Yesterday I spent the day with a group of women I mostly didn't know.
We soaked in mineral springs in the middle of winter. We covered ourselves in clay and laughed until our faces hurt. We meditated. We talked. And somewhere in between all of that, someone said "I just needed to get off the merry-go-round" — and every single woman in the group nodded.
Not one of us was there by accident.
We were there because we'd each made a decision — quietly, maybe a little guiltily — that we were worth a day. Worth the money. Worth the time away from everything else that needed us.
That decision? That's where personal sustainability begins.
Not the recycling. Not the reusable bags. The moment you decide you're worth looking after.
Thank you to the beautiful Anna and Kelly at Nourish - Connect - Thrive for creating a space where that felt possible. And to my friend Alyona from Trident Gymnastics — fellow woman who carries a lot — for a day I won't forget.
