Bevin: A Femme Over 40 and her Friends

Content Warning: Suicidal thoughts. Part of my mental health plan when I am feeling suicidal is to review how can I radically resource my wellness right now? How can I clear and drop everything that’s not benefitting my mental health? So I took an unplanned and unannounced break from podcasting. I'm back now, I'm doing way better and feel leveled up in my discernment and connection to the Divine....

It's a really cool platform with a lot of flexibility and resources. Here's much of what...

You've probably heard the saying that gossip is the thief of abundance and joy. I noticed in my early adulthood that friends I connected to through gossip ended up being untrustworthy. (If they'll do it with you they'll do it to you.) Because I wanted to level up my vibe and my association I got very clear about what gossip is versus what it is not, and set boundaries about the type of information...

Hopefully my story will help you create sovereignty...
