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,…
Let’s just get real for a second: if one more person tells you to “just take a bubble bath and practice self-care,” you might scream. 🙃 Because for most of us midlife women, the idea of “self-care” has been watered down into 10-minute meditations, expensive eye creams, and trying to squeeze in a yoga class…
Raise your hand if you’ve ever said, “I’m fine,” while silently thinking, “I’m falling apart.” Yep. Been there. In fact, I built my entire retreat business because I’ve been there. For many of us women—especially in midlife—we’re juggling careers, relationships, hormones, laundry mountains, and let’s be honest, the occasional existential crisis… all while trying to keep a…
Let me just say it straight: If you’ve ever stared blankly at your calendar wondering how you’re supposed to keep all the balls in the air without throwing one at someone’s head, this post is for you. Because here’s what I know with my whole heart:Overwhelm is not a badge of honor. It’s a signal.And stress? It’s…
