The other night, my husband asked what I was doing on my phone because tears were rolling down my face. I looked over and told him the truth: “I’m on Instagram watching videos of dogs—some have just 24 hours to be adopted or they’ll be euthanized.” 😭 Usually, when people think about “finding themselves,” they […]

In my last note, I shared how vision boards actually help us achieve our goals. But if today you’re feeling like me—overwhelmed by end-of-year tasks and not even wanting to THINK about new goals—today’s Tea Time isn’t about adding anything new to your to-do list. We’re talking about what can come off the list. Woo! December is already full by […]

Last week I led my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop in person with a group of inspiring women at the historic Rainier Club in Seattle. We enjoyed delicate tea sandwiches, macarons, and a champagne toast, creating the kind of space where sharing your biggest dreams is celebrated. I walked the group through my unique framework, each activity building […]

My 3-year-old asked to stay home with me this morning. (Usually he goes to Montessori preschool.) It’s tough to get much done when he’s home. He wants me to play with him and pay attention (the nerve! 😜). Part of me wanted to say, “Just go to school,” but another part reminded me, “This is […]

So, what if the key to manifesting your next big life change is hidden in my Halloween party story? 2.5 years ago, before I even moved to Seattle, I predicted the night in the photo below. I’m sharing the full story with you because my process is your blueprint. This past Saturday I was at the annual […]

OMG, I am so giddy right now; I can’t stop smiling. 😄 There is a private chef in my kitchen right now. As I’m typing, I can hear the sound of pots and pans clinking downstairs, and I am celebrating one of the photos on my vision board coming true.  I follow a few private […]

The scene: Woman behind me at the airport, struggling to scan her ticket to board the flight. Airport gate agent: Are you flying Aer Lingus? Woman: Yes Airport gate agent: This is the line for United. …Oh. We’d all been in line for over 20 minutes in Dublin at the flight gate heading to Chicago. […]

What if the things that make Disney magical are the same things proven to boost our physical and mental health—AND actually help us avoid the biggest regrets people have on their deathbeds? Today’s Tuesday Tea Time was inspired by this therapist who recommends Disneyland as a mental health strategy. 🎉 If you’ve been around me for a […]

I slid into an MRI machine yesterday…not because I knew something was wrong, but because I wanted to know before something was wrong. The company, Prenuvo, calls it “proactive health.” A full-body scan that can flag issues early, before they become serious. The scan I chose took about 45 minutes. It was loud with beeps and buzzing, […]

I don’t feel like writing a note about happiness and thriving right now. I feel…all kinds of other things. Stuck. Sad. Scared. Angry. So, I thought I’d share what I do when I’m feeling this way in case it helps even one person. We benefit from taking space and processing those negative feelings. Moving through them. And […]
