Hello! The Aligned Sanctuary Retreat was every bit as special as I'd dreamt it would be. I'm still coming down from the excitement (and resting my feet!). What a lovely experience it was to host eight special women in my home, share knowledge with them, and actually see the shifts and a-ha moments happen right in front of me. There's really nothing like watching someone look around a room and suddenly see it differently. And of course, there was plenty of spoiling, too. Good food, good...

Hello! I read something years ago in Gay Hendricks' book The Big Leap that has stuck with me ever since: right before you're about to uplevel, do something big, or step into something meaningful, there's often a hiccup. It's not a sign to stop, but more like your body and your life doing one last check-in. Asking you..."Are you sure you want this?" Well, this week gave me a very real taste of that. Our washer and dryer reached the end of their life... totally normal, no big deal. Except the...

Greetings! Eighteen years ago this week, I married my best friend. Don and I don't do anything extravagant for our anniversary, that's not really been us. Just a nice quiet dinner together. Every year though I do find myself wanting to mark it in some way at home. This year, that meant giving our master bedroom a proper sparkle. I cleared the surfaces, freshened the linens, and set out a pair of small red candles on the dresser. That room happens to sit in the love and relationship area of...

Hello! I have some fun news to share before we get into this week's episode: Aligned at Home is now on the shelves of a few wonderful independent bookstores! I'll be sharing more about who they are and how you can visit (or order) very soon, so keep an eye on my social media over the next week or two for all the details. It feels especially fitting to share that news this week, because this episode is a big one. We're closing out year three of Feng Shui Living podcast and stepping into year...

Hello! Full disclosure, my husband and I went on our first bike ride of the summer... at the very end of August! We got rained on, of course, but we still had a great time. No clever tie-in today, I just had to share. In this week's episode… it's a fire horse year check-in. I'm sharing how this year has actually played out for me and for several clients, plus a few journal prompts and grounding tips to help you close out this fiery season with intention as we move into fall. Journal prompts...

Hello! I love it when a conversation on the podcast validates something I already believe in my bones. This week's guest, Ashley Murphy, co-founder of NEAT Method, did exactly that. Ashley started as an in-home personal trainer, and one day she noticed something...her client's disorganized kitchen wasn't just an eyesore. It was quietly working against everything they were trying to accomplish together. That observation grew into a company that's now in over 100 markets. We got into why the...

Hello! My friend Kate reached out this morning. Her oldest daughter is heading off to her first year of college this fall, and I could tell Kate was feeling both excited for her and a little unsteady about the shift ahead. It felt like perfect timing for this episode to land. If you're navigating that same kind of transition, I'd love to help you find some grounding. I have a few free 15-minute discovery calls open this week — reach out and let's talk. This week's episode is five quick, easy...

Hello! Big news first: the Aligned Sanctuary retreat is officially sold out. We filled all eight spots in just three weeks, and I’m still a little stunned by how quickly it happened. If you applied and haven’t heard back yet, don’t count yourself out...life happens, plans shift, and I’ll be working through a waitlist if any spots open. You can still apply on the website under the retreat tab. And if you’re on that list when September rolls around, you’ll get first access to the next one...

Hello! Can we be honest with each other for a second? Between the busier schedules, the travel, and all the fun summer events, my own house has felt a little more ‘lived in’ than usual lately. Shoes by the door, mail on the counter... you know the drill. Summer just has a different energy, doesn't it? That's exactly what inspired this week's episode. Summer connects to the fire element in Feng Shui: high energy, constant motion, in and out the door. It makes total sense that our homes start...
