Thursday is the first of May and I’m pulling a new card for Soul Notes.

I love this part. Every month I sit with one card and follow wherever it leads and it always goes somewhere I didn’t expect. Last month I pulled a card about truth seeking and ended up writing about the exhaustion of performing a version of yourself that stopped fitting. About the small moments of joy we walk right past because they don’t feel significant enough to count. About that feeling of being on the other side of something even when you can’t fully explain what that something was.

I got messages about that one.

Honestly, that’s what I’m here for.

May’s Soul Note lands Sunday night in your inbox. Link in bio if you want in.

People have always just started talking to me.

For most of my life I honestly didn't think anything of it. I assumed this happened to everyone. That sitting with someone while they were still finding their words was just normal.
It wasn't until grad school that someone named it. And even then I didn't quite get it.

I wrote about it on Substack. About how I got from there to here and the thing I kept noticing along the way that I couldn't quite explain until recently.

04/15/2026

I’ve been in this in-between for a while now and I really hoped I’d be almost out of it by now, but it doesn’t look that way.

I’m still in it, figuring it out and learning how to just be here with it as it shows up, even when I want to scream, cry, and laugh at the same time.

I wrote a little life update on Substack.

I have a really hard time explaining what I do.

Like seriously. Someone asks and I open my mouth and something in me goes a little blank because the real answer is longer than what fits in a normal conversation and the short answer always feels like it's missing the actual point.
Reik, the Akashic Records and former therapist. All true, but also not quite it.

Women find their way to me when something has shifted and they can't quite hear themselves anymore. There's too much noise, too many opinions, too much of everyone else's version of what they should do next. And somewhere in the work we do together, that gets quieter. Not because I said or did the right thing. Because something about being in that space with me makes it easier to hear themselves again.

My clients describe it way better than I do. They say they feel lighter, like they finally have room to breathe, like something they already knew just got confirmed enough that they could actually trust it. One woman said she came back to herself. I genuinely don't know how to put that in a bio.

Most of the women who find me, a friend pointed them my way. Which honestly I'm so grateful for, because I'm really not great at talking about what I do. So if someone sent you here, please tell them I said thank you.

I am curious though, if we've ever worked together, how did you feel after?

My daughter said something to me this weekend that I'm still thinking about.

She told me she could feel anger building up and she wanted to figure out a way to get it out before it came out at the wrong person or at the wrong time.

She didn't have a solution. She wasn't even sure what was causing it. She just knew she could feel herself starting to spiral with it and she didn't want to let it get there.

I am so freaking proud of her.

We ended up in a really good conversation about what was triggering it and I kept thinking about how many of us never got that modelled for us. How many of us learned early that anger was either something to keep very quiet about or something that got used against us. Especially as women. You're too much, too emotional or a "bad girl" if you let any of it show. And then we wonder why it feels so confusing to even admit it's there.

And I'll be honest, I'm still figuring this out myself. I'm in my forties and I'm still unlearning the part of me that just wants to bury it and move on. Still catching myself going quiet when I probably shouldn't be.

Was anger something you ever felt like you could actually have or is it still something you're figuring out what to do with?

Somewhere along the way I got the impression that running a business like mine meant showing up a certain way online. Being warm but composed, reflective and also a little serious.

And yes, that part of me is real. But so is the part that randomly starts talking in a British accent while making dinner just because. The part that sings along to whatever is playing in the grocery store, out loud, while my daughters slowly back away like they've never met me before. The part that will absolutely start dancing wherever I am if the right song comes on and might have made a friend join in, you know who you are. The part with a dark sense of humour that has carried me through more hard seasons than I can count.

If you've ever been to one of my trainings or workshops you've probably already seen this side of me. And if you're a current client there's a good chance my humour has come through at least once. It's always been part of the work. It just hasn't always made it onto social media.

I've been thinking a lot this year about how I show up online. And I've recently realized I've been holding back parts of myself without even fully realizing it.

So what's shifting is more of the actual me is coming through. The warmth and the depth are staying. The sarcasm, the realness, the occasional swear word, all of it has always been part of how I hold space for people anyway.

It just hasn't always made it onto the page.

The world feels really angry right now.

I know people getting negative comments just for sharing their thoughts or showing up online. I know people struggling with their mental health because being online has started to feel like walking into a fight. Some days it genuinely feels like we've lost our compassion for each other.

We went to see Project Hail Mary on Friday night and I've been thinking about the reaction to it ever since. Not just ours, my whole family was crying in the theatre and we talked about it the whole drive home, but everyone's reaction.

People are leaving theatres posting about how much they loved it. Did you know that 72,000 people watched Rocky sleep on a TikTok Live because they just weren't ready to leave him yet? 🥹

I think people fell in love with how much Rocky and Ryland care for each other. That relationship is so genuine and so warm that you feel it in your whole heart. And the fact that it hit so many people that hard has given me a bit of hope to carry into this week.

Have you seen it? And what's been giving you hope lately, I'd love to know.

This week was March break for my girls. We decided to only make a few plans and let the rest of the week just kinda be.

I did have a few goals I wanted to get done and because it's me they involved organizing and purging. This week I tackled the girls' closets. I know that might not sound like fun but honestly it makes me so happy. And now both of their closets look amazing. I know it won't last but right now I'm happy.

And I guess going through their closets meant a shopping trip.

Not gonna lie, I do like shopping even when we don't get anything. It's just something we've always done together. We grab a drink and walk the mall. Now that they're older it's more time in change rooms.

I love that I'm still included in this part of their life and that they still want my opinion on their fits and their looks.

Lately they've also been finding things for me to try on. They actually know my style pretty well now.

On this trip, I found this long lace skirt that I kinda fell in love with. If you know me, that should be shocking because I'm a jeans and t-shirt girl. But they both told me to try it on and found a shirt to go with it.

When I stepped out of the change room they both loved it and with the help of the sales associate we figured out a few ways to style it so it still felt like me.

Yes, I bought the skirt. And I'm actually excited to wear it out.

Anyone else love a good closet cleanout or is that just me?

She sat with it for a second after I said it.

"You have a joyful soul."

I could see her hesitation. Like she was trying to figure out if I had the wrong person. Because she didn't feel joyful. She felt like she'd lost it, actually. Like somewhere in the middle of all of it, that part of herself just went quiet.

Trust me, I understand. The world is kind of a dumpster fire right now. Joy can feel like a luxury, or something that belongs to people whose lives are easier or something you used to have before things got hard.

But I think we've been given a pretty narrow version of what joy is supposed to look like. It's got to be loud, visible, always happy in this obvious way that is frankly exhausting to maintain. And when we don't feel that, we assume we've lost something.

A joyful soul doesn't mean you feel joyful all the time. It means joy is in your nature. It's what comes back when the noise settles.

It might look like watching a movie that makes you laugh. Buying yourself flowers because they made you smile. Listening to music that makes you want to dance. Baking something delicious. Choosing to not respond right away to that text message. Not getting pulled into the drama. Doing one thing, even something small, that brings you happiness.

None of that is loud. None of it looks like the joy we're sold.
But it's still joy. And if any of that sounds familiar, you probably haven't lost it either. It's just quieter than you recognized.

What is one thing that brings you joy?

March is endometriosis awareness month. And the most accurate thing I can tell you about it is that it sucks.

It took me years to get a diagnosis. Years of pushing through and being told it was normal and quietly wondering if I was being dramatic. I wasn't. And if you've ever been in that waiting room, literally or figuratively, you'll know exactly what I mean.

The thing about endometriosis is that it shows up differently for everyone, which makes it even harder to explain and even harder to get people to understand. For me it's not just pain. It's an exhaustion I genuinely haven't experienced before in my life, and I'm not happy about it. It's inflammation that doesn't take days off. It's a body I'm still learning to trust again.

I'm still chasing treatment, still advocating for myself and still figuring out what this means for my life going forward.

I've been thinking about how to write about this for a while. Being vulnerable is not something I love, but I wanted to share what living with this has actually looked like. It's over on Substack today. Link is in my bio.

Something I hear a lot when women start talking about intuition is this.

“I don’t think I’m intuitive.”

And then in the same conversation they’ll tell me about a moment where they just knew something before there was any real proof.

A feeling about a person.
A sense that something wasn’t right.
Thinking about someone and then they reach out.

And almost every time they brush it off like it doesn’t really count.

But those moments are often exactly where intuition lives.

Most people expect intuition to show up as some kind of lightning bolt moment. Something obvious and impossible to miss.

But a lot of the time it’s much quieter than that.

That’s actually why I made the clairs quiz.

Not to tell you something new about yourself, but to help you notice how intuition might already be showing up in your life.

If you’re curious about that, you can find it in my bio.

But now I’m curious, have you ever had a moment like that?

03/03/2026

I don’t want to pretend it’s fine. It isn’t.

There is so much happening in the world right now. It feels loud and tense and constant. And when everything feels urgent, your body stays slightly on guard.

I’ve noticed I can go from caring to carrying without meaning to. My chest tightens. My patience shortens. I feel like I should know everything that’s happening and have an opinion about all of it.
That’s usually when I’ve hit my capacity.

Capacity is the point where your empathy is still there, but your nervous system is maxed out.

And when that happens, the most responsible thing you can do is pull some of your energy back home.

You don’t have to consume everything to prove you care.
You don’t have to stay plugged in all day to be informed.
You don’t have to dim your joy because the world is hurting.

You are allowed to live your actual life even when things feel uncertain and scary.
