Your Holidays (and Life) Don’t Have to Look Like They Used To

Hey there, Reader! The holidays are here, and with them comes the familiar pressure to make everything just right. You know the drill—family traditions, holiday magic, trying to live up to a million “shoulds” to create the perfect season. But here's what I've been learning (and relearning): ✨ Holding on too tightly to what was can keep us from finding joy in what is. ✨ Sometimes we avoid things that feel too painful, thinking it’ll protect us. ✨ Other times, we cling so hard to the past that...

When your day is total garbage… do this.

Hey there, Reader! You know those days where everything feels like a dumpster fire? Your to-do list is staring at you, mocking you. You’re stuck, maybe even paralyzed. You want to do something, but your brain is like, “Nope, not today, friend.” Here’s the truth: doing something is what leads to doing something. Let me tell you about my ritual for those crap days when I don’t want to do a single productive thing: I go for a walk.Rain, shine, snow, or soul-crushing humidity, I walk. No, I’m not...

You and a friend. Clarity and coffee. Let’s do this.

Hey there, Reader! What if, just for a second, you stopped spinning your wheels and actually got clear on what’s next? Not tomorrow. Not next year. THIS SATURDAY. Here’s the deal: On December 7 at 8:00 AM PST, I’m hosting a live workshop: Your Next Right Step: Journaling for Calm, Confidence, & Clarity Because it’s Cyber Monday, there’s a juicy twist: buy one ticket, get one free. That means you can bring your bestie, your partner, or someone else who needs this just as much as you. Here’s...
Ask yourself: What's one small shift I can make?

What could one small shift do for you?

Hey there, Reader! Let’s get real for a second. You’ve been through it. Life’s thrown you curveballs you didn’t ask for—loss, change, maybe even heartbreak. It’s left you feeling like you’re stuck in a loop you can’t quite break free from. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve started to wonder if this is it. But then, there’s that whisper. “There’s more for me.” More joy. More strength. More you. And here’s what I want you to know: That whisper? It’s not lying to you. It’s not false hope. It’s the...

How to Find Joy Again—Even When Life’s Been a Mess

Hey there, Reader! I’ve been asked this question three times just this week. Three times! Sure, the wording was a bit different each time, but the heart of it stayed the same. And with the holiday season coming up—when we all feel the tug of joy and connection—you might be wondering the exact same thing: 👉 how do i find joy in life again after going through hard times? First of all, if you're wondering this, take a deep breath and give yourself a big, compassionate hug. Life’s tough moments...

Your Voice Matters – Help Shape What’s Next!

Hey there, Reader! As we wrap up 2024 (58 days left in the year 🫣), I’ve been reflecting on everything we’ve tackled together this year. Life can hit hard, and I know how important it is to have the right support when it does. To make sure I'm creating resources, tools, and content that resonate with where you are right now, I’ve put together a quick survey. This is your chance to let me know what matters most to you, where you feel stuck, and what you’d like to learn or experience in the...

Overwhelm Isn’t a Sign of Failure—It’s a Call for Change

Hey there, Reader! Overwhelm started creeping in this past week as I got back to my routines following my trip to Tahoe. I reminded myself that I’m not available for overwhelm, and I quickly looked at my schedule and removed anything that didn’t need to be on it. If anything new came in for the last week, it was a no for me. Overwhelm and the power of no Life has a way of piling things on, especially when we’re already juggling grief, transitions, or big changes. But here’s the truth:...

POV: You’re struggling to heal, then you find a message in everyday symbols…

Hey there, Reader! The other day on my morning walk, I spotted some vibrant pink roses. My Nana loved roses, and whenever I see them, I don’t just think of her—I feel her presence with me. You don’t have to believe in anything specific to feel the presence of someone who’s no longer here. People leave their mark on us, and that mark stays long after they’re physically gone. So much of how I show up and treat others is thanks to my Nana. I feel lucky everyday to have had her influence in my...

Conquer Challenges with My Top Strategies!

Hey there, Reader! This past weekend, I climbed the vertical feet equivalent to Mount Everest—29,029 feet. I did this with 29029 Everesting in Whistler, BC. When you “reach Everest,” you earn a red hat. This is the fifth red hat I’ve earned with them since 2021. People often ask why I keep climbing. There are a few reasons. At 16, I lost the ability to walk, and for a time, I didn’t know if I’d be permanently paralyzed. Feeling eventually returned to my right leg, but it took more than a year...
