Your turn: tell me what you think!
I'm coming up on three whole months on Substack - I'd love your thoughts.
Hi readers,
Over these last three months, you’ve heard a lot from me - three times a week, every week. That’s a lot of inbox real estate!
I staked out this little corner of internet with the intention of bringing some of the same yoga practices, guided meditations, and recipes that my coaching clients receive from me to more people - and, to be fully transparent, as a way to ensure personal accountability for actually building out that library.
Along the way, I’ve found great joy in casting off the tiny little text boxes of those other online spaces in favor of more expansive expression. If you hang out on the Well Rooted Being page these days, you’re likely to see some (maybe) surprising odds and ends: photos from the farm, reflections on body image and teenage angst, little love notes to my corner of West Virginia. I am amazed and grateful that y’all have stuck with me as I continue to find my voice and share my story on this platform.
I have a few changes planned for December, but before we get there I’d love to take a moment - in keeping with this week’s throat chakra theme - to give you an opportunity to do the talking! I’d genuinely love to know what you find valuable here - and how often you’d prefer to receive these emails. You can let me know via the poll below - or simply leave a comment!
In the event you need to clear your throat in advance of Thanksgiving dinner, this week’s meditation practice is a 13-minute yoga nidra for the throat chakra.
Note: you may also have noticed a “bonus” re-mail of November 17th’s sequence for the heart chakra yesterday - an accident as I was doing some housekeeping, but perhaps we can all use a little heart-opening before gathering around the holiday table Thursday? Let’s call it kismet.
Be well,
Havala

The mix of farm snapshots, reflections, and personal stories is exactly what makes your writing feel so alive.
