​I don’t know who needs to hear this, but self-care is more than bubble baths and wine on the couch (although — yes, please to both). For me, self-care has evolved into something deeper. It’s about feeling good in my body, protecting my peace, fueling my mind and spirit, and showing up as the best version of myself — not just for others, but for me.Over the years, I’ve tried all the fads, the apps, the boxes, the challenges. Some ended up collecting dust in my email or closet (looking at you, un...

Let’s talk about the little luxuries we swear we can’t live without… until life says plot twist! and suddenly, you’re trading square footage for sea breezes. 😏When I moved from my traditional home to my Catalina 381 boat (yes, on the water, for real), there were a few creature comforts I was not about to give up. I mean, minimalism is cute until you can’t stream Netflix, check your email, or do a proper downward dog without crashing into your dining table.So here’s what I kept, what I tweaked, a...

Let me tell you a little story about a woman, a house, and a dream.Once upon a time, I lived in a gorgeous, spacious 2,800-square-foot home with rooms I barely stepped foot in, closets stuffed with things I thought I couldn’t live without, and a mortgage payment that made me want to stress-eat my way through a Costco-sized tub of cookie dough. It looked like the dream. But it felt like a trap. Financially. Emotionally. Energetically.So what did I do? I traded it all in for a 381 Christ Craft Cat...

I finally started watching The Handmaid’s Tale (yes, I know — I’m late to the resistance party). One episode in and I was hooked… and horrified. Not just because of the haunting imagery or the bone-chilling oppression, but because — deep breath — it doesn’t feel like fiction anymore.And that’s the part that’s both wildly engaging… and absolutely terrifying.For those not familiar (or who somehow dodged the trauma-drenched spoilers), The Handmaid’s Tale is set in a dystopian world called Gilead, w...

Leaving a toxic relationship? Hell yes, you are! But let’s be real — it’s not all sunshine and freedom right away. Your nervous system has been riding the stress rollercoaster for way too long, and now it’s time to get off that wild ride and step into the peace you deserve. If you’re feeling constantly on edge, exhausted, or emotionally zapped even after breaking free, you’re not crazy — your body has been stuck in survival mode. But don’t worry, we’re about to fix that. Buckle up, because we’re...

Ever wake up feeling meh — like you need 3 cups of coffee, a pep talk from Oprah, and a sign from the universe just to function? Yeah, same. (In fact, I sometimes think I’m the Queen of “aww do I haaavvvee to?)Not yet a friend of Medium? You can read this story here!But here’s the deal: your energy determines what you attract. If you’re vibing low, you’re going to pull in stress, frustration, and more “meh.” But if you shift your energy — even just for five minutes — you can reboot your mindset,...
