The Inner Peace Club is my monthly membership and the ongoing practice space at the heart of Blissful Being.

It’s a self led, ever growing library of Reiki infused meditations, sound journeys, writing reflections, seasonal rituals, and embodied tools designed to support your mental, emotional, and energetic wellbeing in real life.

Members receive access to my live online and in person gatherings, with replays added to the library so the support is always there when you need it.

I’m a forever student. As I continue my studies in yoga, mindfulness, energy work, and conscious living, new layers are added to this space. It evolves as I evolve.

There are no required modules and no pressure to keep up. You move through it in your own time and return to it whenever life calls for steadiness.

$44 per month. Cancel anytime.

If you’re looking for grounded, meaningful support that grows with you, you can explore the Inner Peace Club through the link in my bio.

There was a time I would have absolutely made fun of someone who said, “Go hug a tree.”

Like… okay Karen. 🤣

And yet, here I am. Arms wrapped around a tree on a random Friday, fully aware of the irony.

All I know is I leave here feeling clearer than I arrived.

No journaling prompt required.

So yes.
Go hug a tree.

Or at least step outside and see what shifts for you.

I am so excited to say this out loud.

On Monday, March 2nd at 6:30 PM, we’re gathering for our very first choir meeting, and I would love for you to be in that room with us.

This is about women choosing songs we love, turning up the speaker, and singing because it feels good. It’s about laughter, a little courage, and the kind of energy that only happens when voices blend together.

There’s no big performance plan waiting at the end. The joy is the point. The room is the point. The singing is the point.

If that lights you up even a little bit, come join us.

Send me a DM for the details and I’ll make sure you have everything you need.

Monday, March 2nd. 6:30 PM.

Let’s get loud together.

This week’s sip didn’t land on Tuesday.

And I felt that. I love my rhythm. I love keeping my word to myself. But these last few months have been heavy, and sometimes my capacity shifts in ways I can’t ignore.

In today’s episode, I talked about pushing when we need to and also recognizing when pushing isn’t the answer. I’m building a mindful business that is slower and intentional. Sometimes that means moving your own deadline (even if it’s just one day) because honoring your capacity matters more than proving something.

I also shared a piece of my ADHD journey. I started back on synthetic medication last week after being off for two years, and I was so damn nervous. It’s vulnerable to say that out loud. To admit that sometimes I need support. That sometimes I recalibrate. Tending to my brain and my body is my responsibility.

It’s Pink Shirt Day, a reminder about bullying and the impact of our words. And I kept thinking about how that applies inward too. The way we speak to ourselves when we don’t meet our own expectations. Kindness matters in both directions.

Episode 33 is up now. Just under 15 minutes of bowls, breath, and a conversation about capacity, courage, and choosing intention over urgency.

🫖 What’s in your cup today?

Pink Shirt Day

Today is Anti-Bullying Day, and across the country people are wearing pink as a reminder that how we treat each other matters.

When I think about bullying, I don’t ONLY think about school hallways. I think about the subtle ways people are excluded. The sharp comments that get brushed off as jokes. The online spaces that don’t feel safe. I think about the way we can turn that same tone inward and live with it in our own heads.

Mental health is shaped by environment. By belonging. By the feeling that you are safe where you stand!!!

Creating spaces where people feel safe to show up as they are matters deeply to me.

This year’s theme is Sprinkle Kindness.

For me, that begins with a pause. A breath before responding. A moment to notice the tone in my words, the energy behind them, and the way they might land. The same awareness applies to the quiet conversations I have with myself.

That’s the practice. AND that’s something I care deeply about.

I’m outside within the first hour of waking most days.

Here’s what’s actually happening when I do that.

Morning light helps regulate your circadian rhythm. That supports steadier energy during the day and better sleep at night.

Your body releases cortisol when you wake up. Gentle movement gives that hormone somewhere to go, which can lower the anxious edge many of us feel in the morning.

Walking creates rhythmic, left-right movement. That pattern helps organize thinking and reduce mental noise.

Time in nature is linked to improved mood and decreased rumination.

It’s simple. But the impact is noticeable.

On the days I get outside, I start clearer.
On the days I don’t, everything feels louder.

If your mornings feel busy before the day even begins, ten minutes of light and movement is a solid place to start.

This is one of the foundational practices I build my work on.

When I say ADHD, what do you picture?

Be honest.

A little boy who can’t sit still?
Blurting out answers?
Bouncing in a classroom?

That’s what I pictured too.

Which is probably why it never crossed my mind that it could look like ME.

Mine looked quieter.

- Procrastinating until the pressure was unbearable and then pulling it off at the last minute.
- Losing focus halfway through something I genuinely cared about.
- Starting projects with so much fire and watching myself stall in the middle.
- Living in visual chaos and assuming it said something about my character.

I called those things flaws.

I tightened up. I tried harder. I pushed myself to be more disciplined, more consistent, more “together.”

I measured myself against standards that were never built for my wiring.

A recent diagnosis has given me language for something I’ve been wrestling with for years.

There’s clarity in that.
And there’s a reckoning too.

I’m learning to work with my brain instead of negotiating against it.

When you hear ADHD… what do you picture?

We throw around the word practice all the time. You see it everywhere online.

But what is it?

Practice is repetition with intention.
It’s choosing to return to yourself on purpose.

For me, it shows up in small, ordinary moments like:

• closing my eyes before answering a message that would usually pull me into reaction
• stopping to take three slow breaths
• placing one hand on my chest and one on my belly and actually feeling my breath move
• listening fully to the person in front of me instead of planning my response
• paying attention to what’s actually being said
• turning on music and letting my body move when my thoughts feel loud
• sitting with a meditation even if my mind wanders
• writing honestly instead of carrying everything internally

These are simple acts of attention. Repeated.

The Inner Peace Club is where I share and practice these things in real time. Members have ongoing access to the meditations, sound sessions, rituals, and reflections I create as they unfold. It’s steady support you can return to whenever you need it.

If you want a place that helps you pause, pay attention, and come back to yourself, you’re welcome inside.

Sip & Sound Ep 32: Fire Horse Energy

This morning’s sip felt a little electric.

Today marks the Year of the Fire Horse, and there’s something about that energy that feels bold and alive. I pulled a card from the Gateway Oracle deck by Denise Lynn and let it set the tone for our time together.

My tea was in my West Coast Karma mug, the one with the humpback whale and her baby. It felt fitting somehow. Strength and softness in the same cup.

And I’m deeply grateful for the snow. The quiet. The way it slows everything down and softens the edges.

Episode 32 is up now. Just under 15 minutes of bowls, breath, and space to land inside this new fire-lit chapter.

February is a big month for me.

This week marks three years since we lost my dad, and I feel it.
In my chest.
In my throat.
In the way everything gets a little more tender, even when life keeps moving.

And of course I’m sick too. The cold made its way from my mom to Stu and now to me, and my body is reminding me that pushing through doesn’t mean powering over what hurts. Sometimes it means listening. Slowing down. Letting the grief and the germs both have their say.

I could have skipped recording this morning. I didn’t. Not because I had to, but because showing up imperfectly still counts. Congested. Tender. A little raw.

There’s grief here. There’s love here. And there’s community too. The silent auction supporting the Victoria Women’s Transition House feels especially meaningful as opens up today.

Episode 31 is up now. Just under 15 minutes of bowls, breath, and space to sit with what February is stirring in you.

I’m honoured to share that I was invited to contribute to Fashion Splash in Victoria this year, a community fundraising event taking place on Saturday, February 15th in support of the Victoria Women’s Transition House Society.

This organization provides emergency shelter, housing support, counselling, and prevention programs for women and children impacted by intimate partner violence. It is vital work that supports women during some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives.

When I was asked to donate to the silent auction, I said yes without hesitation. I contributed a full year membership to The Inner Peace Club, valued at $528. A year of supportive practices designed to help women feel steady and resourced.

The online auction opens TOMORROW and anyone can participate, even if you are not attending the event in person. I’ll share the bidding link in the comments if you would like to take part or support the cause.

Women supporting women will always matter to me.
