90-Sec Emotion Course, Little Heart Project, & Coding Camp

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader!​ ​

This week we're adding playwriting, cake baking, and volleyball to the schedule. I hope your summer is in full swing!

Feel

I've been working on my own 7-day email course for processing emotions in 90 seconds. Based on the research of Harvard neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, the method combines her research of the chemical reaction in our body lasting for 90 seconds with a physical anchor to bring awareness to your body. So half of your attention is on feeling the emotion while the other half is grounding you in the here and now.

If you'd like to give the 90-Second Dual Awareness Method a try, sign up for the emails here:

Change

We went to our town's festival the other day and among the insurance and dog-training booths found these crochet hearts with a powerful message. They're part of The Little Heart Project that started in Minnesota with a woman crocheting hearts to give to anyone struggling with mental health. They have an encouraging message and info to reach their organization and the National Suicide Hotline.

I love this project so much because sometimes it's small and easy but can have such an impact on helping others. It can be really hard to talk about mental health but this is a quiet but strong way to reach out. If you'd like to get involved, they have patterns and tags here!

Build

Everyone's building something at our house this summer: plays, courses, or video games. When I was looking into coding camps they were EXPENSIVE. So I decided with YouTube and the internet there was no way we couldn't create our own course.

And then I found www.freecodecamp.org! A free program even with certifications that has helped 100k graduates get jobs at tech companies. The lessons are serious but my middle-schooler says they are easy to follow if you really want to learn and focus. So if you've ever wanted to learn to code, here's your free chance!

What topic are you excited to explore most from this email? I'd love to know! Email me back anytime :)

Have a lovely day! - Kate

Founder of Feel Change Build

I'm here for women who are done apologizing for their emotions, asking permission to change, and building lives designed by committee. Your intensity isn't too much - it's your superpower. Your thoughts aren't broken - they're just protective patterns ready for revolution. Your dreams aren't too big - they're finally big enough.

Hello Reader! This week I'm exploring why self-care feels like such an obligation. Otherwise I'm trying to soak up the kids as much as possible before they go back to school in less than two weeks. So I only have one category but lots of thoughts on it. Feel My friends were discussing how much they hate the term ‘self-care.’ How it wasn’t realistic, they didn’t have time for it, it was too expensive, and it literally just becomes another to-do list item they don’t have the time or energy to...

Hello Reader! I've been exploring what inner wisdom means to me and in my research. We're also trying to enjoy the end of summer with evening pool parties and golf matches. And taking time to read for fun! Feel I've been struggling with the word wisdom lately. In my writing, I'm trying to describe that inner knowing. That intuition. That gut feeling. You know, wisdom 😂 But I don't like that word. And I can't figure out why. Maybe because I associate with the old mentor in movies like Mr....

Hello Reader! This week, we're exploring letting things go! Everything from past regrets to difficult people in our lives, I've been contemplating how much time and peace I get back when I say to myself, "What if this didn't matter to me?" This week has also been a time to catch up on summer with swimming, bike riding, and, of course, coding. We had a lovely trip to the mountains last week to visit family, but now's the time to live up the rest of summer! Feel I used my 90-second Dual...
