February - A month of Love!
Check out what's happening in February!
Hey Trooper!
Over the last few months I have been reformatting and adjusting this space to feel more like home, and with that comes some structure. As a neuro-spicy girl, I really love a system and some direction. So welcome to the more intentional side of The Nood Troop!
As I have navigated my own body liberation journey, I realized something important:
✨ Growth doesn’t happen randomly.
✨ Healing doesn’t happen all at once.
✨ And confidence isn’t built from one big moment, it’s built from layers.
So starting now, The Nood Troop is moving into a monthly theme + pillar system.
Each month, we’ll anchor into one embodied theme, something you can feel in your body, not just understand in your head. And within that theme, everything we do will align.
Here’s what that looks like:
• A guiding theme - think: a month of love, coming home to your body, taking up space, style & identity, sensuality, integration, etc. Each month will be different!
• An educational focus - often with a specialist or guest who brings wisdom from therapy, movement, creativity, pleasure, or lived experience. These will be both live and pre-recorded!
• A selfie challenge - that matches the theme! These will be part of a larger selfie challenge that will happen throughout the year!
• A virtual editing lesson - that supports the story you’re telling - light, color, texture, detail, mood that fits within the monthly theme.
• Community moments - conversations, reflections, sometimes in-person magic, mini sessions, volunteer opportunities, pop up events and so much more =)
• A virtual monthly badge - A marker that screams “I was here. I did the work!”
It’s about letting one idea soak in long enough to change how you move through your life. Some months will feel soft. Some will feel playful. Some might feel spicy or stretchy or deeply grounding. The cool thing…you don’t have to do ANYTHING perfectly. You don’t have to show up every day. You just have to stay curious about yourself.
Let’s dive into what February has in store!
February Calendar! A Month Of Love!
The Focus:
February is all about the month of love…more specifically SELF LOVE!! Think of this month as a love letter to yourself, an exploration into the reclamation of who you are and where you’re going! We are courting ourselves, putting ourselves first and saying FUCK YES to things that make us feel better in our skin!
Events:
February 6th-7th: V-Day Mini Sessions

If you have wanted to dip your toe into the spicy image world before you commit to a full session, this is your chance to do so! Not only do you walk away with 10 polaroids, you also get to select your 2 favorite digitals and it will all be delivered before Valentine’s Day. Do this as a self love gift to yourself!
