When was the last time you actually put your feet up?

Not on the coffee table while answering texts, scrolling your phone or mentally reorganizing tomorrow.

I mean REALLY put your feet up.

Turns out, creating a little space to step away from everything you manage, solve, remember and keep moving can be pretty productive in its own right.

This was me last Saturday, and I can tell you...sitting on those rocks after dipping my feet in that cold water was exactly what I needed!

That's part of what Teshra and I have planned for Rise & Align this Saturday.

We're taking this Rising Soul workshop out of the usual meeting room and heading to a beautiful spot on the Moyie River, where we'll spend the day doing some meaningful work on where we are, what needs our attention, and how we want to move through the final months of 2026.

But we're also making room to enjoy where we are.

Fresh air. Good conversation. Feet in the river. A little breathing room from regular life.

Because sometimes the smartest way to regain momentum isn't to push harder.

It's to give yourself enough space to figure out where you're going next.

Come put your feet up with us. ❤️

A slice of new moon was the perfect end to this year’s birthday.

My favorite saying still holds true: age is a matter of the mind…if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

Maybe that’s because I truly don’t feel the age that my birthday certificate says I should be!

Here’s to another trip around the sun, with some grand adventures ahead…life is good. 🥂

The Pause.

This photo is from a couple of years ago but the feeling it evokes every time I see it, is timeless.

A moment I had to myself, in a place that brought peace to my soul. A pause I desperately needed and time I never regretted taking.

Rest. Refresh. Reset.

That is exactly what Teshra and I are offering at this month's Rise & Align event: a space of time for you to take for your soul, to rest, refresh and reset.

With a bonus: we're doing it at this exact location!!

We know summer is busy. We know you have a lot on your plate. We know your time is valuable.

But trust me, we've never had anyone leave a workshop feeling less than rejuvenated and I've never left this place feeling less than restored!

Think how great that's going to feel as you move into September, into the next busy season, filled with renewed momentum.

Ready? Here's the link to grab your seat at the river and get yourself realigned!

Sometimes you have to make space to pause intentionally.

Summer hits with its long days and even longer chore lists, making it easy to go non-stop from sunup to sundown without taking a break to breathe.

I’m guilty of this myself, and this morning, my body said stop for a minute or I’m stopping for you. 🫤

So I stopped. Coffee on the patio. Running the sprinkler (easy, mindless task). Going over my priorities. Catching my breath.

Feeling centered [again] feels good.

Sure, we can do busy all day long but doing our busyness at a mindful pace can really optimize our productivity. And protect our body.

Which, in midlife, is imperative…our energy levels aren’t always as consistent and our rebound time can take a little longer.

So, listen to your body and pace yourself—and your to-do list—realistically. You can still make the most of summer, but you’ll also feel a whole lot better at the end of the day!

One theme Teshra and I are passionate about is women supporting other women, whether it’s in our workshops, networking opportunities, or with the clients we serve.

Recently we realized that the “other women” we needed to support were OURSELVES! 🫢 She’s still recovering from an unexpected surgery and I’ve been pulling extra hours with unexpected work I’ve been blessed to do this summer.

So we decided pausing Rise & Align until August would serve to make sure we’re both seated in a space to give the best of ourselves to the women we hope to serve.

If you were planning on coming on the 25th, we apologize for the inconvenience…we’re coordinating schedules and will announce the new date as soon as possible.

Independence Day has me thinking about a different kind of freedom today.

Not the big, loud, fireworks version, although I do love those huge sparkles in the sky!

I’m thinking about the quieter kind of freedom women grow into over time.

❤️ The freedom to know yourself.

🤍 The freedom to stop apologizing for having needs, opinions, goals, boundaries, and a mind of your own.

💙 The freedom to say, “Actually, this doesn’t work for me anymore,” and not need a courtroom-level defense for why.

🎆 The freedom to build a life that feels more honest, more spacious, more grounded, and more fully yours.

That kind of independence does not always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it comes slowly, after hard seasons, wrong turns, brave decisions, and a few moments where you realize you are done shrinking yourself to keep life comfortable for everyone else.

I know that freedom well.
I also know it is worth celebrating.

So today, I’m grateful to live in a place where I can keep becoming, keep building, keep using my voice, keep creating my own way forward, and keep helping other women do the same.

Because a woman’s independence is not just about doing life alone.

It is about trusting herself enough to live a life that belongs to her.

Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Here it is, folks.

July 1.

New month. New quarter. Second half of the year.

Which means this is a really good moment to ask yourself: are you actually set up for the next six months, or are you hoping motivation, caffeine, and a half-remembered to-do list will carry you through?

Because there’s a big difference between having goals and having a life that can actually support them.

Imagine walking into each month with a clear outline for what matters most. Imagine starting each week knowing what needs your attention, what can wait, and what does not deserve to hijack your nervous system. Imagine having enough structure that last-minute summer plans, family stuff, client work, money decisions, community events, and unexpected life bits don’t knock everything sideways.

Not rigid. Not over-planned. Not “turn your life into a spreadsheet and call it wellness.”

Just enough structure to help you enjoy your actual life while still moving toward what you say you want.

If that sounds dreamy but slightly unrealistic, that’s exactly why I do Vision Mapping Sessions.

Come spend 120 focused minutes with me, and we’ll sort through what’s no longer working, identify what needs your attention first, and map a realistic direction for your next 90 days.

And if you already know this isn’t a one-session situation, my ongoing private work gives you steadier support through the rest of 2026:

Recalibration Sessions for bi-weekly support when your life needs better systems, stronger follow-through, and a calmer way to carry the moving parts.

Reinvention Intensive for weekly support when you’re navigating bigger changes, bigger decisions, or a season that needs more than a gentle nudge.

Read: You do not have to Lone Ranger your way through the second half of the year.

I can help you build the structure, support, and strategy that help you live in your life better.

And keep it that way!

If you’re ready to stop hoping the next six months magically organize themselves, send me a message with SECOND HALF and let’s talk about the best place for you to begin.

Tonight’s full moon is the Strawberry Moon here in the U.S., the Honey Moon in parts of Europe, and she’s showing up in Capricorn right as we close out Q2 and step into the second half of 2026.

So basically, the sky said, “Cute summer mood. Let’s talk about your structure.”

Capricorn energy is practical, grounded, long-game energy. It’s not here for pretty intentions that look lovely in a journal but have no actual support underneath them. It wants to know what you’re building, what you’re carrying, what needs to be released, and whether your daily choices are still connected to the life you say you want.

And honestly, that feels like perfect timing.

We’re halfway through the year, which makes this a good moment to pause and ask what worked, what drained you, what still matters, and what has been quietly living in the “I’ll deal with it later” pile for far too long.

Not because we need to judge the first half of the year or create some ridiculous 47-step improvement plan that makes us want to lie down immediately. We’re not doing that.

But because information is useful.

If your energy has been leaking into things that no longer deserve it, that’s information. If a goal still matters but has no structure underneath it, that’s information. If you keep saying everything is fine while your body, calendar, bank account, or nervous system is filing a formal complaint, that is very useful information.

Full moons are often about release, but I don’t think release always has to be dramatic. Sometimes it’s simply admitting that an old pace, old role, old plan, old belief, or old way of holding everything together is no longer working the way it used to.

That’s not failure. That’s your life handing you better data.

So tonight, under this full moon, take a few minutes to look honestly at the first half of your year. What are you keeping? What are you shifting? What are you finally ready to stop dragging into the second half of 2026?

Because the next six months do not need to be built from guilt, avoidance, over-functioning, or pretending that “fine” is a strategy.

They can be built from steadiness, sanity, momentum, and a much more honest relationship with what actually supports your life now.

If this stirred something up for you, I’d love to help you figure it out.
