Vignettes of a Woman
I write because I believe our shared stories help us to connect to our own truth. When one woman shares her story, we all heal. So I get raw and vulnerable about the challenges of being a woman leader. I write about business, chronic illness, loss, grief, mid-life, my mother, my daughter, how I heal, how I connect, and the wisdom I find in my wounds. I write so you can feel less alone on your journey.

Do you say Yes, even when every part of your body Quivers and shakes with No? Do you hold back from your dreams and singing your […]

The Practice is… To show up just as you are, imperfect, messy, raw and beautiful. To find stillness, even in the storms. To be open and vulnerable, because there you will find you are not alone. To say No. To commit to yourself over and over again. To ask for what you need. To remember […]

I've led thousands of women back to themselves and to a truer life. As a business owner and mother of two teenagers, I know what it’s like to hold the weight of multiple worlds, and how easy it is to abandon yourself in the overwhelm.
Through my own transformation and 20 years of working closely with women, I developed The Practice®, a feminine spiritual system that teaches women leaders how to reclaim their lives and live without self-sacrifice.
Sanctuary Sunday
Sanctuary Sunday is a sacred touch point where we come together as women and remember our truth. We get quiet, dive underneath the noise and chaos, and listen to our own voice. We refuel and reclaim our lives through deep guided meditation, journaling, and connection. We gain inspiration to step more fully into who we truly are.
