Hi Reader, You know that feeling when you're working on something and feel completely energized, like you could keep going for hours? And then there are those other things you do that leave you feeling drained, heavy, and unmotivated. That’s not a coincidence. Your energy isn’t just about how much sleep you got or how much coffee you drank, it’s deeply connected to what you’re doing, who you’re around, and how you spend your time. And if we want to live intentionally, we have to start paying...

Hi Reader, The clocks have changed. The days are stretching longer. Spring is just around the corner. This time of year always feels like an exciting shift. There's more sunlight, the air smells brighter and the world is stretching towards the sun. Nature is waking up. These changes that have become so familiar to us over our lives are a reminder that growth is natural, but also that it happens in seasons. And just because the earth is moving into spring doesn’t mean we all feel like we’re in...

Hi Reader, Last Friday, I sat in a room full of women as Bobbi Brown (yes, that Bobbi Brown!) received the Style Icon Award at Dress for Success of the Palm Beaches. You might expect a polished, scripted acceptance speech for an award like that. But instead, Bobbi took the stage, sat down, and had a conversation. She was asked about her career pivots, leaving her namesake brand, and what she’s learned along the way. And then she said something that stuck with me: "I DO know what my impact has...

Hi Reader, This weekend, we lose an hour. One small shift, and suddenly, our schedules feel off, our bodies feel sluggish, and our sense of time feels disoriented. If one hour can cause this much disruption, maybe it's time to rethink more than the clock, huh? Most of us are running on borrowed time. We're sacrificing rest, energy, and personal priorities because we feel like there’s never enough. But what if the problem isn’t time itself, but how we’ve been taught to use it? We’ve absorbed...

Hi Reader, Most people are waiting. Waiting for clarity.Waiting for the right time.Waiting for someone else to make the call. But here’s the truth: No one is coming to tell you what to do next. And that’s the best news you’ll hear all day. One thing you're going to hear me start to talk about a lot more is self-leadership. What is self-leadership and why does it matter? Let me tell you. Self-leadership is about choice. It’s realizing that no one is going to come save you, give you...

Hey Reader! Over the past few weeks, Sadie and I have been doing some really deep work on the vision and mission for our rebrand of Life Intended. One of the most exciting (and honestly, clarifying) parts of this process has been defining our core values. And not just what we value as individuals, but the values that Life Intended will stand for as a brand and community. I've done work on helping people and businesses identify their values for the past 10+ years and going through this process...

Hey Reader! In our constant journey toward a balanced life, we often focus on the "big" areas: career, relationships, health, and finances. Don't get me wrong, those are important. But what about having fun? What about joy? That spark of lightness, playfulness, and fun that makes life feel fun and you feel alive? In our upcoming The Balanced Life coaching program, Sadie and I dive into the neglected but essential theme of Joy & Fun. Our week of Joy is all about reconnecting with the things...

Hey Reader, Balance. Presence. Being where your feet are. That sounds good, right? That’s some version of what we’re all working towards, isn’t it? Sunday, at a goal-setting workshop I attended called Activate, I was struck by two very different perspectives from two incredible women. One shared that she’s working on compartmentalizing her life—being a business owner, her role as a mom, her marriage—so she can be fully present in each area. Instead of letting it all blend together, she’s...

Reader, Have you ever felt that subtle pull in a certain direction or a quiet voice within urging you to take—or avoid—a step? That’s your intuition. It’s the inner compass we all have, yet so often ignore in favor of logic, noise, or the opinions of others. During the last Women’s Circle I co-facilitated with Sadie Wackett, we spent time reflecting on our knowing, our intuition, and the decisions we’ve made—both when we’ve listened to it and when we haven’t. In that reflection, I had a...
