For the past few summers, our family has taken a getaway to a boat-access-only cottage with no electricity, barely-there cell service, and a whole lot of togetherness. It’s quickly become one of my favourite traditions.

We’ll be heading there soon, me, my husband, our adult “kids,” my sister-in-law...

A Morning Walk and a Moment of Clarity

I was out walking this morning and realized… I wasn’t walking in a straight line.

I wasn’t in a rush. Just kind of in my own head, following the path, weaving a bit. At one point, I shifted right… then drifted left… then stepped around something in my way 💩.

There’s a lot of noise around “anti-aging.” You see it in ads, product labels, captions, and even in wellness spaces. It’s subtle sometimes, but the message is loud and clear: aging is a problem. A flaw. Something to fight, fix, or erase.

That mindset is doing more harm than good.

Aging isn’t a fa...

This past Sunday, I headed out for an early morning walk to beat the heat. The sun was already up, the streets were quiet, and I was about a block from home when I realized… I forgot my AirPods.

For a second, I thought about turning back. I usually walk and listen to a podcast, some music, or somet...

I saw a quote the other day that really made me pause:

“Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.”

And I thought, “Wow, that’s pretty powerful.”

I’ve been thinking about it ever since, because lately, I’ve been paying more attention to how I spend my time and energy. Not just what I’m doing...

I wanted to share a clip that popped up in my Instagram feed last week. It was from a conversation between Brené Brown and Tim Ferriss a few years ago, where Brené shared a simple but powerful check-in that she and her husband, Steve, use in their marriage.

They’ve been together for over 30 years a...

There’s tired… and then there’s tired.

Not the kind a good night’s sleep can fix. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes everything feel just a little heavier. Physically, mentally, and emotionally. It’s like moving through your day in slow motion.

Lately, I’ve been feeling it.

Not completely...

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not seeing results?

You’re eating better.
You’re moving more.
You’re trying to stay consistent.
And yet it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working.

It’s frustrating. It’s discouraging. And it’s exactly where so many people give up.

I shared this with my email list today and thought I’d post it here too, because honestly, it’s such a simple idea and might be just what you need if your mornings have been feeling a little off lately.

What’s the first thing you do in the morning?

Hit snooze? Check your phone? Shuffle into the ki...

How often do you hear someone say, "I'm busy," when asked how they're doing? I've been reflecting on what being "busy" truly signifies. Does it mean, "I don't have time to chat right now," or "I'm too swamped for anything"? "I'm soooo busy" has become a modern mantra, almost an automatic response, a...

Holy cow! We're already almost halfway through 2024! Time flies when you're... well, living life. As we hit this mid-year mark, it's the perfect opportunity to pause and take stock of how things are going. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever your beverage of choice is), and let's explore some ...

In a world that often glorifies perfection, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that we should have everything mastered by now. This belief can lead to a constant feeling of inadequacy and a never-ending pursuit of an unattainable ideal. But what if we redefined success not as the absence o...
