Recently I took a little road trip to visit friends and family. At first, I thought the best part would be the change of scenery and the break from my routine. Or maybe even leaving my grown son to fend for himself. (I mean buh-bye 👋 to sorting thru any more of his dirty laundry!) And while […]

When was the last time you felt lit up? And I don’t mean busy, productive, or ticking boxes off on your to‑do list… I mean deeply, honestly lit up — in that joyful, “I‑love-my-life” kinda way. For me it happened earlier this year in Puerto Escondido, Mexico… On the rooftop of my small hotel. Chatting

There comes a moment in so many of our lives when we wake up and realize: “I can’t keep living like this.” Maybe you feel stuck on autopilot, exhausted from people‑pleasing… Or quietly carrying a truth you haven’t dared to say out loud. I’ve been there too — and what I’ve learned is this: it’s

I was sitting at my desk with a pounding headache. Colourful post-it notes everywhere. Each one with a potential business name scribbled on it… Then scratched out. It was 2013. I’d just finished a self-employment program and was trying to launch my very first business. (A virtual assistant gig, in case you’re wondering) After years

From the outside everything looked “fine.” But behind the scenes? I was tired. Disconnected. Sad. And wondering: Is this all there is? Flashback to 2017. I was in a job that absolutely drained me. I knew it wasn’t the life I wanted — but I didn’t know what else to do. So most days, I’d

A long time ago… In a drive-in theatre far, far away… (Kamloops, BC, Canada to be exact) I saw Star Wars for the very first time. I was completely awestruck by the story, characters, and those mind-blowing (at the time!) special effects. But what impressed me the most? The Force. ✨ That invisible powerful energy that could guide you.

There was a time when I believed if I wanted something done “right,” I had to do it myself. And not just little things like the dishes or how the towels got folded — but everything. As a single parent, I wore every hat: Mom, dad, breadwinner, cook, cleaner, planner. Fixer and feeler-of-all-the-things. I didn’t give

It’s wild how we can feel so energized one minute… And then totally flat a few weeks later. February in Mexico meant sunshine, ocean walks, and vibrant people.🌞 And a kind of buzz that made me feel awake and alive in the best way. It reminded me of how good life can feel when I’m truly connected

It’s been one of those weeks. Low energy. Zero inspiration. And feeling kinda off. My inner mean girl’s been running the show — like she’s the boss of me. “You’re not doing enough.” “Why are you so tired?” “Stop your whining!” Sound familiar? Three of my friends said they’ve been feeling the same way… Flat,

I was chatting with a friend the other day about how we can live in a way that feels more real. More authentic. More us. We talked about how easy it is to get stuck in the day-to-day. Just going through the motions… Staying in our comfort zones… And doing what’s expected of us. (yawn) 🥱
