Hey, Heal Squad! We are back with another Sunday Set Up to set yourself up for the week ahead. This week’s big reminder: true light work means staying neutral and compassionate, recognizing where others are on their journey, and not taking their projections personally.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad! Why “insane times” feel louder now that we’re hyper-connected. How shock events spark outrage and reactions not necessarily of us and what to remember when they do.  Why admitting “I said something stupid,” asking for empathy, and moving on beats pretending to be perfect.

Happy Friday, Regular Guys and Gals! Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week!
