Whenever I get one of your emails I stop what I am doing and read it right away and it is always exactly the right thing to do.

Happy full moon. Grounding, knowing, loving, connecting and being. With jokes. Seems like a great definition of enlightenment to me.

I'm filled with gratitude for your words, Sebene!

May you be well and happy.

Just to say, though I have signed up and tried newsletters from a number of people long like the arm, and some, yours is one of very few I still read religiously as it continues to be inspiring, interesting, and challenges routine thought forms that are stale and less than useful. Thank you for sharing yourself πŸ™πŸ»

Thanks for sharing your wisdom and vulnerability. You've been through so much and you continue to love and give. That is not easy to do. I'm working on staying grounded in the present moment. Thanks for all the gentle reminders.

Wow! You incorporated a lot of wisdom nuggets into this offering. I listened to it and then had to go read it too! Thanks for keeping us up to date with Finot and her life. I fell in love with her reading You Belong and am thrilled to hear your sisterly shenanigans. I have a daughter who was born with a chromosomal abnormality and she teaches me β€œSometimes we need permission to simply be ourselves.” When I let her be her, and me be me I see no disability - just life unfolding with a whole lotta love!

That's such a beautiful way to put it Nicole. When I was a kid, I struggled with wishing Finot was not the way she is. And I still catch myself being frustrated with certain aspects of her beingness, but when I do settle into letting her and me be, there is such freedom and love! What a beautiful lesson. Thanks for reading... xox.

I deeply relate to your feelings of distance after publishing You Belong. I think for those of us who dig deep and evolve rapidly, by the time we get to the end of a big project, we’ve discovered so many layers of ourselves we feel like totally different people from who we were when we started!

I found you through dr Tara on her podcast and the more consume of your wisdom the more I know I’m in the right space. Just listening to this we have so so many similarities in our journey. I am in deep healing/delulu from a brain tumor last year and in the most difficult space in my life and in all honesty I didn’t think it could get any worse -so I’m here to say thank you so so much and I’m off to find your book x
