You just came home from a women’s retreat. You’re glowing, lighter, clearer. Your nervous system is finally calm, your sleep is solid, your energy feels spacious-and you’re thinking: Can I bottle this up and take it with me forever? First of all-YES. That feeling you cultivated on retreat didn’t come from the lavender-scented pillows or the…
How many times have you come home from a “vacation” more exhausted than when you left? You know the kind. You pack everything-emotionally and literally-trying to make everyone else happy, cram in 10 activities a day, live out of a suitcase, and then need a nap when you get back. And don’t get me started…
Most women I meet are operating in survival mode. Running households, managing careers, tending to relationships, keeping the pets alive, maybe even parenting or caregiving (or both)- and somewhere in that chaos, we’re supposed to find time to work out, meditate, and get 8 hours of sleep? Cute idea. The truth is, modern life wasn’t built with women’s…
I just got back from a total dream trip. A Twilight fan-girl-level, bucket-list, squeal-worthy adventure. Yes, I said Twilight. Like Bella, Edward, and the sparkly vampire crew Twilight. And yes, I dragged my daughters with me. And no, I don’t regret it one bit nor care if you judge me for it. We stayed in the actual…
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I just need a break,” this one’s for you. I work with a lot of women-moms, entrepreneurs, corporate warriors, caretakers-who are doing ALL the things. And by the time they finally carve out space to come on one of our women stress reduction retreats, they’re running on fumes. I…
Let me tell you something fresh off the heels of a 3-day conference where I was just an attendee (not the speaker, not the host-just me, sitting in the room with a notebook and an open heart) There is serious power in paying to be in the room. I felt it. I still feel it. Something magical happens…
Let me guess. You’ve been lighting your eucalyptus candle, throwing on a face mask, maybe even doing a little journaling (before the kids bang on the bathroom door asking what’s for dinner). You call it Self-Care Sunday and you’re proud of yourself for carving out that tiny bit of time. And girl, I love that for you.…
Let me be real with you: this year cracked me wide open. If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I talk a lot about mindset, growth, and showing up fully for your life. But life has a way of throwing curveballs that test every ounce of your strength-and make you practice what you…
Let me just say it plainly: if you’ve been fantasizing about running away to a cabin in the woods (or a beach with a hammock and zero responsibilities), you’re not crazy—you’re probably overdue for a serious reset. Too many women wait until they’re completely depleted before they give themselves permission to rest. I know because…
Let me start with something you need to hear:You are NOT lazy. You’re not broken.You’re not failing.You’re burnt the hell out. And friend, there’s a huge difference. I’ve seen it over and over again—women (especially in midlife) blaming themselves for needing a nap, snapping at their partners, or feeling uninspired at work. We say things like,…
