Spent the last 7 days in Italy doing 4 hours of yoga and meditation a day with like-minded women.

Married at 21.
Becoming a mom 27-32.
Divorce at 32.
COVID - 6 moves in 1 year.
I had never traveled alone. Whenever I traveled I was an employee, partner or mom. Never just Amanda.

Last year I did a terrifying thing: I signed up for a spontaneous trip with a group of women I didn’t know to go to Tulum with Mysha Pods.
What happened was magical.
I showed up as Amanda. No titles, no expectations, no narratives to keep up for others to feel comfortable.

I made a pledge to myself.
Self care is not just working out and therapy. It’s laughing until you pee your pants. It’s finding your inner child giggling at a ceremony with new friends. It’s remembering (or discovering) who you are vs. the roles you play for others.

The last 7 days I spent detoxing in a villa in Tuscany / re-toxing in Florence with 8 other women.
We showed up not knowing one another and left saying heartfelt “I love yous” and planning a reunion. We told each other more in a week than many do in a lifetime.

These women imprinted on my heart and I was reminded of how much love there is available to you when you open yourself up to it.
I also spent time with myself. I’m alone a lot but being alone does not equal being with your thoughts. Yoga and meditation for 4 hours a day. Journaling. Sound baths. It got deep. It got dark. It got clear. It was necessary.
We are here, right now.

I haven’t been talking a lot about what I’m doing / building right now because I feel it’s an important exercise in showing up as myself: no titles or posturing.
My focus right now is my peace, growth and stability. I’m manifesting finding an amazing partner to do life with.

Just a friendly reminder….
You are enough.
