Hi Reader, There are seasons when it all just feels like too much.Too many decisions. Too many demands. Too many tiny things to remember.And somehow, yet again, you’re the one holding it all. Whether it’s back-to-school prep, a big work project, or just the mental weight of being the default everything, this time of year has a way of turning up the pressure. We’ve been talking a lot about that lately. Not just the overwhelm itself, but the systems, habits, and mindset shifts that actually...

Hi Reader, I used to think that I needed a “day off” or “just more hours in my day” to feel like I could catch my breath. And (I’m guessing that like you), that really never happens.But, I’ve realized that my peace actually comes from how I use the space I already have. For example, my daily walk home after dropping my daughter off at school used to be filled with phone calls and podcasts.Now? It's a quiet time that I claim as mine.Let’s call it a margin moment.And having that time, and using...

Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot about time. How we spend it. How we protect it. How easy it is to fill it without meaning to. Last week, I shared that we lost my brother-in-law, Mark. In the time since, I’ve witnessed the incredible ripple effect of a life lived with presence and intention. Mark knew what mattered. He poured into his people. And the love that came back to him in those final days was a reflection of that. It has me looking closely at how I’m living, too. Where am I...

Hi Reader, Before I get into this week's newsletter, I wanted to share some personal news. On Sunday, my brother-in-law Mark, passed after a 2 year battle with Stage IV Colorectal Cancer. We are heartbroken to no longer have his presence in our lives, but are so thankful that his fight and suffering is over. The topic of today's newsletter and the podcast this week is Relationships. And I want to take a minute to honor Mark and just say how timely I think this topic is. Relationships were...

Hi Reader, Before we get into it today, I wanted to remind all of our local South Florida friends that tonight is our July Monthly Reset.

Hey Reader, Do you ever find yourself losing it over something small, then wondering, “Uhhhh, what just happened?” Sadie and I have both been there. That’s actually how this week’s conversation started on the podcast: with a story about sunglasses, a slammed door, and very big feelings that didn’t make sense…until they did. Here’s what we’ve both learned on our journeys (the hard way): Most of us were never taught how to really feel our emotions, let alone understand them. We’re taught to...

Hey Reader, Have you ever confused approval with love? Think about that for a moment. That’s a big question. If we're honest, I think most of us have, at some point. We’re taught to be good, impressive, selfless, pleasing. We earn gold stars and praise and think, this must be love. But what if it’s not? This week’s podcast conversation is one we’re still thinking about and honestly, a message we think a lot of women need to hear. Ashley Jordan, lawyer, journalist and author of Unhappy...

Hey Reader, At some point, most of us start to feel a quiet discomfort…A sense that the life we’re living doesn’t quite match who we are.But it can be hard to name what’s wrong because on paper, things seem fine. In this week’s Life Intended podcast, Sadie and I are unpacking something that sits at the root of that feeling: identity. We’re talking about: – The early labels we absorb (“the good one,” “the strong one,” “the achiever”) – The ways we wear masks to fit into roles that were never...

Hey Reader, Awaken starts this week and we couldn’t imagine a more aligned time to kick it off. Because let’s be real. Most women, like us, don’t need more information. They need more space to integrate what they are learning, more support to process it and more courage to live it. And this is exactly the kind of experience we’re creating inside Awaken. Awaken is not an information download. It is a 6-week guided journey for women who are juggling a multitude of roles in their lives, and who...
