I’m so sick of the hustle mentality. It’s time someone called BS on the toxic “hustle culture” that’s burning us all out. You know the drill. Wake up at 5am, crush a protein shake, bang out a 5 mile run…and that’s just before your first meeting. The message is clear: If you’re not running yourself […]

I know you may have cringed with the subject line here but I’m watching so many of us fall apart at the seams and we need to have another chat about the importance of self-care. You might think it’s all bubble baths and spa days, but let’s face it — sometimes you just need to […]

I want to talk about something that might feel a little uncomfortable, but it’s a crucial part of the transformational journey. As you grow and change, other people may experience some pain as well. Here’s the hard truth: When you evolve, level up, and become the best version of yourself, it can be painful for […]

“Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it.“ I love this quote from Goethe because it doesn’t say “whatever you know you can do.” He says “whatever you think you can do” or “believe you can do.” Our beliefs shape our reality. […]

For centuries, women have been fed a damaging lie: that seeking joy, being joyful, and embodying joy is selfish. That it’s not our birthright. But I’m here to tell you that’s a bold-faced lie. And it’s time we rise up and reclaim our right to live joyful, fulfilling lives. We’ve been conditioned to put others […]

As a parent, I’ve often grappled with societal expectations of what it means to be “good enough.” In my case, being a good mom doesn’t mean being available 24/7. Don’t get me wrong – I’m there for my kids far more often than not. I’ve mastered the art of juggling, rearranging schedules, and making myself […]

We’ve all been there. On the receiving end of a “joke” that left us feeling a little less than entertained  – In the words of philosopher Taylor Swift “And we can all laugh until I cry.” A playful jab from a friend or loved that hit a bit too close to home. Teasing, masked as […]

Do you dream of a life that feels truly magical? One where your deepest desires manifest with ease, and joy overflows from every corner of your existence? Well, I’m here to tell you that this life is possible for you. But here’s the thing: you have to be the one to create it. Most of […]

For far too long, we’ve been sold a devastating lie: that joy is something to be earned, a reward for relentless hustle and sacrifice. This pervasive myth has us chasing an unattainable dream, leaving us drained and unfulfilled. But what if we could flip the script? What if embracing joy wasn’t selfish, but revolutionary? The […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Bridgerton Season 3 has taken the world by storm. The Regency-era drama, with its swoon-worthy dukes, scandalous gossip, and forbidden love affairs (not to mention delicious inclusivity and representation), has captured the hearts of millions. But this season is about more than love, sex, and […]
