ever leave someone you love feeling drained?


You know that sinking feeling when you leave time with someone you love and instead of feeling nourished, you feel… drained?

Believe it or not, that used to be me with my mom. I loved her so much, but I found myself either overextending or pulling away. Neither felt good.

But, Reader, one day I heard something that stuck with me:

You might think you have five years left with someone, but really you only have the number of moments you spend with them.

If you only see someone once a month for an hour, that’s 12 hours a year. If they live five more years, that’s just 60 hours total. Not even three full days.

That realization shook me awake.

It's what led me to start using the “No More Than / No Less Than” rhythms. Gentle boundaries that gave us enough connection without slipping into resentment or guilt.

I didn’t know it at the time, but I was protecting my energy without closing my heart.

And Reader, I’m endlessly grateful that I did. My mom passed away just two years later, and while I wish I had more time, the weight of “I should have” isn’t so heavy. I carry memories of moments that felt whole.

That’s the gift of boundaries done with love: they give you presence instead of regret. And it’s exactly what I want for you, too.


✨ That’s why I’m sharing the Soul-Shift Sacred Boundaries Workbook with you this week.

It’s filled with journaling prompts and a simple step-by-step map to help you:
notice what’s working in your relationships
spot the hidden drains on your energy
create rhythms that feel nourishing for both you and them

Sometimes the first act of boundary-setting isn’t saying “no” at all. It’s saying “yes” to the rhythm that keeps you whole.

And if you want more support applying it, you don’t have to do it alone:


Or, join any of the group sessions below. Each one offers a space to pause, release, and reconnect to what feels real.

JUST FOR YOU:

Your weekly guidance reading

For this week's guidance reading, I'm using Kyle Gray's Angel Guide Oracle Deck with a direct translation from the guidebook. If you have a question, feel free to pause and focus on it. Then, look at the stack of cards below and choose one you feel has your reading. Or you can also combine the messages of all three cards and let that be your guidance.

As always, take what resonates and leave the rest behind. ​I'd love to hear which reading made sense with your current energy, Reader. So be sure to reply and let me know.



Yellow Citrine Weekly Guidance

Ask and Receive

Your Message: Ask and you shall receive. Your angel guide wants you to know that help is available. You are being encouraged to shift your perceptions and recognize that even in the most difficult of circumstances, a miracle is possible. Whatever miracle you need, it is available to you now. Your angel guide is encouraging you to recognize that you may have been blocking support by saying no to the things you wanted to say yes to, and asking you to change that now. When you begin to say yes to the experiences that light you up, you usher increased levels of support into your life.

Extended Message: You may feel that your prayers aren’t being heard, but this isn’t true. Angels have heard you and are suggesting you take time to assess where in your work or relationships you may be creating barriers to success. When you are open to seeing and doing things differently, you will experience the answers and miracles you need. You are being encouraged to pray from a space of gratitude now. When you focus on what you are grateful for, you align your energy with the miraculous. Heaven is encouraging you to welcome support in all areas of your life.


Peacock Ore Weekly Guidance

Do the Work

Your Message: This card doesn’t represent the plan that God has for your life, more the plan that comes to fruition based on your intentions and your highest good. You have been given the incredible gift of free will and therefore your thoughts, deeds, actions, and intentions are in some way going out into the universe and curating the experiences, opportunities, and energies that are flowing in and out of your life. When this card appears, you are being encouraged to move into a state of surrender, where you recognize that yes, your intentions have an impact on the creation of your life, but how those intentions unfold is not down to you, but in the hands of God. The divine plan is your intentions unfolding in a way that God/the universe feels is for your growth and highest good. Know that every experience you have been through in your life has been a way‐marker on your journey towards growth and expansion. And your angels are acknowledging your growth now.

Extended Message: If you are trying to force a plan into action, the angelic guidance is to back down and trust in the greater good. Often when something isn’t happening for us, we’re frustrated, but that’s only because we don’t see that our “perfect plan” is unfolding. When your ideas or plans go wrong, trust that the universe has a greater plan for you. And that greater plan isn’t something that has already been chosen for you, it’s more of a culmination of all of your life’s intentions, prayers, and actions washing back toward you with opportunities and experiences.Call on your angels to light up the path ahead. You may feel that you are facing the unknown, but know that you are always guided and protected.


Snow Quartz Weekly Guidance

Manifestation

Your Message: Manifestation is the ability to bring our thoughts, dreams, and intentions into reality. The spiritual law of manifestation helps us create, from deep within, energies and experiences that lead us toward greater fulfillment and purpose. You are blessed to have received this angel card today, for it encourages you to recognize your power. You are a master of manifestation and whenever you focus on something, with loving thoughts and the best intentions, you bring that dream into reality. If you are working on bringing something to fruition at this time, whether that be a project, an opportunity, or even a miracle, this card lets you know that it is unfolding before your eyes. It’s very important to stay elevated at this time and focus on positive energy, blessings, and the positive events that are happening around you, as you are magnetizing even more blessings into your world.

Extended Message: You are one with the universe at this time and have the ability to manifest incredible experiences and opportunities. You are being encouraged to understand that any new opportunities arising will allow you to step up and move forward in your life. Your energy is aligned with pure potential and it’s important to know that everything you focus on now is going to grow, adapt, and expand in line with your energy field. Your angels are encouraging you to be open and receptive, as the universe is offering you the guidance, abundance, support, and healing you require, based on your current situation. Recognize the incredible gifts and support that are available to you now. The power of the universe is within you!


As always only take what feels right in your heart and soul and leave the rest behind. I’d love to hear which message spoke to you, Reader. Feel free to reply and share. If you want a personalized session to clarify stuck energy, recharge, or breathe through a life shift, I’d love to hold space for you.


Sending lots of love your way,

— Francisca Hernandez

I've been a little quiet in your inbox lately, Reader. Not because I’ve forgotten you, but because I’ve been working behind the scenes on something that feels really special. Here’s what happened… One client asked me if I’d ever thought about training others to teach breathwork.The next day, two more asked.And then another. By the fourth ask, I knew this wasn’t coincidence. It was synchronicity. The universe doubling down. Truth is, I’d already been playing with the idea for quite some time....

I had a client recently who came in completely exhausted. She’d hit her limit, emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward. But she remembered she had one breathwork session left on her package… and she used it. Afterward, she said,“I forgot how powerful this is. I feel lighter, clearer, and like myself again. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.” And honestly, Reader? I felt a little jealous of her in that moment, because I know how good it feels to just stop, reconnect with...

A while back I shared the Perspective Wheel with you, Reader. It's the same tool I use with clients when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next. And honestly, it’s one of my go-to tools when I feel the same. It helps me when I'm standing at the edge of a decision, torn between holding on or walking away. Neither feels good. Still, something inside whispers... it's time for a shift. You know that feeling, right?That tug of “I’ve come this far.”That fear of “What happens if I...
