Sunday Blog

Hello there and happy Sunday from Cape Cod!

I’m sitting here in the morning listening to the birds and sipping coffee – my favorite way to start the day.

This week, I began a new job at The Snowy Owl coffee shop, and I’m loving it. If there’s one thing I’ve come to appreciate in this nomadic entrepreneurial life, it’s that a little structure goes a long way. I knew I needed more structure in my days. While I love my work in coaching, reiki, and events, I was putting too much pressure on myself to be ‘productive,’ which was becoming stressful and less enjoyable.

Now, I have a few days a week dedicated to my coaching business and a few spent at the coffee shop. It’s a nice balance as I continue to grow my coaching practice.

Speaking of growth, I’m excited to announce that my first retreat is in the books! I’ll be hosting it with Jessica Knight, my friend, mentor, and first-ever Life Coach. It’s scheduled for this September, on the weekend of the autumn equinox – all about balance! More details to come.

Highlights:

• Read a book I loved: “A River Enchanted” by Rebecca Ross. Check it out if you enjoy strong female leads, mystery, nature, and a touch of fantasy.
• Started a new job!
• Planned a retreat!
• Took a plunge in the freezing cold ocean!
