With all that’s going on in the world, remember none of us choose or do anything to deserve who we happen to be born to, where, what gender, etc.
By connecting to the Divinity as well as humanity! in ourselves and others we can hopefully find more compassion and give ourselves and others more grace
Síle na Gig
Was sorry to not be able to cross the country for Dr Karen Ward's delightful sounding Moon Mná Síle na Gig celebrations but made sure to visit my local friend 💚

Beautiful reading nook!
No. I think all reviewers should share information about their various identities and biases (for so long, it was all white men). I also feel irritated by bad reviews as why waste the energy? Puts me off the reviewer more than the author but also have some PDA (don't tell me what to like/disklike)
New tattoo!
I love seeing each new issue of Platinum when it comes out.
My monthly advice column has been running since September and is such a delight to write.
This month's Feel. Love. Heal. ideas are for someone who felt like she'd lost her zing 🍋

Still can't believe I get to live in Ireland after nearly 7 years living in Ireland.
Paused to ground and admire Rathcroghan again on my way home today.
Magic ❤️❤️❤️

Would you like to get to know yourself and your Self (that highest, wisest, truest, wildest, most joyful, brilliant and miraculous part of yourself) better? To join a nonheirarchical community of people connecting with your inner wisdom and the lunar cycles?
Oh! If only!
My magical but frosty Brigid/Full Moon sea dip (did the meditative elements before and after. Pure in and out then off to heated pool, steam and sauna).
If you enjoy working with the moon's energies, people of all genders are welcome in the Westport Lunar Circles 🌗🌟

Each month, we'll meet to connect and support each other on or around the Waning Half Moon (as we release some of what gets in the way of feeling balance and harmony in ourselves, homes, life, work and relationships).
Late diagnosis of neurodivergence is helping me understand SO much about my past and even to find more compassion for my inner teenager (sober since 2001).
If you're out and about and struggling, might you be gentler with yourself?

Selfie of me, Eve Menezes Cunningham, with my hair in a high bun pretending (in my imagination) to be a ballerina
When I wear my hair like this, there's a teeny tiny part of me that's pretending (only to myself) that I'm a ballerina
... Such a pleasure to speak to Jenny Tucker for the Telegraph's Health section a while back.
We chatted for ages and I had so much more to share it inspired a whole episode of the podcast too!

#peoplepleaser
Do you ever go beyond caring in a way that feels good and ending up feeling like you've given metaphorical bone marrow?
People pleasing can be a trauma response and can also be common with ADHD where we've been so conditioned to mask as much as possible.

...why it's so common in women, other minorities, and ADHDers, and how it kept our ancestors (and us when we were younger) alive.
Ever wonder why you automatically say "yes" to everything, even when you don't want to? You're not broken - you're responding from a place of survival. In this episode, we explore the "tend and befriend" stress response... youtu.be/nJFpr5l5RFg?...
Welcome to my garden.
Give yourself a break.
Just one minute can offer a wonderful reset helping you find some clarity and create a life you don't need to retreat from.

Harvard stood strong and won. The law firms that stood strong, won. We have to wonder about the firms and corporations that caved- are they cowards or collaborators??

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in their new bodies in Freakier Friday
Freakier Friday lived up to my high hopes. Delightful and full of laughs.
AND a potential solution to all the issues facing Planet Earth:
Body switches between loads of humans (and creatures) cultivating greater understanding and empathy and healing for all...
Whatd'ya think?
#freakierfriday
Awe isn't just good for our mood. As I mention in the book, positive emotions like awe create DHEA. What can you do for yourself and your Self* today?
