Who Are You Growing Into This New Moon?

Published 9 months ago • 2 min read

For much of my life, I stayed small—people-pleasing, honoring others' needs before my own. But lately, I’ve noticed a shift. In moments where I once would have appeased, I’m now setting boundaries, speaking up, and taking the actions I need.

What once felt impossible, I now feel in my bones. This growth didn’t happen overnight—it’s been a slow becoming. This New Moon is a reminder to plant the seeds for the version of yourself you’re ready to grow into.

The New Moon in Cancer on Wednesday, June 25 is a powerful time to plant seeds—of creativity, of care, of who you're becoming.

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and this pairing invites us inward: to come home to our bodies, our truths, and what we care most deeply about. This is a potent time to plant creative seeds—not just by setting intentions in your mind, but by embodying them through movement, breath, and creating.

This moon cycle asks:
✨ What do you really care about?
✨ What deserves your care, your creativity, your belief?
✨ What version of yourself are you becoming—and how can you nurture that process?

This New Moon, choose care. Choose creativity. Choose the version of you that’s ready to grow, and trust the unfolding.

This is your invitation to believe in the possibilities and act on them-- with intention, with care, and with creativity.

Join me at TAOU on Wednesday, June 25 from 6–7:30 pm to set intentions with your breath, body, and hands. In this special class, we’ll move through a yoga, meditation, and handbuild clay intention vessels to carry what you're growing this moon cycle

How do you fill your cup? I just turned 33-- and the words that keep coming to mind: "I like who and how I am becoming". I entered a creative cocoon this past weekend at an artist retreat with inspiring women. We spent our days diving into our creative pursuits, embracing the magic of nature, sharing our talents, and nourishing each other through cooking, laughter, and dance. Going into this portal, I felt depleted. Life and the world continue to require more and more of all of us. Despite...
