As the calendar turns and we stand on the threshold of 2026, many of us feel that familiar pressure to "resolve." Usually, these resolutions sound like a list of chores or a penance: Stop eating sweets. Cut out soda. Wake up at 5:00 AM for the treadmill.   We start the year by focusing on what we want to take away or what difficult lifestyle changes we need to endure. While wanting to improve is admirable, is a "proclamation of deprivation" really the best way to start a new

For those of you who have been following my journey, you know the last few years have been dedicated to researching and writing my manuscript, Ignite Your Life's Purpose . This book is a labor of love, a guide rooted in the conviction that women stepping forward as compassionate, self-guided leaders can transform our world.   Right now, the manuscript is in the hands of several literary agents—a nerve-wracking but exciting phase that feels like waiting for the universe to ali

We’ve all felt the weight of it: the unspoken, often self-imposed, expectations in friendship.   You get a text from a friend about a tough day, and immediately your internal to-do list spirals: I must respond immediately. I must know exactly what to say. I must offer a solution. I must be the rock.   For some, this challenge triggers an internal perfectionist to take the reins, driving them to try and be the perfect friend in every scenario. For others, the perceived monumen

As the leaves turn their glorious colors and the scent of cinnamon and woodsmoke fills the air, we are officially ushering in the season of gratitude. This time of year, with its traditional feasts and family gatherings, has a beautiful way of slowing us down—even just for a moment—to remind us to be profoundly thankful for all of the blessings in our lives.   It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle: the perfect recipe, the travel logistics, the endless to-do list. But I inv

Have you ever heard someone say, "I'm in midlife," as if it's a fixed age or a stage you simply arrive at? When it comes to my retreats and workshops, I am often asked, “ I'm XX old, will I fit in? ” While society often places a numerical bracket around this phase of life, I see it profoundly differently. To me, midlife is not an age—it's an eagerness for more. It's the desire for significance, not a number.   It’s a level of life experience coupled with a burning desire fo

I remember my first time stepping onto a stage a few years ago. The stage itself was small, but the house was packed! A mix of pure excitement and sheer terror pulsed through me. I worried about the short heels I wore, mentally charting a course to avoid a dramatic trip and topple. I had a 10-minute talk memorized, and I wondered: Would I remember all the good parts? Would I leave anything important out? Would I start to ugly-cry during the tough spot?   The truth is, these
