blog + what's on my mind

Feeling like you’ve said yes to too many things and now you’re wondering how in the world you’ll get it all done? Or maybe you committed to something coming up, but then life threw you a curveball—and now you’re feeling stretched too thin. Or you’re just plain exhausted and know you need a break… but […]

You’re playing an entirely different game with work-life balance. Not the packed calendar.Not the “always on” mode.Not proving your value by how much you take on. But the space to think clearly.The time to focus on what really matters.The boldness to succeed without the hectic, overwhelming pace. It’s a version of balance that doesn’t just […]

What if you didn’t take it personally? That snarky or dismissive comment.A genuine miscommunication.Someone saying no to you. Whether it’s from a coworker, a family member, or someone else. Leaving you feeling hurt, misunderstood, or rejected. Your mind spinning with assumptions about their intentions or what they think of you. We’ve all been there. It’s […]

Early on in my business, my intuition led me to a deep desire to help others be more balanced in their lives and as leaders. In January 2017, I wrote my first blog post, “What Does Work-Life Balance Even Mean?”, which started me on a writing path. Over the years, I’ve taken on other focus […]

Not working evenings and weekends is part of what balance looks like for me because I like to be in rhythm with my husband and kids. This boundary also gives me the space to recharge from the week, and truly enjoy my personal time—without any guilt about not working. There are exceptions, but they’re rare. […]

What if you confidently and firmly decided to make the change you’ve been wanting to make? Let’s dive into confidently and firmly deciding to make a change! It’s been just over a year since I quit drinking alcohol. I didn’t have a problem with it and was already a light drinker (though I drank way too […]

Being present is my number one value and something I’m intentional about every. single. day. Sometimes, this means being there for the moments that truly matter most—like when my mom suddenly passed away three years ago today. More often this means being present in the small, everyday moments—the messy, imperfect ones that fill our days. […]

Are you tired of just getting by each day and feeling discouraged that no matter how much you do, you seem to be falling further behind? When you have too many ‘must-dos’ and it feels like you’re constantly letting both your work and family down. When you want to stop feeling the constant pressure to […]
