Happy New Year! I’ve been using January to ease myself back into this year. For me, the new year kinda kicks off in February, which I admit, is not typical. The way I approach the start of the year — and goal setting in general if I’m being honest — is completely counterproductive to what is shoved […]
What is your thing — THE THING— that you’ve wanted to do forever? Do you have this idea that has just been hanging out inside you for as long as you can remember, that you just haven’t acted on? Maybe it’s not an idea, maybe it’s a desire.Learning a new language.Taking a pole dancing class.Going […]
There’s this thing I do. I write reminders to myself on Post-It Notes. I’m not talking about what I need to grab at the store, or my to-do list. I write down badass notes to myself.Notes that reaffirm Greatness. Joy. Soul-stirring Adventure. Then I place them in the most random places, so when I least […]
‘How do you balance it all?’ Women get asked this question all the time. If you’re ambitious, high-achieving, are a wife and/or mother and look even remotely put together, people ask you this question as if you have some magic formula locked away. I won’t even get into why men aren’t asked this question. How […]

What is the difference between “good enough” and “good enough to rest?” Most of the women in my life suffer from some form of not good enough-ness. As women, we’ve been socialized from a very young age to not only distrust what our bodies & hearts are telling us but to also believe that who […]
Have you ever had a dream that was burning inside of you, but for some reason you couldn’t get it out? Maybe you were too busy or didn’t feel ready. Whether it was internal or external, something was always there preventing you from moving forward on your heart’s desire. I’ve been there.And I’ve been annoyed […]
Have you ever watched a kid throw a tantrum? I’ve had plenty of opportunities to witness a child meltdown, especially in the last couple of weeks. The beauty about children is that they instinctively know how to deal with stress and haven’t yet bought into the socialization that tells them to bottle their feelings up. […]
“If you can let go of passion and follow your curiosity, your curiosity just might lead you to your passion.”– Elizabeth Gilbert My theme for 2020 is “curious flow” which means that I want to take more time walking my talk where it comes to living an unapologetically joy-filled life. It means doing less of […]
Happy Holiday! Everyone and their mum is in a season of reflection — including me. But there’s something I’m thankful for this year that I believe is a FIRST for being on my “Year In Review” List. All the things I actually suck at doing. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with doing stuff even though I might […]
