Lately, I’ve been in full-on wedding planning mode. Which is a joyful thing. A beautiful thing. And also… a million tiny decisions! From honeymoon locations to napkin colors to which version of myself I want to bring into this next chapter- it’s a swirl of choices that can feel equally sacred and overwhelming. And in the middle of all that swirl, I’ve noticed something: my head can answer questions much faster than my body. But when I actually pause long enough to feel the an

Ever hear a word that sounds kind of... weird? “Enneagram” might be one of those words. If this is your first time seeing it, welcome. You’re not behind. You’re not late. You’re right on time. Maybe you’re here because you’re tired of hitting the same patterns. Maybe you’re craving more clarity, or depth in your relationships. Or maybe… you just like a good personality quiz. (I see you.) Wherever you're starting from, this is the beginning of a fun and insightful inner quest 

It’s Monday morning. I’ve had a full weekend; one that included rest, loving time with my fiancé, joyful connection with my chorus, and plenty of moments that truly filled my cup and refueled me. So why does my body still feel like it wants to slow down? Why is my brain foggy, my wedding to-do list blurry, and my nervous system saying, “Not yet” when everything around me is shouting, “Go!”? It doesn’t feel like laziness. It feels like a request. A whisper. My body asking to

Planning a wedding brings a thousand decisions, a million details, and countless conversations with people you love. And somehow, even though it’s your wedding, it’s also very much about everyone else: their feelings, their schedules, their questions, their expectations. It’s life, it's having relationships, it's beautiful, and it’s a lot. Lately, I’ve found myself stretched between wanting to be deeply present for this once in a lifetime chapter… and also feeling a rising pr

People say your wedding should be the happiest time of your life. And in so many ways, it is. I’m marrying my best friend and the love of my life this December. Jon is kind, steady, hilarious, thoughtful, and so deeply mine. I'm excited. I’m honored. I’m all in. And also...I’m grieving. I wasn’t expecting this strange tenderness that keeps rising in the quiet moments. The mirror is one of those places where it speaks the loudest. At 45, I don’t look like I thought I would on

Hi, friend. I'm so glad you're here. If you're anything like I was when I started my breathwork journey, you might be wondering: What exactly is breathwork? Is it just deep breathing? Is it like meditation? Why does everyone talk about it like it changes their life? You're not alone. And the truth is, those questions are exactly  the right place to begin. Let’s explore what breathwork really is, what it isn’t, and how you can start using it in your own life—even if you’re new

In the hustle of everyday life, it’s easy to live from the neck up, stuck in our heads, disconnected from our bodies, and overwhelmed by the swirl of to-do lists and expectations. But true transformation doesn’t happen through thinking alone. It happens when we return to the body. As a Somatic Life Coach and Breathwork Facilitator, I often remind clients: the body isn’t just where we carry stress; it’s also where we carry wisdom, resilience, and the capacity to heal. What Are

There’s a moment I’ll never forget. It was 2021, and the isolation from Covid shelter-in-place had cracked me open. I was suddenly alone, and that loneliness forced me to start doing things differently, and thinking about my life more deeply than I ever had before. I was still single and quietly grieving the life I thought I’d have by now. I remember spiraling through thoughts like: “Where is he? Will I ever find the right person? What if I never get to be a mom?” The ache wa

When I first started using the Enneagram in 2019, I saw it as a personal tool: something to help me uncover my unconscious patterns, understand my motivations, and grow into my fullest self. I had no idea how valuable it would become in my most important relationship. A few months ago, my fiancé Jon began exploring the Enneagram with me. It didn’t take him long to find his type. As soon as he saw the name “The Individualist,” something clicked. “That’s me,” he said without he

When I first discovered the Enneagram in 2019, I didn’t know I was stepping into something that would change the way I see myself, my relationships, and the world. It wasn’t love at first sight. In fact, it took me a long time to find my type. I resonated with parts of many types: the empathy of the 2, the idealism of the 1, the introspection of the 4. But none of them felt like a full fit. I couldn’t quite land. It wasn’t until I really started looking at the deeper motivati

Hi friend, I’m so glad you’re here. It’s been a while since I’ve shared something personal, and today, I’m excited to open the door...
