Changing Skins

This is an excerpt from the weekly News-Loveletter. If you would like it sent to your inbox directly (with all the other juicy bits, including a mini joy practice), you can add yourself to my mailing list here.

Someone left me a present in the scritchy-scratchy chips.

"Look!" I point to it. My friend Fergie, trowel in hand, leans in.

"You know what this is?" I ask her.

Fergie dips in closer to look. She's learning the language of this land. The long, translucent wrapper I hold carefully does not translate at first.

"What is it?" she asks. "A ... a snake?"

"It's the skin of a snake," I say. "The snake grew, and her skin no longer fit. She scraped it off alongside this plant."

Fergie's eyes light up. "Oh ... that's wonderful," she says. And it is.

How many times in the past year have you outgrown your old habits, haunts, and ways of being?

Did you feel the newness in you, a bright, fresh skin, and then stretch, ready to burst forth?

Did you feel the discomfort of the not-fitting and grimace as you left your old ways behind?

Transformation isn't always easy or comfortable. It is inevitable. When you choose to take charge of your growth, the discomfort is easier to manage. The clarity feels welcome.

You step into your power as you set out to meet your future self.

Ready for a summer of transformation?
 Join me June 1–25 for Prime and Shine: 25 Days to Your Best Summer—completely FREE.

We’ll meet twice in June on Zoom. And I’ll go live on YouTube every morning at 7:30 a.m. Pacific, with a mini-lesson and practice on Priming. Can’t join live? No worries—tune in whenever and wherever you can. You can even prime on your own, off-grid on a mountain top!

The magic comes from showing up for yourself daily. Just 10–30 minutes of Priming—the practice that transformed my life five summers ago—can change everything.

In community, transformation accelerates. Hearing others stories and sharing your own is inspiring, practical, and fun.

Want a sneak peek at the science behind Priming and a chance to take it for a test-drive?
 Listen to my conversation with Tanja on the Energized Woman Podcast here on Spotify or here on Apple.

If your heart is saying yes now, register here to get all the links. Let’s make this a summer to remember.
