There’s something sacred about this time of year on the farm.
The hum of the tractor, the smell of freshly turned soil, and the quiet knowing that what’s being planted today won’t show its promise for weeks. Maybe months.

My husband is out in the fields now, planting soybeans—corn will come next. A...

There’s something about spring that makes us pause. The air feels lighter, the light lingers a little longer, and suddenly the idea of "becoming" starts to surface again.

It’s not always about big change. Sometimes it’s just the quiet nudge to reconnect—with ourselves, with what matters, with the p...

There’s a quiet pull this time of year—a tug to open the windows, clear out what’s stale, and let something new begin to grow. But sometimes the mess isn’t just in the junk drawer or the closet… it’s in our thoughts, our habits, our calendars, or even our relationships.

Spring is the perfect time t...

I don’t know exactly when it happened, but somewhere along the way, my friends and I talk less about the latest trends and have started swapping stories about our (she says in a whisper) "aches and pains." (Now picture Charlie Brown's AAUGH!!!)

Instead of “Did you see the new fall boots?” it’s “I t...

Not every conversation, request, or expectation needs your attention right now. Read that again.

We live in a world that constantly pulls at us: emails, texts, people needing “just a minute” of our time. It’s easy to feel like we have to respond to everything, say yes to everyone, and carry more th...

Life moves fast. Too fast, sometimes. We get so caught up in where we should be going that we rarely stop to take in where we actually are.

But today, I want you to pause. Just for a moment.

Where are you right now? Not just physically, but emotionally, mentally? No judgment, no pressure to fix an...

I turned 60 last year. A milestone, yes—but also a moment of reflection. After two decades as a trainer, consultant, speaker, and business coach, I found myself at a familiar crossroads. The same place I’ve seen so many women stand before: What’s next?

Starting something new at this stage wasn’t ex...

For a long time, I felt like I had lost something.

I had spent years pouring into my work, my responsibilities, and everything that needed to get done. And somewhere along the way, friendships—the deep, true kind—slipped to the edges. It wasn’t that I didn’t want them. It was just… life.

Then one ...

No one ever really prepares you for this.

One day, the roles begin to shift. The people who once took care of you now need you to care for them. And somewhere in the middle of doctor’s appointments, financial decisions, late-night worries, and the small but endless daily tasks, you wonder—how do I ...

At some point, we pick up the idea that career changes come with an expiration date. Maybe it was something we overheard—“It’s too late to start over”—or maybe it was our own fear whispering, “What if this doesn’t work?” But here’s the thing: that’s just not true.

You are not behind. You are not st...
