Feeling like a cinnamon roll 💜

09/24/2026

I’ve been hearing from so many women lately
I am productive!!
I am meeting most deadlines!!
I am taking care of everyone.

We’re checking the boxes, but some are doing this from frantic, from stress, from overcommitting!

I realized I’ve been doing some of that as well. 😳😳

I’ve been taking life a little slower the last few weeks and honestly the best way to describe it is:

I feel like I’m living in a warm cinnamon roll with the icing melting over the top and a cozy latte and just goodness all around 💜

I’ve been shedding things that aren’t serving me, being more intentional about who I spend time with, intentional with having more alone time, starting my workday a little later and finally accepting eight hours of sleep feels amazing!!

The funny thing is I’m still getting things done. I’m still reaching goals. I’m still growing my business, even though for a while, my brain was TRICKING ME…tricking me HARD…. telling me if I’m not hustling, my business won’t grow. If I’m not busy people won’t think I’m accomplishing! If I sleep too much I’m going to get lazy…. So silly I know!!

I’m learning that slower doesn’t mean less!

If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the things but not really enjoying your life maybe it’s time to shed a little!

women who nourish their lives flourish

What if slowing down didn’t mean you were falling behind?

Lately, I’ve been practicing something that doesn’t always come naturally to me…

Not rushing.

Not because I want to be complacent.
Not because I don’t have goals.
Not because I’ve stopped caring about what I accomplish.

But because I want to be nourished while I’m doing it.

And it’s amazing what you notice when you slow down.

Have you heard the birds in the morning lately? 🐦
Have you noticed the colors starting to change in the trees? 🍂
Have you actually tasted your coffee instead of drinking it while doing three other things?

When we stop rushing through our lives, we start experiencing them.

And here’s what I’m learning:

Slowing down doesn’t make me less impactful.
It helps me show up more fully for the things that matter.

I still want to grow.
I still have dreams.
I still want to make an impact.

I just don’t want to rush past my life while I’m building it.

So I’m slowing down.

Not to do less with my life…

but to be more present for the life I’m creating.

Who wants to join me?
Let’s slow down enough to notice what we’ve been missing. ❤️

Because women who nourish their lives, FLOURISH.

What if you gave yourself permission to feel what you’re actually feeling—without judgment, shame, or trying to fix it immediately?

Instead, what if you approached it with curiosity, love, and compassion?

What I have found is we create space for an emotion, something shifts.

We can begin to understand it.
We can listen to what it’s trying to tell us.
And eventually, we can choose a response that serves us better.

But here’s the part we sometimes want to skip…

Sometimes you have to sit with the emotion before you can move through it.

You don't have to rush to make it positive.
You don't have to talk yourself out of it.
You don't have to have it all figured out.

Sometimes the most nourishing thing you can do is simply say:

“Okay. This is what I’m feeling right now. I can be here with it.”

And from that place, change becomes possible.

What emotion might you need to give yourself permission to simply feel today?

Almost 6 months into being an empty nester…

A few things I’ve noticed:

We don’t need nearly as much milk. 😂
My dishwasher is somehow STILL full.
I really miss the random conversations.

But I’m also realizing I need more alone time—not because I want to be alone, but because I need space to process this new season.

And perhaps the biggest lesson…

Taking care of myself is still a conscious choice.

Even with more time, I still have to choose the quiet, the walk, the rest, the things that nourish me.

Maybe empty nesting isn’t about filling the empty spaces.
