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?

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.

I don’t know if anyone else feels this, but I’ve had this quiet sense lately that I’m a bit behind.

Like everyone else seems to be stepping into something new and I’m just, here. A little still. A little slower than I expected to be this year.

Life is steady. I’m working. I’m doing my normal days. But I don’t feel that same sense of expansion I had last year. And I didn’t think it would affect me the way it has.

There’s a small part of me that keeps wondering if I missed my window. If maybe I had momentum and didn’t realize it and now I’m trying to find it again.

Even putting this here feels vulnerable.

I wrote more about this over on Substack today. About that tension between expansion and stillness and the fear of missing your moment.

Link’s in my bio.

Lately I’ve been having these little meaningful moments with my daughters and their friends.

My youngest had a friend over and at one point the two of them sat with me in the kitchen for almost an hour just talking about what was going on for her at school. When she was done she looked at me and said, “Thank you so much for letting me vent to you.” I swear I almost teared up but I just smiled and said, “Anytime.”

Later my daughter told me her friend said she really likes talking to me.

Then I picked up my oldest and her friend from the mall and before we were even out of the parking lot her friend was already telling me everything. What happened, what they bought, who they saw. All the fun little details. My daughter was chiming in too and there were these moments of, “Wait, I want to tell your mom that part.”

After I dropped her friend off, my daughter got a text that said, “I love your mom.”

It means a lot to be someone they feel comfortable talking to and letting into their world. These little moments honestly mean everything.

My mom heart feels very, very full.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to get used to things in your body that actually aren’t normal.

We adapt and push through. We tell ourselves it’s probably fine.

That train of thought ended up turning into something more personal than I expected, so I wrote about my own experience with all of this and what the last while has been like for me.

It’s up on Substack if you want to read it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much effort I used to put into becoming someone I thought people would like and trust.

I didn’t see it that way at the time. I just knew I was always adjusting myself. Softening things. Tightening things. Rereading captions way too many times, trying to land in that middle spot between human and spiritual.

Enough depth. Enough warmth. Still taken seriously.

And honestly, it makes sense. This space can be loud. Certain ways of showing up get more attention. And if you’re someone who needs quiet to think or feel things through, it’s easy to feel behind even when you’re doing good work.

Over the past year, I’ve been asking myself some harder questions about who I am and how I want to be here. In this space and in my business. I don’t always have clear answers. A lot of it has just been sitting with the questions longer than I normally would.

For a while, that felt uncomfortable. I like understanding things. I like clarity. But instead of answers, I started noticing where things felt tight. Where I was still shaping myself. Where I was rushing my own timing without realizing it.

What’s changing isn’t really my content. It’s more behind the scenes.

How I sit in my work. How much I feel the need to manage how I come across. How much space I give myself to move at the pace that actually works for me.

I’m starting to understand myself a bit better now. The patterns I used to question. The pauses I used to push past. Even the timing that used to feel off but actually isn’t. It’s just mine.

It doesn’t feel like a reinvention. Or a big moment.

It feels more like coming back to the version of me that’s always been here, underneath all the effort to get it right. Which is both comforting and a little uncomfortable.

There’s more space now. In how I speak. In how I show up. In how I hold others.

And I think that space is what I’ve been reaching for this whole time.
