It's really happening in 11 weeks!!

I just realized this myself, Reader, and I was like WHOA!!!! As a mom with kids in school, now is my time to REFLECT on all that's happened (that I made happen!) since September. And ask myself: Have I moved closer to those guiding stars (my goals)? Is there some other thing / way of being / call to adventure that is unfinished or needs more forward progress? 🔥 Because in 11 weeks, when Jr. Lifeguard carpools start, schedules are regularly irregular, and I get to enjoy more time with my boys,...

Hi hi Reader! The equinox is upon us. The 1/2 way point between the winter solstice and the summer solstice. It’s OUR opportunity to listen into our light and our dark —- what’s churning, what’s composting, what’s being planted. Do yourself a favor and RECLAIM sacred solitude to DIVE IN and find out what’s important to you… what behaviors you are ready to let go of ~ what are you calling in ~ Take that breath. Take the walk. Have the difficult conversation. Put your phone down and APPRECIATE...

And ps spring equinox is in a week!!!

Hi hi Reader! Have I told you how much I love math? I have always loved math and if I wasn’t in my healer / yogi / coach / mom lifeline right now 😆, I would’ve been a finance major and done something with that! ➡️or a choreographer ➡️ or a pediatric cardiac surgeon! Now, I use my math skills to enjoy working with the Quickbooks for our businesses. My dancing skills are being channeled into weekly hula practice. The dreams of being a pediatric cardiac surgeon went into my work with kids and...

March 17th, 2026: So Cal Wellness Summit!

Hi hi, Reader! It’s March! My birthday month woop woop!! 🎉 And at my beautiful age of 49! I keep coming back to what is working in my life and that is my: AM Bookend (😉you could also call is Morning Rituals / Morning self care / AM Protocol) You want to make time for your own beautiful sacred nugget of time in the morning. It’s a complete “choose your own adventure” practice. (And I name it a practice because it grows and evolves as you figure out what works for you.) The morning time...

Heads up, Reader, I’m going to talk about some science today. 😆 But first, have you ever noticed that when you get interested in something (like a type of car or a show or style or really anything) you START TO SEE IT EVERYWHERE. You see that car more often on the street, you see the advertisements for shows you like, you see people wearing that type of style of ___ you like…. The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is the beautiful part of your brain that notices, filters, and highlights this...

Before you start this email - reconnect to yourself—> the breath, visualize the breath from the crown of your head to your root and feet and then take the exhale and follow from feet to crown. Release any physical holding or tightness. Scan your physical, mental-emotional, and spirit bodies for any messages. Then finish this sentence: I embody play as ________… We all embody play differently. Myself, I embody play as movement. You need play intentionally in your life to promote overall...

So, Reader remember when I said I was getting a space!!! It’s real. It’s happening in real time. Then I got amped, did some promo things and I had momentum! Then life happened ( I got sick, a child got sick, lost some sleep, nutritionally I was wonky) and I completely got de- railed. Has this ever happened to you?!!!! One moment you are SO crushing it / in the flow and then you get “ka-blammo’ed”. (This is a straight up kids graphic novel term 😆). Frustrating. Two things that I do when this...

Wow, Reader, January has been fun and now you're on to February. Though there is some definite "hallmark greeting card love" going on, this is ALWAYS an opportunity to: LIVE IN LOVE. What does that mean to you, to LIVE IN LOVE? For me, its realizing that the love begins inside rather than outside. More specifically, loving all the parts of myself - the growth and the evolving parts - as well as the stuck and hard to look at parts. Being willing to open to the inner listening to reveal,...

So excited to share this, Reader! I committed to renting a healing space to see clients in Palos Verdes (if you are local - it's 777 Silver Spur Rd). I am sharing the space with two awesome healing women, Noelle and Colleen (a chiropractor and an acupuncurist/ healer - I put their info up on my website). But like, once I committed with my whole body YES! I also had the "TRY WAIT, SLOW DOWN, is this it!" self talk happening. Has this ever happened to you? Your intuition said go for it - then...

Exhale and SMILE, Reader! Here you are in another day to LIVE in LOVE or LIVE and LOVE. 😂Have you ever tried to astonish / delight / surprise a 12-13 yr. old boy? Well, I can tell you that being able to sing some classic METALLICA songs - helped my son and I have a JOYFUL and super fun CONNECTION! (how is Metallica his jam BTW and also 🙏to my 7/8th grade crew of boys I loved hanging out with at St. Lawrence Martyr school!) How can you bring joy into your life this week? What are you already...
