Happy New Year ~ however this moment finds you. I took two weeks completely off this holiday season, which was such a gift.

Each December, I sit down to write this email—my favorite of the year—the one where I look back, reflect, and share my highlights (and lowlights) from the past twelve months.

May this find you wrapped in the ease, comfort, connection, and love that you desire and deserve during this holy time of year. Happy Solstice and Holiday Season!

You may have seen that I officially opened the doors to my new program, The Outgrown Identity Club™: Activate Your Next Chapter—A 4-month supportive group container for women leaders navigating transition and cultivating a deeper purpose. We start in January and enrollment is happening now.

I am going to talk about something bold that most people tiptoe around. This isn’t to fear-monger you, but to be in service to you—with the hope that you might actually feel some relief. Staying “comfy” in an unfulfilling high-paying role can ultimately be one of your most risky moves of all.

It’s always an honor for me to be a guest on a podcast where I can drop in, and have an honest, spacious conversation about the things most of us are quietly thinking but rarely name out loud. Especially with a sister. And, especially when it relates to Love.

As we enter Thanksgiving week, I have been reflecting on the quieter parts of gratitude. The complicated, beautiful ways that we give thanks for not only the joys and blessings, but also for the chapter, identity, and role we are outgrowing.

My beloved Dad, an entrepreneur himself, has always been a champion of my work. He’s given me wise business counsel, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout my journey. But back in the day, when I told him I was thinking of selling my Kids Yoga business he said, “You’re crazy! You have a good thing going!!”

On Monday, tears came out of nowhere. Peri-menopause is a wild ride. It’s puffy this, achy that, and emotions that sneak up and take over. But what I was really grieving is the woman I used to be.

After I sold my 21-year-old Kids Yoga business, I knew that in order to truly transition into my next chapter, I had to dismantle my old identity with intention. For me, it meant ritual.

Last Friday, I led an online workshop for my new body of work, The Outgrown Identity Club. Days later, my heart is still lit up and alive with inspiration.

Tomorrow (Friday, October 24th) I am leading a workshop, The Outgrown Identity Club Workshop: Women Leaders Creating Deeper Meaning in Their Next Chapter. There are 87 courageous women who have said YES to this intimate, deep, and experiential journey.
There’s still time to join us and step into a powerful community space where you’ll learn to navigate your transitions as you create meaningful change.

Last Sunday, my dear friend, ally, and former Kids Yoga biz bestie, Lisa Flynn, and I had an epic reunion in Portugal. Lisa is someone I’ve always admired. She’s been a pioneer in bringing Yoga into classrooms, a savvy business woman, a present loving mom, a contributing community member, and an all-around well-loved human.

I am offering a new workshop about navigating transitions. It’s called, The Outgrown Identity Club: Women Leaders Creating Deeper Meaning in Their Next Chapter happening October 24th.

Have you ever felt as if you’re living someone else’s story? Maybe you’ve built a beautiful life with a respected career, well-worn roles, and a resume that looks perfect on paper. People admire your discipline and drive. And yet, inside, there’s a whisper. A secret longing. A honest inquiry, “Is this really it for me?”

My beloved client Steph has it going on! She’s got a high-paying tech job, lives in a beautiful home in the Bay Area, raised two extraordinary young women, has cute designer dogs, an elegant car, and is well loved by many. But! Inside herself, underneath all that success, Steph feels a bit empty inside.

I am so excited to introduce you to something new that I have not only been pouring my heart into with my clients—but also, experiencing personally myself.

So many of the women I work with who are navigating transitions, outgrowing old identities, and moving toward greater alignment are craving the same thing: deeper meaning.

These times are not business as usual. When I sat down to write you this week, I just had to do something different.

Last week I connected with Robyn who I know through my coach’s community.

After two months in California, enjoying quality time with my Boo—I am home in Portugal.

I have the honor of working with incredible mid-life women like Susie who is 51. Susie came to me seeking more meaning in her life and work.

You’ve heard me mention my boo before, but today, I want to share a bit more about him. His name is Will, and yes, I call him WillBoo.

You likely know that I spent 21 years devoted to pioneering the Kids Yoga movement. This work was deeply rewarding—not only as sacred purpose, but also by traditional measures of success.

There often comes a time in the life of a successful woman when her outer success no longer matches her inner world.

When I moved to Portugal to live in alignment with my values—I was scared.
When I sold Next Generation Yoga and stepped into the unknown—I was terrified.
When I claimed coaching as my full-time career—I was fearful.

If you’re standing at a threshold between what has been and what is yet to come and you’re hearing a whisper calling you forward—you’re not alone.

After I sold my business and took an overseas sabbatical, I was both super excited to pause from working and at the same time, scared AF.

(But you know something needs to change)
