for “falling off.”

Jupiter in Leo: Highlighting the gap between performative authenticity & embodied sovereignty

My Story

It was late 2022 when I heard my soul whisper there was something more for me to do. And to be honest, it scared the sh*t out of me. 

I was in a supervisory position and dealt with mental health crises every day—I knew this wasn’t that. I had worked hard on my own healing. I had built a life and shared a home with my long-term partner and his son, who I loved dearly. Hadn’t I wanted this?
