❊ A little more personal than usual


Hey there, Reader —sharing something a little more personal today.

Not polished or perfect. But real.

And maybe exactly what you needed in a week like this.

This isn’t content. It’s a lived experience I needed to put into words.

From a place of I don’t know what happens next, but I trust myself more with what comes next.

You don’t have to be a parent to relate.

❊ What it looks like to live in alignment, even when the outcome is unclear


If you’re in a season of stretching, this one’s for you.

I hear this all month from moms who say: “I’m holding it all together, but I feel lost inside.” And when we sit with that for a moment, something softer usually rises to the surface: “I know I need to feel more tuned in to myself and my...

Hey there, Reader, Most businesses are in go-mode this week. I’m… not. Here’s what these next few days actually look like for me: No new launches. No flash sales. Some behind-the-scenes building.
