Hi Reader,

There's something I've been wanting to say to you for a while now.

When I started this blog, I was deep in grief. I had lost my mom and my dog Molly close together, and I needed somewhere to put all of it. So I started writing.

For a while I wrote mostly about loss and grief. Then that started to feel heavy, even to me, so I shifted toward finding joy and purpose. Then momentum. Then back again.

If you've been here for any of that, you might have noticed the zigzagging. I just want to name it, because you deserve that honesty.

Here's what I've figured out through all of it.

This space is for real life in midlife. The hard moments, the beautiful ones, and the confusing ones that don't fit neatly into either category. It's honest, it's relatable, and it's for every woman trying to navigate this season with her heart still in it.

That's my why. And it hasn't changed, even when my writing wandered a little.

This week I published two posts that feel very true to that.

The first one is about a book that really hit me in a way that I wasn't expecting. Dear Mel Robbins: You Wrote a Book That Felt Like It Was Written for Me, So I Wrote You Back.​

The second one is quieter and a little harder to write. It's about the things our people leave behind, and what we do with them when a season ends. What Do You Do With the Things They Loved?​

I think you'll feel both of them.

One more thing. I finally built a Start Here page on the blog. If you're ever not sure where to begin, or you want to find the free guide, my products, or anything else in one place, it's all right here.​

I'm glad you're here for this next chapter.

Have a great weekend,

Follow along with me... ​​​
