I’m A Ninja

July 21, 2014 · In: LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized

Mall Mall-2

Mall-4Chris had a rock bottom closet moment yesterday=it has been 2 years since we went clothes shopping and everything was faded and shrunken. 

We literally updated his wardrobe by purchasing the EXACT same clothes in today’s versions. Black polos are a bit longer now and blue shorts are a tad shorter. We are the same people. 

What did I buy? Nothing. Why? I’m a ninja.

I live in a black moby wrap on top of a Target black tank and Old Navy black maxi skirt that is super pilly. Chris said I need an attachment for a sword. 

I’ll buy some clothes in about 17 pounds. Yay.

      LOL, thank you Andrea. I like to think of myself like one of those silk rope hanging performers when I unravel out of that moby wrap. A good imaginations makes it fun.

    But you look great in a maxi!!! Don’t sweat the pounds girl – you should have at least one piece that you feel beautiful in.

      Thanks, Ashley! I have a few things that fit that I can easily breastfeed in and I’m saving them for some outings this weekend. 🙂 I really do have a limited wardrobe and I kind of enjoy another area of minimalism in my life….but, hey, I can’t wait to treat myself to some cute clothes in the future!!!

      Thank you, Rowena! I always thought black was not my color and I wear SO much white. Now, I’m trying to blend into the background! I may go toward cream though soon…spit up camouflage! 🙂

      Girl, I am too comfortable, Nicole! I now have a phobia of pants, heels and denim. Hopefully that will subside with the pounds! 🙂 We are sleeping more overall but there are those days! It’s a roller coaster. A really cute roller coaster with chubby cheeks.

    Awwww, hang in there girl! I had to still wear my maternity clothes for about a month after I had Taylor! Also, I am also a ninja! I just used that phrase to describe my style last night! For me it is a New York City thing. We all wear black head to toe year round. Sometimes I am colorful but for my daily 9-5 in Manhattan I wear all black errerythang. It is slimming and looks chic and streamlined. Hope you are feeling well! xo

      LOl. I totally love that about New York. I always love that Agelina Jolie-white or black only style. Tank tops have never flattered me but it’s too hot with the baby and the weather here so I must. 🙂 Ninjas forever! lol

🚩Save this for those overwhelming days when you 🚩Save this for those overwhelming days when you need a reset ↓

💫 These 3 micro habits made a real difference for me.

1. ❤️ ⚡️I have been practicing @heartmath ’s heart coherence exercise. A 90 second way to connect to your heart and get out of your head. Put your hand on your heart I like to close my eyes and start breathing into my heart space.  slow down your breath. Start to think of something or someone that you feel great gratitude for and focus on that feeling as you breathe into your heart space. Once I’m connected to that feeling of gratitude, I ask God to guide me in whatever area I’ve been overthinking. I get a really clear and simple answer and focus on that throughout the day.
Great technique I learned about through @the_human_design_coach 

It’s more about how to be and not all about what to do. 

2. ☀️I have loads of energy but only when I’m doing things that I’m excited about and that can include chores! I just have to spin it so it’s fun for me.

3. 🌖 Letting my menstrual cycle guide how I organize my energy through the month has been a huge permission slip and guiding light for when I need to rest, and when I am super creative or clearheaded for organizing.

I tried it.
It stressed me out. 🤣
Then I realized: I don’t need to “balance it all” daily.

I can store up joy and energy like a camel.🥰

Go big one day, go birth control robe or the park for the rest.

It’s an energy strategy.

That’s camel mom energy. 🐫
Anyone else relate?

My best friend from college (and the Navy) and I went to see Diana Krall downtown this week and it was a dream come true. I don’t go out too often but I enjoy this camel life.

Why I Stopped Pushing Through—and Started Syncing With My Cycle.
My energy changed a lot after 40.

I started noticing how often I was frustrated for being “off”—when really, my body was just in a different phase of its natural rhythm.

✨ When I gave myself permission to follow it instead of fight it, everything shifted.
Not just my productivity, but my peace.

Here’s what that looks like for me as a creative mom who still has big goals—but honors her energy instead of ignoring it:

🌑 Menstrual (Days 1–5)
→ Rest. Reflect. Retreat.
What I allow: Canceling the extras, cuddles, quiet meals, journaling, soft podcasts, total permission to be still.

🌱 Follicular (Days 6–13)
→ Fresh starts. Planning. Creativity.
What I lean into: New ideas, organizing, writing, dreaming up what’s next.

🌕 Ovulatory (Days 14–17)
→ Connection. Communication. Confidence.
What I schedule: Friend dates, family outings, big conversations, batch errands, showing up.

🍂 Luteal (Days 18–28)
→ Discernment. Deep work. Cozy nesting.
What I focus on: Prepping, cleaning, saying “no,” creating comfort, finishing strong before I rest.

—
Even in perimenopause or menopause, your energy has rhythm.
It’s not all in your head. It’s in your body—and it’s wise.
✨ You don’t need to be perfect. Just aware.
—
📌 Save this for when you want to check in with your body.

👇
Do you already notice these shifts in your month? Has this helped you trust yourself more?

🏃‍♀️ I was on such a fast track: Right ou 🏃‍♀️ I was on such a fast track:
Right out of college, I was headed to Naval flight school — and then just as quickly, I was kicked out for being too short to fly.

The very next day, I was driving from Pensacola to Newport, Rhode Island to learn how to drive ships and run engineering departments.

My whole life, I associated speed with ambition.
The faster I moved, the more successful I thought I was becoming.

But motherhood changed me.
It introduced me to a different kind of ambition — a quieter kind.
A kind of ambition that’s measured in presence, not promotions.

In how well I manage my energy, not how many tasks I check off-(I relearn this so many times and each time I get back on track quicker- 👋 Generators).

In the kind of role model I am becoming — not just what I am achieving.

Slowing down and living in my energy didn’t erase my ambition.
It refined it.

When I honor my energy,
there is still room for my personal dreams too.

Your kids won’t be little forever.
The woman you’re becoming will be with you for a lifetime.

Slowing down isn’t falling behind — it’s finally running your own race.

❤️ This if you’re learning how to live in tune with your energy — and still hold space for your dreams.

👇Your burnout type + cure.⛳Save this for when 👇Your burnout type + cure.⛳Save this for when you are at the end of your rope (or hopefully before). 

I asked ChatGPT Unhinged to decode mom burnout + the cure for each Human Design Type—and WOW. Every word hit like a cosmic slap AND a hug.

⚡Generator
🧨 Burnout: Saying yes to everything for your kids and the a lady you just met like it’s your job, crying in the Costco lot clutching an empty Starbucks cup like it holds the secrets of the universe
💡 Fix: If it doesn’t spark joy like fresh Target home decor, GTFO.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a holy no.”
⚡Manifesting Generator
🧨 Burnout: Half-finished everything. Full meltdown. Somehow still packing lunches and launching businesses.
💡 Fix: Pivot like a queen. You don’t owe anyone a tidy ending.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “Fast is fine. Unfinished is divine.”
⚡Manifestor
🧨 Burnout: Rage-texting in your head while fantasizing about faking your own disappearance.. Everyone wants updates. Rage levels = dragon-in-a-drive-thru when no one’s listening.
💡 Fix: Inform. Vanish. Return when your spark is back.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I don’t ask—I declare, then go take a nap.”
⚡Projector
🧨 Burnout: Giving TED Talks no one asked for. No one sees you. You Google “jobs for tired geniuses.”
💡 Fix: Wait to be chosen. Nap like it’s your side hustle.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I’m not for everyone—I’m for the invited few.”
⚡Reflector
🧨 Burnout: You’ve become everyone. Forgot yourself. Agreed to weird events you spiritually object to.
💡 Fix: Cleanse. Moonwatch. Yeet other people’s energy out.
🧘‍♀️ Mantra: “I am not your disco ball—I’m the moon.”

Don’t know your type? Comment TYPE and I’ll send you the link.
