I’ve Been Keeping a Secret… Let’s Talk!


Wellness In Every Season

Dearest Reader,

How's your day going today? How are you feeling in this moment? It's self check-in time! How are your body and mind feeling? Anything screaming for attention?

I was in a car accident Tuesday, so a lot is screaming at me. Thankfully I was alone in our van when it happened, but it also meant I had to figure out a way to get our youngest picked up from preschool while I figured things out with the person who hit my van. Now that you know about me, how are you really feeling? What need do you have that you are ignoring?

Now what I really want to tell you about.

I’ve been working on something behind the scenes, and I’m finally ready to share it with you! Over the past few months, I’ve been going through a massive rebrand as I step more fully into my role as a parenting mentor. And I realized something important: this space needs to feel welcoming and supportive for everyone.

What does this mean for you? It means that the programs, podcasts, and content you’ll see moving forward will be more inclusive and well-rounded. We’ll dive into topics not just for moms, but for dads, non-binary individuals, and even those who aren’t parents but are striving for balance and wellness in their lives. I’ve learned so much from working with people across all walks of life, and I want to bring those insights directly to you.

But don’t worry, moms—I’m still right here for you! Because I am a mom, there will still be plenty of content tailored specifically to moms. Most of the newsletter goodies will continue to focus on mom life and wellness, while others will touch on business-related topics that I know many of you love. All of my programs, newsletters, and podcast episodes will still be relatable to moms and the unique challenges you face. Some of my programs will even remain exclusive to moms, like Stay-at-Home Mom to Dream Job Mom, EmpowHERing Your Success, and Reclaim Your Time, Renew Your Spirit.

Until I either host a newsletter bundle myself or find collaborations that expand their reach beyond mothers, moms will continue to be a central part of my community. This transition is about creating a space where everyone feels seen and supported, but your experience and journey will always have a home here.

I’d love to hear from you during this exciting transition! I’ve built this community just for you, so I want to make sure it’s giving you exactly what you need. Hit reply and let me know what topics, programs, or support you most want to see. In fact, I have an exclusive online community free from social media algorithms where you can connect and share in a safe space. You can get free access by joining the EmpowHER program.

As you reflect on this new direction, here are three journaling questions to help you uncover what you might need right now:

Journal Prompt time:

  1. What areas of my life feel most in need of support—wellness, parenting, career, or something else?
  2. If I could create a new habit or routine that would make my days more balanced, what would it be?
  3. What kind of topics, stories, or advice do I wish I heard more about in this community?

Thank you for being a part of this journey and for embracing this new direction with me. I can’t wait to see what we’ll build together!
