Hey Reader, Let’s chat. Maybe you’re holding it all together for everyone else — while feeling empty inside.Maybe you’ve gotten so good at doing that you’ve forgotten how to just be. And you might be wondering: “Why do I need this?” “Why now?” Here’s the truth: You don’t need me to find REST.But you might need help making space for it. But you and I both know the problem: There never seems to be ENOUGH TIME. Life is noisy. Demanding. Faith can start to feel like just another thing to check...

#JOYGem For The Week:“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” — Anne Lamott Hey hey Reader, and Happy FriYAYYYYYY! What's on my mind this week: Rest isn’t laziness. It’s leadership. Most women I speak with, coach, and meet are running on fumes — managing a household, building a career, holding it all together —and wondering why they feel burned out. But here’s the thing: Sometimes, doing less is how God prepares you for more. This week’s episode...

Hey hey, Reader! Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?! 😮💨 We’re halfway through 2025 — and if your goals feel a little off or outdated… you’re not alone. If you’ve been feeling off-track, stuck, or unsure about your goals, consider this your mid-year permission slip to pause, reset… and pivot with JOY. Last week, I revisited my VISION B.I.N.G.O. board and had a moment of clarity: Some things I set out to do this year still deeply resonate. Others? Not so much. Yes, there’s...

Happy Hump Day, Reader! How is your month going? And while we’re at it… how’s your mental? We’re still in May — which means it’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and with the attention of Mother’s Day already far in our rear-view, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what it actually means to support women —especially those navigating motherhood and caregiving. 🥹 She selected this sign all on her own. 🥰 What’s on my mind today: The other day, I saw a TikTok from a well-known influencer in...

At the Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 Happy FriYAYYYYY, Reader! At The Friends School of Baltimore Campus w/ the fam - May 2025 May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Last week the family and I headed down to Baltimore for my 20th high school reunion. Crazy – I know! 🙈 With this, and Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’ve been reflecting a lot on the journey I've been on the past 20 years of becoming a woman, and what emotional wellness looks like — especially for...

Happy FriYAYYYYY! 💎This Week’s #JOYGem 💎 You’re not forgotten. You’re being preparing for something greater than you imagined! Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but God still hasn’t moved? Same. I know what it’s like to pray, prepare, stay faithful—and still feel like you’re sitting in the waiting room, wondering if your name will ever be called. But in this week’s Bible study, I was reminded of something powerful: Just because God isn’t moving doesn’t mean He...
