Every Monday, lately, I wake up with a plan.
What I want to get done. What I need to do. And those few things I have to do.
I start off pretty intentional, and I usually donât have trouble getting stuff done. But lately, thereâs this overall feeling of:Â Does any of this shit actually matter?
Especially when it comes to marketing.
So I lose my momentum. Then I find myself being inconsistent, especially with social media.
Then I ask myself:Â How do I expect anyone to find me and see the things Iâm writing and recording?
Thatâs when I get back into it, but with a lot of resistance.
I also notice this same reluctance to act like everything is normal in the world.
Because it is NOT.
No one wants to do the mundane work weâve been led to do. Or should I say forced to do.
We all have to eat, and even thatâs getting challenging for so many reasons.
But also because so much of it seems irrelevant. Almost stupid.
For example: a marketing job, figuring out how to get people to buy more stuff we donât n...
It's been a moment since I've been here writing.
I had a long stretch where I was hosting guests on the podcast, and I just didn't feel the need to sit down and write.
But I do miss it. Being able to share what's going on in my head and in my life and put it all on paper. First, because it's incredibly therapeutic. And second, because I hope some of you can relate and share the experience with me.
This week, I want to share a shift I'm making in my business.
The first thing is the podcast.
While I'll still focus on different self-care practices to help ease stress and burnout, the main focus will shift more toward changing your entire lifestyle to support your nervous system and your purpose.
Here's what I've learned in the last couple of years, from my own ongoing transformation and from interviewing various experts:
You can do all the self-care things you want. But if the lifestyle you're living doesn't shift along with it? Nothing really heals or changes.
It's just an ongoin...
 Let's go back a couple of years. A friend of mine was doing some work with the Aura app. She told me they were interested in health coaching content and asked if I'd be interested. I dove in and started creating content for the platform, but soon learned that the most sought-after content was meditations. And this piqued my interest.
I started listening to some of the meditations, and at the time, I could only do the really short ones, like three to five minutes. There was a lot of beginner content on Aura, so I had plenty to choose from. I found that I really enjoyed it, and it also helped with my anxiety and stress, which is a main focus of the work I do.
I dove into meditation, got a certification, and really started learning the different types of meditation that I like. I began making my own meditations and sharing them on the platform. This was the beginning of something I have grown to love. I love the writing, the creation process, I love finding the perfect music to add, I ...
There's a phrase I've been sitting with lately: "We are not the same people we were a year ago."
It's true, isn't it? None of us are. The world isn't either. And in that truth lies both our deepest fear and our greatest opportunity.
Transformation is one of those words we throw around a lot in wellness spaces. We talk about "transformational journeys" and "transformative experiences" as if change were something we could neatly package and schedule between 9 and 5. But real transformation? The kind that reshapes your bones and rewires your understanding of who you are? That kind rarely arrives with a warning.
Let's start with a simple truth:Â transformation is not the same as change.
Change is external. You change your hair, your job, your address. Change can happen in an instant and leave the core of y...
This is not a movement.
Itâs not a protest.
Itâs not a trend.
Itâs a practical return to something women have always done: organize life together in steady, reliable ways.
What follows is a clear, lawful path for any woman to start a small, long-term Circle, a structure of mutual care that can quietly grow into something enduring and powerful.
No permission required.
Â
You are not fighting broken systems.
You are withdrawing dependence from systems that no longer support women well, and reinvesting your time, care, and resources into each other.
Â
Power leaves quietly before anything collapses publicly.
Â
We are building Circles.
A Circl...
If youâre struggling with the classic âmenopause wake-upâ at 3 AM, youâre not alone. The hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause can completely disrupt our sleep architecture. Ever since I went from perimenopause into menopause, I have not been able to have a good night's sleep on a regular basis.
It usually goes like this, I sleep great one night, then the next night I'll fall asleep but then I'll wake up around 3 or 4 am and be up for the day. That day around 4 pm, I'm exhausted but force myself to stay up so I'll have a normal night's sleep. This cycle just continues. So, I just get a good night's sleep half the time. This is not going to work for me, so I've been doing a bunch of things that help. It's not perfect but it has been helping.

Most people begin the new year by trying to fix themselves.
New goals. New habits. New versions of who they think they should be.
But soulâaligned living doesnât begin with reinvention. It begins with remembering.
Remembering what your body already knows. Remembering what your nervous system has been asking for. Remembering who you are when youâre not performing, pushing, or proving.
This is an invitation to start the year differently. Not from pressure. Not from hustle. But from truth.
Tuning into my body and asking the question about all of my actions, how does this feel? Is this expansive/supportive or does this sap my energy?
This does not come naturally for me. I was raised by the generation that believes we always need to be doing something "Productive" All the time, every day. It's exhausting.
This work has to be really intentional, and I believe this can be the most supportive and beneficial work we can be doing for ourselves, and we should be doing this on a daily bas...
Every new year carries a little spark, a sense of possibility, a quiet invitation to start again.
But for those of us who feel the growing discomfort of staying the same, itâs more than a spark.
Itâs a lifeline.
If youâre standing at the threshold of a new chapter, tired of the old patterns, tired of pretending youâre not ready, this is your moment.
Not because the calendar says so, but because your inner world is done with the old chapter.
Why Real Change Happens From the Inside Out
New year resolutions fail when we try to upgrade our habits but leave our identity untouched.
If you want a true reset, true change, the kind that actually sticks, you have to shift the story underneath your choices:
⢠Who you think youâre allowed to be
⢠What you believe you deserve
⢠How safe you feel taking up space
⢠How much joy youâre willing to let in
⢠What version of you is quietly asking to be seen
This is the deeper work.
And itâs exactly why the new year can be such a powerful ene...
Thereâs a specific flavor of stuck that hits around this time of year.
Itâs that restless, buzzy, low-grade panic that says:
If I donât change something soon, Iâm going to lose my mind.
If thatâs you?
Good. That discomfort is your momentum.
Your soul is too big for the box youâve been living in.
And the new year is the perfect container, not because January magically resets anything, but because youâre mentally ready to stop negotiating with your potential.
Your Comfort Zone Isnât Safe, Itâs Just Familiar
We romanticize comfort like itâs security. Itâs not.
Comfort is a holding pattern.
Itâs the place you go when your nervous system is tired, overloaded, or afraid. Let's face it, this is where a lot of us are spending most of our time right now.
But comfort has a dark side:
Stay there too long and you start to shrink around your fears. Before you know it, your life is shrinking.
And if youâre reading this, youâre already too uncomfortable to stay where you are.
Youâre rea...
