A new end-of-month writing + reflection workshop is ready for you! 📝
Each month, I share a recorded workshop to help you build a monthly personal check-in practice that’s sustainable, and in community with others.
If you’re not in the mood for a full video, scroll down for the prompts and timestamps.👇
Also, a friendly reminder that you do not have to do this practice at the end of the month! Or on any specific cadence! Or at all!
My intention with these is to create a container you can dip in and out of whenever and however you like, that offers the accountability and support to cultivate a consistent check-in practice that keeps you connected to—and in regular conversation with—yourself.
Grab your journal (or your Buddy!) and a snack, and settle in for some guided writing + reflection. And don’t forget to scroll down to the comments when you’re done and chime in on this month’s discussion question!
This month we’ll explore saying yes to our soul’s whisper, and how we can support ourselves in leaps big and small.
Our theme is loosely inspired by my recent experience of being a beginner again, and what it’s been like to dive headfirst into a new-to-me craft.

Prompt #1
To warm up and get the juices flowing, spend a few minutes reflecting on the facts of the past month. Try making some lists:
What has happened lately? (delightful, heavy, neutral)
What have you been thinking about and/or processing lately?
What can you celebrate? (accomplishments, gratitudes, things you’ve survived)
Prompt #2
Spend time with one or more of these prompts about leaping and beginning anew:
What are you feeling called to try, explore, or leap toward?
What are the stakes? What about this new territory feels scary, or vulnerable, or gives you pause?
Where in your life have you already built a solid foundation of trust for yourself that you can lean on?

💬 In the comments below: what’s one area in your life where you’re feeling the call to begin anew?
If you’re comfortable, this is a great opportunity to receive support! Share your impending leap below, big or small, and let’s give each other the gift of being witnessed and celebrated.
Until next time,
Michelle
