A major reason for the break was a big transition—I quit my full-time job (which I loved and felt supported in) to join my husband’s startup business doing operations, a role that’s been exciting, nerve-wracking, and challenging as we build from the ground up.

  also did a 30-day Instagram content challenge and learned I can’t force myself into nonstop content systems without spiraling into overwhelm and burnout.

 Between sick kids, birthday parties, my son’s allergy treatment, and ongoing recalibration (including priestess training), I’m reminding myself that ebbs and flows are normal—and I can always come back when I have capacity. I’m feeling inspired to start creating and sharing again, and you’ll be hearing more from me.

In this episode, I share my new approach to the new year, focusing on releasing the pressure of traditional goal setting. Instead, I have embraced a gentler, more grounded ritual of setting 13 intentions and co-creating with the universe, inspired by @thatglasglowwitch.

I discuss the drawbacks of extensive New Year's resolutions and the benefits of reflecting, resting, and aligning with nature's cycles. 

Join me as I explore how this approach has made me feel lighter, more connected, and less overwhelmed as we step into the new year. 

If you’re looking for a more mindful way to start the year, I invite you to consider this method and find a balance between rest and action.

In this especially unscripted episode, I’m sharing what helped me reconnect with joy from the inside out.

We talk about gratitude, seasons of inner work, that deep exhaustion on the spiritual path, and the tiny practices that helped me come home to myself again. And I share something new that’s been coming through for me around community and support.

I’m sharing what burnout really felt like for me, why it’s more than just exhaustion, and how it became my invitation to slow down and rebuild differently. You’ll hear the moment I realized my “dream business” was draining me, the steps I took to reset, and what healing actually looked like in real life (hint: it wasn’t glamorous).

If you’re feeling stretched thin, this is your reminder that burnout isn’t a failure—it’s a message. A gentle nudge to pause, breathe, and listen to what your life is trying to tell you.
