For the women who keep life glued together — appointments, bills, emotions, all of it — this one’s for you.

Pretty please, advertisers… no more “women on the go.”
I’m in my park-it era.
My stop-drop-and-flop-it era.
Presence > panic. Rest > rush. 💛

#wackawackawednesday #RestisPowerful

This week’s Wacka Wacka reminder: you didn’t claw your way through burnout just to play small now.
Live wide open. Choose joy. Say yes to the magic your inner kid always believed in. 💛

#WackaWackaWednesday #MindfulLiving #SelfCompassion #BurnoutRecovery #YourGritandGrace

There's no reason we should have to "thrive in a fast-paced environment"...

Fake urgency isn’t leadership. It’s a burnout factory in a cheap Halloween costume.

Being still is the brilliance, babe. ✨ #Mindfulness #Burnout #YourGritAndGrace

Your future self is watching this version of you like a favorite movie — popcorn in hand, cheering for you to slow down and actually enjoy this scene.

You don’t have to rush to the plot twist. This moment? It’s part of the hurrah-journey, too. 💛

Affirmation of the week:
You’re what the French call… lucky AF. 😉✨

New series: Waka-Waka Wednesday.
Inspired by my dream spirit Muppet: Fozzie Bear 🐻🎤. A total hoot. Humor + inner kiddo joy + ditching burnout = badass muppet energy.

This week’s affirmation as we move from September to October ⬇️

The world’s a lot lately, so I’ve been clinging to joy: New Girl, Will & Grace, Bob’s Burgers (obviously).
My inner child sounds like Linda Belcher yelling at raccoons.
So here’s your unsolicited pep talk:
🎵 Gimme a Y! Gimme an O! Gimme a U!
Who’s amazing? YES IT’S YOU!! 🎵
Luv youuu 💛

Just wrapped co-leading a 21-day mindfulness challenge with IOSM while launching my biz. What I thought would help others ended up shifting me, too.

Some days, I crushed it. Other days? Back to square one.

🎤 Showed up with big Monday energy and some very unpolished vocals.
Because joy > pitch. And showing up > perfection.
Now excuse me while I break into some 80s classics like it’s my job. 😎

Grief isn’t weakness.
It’s love remembering.

“I allow my grief to speak—not as weakness, but as a reflection of what I held dear. It isn’t something to escape—it’s something to honor. And I meet it with compassion.”

Mother’s Day hits differently for everyone.
Whether you’re a mom, grieving one, longing to be, or not on that path—You matter.
There’s space for your story here. 💛

🌎 The Earth is on fire.
🧠 My brain is fried.
💚 My heart is tired.

I wrote something for the folks who feel like they’re carrying too much right now.

First blog post I’ve written in years—and it came straight from the nerves.

#EarthDay #Burnout #Mindfulness #NonGrasping

Woke up real sad and really missing people, so I did what anyone would do:

I fake-called the entire internet to sing to them.

If you're lonely today, you're not alone.

I love you. Really.

Friday For-Real Feels - Life gets lighter when you stop trying to micromanage the universe.

☔️ Rain will fall.
🚗 Traffic will traffic.
🙃 People will people.

Breathe. Focus on what you can shift.
Let the rest go—with love (or a good sigh).
