Remembering Your True North If you’ve been feeling unsure of your path lately, questioning who you are or where you’re going, I want you to know something important right away: this doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It may simply mean you’re ready to remember who you really are. Many women reach a season where the life they built no longer feels fully aligned. Children grow up. Careers shift. Roles change. Health evolves. And suddenly, there’s space, and in that space

There’s a kind of exhaustion that doesn’t come from a full calendar, but from carrying too much for too long. It’s the kind that lingers even after rest, the kind that makes simple decisions feel heavy and leaves you wondering why you don’t feel like yourself anymore. When Exhaustion Runs Deeper Than Busyness If you’ve been feeling this way, I want you to hear this clearly: nothing is wrong with you. Many women in my Mindful Simplicity Community aren’t looking for another rou

Have you ever felt like life is racing past you while you’re just trying to keep up? The days blur together. The to-do list never seems to end. And even when you finally sit down at night, your mind is still running. If so, you’re not alone. And maybe, just maybe, it’s time to slow down. But before you picture linen dresses, quiet mornings with no responsibilities, or a perfectly curated life you see online, let me gently say this: Slow living isn’t what you think it is. It i

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

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned on my minimalist journey is this: simple pleasures don’t have to cost much, and often, the cheaper they are, the richer you feel. Minimalism, at its heart, is about removing what isn’t necessary so that the simple becomes exquisite. It shows up in art, music, architecture, and for me… it shows up in everyday living. When I apply this idea to my well-being, everything becomes lighter. I live richly without spending much. I feel satisfie

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,

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately — always rushing, always trying to hold everything together — I see you. You wake up thinking about the to-do list, push yourself through the day, and fall into bed at night wondering why you still feel behind. You’re constantly moving, constantly doing, yet somehow never really resting. I’ve been there too. That place where life looks full on the outside but feels empty inside. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? That’s why today, I want t

If I’ve learned anything on this journey toward simplicity and peace, it’s that contentment is the quiet key to happiness. Not the kind of happiness that comes and goes with circumstances — but the deep, steady kind that lives beneath it all. The kind that doesn’t depend on what I own, how the day unfolds, or what’s happening in the world around me. True contentment gives me the ability to live peacefully in my everyday, no matter what life brings. It steadies my mind and sof

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

"Live your life, take chances, be crazy. Don't wait. Because right now you are the oldest you have ever been and the youngest you'll ever be." - Suzanne Collins This is it! This is the only life you have. Live every moment. Start living fully today. It is the moments now that make up your life. You are where you are in life because of what you chose to do at the moment. Everything that happens in your
