🪨 Birch and Stone Weekly Newsletter
Your Weekly Rewind is Here!
🌿 As another week comes to a close, we hope you'll take a moment to acknowledge the progress you've made—whether it felt big, small, or somewhere in between.
Thank you for bringing your honesty, encouragement, and presence to this community. Together, we're creating a space where growth is nurtured, connections are meaningful, and no one has to walk the journey alone.
Glimmers From This Week
As you reflect on the week, we'd love for you to consider:
💛 What is something you're proud of this week?
🌿 What is one way you honored your needs?
Progress doesn't always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it looks like trying again after a difficult day, setting a boundary, choosing rest, staying present, or extending compassion to yourself.
There has been so much bravery and sitting with feelings finding out that they do in fact pass. The measures we have been taking to avoid them are more painful than the emotions themselves. So much learning in these workshops. So much growth in the hearts and souls of our members!
Across our classes and conversations, we witnessed so many examples of courage, curiosity, and connection. Thank you for sharing your stories, wisdom, and authentic selves. We're grateful to be walking alongside one another, one gentle step at a time.
Our Week Ahead...
☀️ Momentum Mondays | YouTube • Mondays at 8:15 AM ET

EMOTIONAL SOBRIETY WITH EMILY B. /Wednesday/ JUNE 24 / 5:30 - 7:00 PM ET included for signature members or drop in!
Emotional sobriety is not the absence of emotion. It is the willingness to feel real emotion without emotionally intoxifying yourself with story, rumination, chaos, blame, or emotional rehearsal. If you've been:
- replaying converstions
- emotionally carrying everyone
- stuck in overwhelm, worry or resentment
- overreacting and then regretting it
- feeling emotionally exhausted by your own mind
this class will help you understand why and give you tools to respond differently.
