There’s a certain kind of tired many women carry. Not the kind that comes from a busy week or a long day, but the deeper kind that comes from years of being the one who holds everything together. The schedules. The emotions. The invisible details no one else thinks about. As women, we take on so much. Caring for families. Managing households. Being the steady presence others rely on. Often without realizing how completely we’ve wrapped our sense of self around being needed. A

I think we have all felt this at the start of a new year: “I feel behind. Everyone else seems to know what they’re doing, and I don’t.” And I understand that feeling well from my own experience. When a new year begins, there’s a quiet pressure in the air. New goals, plans and expectations. We’re told this is the moment to reset our lives, to finally get everything together. But for many women in midlife, that message doesn’t feel motivating. It feels heavy. If the idea of a “

For a long time, I believed that feeling overwhelmed was simply part of adulthood. I thought being busy, scattered, and mentally overloaded was normal. But over time, I realized something important: my constant sense of overwhelm wasn’t inevitable — it was the result of living without intention and structure. When my life felt disorganized, everything seemed harder than it needed to be. My energy was scattered, my focus was thin, and even simple tasks felt heavy. But when I b

I hear this so often from women: “I’m overwhelmed, exhausted, and I don’t know how to slow down.” And I understand that feeling deeply. When life feels heavy, we’re often told that self-care  is the answer. But somehow, that word has come to mean more effort, more planning, and more pressure. Spa days. Long routines. Big changes that feel unrealistic in the middle of real life. If that’s how self-care feels to you, I want you to know something right away, you’re not doing it

As the holiday season approaches, I feel a mix of excitement and hope. This time of year is beautiful, filled with warmth and connection. Yet, I also sense the pull of many demands. It can feel overwhelming, leaving me wishing for more space to enjoy the moments that truly matter. The holidays don’t have to be chaotic or stressful. With a few mindful choices, I can create a season that feels intentional, grounded, and full of lasting joy. Sometimes, that begins with a gentle,

I get this question more than almost any other: “What do I do if my spouse is not interested in intentional living?” It’s such a real and honest question — and one that so many of us struggle with quietly. Because when you’re drawn to simplicity, it can feel frustrating when the person you love most doesn’t share that same vision. Maybe you dream of clean spaces, open shelves, and fewer distractions… while your spouse feels comforted by their collections, or loves to shop “ju

Three years ago, at 51, I made a decision that shocked everyone — including myself. I walked away from the life I had carefully built for more than three decades. If you’ve ever felt trapped by circumstances, too afraid to make a change, or convinced that you’re “too old” to start over, I hope my story reminds you that it’s never too late to dream again. The Life I Built vs. The Life I Wanted For 32 years, I lived what looked like a perfectly good life. I became a mom at 19 a

I try to simplify my life wherever possible. Life already brings enough complexity — my wardrobe doesn’t need to be one of them. For me, clothing has become less about chasing trends and more about creating ease. Intentionally building a timeless, minimalist wardrobe saves me time, money, and mental energy. It’s a quiet form of self-care — a way to begin and end each day feeling calm, confident, and aligned with who I am. I’ve used a capsule wardrobe for years, but recently I

Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? We plan, we prepare, we try to control the details, and yet it unfolds in ways we never expect. For a long time, I resisted that unpredictability. I wanted certainty, safety, something I could hold onto. But everything changed when I embraced one simple, but powerful shift in perspective: I began saying yes to life. And I don’t mean yes to everything on my calendar or every request someone makes of me. I mean yes to life itself — t

Minimalism is more than just a trend—it’s a lifestyle choice that prioritizes intentional living, focusing on what truly matters while eliminating excess. Adopting minimalism can lead to profound benefits for your mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. Here are the top benefits of embracing a minimalist lifestyle: 1. Reduced Stress and Anxiety A cluttered environment often leads to a cluttered mind. By simplifying your surroundings and eliminating unnecessary posses

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of a closet full of clothes, yet feeling like you have nothing to wear? Trust me; you're not alone. For years I have struggled to define and refine my personal style. I never put much thought into my style; rather, I let my daily activities and the weather dictate what I wore.  It wasn’t until my very stylish twenty-year-old daughter offered to help me put together my style, that I realized I didn’t have a style. Since then, I've

I think summer may be at the top of most people's list of favorite seasons. Long summer days filled with endless opportunities for fun outside. Some of my fondest summer memories aren't extravagant holidays or expensive outdoor concert series, they are homegrown things reminiscent of simpler days. As I reminisce about summer as a child of the 70s and 80s I'm taken back to swimming in the lake, fishing in the creek, and star gazing on my lawn. These are a few of my favorite b

It’s never too late to change your life. A couple of times a year, I reflect on the passing of time and the life I’m living my birthday, and the end of the year. These are natural times to evaluate the past year and also to look ahead.   Asking questions like, How do I feel about the past year? Do I like the direction my life is going? What changes would I like to implement? “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” - Carol Burnette I’ve had many past years when i

The holidays can put a strain on us both emotionally and financially. The pressure to deliver a spectacular Christmas can come with a high price tag. I've experienced nearly 50 years of Christmas', many of them with little or no money. Some of my fondest memories are of the Christmas mornings when few presents were under the tree. It is the little things that bring a feeling of wonderment and awe to the holiday season. Here are a few of my budget-friendly Holiday ideas to ma

Living mindfully trickles into all areas of my life, including my finances. I view frugal living as a way to spend my money intentionally and purposefully, without being wasteful. I don’t feel as if I'm depriving myself or compromising my quality of life. Making the areas of my life I value most the priority of where I choose to spend my money like, health, experiences, and family. We will spend money differently because we have different priorities, goals, and lifestyles. T
