🪞 i caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]


I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror.

I was just coming back to work after having 2 weeks off.

While I was off, I looked great. I couldn't help but notice it. My hair lay beautifully in my claw clip. It was perfect without even trying or using a mirror.

I was smiling more. I was happy. I was calm. I was excited for each day to wake up and do fun things.

Now, on the first day back as I'm getting into my desk chair, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I looked exhausted, drained, depleted; even my hair looked awful, it would not cooperate.

In the past, I would have just pushed through. You know the conversation, "You've been off for 2 weeks, get back to work."

"You're so lazy. What's wrong with you? As soon as you get back into it, you'll be fine."

But I know I must work WITH my body. I cannot override it. Because even if I do override it, nothing will go how I want it and the work will fall flat.

I KNOW like I know like I know that I MUST work my way even when there is pressure to perform, to earn, to pay bills, to make money.

In that moment, my reflection was telling me, this isn't you. No matter how much time off, you'll NEVER be rested enough when you work against your body.

I immediately got out of my chair and got in my pool.

I felt all the feels and the stories.

"How can you be taking more time off?"

"You've been in your pool every day."

"You're lazy."

On and on went the stories, the guilt, the pressure, the shame.

And it was hard.

Nothing was certain.

Nothing was known.

Where would the money come from?

And I stayed.

I stayed with it. I didn't go and do work. I stayed in the pool. I stayed with my process, the one I live and teach.

And then, I signed a brand new client. Out of the blue.

I can guarantee you, Reader, without this work that I live and teach, I would have stayed in that chair to quiet the voices. To make money. To earn. To pay bills. To appease. And NONE of it would have brought in a client.

I can guarantee this because it's how I worked for years. The guilt, the shoulds, the voices always won out.

And I have a feeling that this is how you're working too, Reader.

What I know is this. You MUST be doing what you love to live a fulfilled life.

Plain and simple.

Life is not something you get through to get to retirement or to the weekend.

Reader, YOU have something that is asking to come alive within you, but you cannot see HOW to do it. Or how it will work or how you'll make money doing it. And that is keeping you trapped and stuck.

This is what I do. I help you do what you love your way.

I want you to be able to live your passions, your purpose, and a life that lights you up from the inside out. Let's do that together.

My emails aren’t about giving you more strategies to follow or more rules to live by. They’re about helping you come back to yourself. Inside, you’ll find real stories, powerful realizations, and the kind of reflections that help you see what’s actually been keeping you stuck… even when it doesn’t look like fear on the surface. Because most women don’t realize this: You’re not failing.You’re not inconsistent. You’re not behind. There’s a pattern underneath it all—and once you see it, everything begins to shift. These emails will help you reconnect with your inner knowing, understand your nervous system, and start making decisions from a place that actually feels safe in your body. This is for the woman who is tired of pushing, tired of overthinking, and ready to move forward in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and true. If that’s you…You’re in the right place 💗

Here's what I know.The overwhelm, the frustration you're feeling isn't something to change or avoid or manage. It's language. It IS something to listen to.It's not something you have to rearrange, reword, control, or meaning make to make it make sense. The overwhelm and frustration are a message.They're not something to force your way through or get over or push through. They're asking to be felt, witnessed, heard, and seen. They're asking you to get curious and inquire further. These...

My writing buddy who fits with me

I posted yesterday on Instagram, and all I wanted to say didn’t fit. I thought, “I’ll just copy and paste the rest into the first comment,” but the platform wouldn’t let me. I had to type in the first comment, Dm me for the rest. It doesn’t fit here. That comment looked surreal to me; the message that I wanted to share didn’t fit there. All I wanted to say didn’t fit there on that platform. I didn’t fit. My thoughts, my ideas didn’t fit. Reader, I write to get to know myself, and I write to...

Something people tell me all the time is that I give them the permission they need to do things their way. We're so used to "Following the rules"... "Doing it right," That our unique magic gets traded for a certainty that doesn't exist. You think you have certainty, but what you really have is an exhausted soul that HAS AND KNOWS a better way. That's what I help you remember. That's what I help you rediscover. Reply to this email to get started. P.S. Bonus time with me 1:1 starts now. The...
