TEDx, here I come!


You may have heard the news already, Reader, but if you haven't...

In a few short weeks, I take to the TEDx stage at SUNY, New Paltz!

Five and a half VERY long years ago when I decided to leave my career behind in EMS, I had a very particular “daydream” waiting for a light by our old apartment.

It was me on a stage. 😳 I didn’t know why or what I was talking about, but I envisioned it clear as day.

The image stayed with me as I built my online business, worked with clients 1:1, and then ultimately pivoted to building community & hosting events.

What I’ve learned since then is this: the dreams that scare you are usually the ones asking you to tell the truth.

The ones that don’t come with a roadmap. The ones that make you feel exposed, shaky, and wildly alive at the same time.

You don’t wait until you’re ready for those. You move anyway, even with your knees knocking.

This talk is the culmination of years of unlearning, healing, screaming into the void, rewriting my entire identity, and standing with women who are doing the same. It’s the story behind Sacred Circle. Behind my podcast. Behind every boundary I’ve ever had to fight myself to hold.

Life is wild. WILD. 💯 You can really turn all your pain into medicine.

I’m honored.
I’m fucking terrified.
But I’m so proud….

This is for every woman who’s ever whispered, “I don’t want to live like this anymore.”

And now it gets a stage. 🥹

PS, for those asking: the talk is Feb 6! 🙌🏻

With much excitement (& a little bit of terror, LOL!)

Good morning, Reader There’s something I recognized pretty early in my work with women. While I love 1:1 sessions and going deep into why we tick the way we do, the piece so many of us are actually missing isn’t more information. 💕 It’s community.Real community. The kind where you can show up without performing, without holding it all together, and without feeling like you need to be anything other than who you are in that moment. Because yes, you can learn Tapping (EFT) for free on YouTube....

Reader, 10 out of 10 recommend not waiting to do the things you want to do just because you’re afraid you won’t have anyone to do them with. Weekssss ago I knew I wanted to see "Wuthering Heights", and I wanted to see it when I wanted to see it. I didn’t want to plan around anyone else. I just wanted a day to myself and didn’t care how that might look to anyone on the outside. When I went to grab a ticket, I noticed something that made me laugh. Almost every seat that had been chosen was a...

Good morning, Reader When I realized that I’m entire personality was almost entirely made up of old programming/beliefs or a response to ADHD/CPTSD, I decided to make a pact with myself: Do one thing a day that you’ve been avoiding. Something. Every damn say. (Cuz I refuse to defined by some g*ddamn alphabet diagnosis.) Yesterday I was in a funnnnnk. I’ve been working since I was 15 (I’m going to be 34 in June), so NOT working is triggering AF. It’s forcing me to look at a whole bunch of sh*t...
