So today I'm recording from my phone.

I used to do this a lot, actually, and I'm just getting back to it once in a while, but I'm

recording a life update.

Part of why I'm doing this, I'm actually staring out horses right now.

My mother and I are at a beautiful place.

It's called Grail Springs.

It's like a little spa, holistic wellness space.

Seeing a little chipmunk running by.

I hope it's a chipmunk and not a rat.

It's just so quiet here and beautiful.

It's actually near our cottage where I host my cottage intensive retreats where women come. We work one-on-one together. You get clarity and space.

And yeah, it's like part coaching, part retreat and connection and disconnection just to help you kind of get the vision on your next level.

And if you're interested about that, just go to Heather Shoveme.com forward slash I think it's retreat.

Anywho, life update. So I am coming to you today talking about all the things. I want to talk about guilt. I want to talk about feeling the guilt of feeling good, the guilt of taking care of yourself,

also the guilt of thriving, and also your privilege to thrive in a world that feels broken.

And this is also part of the reason why I wanted to record a

podcast like this, because it's very difficult for me to empathize and understand

where everybody is at in their lives. And when 2020 hit, or sorry,

2025 hit, and the political landscape changed, of course, we all globally felt a shift.

And there's conversation. And some people are very affected by that. Like on a personal level, it truly impacts their bank accounts. It impacts their pockets. It impacts their pockets. It impacts their safety and survival. And I don't take that

lightly. I do not take the lightness or the potential of people losing birth rights and

privileges.
