Ahhh I love the idea of right-sizing. I too have had times in my life when I've wanted to go big but my intuition calls me back down, leading me towards something which is usually much "smaller" but can still be very fulfilling (and more sustainable). Good for you going with your gut, even when it's hard. (And since I'm in the States I'm also happy you'll be continuing hybrid offerings. I attended the breathwork session you did with the Breathwork Liberation Society recently and have been wanting to thank you for that, because I had such a wonderful experience and was introduced to some gorgeous music by way of your playlist—so thank you, I'll be back for more!) Anyway, just wanted to chime in and thank you for your work as a whole, I appreciate it so much 💖

Oh wow! Thank you for being here and for your kind words, Alanna. That BLS practice was such a delight, I’m glad it crossed our paths (and I’m curious which songs you enjoyed!)

They were all so good! The two that really got the emotions flowing for me during the session were Wye Oak’s “Civilian” and “River Song” by Hank Midnight & Laura Heaberlin. And Agnes Obel’s “Familiar” has since become a favorite. Yep, I looked them all up once the replay was sent because I loved them so much I didn’t want to let them get away! ☺️

I swear, breathwork practices are one of my favourite ways to find new music. Civilian actually came to me via Amy Kuretsky, so I’m glad I could continue the chain! 😁

Elle thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing this! I’m proud of you for listening to yourself and giving us all this example so we can practice too. I really needed to hear it 🖤 and I’m excited to see how this dream unfolds ✨

Thank you, sweetheart! I hope the invitation to find right-sidedness takes you where you need to go (even if it’s different to where you thought you would) 💕

I needed to read this today, 🙌 right sizing, yes!! And also when I read the part about you going to view the unit, I heard myself sayin surprise, "oh its going to be a physical studio!?" So just to say, when I read about SDL my heart sung, and, I assumed it would be online (for a bit).
