'tis the season of self-neglect


Hey Reader,

I've been in super planning mode so I missed the last two newsletters! I wanted to let you know, I haven't stopped! But they will be on pause. I know how helpful it can be to have that reminder to focus in on your needs and your values. I will be transitioning the newsletter's format in 2024 so for now, I'm no longer sending the weekly curated content.

But I will be in touch! As I said, I'm in super planning mode and I want to share it all with you, plus I want to make sure you keep remembering how important you are, that your feelings matter, and that you're whole, valid, and worthy.

So here's what's going on right now:

  1. New Year, More YOU! Summit Group is opening on November 24th!! The summit is taking place January 8-11. Because you're an awesome subscriber AND email opener, you can get access to the group link now, invites will be approved early!! New Year, More YOU! (What's New Year, More YOU!?)
  2. Season 2 of The Pursuit of You Podcast is also coming in January 2024!! I'm super proud of my journey and I hope you'll tune in. You can catch outtakes and clips of the upcoming season on my IG @joscelynkateā€‹
  3. The 21-Day Real Life Reset course is ALSO coming in January!! I know. So many things. Get on the waitlist for the course here and see what it's all about šŸ˜ƒ

ā€‹

And before January...

This is a season that begins months of self-neglect for so many people. I know you're looking to spread so much love, joy, cheer, and support during this time so it can be easy to choose to sacrifice your needs. I want to offer you the space to give your needs attention, keep that inner relationship strong, and allow yourself to access that which keeps you healthy and happy.

Join me for 21 days of Compassionate Self Forgiveness guided meditations.

November 5-25, 2023, 7 AM EST

ā€‹Live on Facebook

I am offering short guided meditations to start your day with compassionate self-forgiveness. Commit to letting some of it go. Commit to holding space for you. I hope to see you there!

Sending so much love and light.

In warmth & growth,

Joscelyn Kate

Defensiveness is two people pointing weapons at each other, one must put theirs down first for anyone to start feeling safe. PERSPECTIVE SHIFTS Last week I shared a story on threads and talked about both my experience in couples counseling and sharing that story with other people. I had to admit that I was wrong in order to move forward in my relationship. My husband also had work to do, but that was his business and his choice. My work was to see where I was holding up a weapon and choose to...

The first step to turning an unhealthy relationship into a healthy one is taking care of yourself. PERSPECTIVE SHIFTS I recently shared a story on threads about my husband and I in couples counseling. In the story, I talked about how I thought I had our problem all figured out but I was wrong. Something I didn't expect from sharing that story, was how many people would commend me for admitting my fault and taking accountability. I realized what a strength it is to admit being wrong and how...

Expressing your thoughts and feelings will feel like a burden if you're overly concerned with how it makes someone else feel. PERSPECTIVE SHIFTS When you're made to feel like you're too hot to handle, you're more likely to withhold your true thoughts and feelings. People often use a tactic I call The Hot Potato Game to make someone else feel like they're "too much" to avoid rejection or to not deal with feelings. If you've been made to feel like you're being too serious or you can't take a...
