In this episode, I'm sharing my journey of simplifying life and embracing less, especially as a mom. I reflect on the challenges of creating content that feels authentic and relatable, moving away from the polished, expert-led narratives that dominate online spaces.

I'm also discussing how I've been exploring Substack as a means to foster community and creativity, offering a more genuine connection with you.

Tune in to hear about my recent family vacation, the lessons learned and how I'm finding joy in doing less & focusing on what truly matters.

If May always seems to pile up faster than you can keep up, you’re not imagining it. Between the end of the school year, Mother’s Day, and all the little extras that show up this time of year, it’s a lot—emotionally & logistically.

In this episode, I’m sharing why this season tends to feel so heavy, what’s helped me move through it with less pressure, and a few ideas you might want to borrow if you’re craving a softer start to summer. If you’re already feeling stretched thin, this is your invitation to pause, get clear & make space for what matters most.

✨ If you’re looking for extra support to make May feel lighter, A Calm Start to May is available now. It’s a simple, reflective resource to help you clear mental space, anticipate what’s ahead & ease some of the invisible load you’re managing.
