Happy New Year ✨

One of my favorite ways to begin a new year is by choosing a Word of the Year.

Not a resolution.

Not a goal to chase.

But a word that becomes a quiet anchor. Something you return to when life gets busy, noisy, or overwhelming.

A word has a way of shaping how you make decisions.
It influences what you say yes to… and what you let go of.

It becomes a simple reminder of what matters most to you.

If you’re not sure how to find your word, here’s a gentle way to begin:
• Look back on the last year...what felt hard, heavy, or draining?
• Notice what you’re craving more of...ease, clarity, vitality, connection, rest, courage.
• Ask yourself: “What quality do I want guiding my choices this year?”

Let the word come from your body, not your head.

The right word often brings a sense of relief, steadiness, or quiet excitement when you hear it.

My word for 2026 is RECEIVE—a reminder of how I want to move through this year and what I’m available for.

💬 I’d love to hear yours.

What word is calling to you for 2026? Share it in the comments or send me a message.

And if choosing a word opens up a deeper desire for support...around your health, energy, or the way you’re living this season, I’m always happy to have a conversation and explore what might help.

Here’s to a year that feels intentional, grounded, and true. 🌿

The New Year doesn’t need more pressure.
It needs more presence.

Instead of resolutions, I’m offering something different this year...a weekly question.

One thoughtful prompt.
One pause.
One moment to listen inward.

Each week in 2025, I’ll be sharing a reflection inspired by a beautiful deck of journaling cards...questions meant not to be answered quickly, but lived into.

✨ This is Radical Reflections

52 questions. One year of conscious living.

This week’s invitation:
👉 What would you most like to accomplish in the next 12 months?

As a new year unfolds, it’s natural to think about what we want to create.

But this question isn’t about hustle or proving anything.

It’s an invitation to listen more deeply.

What feels genuinely meaningful to you, not impressive, not urgent, just true?

Let your answer come from a place of alignment rather than obligation.

Sometimes what we long to accomplish is really about how we want to feel.

No fixing.
No forcing.
Just honest noticing.

If you feel called, take a few minutes today to sit with this question.

Journal. Walk. Breathe. Let your body answer before your mind does.

And if you’d like, share one word below that captures what you’re releasing.

We don’t have to do this year alone. 🤍

Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish.

It’s sacred.

Sacred Selfishness means responding to your body before burnout, inflammation, or exhaustion sets in.

Some bodies need rhythm.
Some need nervous system support.
Some need detox and elimination.
Some need mindset and emotional resilience.

There’s no one right path...only the one your body is asking for now.

Listening is the first step.

Craving a hot cup of cocoa while watching your favorite holiday movies?

I’ve got a recipe for protein cocoa that’s rich, creamy, decadent, and won’t give you an energy crash an hour after drinking it.

Craving something warm and comforting while you curl up with your favorite holiday movie? ☕✨

This Protein Hot Cocoa is rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying, without the blood-sugar spike and crash that leaves you more tired, irritable, and snacky an hour later.

It’s especially nourishing for women in their 40s and 50s navigating perimenopause, when stable energy, steady mood, and blood-sugar balance matter more than ever.

Peppermint Protein Hot Cocoa
(serves 1)
You’ll need:
• 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 scoop chocolate or unflavored protein powder
• 1 tsp ground flaxseed
• ½ tsp peppermint extract
• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or raw honey
• Pinch of sea salt
Optional (because pleasure matters):
Coconut whipped cream + a light sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy

How to make it:
Warm the milk gently in a small saucepan until steaming (not boiling). Whisk in cocoa, protein powder, flax, peppermint, sweetener, and salt until silky smooth. Pour into your favorite mug, add toppings if desired, and sip slowly.

Why your body will love it:
~220 calories
28g protein
Blood-sugar steady
Hormone-friendly
Deeply comforting

This is the kind of ritual that supports your body and your nervous system—simple, grounding, and delicious.

✨ Save this one for a cozy night in.
Your hormones will thank you.

On Christmas Eve, I don’t want to give you another thing to do.

I want to offer you permission.
Permission to:
• Feel full
• Feel tired
• Feel tender
• Feel exactly how you feel

Nothing has gone wrong.

The holidays naturally shift our rhythms, and your body is responding with intelligence, not failure.

This is where Sacred Selfishness begins.
Not with fixing.
Not with discipline.
But with listening.

Tonight, take a breath.
Let your shoulders drop.
Trust your body.

There will be time after the holidays for clarity, care, and gentle recalibration.

For now — simply be.

Let me say something that might feel radical:

Caring for yourself deeply and consistently is not selfish.

It’s sacred.

I call this Sacred Selfishness.

It’s the practice of tending to your body, nervous system, and energy before you’re depleted, not after you’ve hit the wall.

This is why I’ve woven certain supports into my own life and work:
• Daily rhythms that ground the body
• Nervous system regulation
• Emotional resilience practices
• In-person and online tools that help the body feel safe

These aren’t luxuries.

They’re how we live well in demanding times.

Especially during the holidays, your body doesn’t need discipline or punishment.

It needs attunement.

And that begins by listening.

There’s a story that gets told every December:
“Everyone gains 10 pounds over the holidays.”

That story creates more stress than truth.
What most women feel this time of year isn’t weight gain ...it’s inflammation, water retention, slower digestion, and disrupted rhythms.

❅ Late nights.
❅ More sugar or alcohol.
❅ Less movement.
❅ Different routines.

Your body isn’t failing, it’s responding intelligently.
This is why I focus on daily deposits, not restriction:
💧 Water
🚶‍♀️ Gentle movement
🥦 Real food
😴 Protecting sleep

One small act of care at a time keeps your system regulated...even during busy, beautiful seasons.
Nothing to fix.

Just something to tend.
✨ Your body knows the way.

Many women move seamlessly from raising children
to caring for aging parents, with no real pause in between.

Different roles.

Same self-erasure.

A client recently shared something very honest with me. She told me she was feeling really low, and that it felt like her only purpose in life was to get her son to adulthood. After that, she couldn’t see what was left for her. What she knew for sure was that she didn’t want to keep feeling the level of suffering she was in.

If that lands somewhere in your body, you’re not alone.

So many women reach a moment like this, especially in the post-mothering years, or while stepping into the role of caretaker for a parent, where the giving never stops, but the sense of self quietly disappears.

If you’re tired, disconnected, or quietly overwhelmed, you didn’t fail.

You didn’t fall off the wagon.

You lost touch with yourself while caring deeply for others.

Sometimes the way back doesn’t start with what do I want?

It starts with courageously naming what you don’t want anymore.
The depletion.
The guilt.
The suffering you’ve learned to normalize.

This is the heart of Sacred Selfishness—
choosing yourself as sacred again so you can care without disappearing.

I’m enrolling women now into Sacred Selfishness 10, especially those who are:
✨ post-mothering
✨ navigating parent-care
✨ and ready to reclaim clarity, vitality, and meaning

There’s no formal page yet...this work begins in conversation.

If this resonates, you don’t have to explain your whole story here.
You can simply comment “interested” or send me a private message.

We’ll have a gentle, honest conversation to see what support
would feel most nourishing for you right now.

Your next chapter isn’t about giving more.
It’s about staying whole. 🌿

Your body keeps score, and not just of the hard things.

It keeps score of every moment you choose yourself.
Every pause.
Every breath.
Every tiny act of nourishment.
💧 drinking water with presence
😴 letting yourself rest
🌿 stepping outside for fresh air
🧘 placing a hand on your heart
💛 softening your shoulders and letting tension go

These small moments don’t look like transformation…but they feel like coming home.

I call them Radical Rituals — micro-practices that gently reset your nervous system, reconnect you to your truth, and anchor you back into receiving.

And this January, I’m leading a 10-day Sacred Selfishness Reset: a soft, powerful reawakening designed for women in midlife who want to begin the year with restoration rather than pressure.

This reset will help you:
✨ rebuild energy after the holidays
✨ clear emotional residue
✨ soothe your nervous system
✨ reconnect to your desires
✨ ground into your body
✨ open to receiving without guilt
✨ set the REAL tone for your year

It’s simple, soulful, and feels like a daily retreat.

Just 10 days.
Gentle guidance.
Beautiful shifts.

What’s one Radical Ritual you can start today?
🪙 Three deep breaths
🪙 A moment of stillness
🪙 A hand on your heart
🪙 A whispered “I choose me”

If you want early access to the January Sacred Selfishness Reset, drop a “💗” or message me privately.
