October came in hot, and so did 58!! If you have spent any amount of time with me, you know I love to celebrate my birthday (October 11th!) and this year was no different. Despite having just moved into a new place on October 1st, I decided to host a little soiree for myself—complete with a raucous group of friends, fire pit, laughs, great food, twerking, and tequila shots (yes, even though I don't drink much anymore, I indulged too!). I think everyone ought to go all out on their birthday. We are each unique miracles...what’s not to celebrate? Here are some things I continue to celebrate for as I careen into 58... If you are looking for an extra little pick-me-up, I have the perfect idea. You can invest in more joy, ‘cause y’all—the book is done!! Everyone who buys a copy will receive access to a free virtual meet-up (one per month, so there will be plenty of dates to choose from). Plus, folks will get access to lots of free extras like meditations, book recommendations, recipes, and more. I am so excited to share this work with you. If you want to phone a friend, have a great project you’re eager to discuss, or simply feel like saying hi, please [Book a call!] I would love to chat. Wishing you a fantastic weekend ahead, |

Hey all, Not sure about all of you, but 2026 is off to a thrilling start as I share the news that I am officially a published author. My first book, JOYHeals, What if it Could be Easy? poured out of me last March and when it did I realized the book became the guide I needed to better help people navigate the workshops I have been leading for the past several years. I had been teaching this work in a more "meta" style at local public workshops, women's leadership retreats across the country,...
Happy December! Somehow, this time of year finds many of us somewhere between feeling the rush of a new year and all we dream for ourselves, amidst the utter exhaustion of surviving 2025 (only a few more days to go!). It feels like a season of doing and resting. Planning and reflecting. Socializing and hibernating. Does that resonate with any of you? I know it does for many of my clients, colleagues, and now, I'd love to hear from you too! How does closing out 2025 feel? Energizing! I am...

Soon I was sobbing. I never heard the song before yet I knew it was meant for me to hear, in that very moment because I knew it was meant to be shared with all of...
