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 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’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’s be real—modern life is a lot. Between the constant pings of your phone, overflowing to-do lists, endless responsibilities, and the pressure to keep it all together, it’s no wonder so many of us are walking around with tight shoulders and tired souls. As someone who used to believe I could outwork or out-achieve my stress,…
Let’s talk about fear. Not the horror-movie kind or the “what was that noise outside my yurt?” kind. I’m talking about the subtle, sneaky kind that shows up as doubt, hesitation, procrastination… or that gut-punch feeling that whispers, “What if I fail?” I know that fear well. I’ve felt it when I recently stood in front…
