Our book club is getting into the changes we can make and how to support ourselves during our perimenopause phase of life. This podcast came up right when we needed to hear it.

I've read Atomic Habits multiple times but hearing from the author and Mel Robbins and the same time gave me so many new things to remember and ways to keep myself on top of habit adjustments. Change is always going to be happening, we just need to adjust to those changes, not toss in the towel and give up or do radical shifts to start new.

If you're in a rut, not knowing what you want to do next, or your overwhelmed with the thought of adjusting to your next phase of life, listen to the podcast, jot down some notes or questions, and reach out. I'd love to see if I can help you find a clear path.

You are more gifted than you know.

Sometimes, your natural ability to notice what others miss is a quiet superpower. It might show up as remembering the small details that make someone feel seen, or sensing when a friend needs encouragement before she says a word. Often, this gift is asking you to slow down and honor your intuition—trusting that your gentle awareness is a strength, not something to brush aside.

Today, try this: Pause for a moment with your favorite cup of tea, breathe deeply, and jot down one thing you noticed about yourself or the world that made you smile. If you love essential oils, a drop of frankincense can help ground your senses and invite clarity.

Your gifts are worth celebrating. Want to explore more ways to live intentionally from the heart? Visit my website or send me a message.

Want to see if this trick works for you? Let’s chat about easy, natural ways to clear the fog together.

If you're craving a fresh start this year, start here:

Meet the real you.
Not the version who performs.
Not the version who people-pleases.
Not the version who keeps shrinking.

In my coaching, I use the power of knowledge (books), the power of nature (from my nature loving friends), a specific assessment that helps you uncover your uniqueness. For many women, it's the first time they feel real compassion for themselves.

What if your gifts are winter magic?

Sometimes, our strengths feel quiet or hidden, like the hush of a snowy morning. But even the softest qualities—gentleness, intuition, patience—can shape our days in beautiful ways. When you honor these parts of yourself, you create space for deeper connection and peace.

Today, try this: Pour a cup of herbal tea, start your diffuser, and spend a few minutes journaling. Ask yourself, "What gentle strength is guiding me right now?" Notice how your body responds when you pause to listen.
