We're talking everything that gets in the way of us feeling like we belong, and the surprising difference between 'fitting in' and ‘belonging’ (hint: it has to do with amping up the volume on the wonderful weirdness that makes you... well, you). We're talking what 'sisterhood' really means and practicing discernment so we can create safer/braver spaces, communities, and friendships for ourselves (this includes speaking up and getting out of interactions that don't work for us, and don't make us feel safe). Bottom line: how would your life be different if you belonged TO YOURSELF? If you had your own back? We dive in to figuring it out together (and making it more real in our actual lives).

It's time to make friends with the complex feels that flow through our bodies and brains every day. So many of us are taught (implicitly or explicitly) that some feelings are ‘negative’ and some are ‘positive’ — we’re exploring the radical concept that ‘all feelings are good feelings’ — it’s all about having a healthy relationship with them. We've all got a center: a rooted place we can return to within ourselves — where we trust ourselves even when life feels stormy. When we're experiencing anxiety, stress, hormonal intensity, or a ride on the emotional roller coaster called life we can get a little bit un-centered. It's time to up our skills to come back to center again and again, and feel strong in relating to ALL the feels. This is badass teen magic.

It’s getting cozy, cold and dark outside — finals are on for a lot of folks — and it might be on of those times where you’re feeling grateful that you have a circle to fall back into when stuff gets a little busy, stressful or hard (which it does sometimes). We’re talking coming home to ourselves, faux confidence, how to stop comparing yourself to others (and stay in your own lane and be awesome), boundaries for people pleasing, tools for navigating big and small change in our lives, dismantling internalized supremacy culture, getting rid of gendered labels, and celebrating our unique whole, imperfect, magical selves more and more. If you’ve ever wondered ‘what is confidence really’ or wanted to have more of ‘it’ — this month’s theme is for YOU.

Have you ever heard a "joke" about how people who menstruate are "crazy"? Did it happen to allude (not so subtly) to the fact that it might have something to do with their menstrual cycle? We often receive the message that people who menstruate are 'unpredictable' and 'blow hot and cold.' On top of that, female-bodied folks can often experience (if you've got your period) that a cycle of menstrual hormones and physical symptoms can be... a real rocky ride. We're diving into why female-bodied folks are actually incredibly predictable (hint: we operate on a 28ish day hormone cycle not a 1 day hormone cycle like testosterone-dominant bodies), and how to care for yourself so that your period is actually easy, breezy (yup). We're tackling cyclical living, starting fresh, receiving the good, letting go, and resting like the magical being you are. Yes, I said YOU MAGIC. Side note: you do not have to have your period for this month to be applicable; we're talking about cycles of all kinds. A bonus of this month’s theme? Learn to manage your time & energy like a badass boss of productivity (rather than fighting your cycle).

Our bodies are the home we get for our whole lives, right? But often, we push them to capacity with stress, judgement (about how they're not quite 'right'), lack of sleep, and not quite knowing how to care for 'em (I get it, it's a little difficult). Then layer in the whole thing of interacting with other people (be it a friend who wants a hug, an uncle who still wants to pat you on the head every holiday, or a partner who you want to get a little sexy with) and it can get even more complex! Bodies are private space and yet they’re often treated like ‘public space’ — anyone and everyone can comment (and it’s 99% based on their own projections). We’re diving into topics like toxic diet culture, intuitive eating, toxic exercise culture, why body image lives in our heads, how to get free, embodiment and so many other amazing unlearning/remembering things. If you want to have an epic friendship or love affair with your body — this month is for YOU. All bodies are good bodies — let’s learn how to practice that together.

Your body has a voice though, if you know how to listen to it. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes it's loud, and often it speaks in ways we've forgotten how to understand. Here's some great news though: while we may experience discomfort or pain in the body, we also have a capacity for massive amounts of joy and sensually positive experiences (let's figure out how to tap into that). Did you know that in many countries it’s totally normally for kids to have great sex ed classes in school from kindergarten all the way through high school? And that statistically it’s correlated with safer, consensual and enjoyable experiences for everyone involved? Yup. WELCOME TO THE MOST AMAZING LEAST AWKWARD SEX ED CLASS TAUGHT BY YOUR BADASS SISTER (where literally nothing is weird ever). We're tackling knowing your no, knowing your yes, feeling like your body is yours (rather than what other people expect your body to look like, behave like, or be like), why female body anatomy is so cool 101, sex ed myth busters, why pleasure isn’t just about sex, and so much more. It’s time for conversations like this to feel more normal and easy.

Get ready for everyone’s favorite topic (literally so important)… relating to other humans!! We’re talking dating, crushes, friendships, family, mentors, teachers… etc. etc. etc. So many folks socialized as girls are taught to prioritize others’ feelings and needs over their own in relationship — and yet that can set up some pretty unhealthy relationship dynamics. What does it take to build a non-toxic friend community that actually has your back (we’re practicing it together)? How do you navigate a hard friend break up? What about communicating your actual needs with someone? And what is a crush actually? And when do you know you want to date them? And how do you communicate with parental units in a way where they actually hear you? If it helps you with relating well — we’re going there together this month.

You've got a voice. Do you use it? How often do you tamp it down, say it nicer, or go quiet so that you won't offend someone? We live in a culture that often teaches people socialized as girl to please people over listening to themselves. Let's investigate that, huh? We're tackling expression, wild instinct, art, getting dressed in clothes that feel true to you, gender feelings, and what it takes to move your feeling into action (and not let it get stuck in your throat). It can be one of the greatest joys in life to express ourselves fully — and this isn’t just for ‘good artists’ or ‘creative people’ or whatever (we’ll be unpacking that). What form of expression feels good to you? It’s turns out expression is a practice for self-love and connection.

Who is a leader? Maybe a leader gets to be someone who cares. Maybe your heart breaks for the world almost daily? Sometimes you feel small? And possibly the definition of ‘good leader’ doesn’t feel like it was built to fit you and your zones of genius? We’re diving into redefining leadership + power (and figuring out your leadership style), trusting what lights you up (and how to feel it), how to start your own business in high school (if that’s your thing), finding your purpose, creating an epic life, and a sustainable path in social justice and activism. Leadership is easier when we do it together. Every day we’re creating with our lives — creating relationships, creating art, creating moments — what’s the life you want to consciously co-create for yourself? We’ll be exploring imperfect, beautiful, messy, real, whole-hearted ways to answer this together in our final month — where it’s not somebody else’s agenda, but about what lights us up in this beautiful, broken open world.
