 Self-Care

Today, I want to talk about a topic that's close to all of our hearts: balance. As women, we often wear many hats—mother, wife, partner, friend, career woman. We juggle so much, and it can be overwhelming at times. But it's important to remember that we don't have to be perfect at everything. We just need to find a way to balance it all.

Here are a few tips that have helped me find balance in my own life:

  1. Prioritize self-care. It's easy to put ourselves last, but self-care is essential. Make time for activities that nourish your mind, body, and soul. Whether it's taking a long hike, a 1 minute meditation, or simply reading a good book, make sure you're taking care of yourself.

  2. Set realistic expectations. Don't try to do it all. It's okay to say NO to things that are overwhelming or that don't align with your priorities.

  3. Practice gratitude. A daily gratitude practice helps you appreciate what you have and let go of what you don’t. Set aside a few minutes each day to reflect on the things you're thankful for. I personally use the 365 Gratitude and Gratitude apps to keep this practice alive and meaningful.

  4. Connect with others. Make time for activities like coffee dates with friends, join a local club, attend group fitness classes, or volunteer. Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you. Whether it's family, close friends, or new connections, building strong relationships can help you feel less alone and more connected. Remember, life is meant to be lived. You'll never regret spending time with loved ones or doing things you enjoy.

  5. Find your passion. Doing something you love can bring joy and fulfillment to your life. Whether it's a hobby, a career, or a volunteer activity, find something that makes you feel alive.

Remember, balance is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs along the way, but with patience and perseverance, you can find a way to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Until next time,

You're feeling lost, right? You're staring at your future, and it's a big, scary blank. I get it. I've been there. I climbed the corporate ladder, thinking that was the golden key to happiness. But let me tell you, it wasn't. I hit a wall, hard. And that's when I decided to jump off.

I ditched my 30+ year high power career, packed my bags, and found myself in India, doing yoga. Yeah, yoga! And then I hiked through Turkey, feeling the wind on my face, the earth beneath my feet. It was terrifying, exhilarating, and life changing. I discovered my purpose, my peace, my health, and, most importantly, my true self.

I know what it’s like to struggle and face life’s curveballs. I’ve worked my way through college while juggling a full-time job, raised my daughter, navigated divorce, and found love again. I’ve been outsourced, survived multiple mergers and acquisitions, and faced challenges that pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined.

Now, I'm here to help you navigate your life transitions. My mission? To guide you in uncovering your core values, finding balance, and breaking free from what's holding you back. I'm not just talking the talk; I've walked the walk.

Together, we'll set powerful goals, embrace vulnerability as your superpower, and create a life that truly resonates with who you are. This isn't just guidance; it's about making a lasting impact on your life—one filled with clarity, purpose, and joy.

Let’s get started on this journey together!
