I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my own experience with menopause… and there’s one thing I keep coming back to.

I wish I had understood my body sooner.

For a long time, I was looking at my symptoms like they were problems to fix. Things to fight or push through.

And that’s what most of us are taught, right?

Take something. Suppress it. Move on.

But what I didn’t understand then (and what feels so clear to me now) is that the body doesn’t work like that.

It works in patterns. In rhythms. In relationship with everything around us… including nature.

And when I started to see my body that way; not as something separate, but something in sync with my environment...it changed everything.

There was less urgency to fix, and more curiosity to understand.
And honestly, if I could go back and change one thing, it would be this:

I would have supported my digestion sooner.

Because now I can see how much it was influencing everything.
Sleep, energy, mood, weight, all of it.

And trust that the healing didn’t happen in a dramatic overnight way… but in a steady, little-changes-bring-big-results-over-time kind of way.

Just something that has been on my mind.

I think if more women knew this we would go easier on ourselves.

This wind swept selfie was the only pic I captured at last night’s full moon sound bath at ✨

I love connecting with the locals who return each month, as well as meeting new friends who have traveled here from far away places.

Each time I offer these sound journeys over the sea there is always a teary moment where I am overcome with gratitude.

This life.
Those views.
The waves.

The world is hurting right now, and every moment of rest we can find is precious.

Next full moon will be May 1st, join us!

We just wrapped our first Gather & Glow ~ A Women’s Wellness Series… and something shifted.

Real talk, shared experiences, and that moment where women realize they’re not broken—they just needed the right understanding.

This is why I do this.

Now more than ever, we need spaces like this.
No phones. Just human connection. And amazing ocean views!

Radiant Return: A Glow Getters Women’s Retreat this June at is a deeper version of this work with the same views—and spots are limited.

If you’ve been thinking about it… don’t wait too long.

Details in my bio. 🤍

Still smiling from our first session of Gather & Glow ~ A Women’s Wellness Series ✨

We had real conversations, lots of laughter, and some powerful “aha” moments around menopause and understanding our bodies.

One of the women shared this after:

“If only all women had a chance to get this support and knowledge, menopause would be embraced in a whole other way…”

That’s exactly why I do this work.

If you’ve been having these conversations with your friends… come join us for the next one on April 18 🌿

“I wish I had said yes to the Mexico retreat.”

That was one of the messages I kept receiving after sharing photos from Radiant Return last November.

Women arrived feeling tired, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.

But by the end of the retreat something had shifted.

Their shoulders dropped.
Their minds felt clearer.
Their bodies finally made sense again.

That’s what happens when you step away from the noise of everyday life and give yourself the space to reconnect.

And this year, we’re doing it again.

But this time… in Belize. 🌺

Imagine waking up to the sound of the sea, sunrise over the horizon, sharing beautiful meals together, and spending your days immersed in practices designed to help you reconnect with your body and your inner wisdom.

Everything is thoughtfully taken care of:

• accommodations
• meals and drinks
• the retreat experiences we’ll share together

Once you arrive, you can simply relax and be held in the experience.

Because this retreat is intentionally intimate, spaces are limited.

Registration opens to the public tomorrow, and if Radiant Return has been on your heart, this might be your moment.

Life is too short to postpone the experiences that nourish your soul.

✨ Radiant Return Retreat – Belize June 24-28
✨ Registration opens publicly tomorrow

I would love to welcome you here.
