Belonging doesn’t happen by accident.

It grows through small, intentional acts —
• reaching out
• listening deeply
• participating
• tending to our relationship with ourselves

Last spring, I recorded a podcast called Strengthen Your Sense of Belonging. I’ve now created a companion blog to go with it.

Together, they explore how belonging supports mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing — and how we can cultivate it in everyday life.

The podcast is now available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and Amazon Music.

May we each take one small step toward deeper connection this week.

This weekend I volunteered at a music festival in my community.

Music. Art. Conversation. Shared space.

It was a powerful reminder that in times of uncertainty and discord, gathering matters. Connection matters. Belonging matters.

In this week’s newsletter, I reflect on why belonging is foundational to our health, resilience, and sense of steadiness — both personally and in the workplace.

When we feel connected — to ourselves and to one another — we function better. We collaborate better. We

Have you ever wanted to make a change—and noticed another part of you pulling back?

In my latest podcast episode and companion blog, Unlocking Wellness Through Coaching, I explore how health and wellness coaching—informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS)—supports sustainable change by helping us understand, rather than override, our internal system.

This episode is about:
• Why resistance isn’t a failure
• How self-leadership supports wellbeing
• What makes coaching different from therapy
• And how curiosity and steadiness help us move forward

If you’re curious about a more supportive, future-oriented approach to change, you can listen and read here.

Change is something many of us want—and at the same time, something we quietly resist.

This week’s newsletter explores a different way forward through a new blog and podcast episode on coaching, self-leadership, and sustainable wellbeing. Rather than pushing ourselves harder, we look at what becomes possible when we slow down, get curious, and understand our internal patterns.

If you’re navigating change—at work or in life—and want a steadier, more humane approach, you can read and listen here.

https://www.vibrantsoulful.com/post/meeting-the-parts-of-you-that-resist-changeChange is rarely just about knowing what to do.

It’s about understanding the parts of us that resist doing it.

In my latest blog and podcast, Meeting the Parts of You That Resist Change, I explore why resistance isn’t sabotage—and how listening to our inner parts with compassion can create clarity, confidence, and a real path forward.

This approach is especially helpful when it comes to health, wellbeing, boundaries, and habits that feel hard to sustain.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to make a change—and at the very same time, resisting it?

Of course you have.

One part of us wants to move forward. Another part hesitates, feels overwhelmed, or wants to stay where it’s familiar and safe. That inner tension isn’t a failure—it’s information.

This week, I’ve been reflecting on what happens when we stop pushing past those hesitant parts and instead meet them with curiosity and compassion. Often, that’s where real, sustainable change begins.

If this resonates, I shared more in this week’s newsletter and blog.

I’m excited to share that my podcast, Vibrant Soulful Wellness, is now available on more platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music (in addition to Spotify).

The podcast is all about simple, practical ideas for living and working with more ease, presence, and vitality—without adding more to your to-do list.

If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about wellbeing, resilience, and caring for yourself in realistic ways, I hope you’ll give it a listen.

I recorded a new podcast episode to start the year—something gentle, honest, and grounding.

In January, we feel like we can do anything, but then, that feeling fades.

This podcast episode is about why willpower fades, why inner conflict is normal, and how support can change everything when we’re trying to build new habits.

Perfect for a walk, a quiet morning, or a moment to yourself.

January can feel like a mix of excitement and pressure.

Part of us feels motivated and ready for change.
Another part feels tired, hesitant, or overwhelmed.

This week’s newsletter is an invitation to pause and reflect—without judgment—on what you want more of this year, and what kind of support might help you get there.

If you’re craving a kinder, more realistic approach to wellbeing this January, you’re warmly invited to read along.

Save the Date: Vibrant Peru Journey – August 2026

For over 13 years, my husband Steve and I have been returning to the Sacred Valley of Peru—walking its trails, learning from its people, and deepening our relationship with a place that has truly become a second home.

In August 2026, we’ll once again invite a small group to join us for an immersive journey that blends hiking in the Andes, cultural connection, vibrant markets, nourishing Andean cuisine, and optional daily yoga and well-being practices.

This is not fast-paced travel or checklist tourism. It’s an opportunity to explore Peru slowly, thoughtfully, and in community—with space for movement, reflection, and awe.

Details will be shared later this year.
If this journey speaks to you, you can learn more and add your name to the interest list.
