Happy Love Month, Goddesses
Lately, I’ve been moving.
Physically. Emotionally. Energetically.
A lot of travel. A lot of saying yes to things, only knowing they felt right for me.
None of it has followed a neat timeline. There hasn’t been a clean plan or a clear sequence. And still, it all feels connected to those many vision boards I have created over the years.
What it feels like, honestly, is living in two timelines at once. One rooted in responsibility, structure, and commitments that I care deeply about. And another that keeps unfolding through intuition, movement, and unexpected opportunities. Some days, that feels energizing. Some days it feels like a lot. Right now I feel like a lot.
So I’m asking for a little grace as I move through this season, as I juggle, recalibrate, and listen for what’s next while still tending to what already exists. I’m learning that alignment doesn’t always arrive with clarity first. Sometimes it reveals itself while you’re already in motion.
Thank you for your patience with me as I hopefully pave the way for all of you.
Supervision Reminder
I want to share a quick reminder that came up after a phone call with the Board this past week.
For a month of supervision to count, the Board requires a full 4 hours of supervision within that calendar month. If you anticipate that you may not be able to meet the 4-hour requirement in a given month, it’s important that you reach out to me as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the end of the month or after the fact.
My goal is always to support you in staying on track and avoiding unnecessary stress or complications later. Please don’t hesitate to communicate early so we can problem-solve together.
Current Goddesses: the February supervision calendar is attached for your reference. Please continue sending me the dates you plan to attend, just as you’ve been doing.

Alumni Spotlight
We want to celebrate Kelli Hanna, LICSW, who passed her clinical exam last month! This is such a meaningful milestone, and we are so proud of the dedication and perseverance she brought to her licensure journey.
We are currently coordinating dates for Kelli to return and talk with the Goddesses about her clinical testing experience. Once details are confirmed, we’ll be sure to share them so you can join us in learning from her path.
