Congrats on the author meetup thingy! That's really cool. If I was in Austin, I'd definitely stop by to say hey.

Great quote from Eliza here:

"Listening is hard, especially in a world that values the person being listened to over the person doing the listening.”

Let me know if y'all discuss the going paid part, too, of course. I'm sure you will have a blast!

These are great prompts and I have been learning a great deal about Internal Family Systems and guided breathwork through an online program I began called The Whole Soul Way led by Deb Blum. I can see how this would fit well with intuitive eating. I am a committed journaler so I will add these prompts to different ones I explore each day and go even deeper into breathwork. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your breathwork session, it sounds amazing. I wish I was closer (or even in the same country🤣) so I could go to your meet-up. Have a great time!

Kristi, I love breathwork! I've been doing it for years and have an online circle I do it with most Sunday afternoons. As well as tuning into my body, it also helps calm my monkey mind when I'm really having trouble focusing on writing. It's a game changer if you can sneak in a breathwork session before you work on your Substack posts.

And the more you often you give your parasympathetic nervous system a chance to rest and recalibrate through breathwork, the sessions build on each other. I'm so glad you tried it and wrote about it.

Hi, What a great writing challenge! I find that listening to myself becomes more and more important all the time and that is one of my favorite questions: "what do I need right now?" Sometimes, the answer is as simple take a warm shower, other times the answer is more complex.
