I have had one fear for eighteen years now, and last summer it came true. My oldest daughter moved out. It’s not the fact that she moved out that was my fear. No. I knew that was coming one day obviously. No, my biggest fear had been that my daughter would move out and it…

A letter to my 18 year old self
I was recently working with the ladies I do group coaching with on the topic around self love. It’s a theme we picked for the month of May. It was something that a lot of us in the group struggle with, so it seemed like an easy pick of a theme to cover. I am…
I’ve Felt this Way Before.
I attended a conference recently that spoke a lot to the “why” behind our feelings surrounding the current season we all are finding ourselves in. A question was asked if the feeling we find ourselves experiencing right now is something that we have experienced before. This thought was then followed by a couple of questions…
I love my kids AND
I love my children so much. I am forever grateful for the gift of being their mama, but this season, this current space we find ourselves in, this is hard. I remember back to my maternity leaves, the anxiety and stress I felt for the constant countdown as each week melted away. The time flew…

No imperfections. Let me tell you about the pressure, stress and anxiety that came with having this narrative…
My Reflection
Have you ever sat down and just had some reflection on the year. This has been something I have wanted to do, but I could not find the time or head space to do so. Then the most interesting thing happened. We lost power at our house AND my children are sleeping. The house is…
Finding Me Time Without the Guilt
Something that has been coming up a lot in conversation is around self care. It is amazing to me how many women have so much guilt wrapped around the idea. The amount of women that tell me they don’t have the time, or the resources, to have some time dedicated for themselves honestly breaks my…
Boundaries Around the Holidays
The holiday season can be a magical time, but can also be an extremely stressful time. It can be triggering for some, or full of too many demands and plans making us so busy that we don’t actually have the opportunity to FEEL this time of year, but most just survive through it. Tell me,…
