Why do you share your calendar link for a discovery call is you have no available dates all of this year?

What you share resonates with me and I need help but to see nothing available on the link you share is disheartening & frustrating.

Hi, Gretchen! I am so sorry for this, I will update the link in the next 1-2 days. I usually open slots 1 month or so in advance but I will have a surgery in 10 days and haven’t opened any slots because I am not sure how the recovery will go. I will message you once the link is updated 🙏 thank you for your understanding

I loved every statement you did here! Exactly how I live minus not being a mother just yet! Thank you for writing and sharing this piece.

I love this and your whole philosophy Karina! Seriously more people should emphasize balance and listening to your body. For far too long that’s been the opposite of what people are sharing!

Thank you, Grace! I’m happy to hear this resonated with you!

I just can't decide which part of this post I love more! So grounded. So reasonable. And it completely resonates with me. I especially love that you acknowledge that we are all a work in progress and putting into practice what we know "intellectually". And, I too have learned the power of "NO", which is a complete and grammatically correct sentence (an English teacher told me that!).

Thank you, Christine! Your feedback and insights always mean so much to me, and I am glad you resonated with this so much! 💛 I love what you said about “no,” it really is a complete sentence, without being followed by any excuses or justifications. :D
