next month looks different...[SIE💡]
I love writing contemporaneous thoughts here in the opening of the weekly SIE issue. It gives me the chance to put what's on my mind and what I'm navigating through front and center.
But April is going to look different around here.
I'm taking the entire month of April off.
I can't wait to tell you what I'm doing when May rolls around, but for now, it's time to take a sabbatical from all things online business.
On April 1st, I'm taking email and all social media apps off my phone.
But don't worry - the weekly SIE will still have the best work better/live well tips I've found for you (they'll just be pre-scheduled).
See you in May, my friends. 😘

Several weeks ago I had to opportunity to connect with a fellow Sunday newsletter writer - Irena Spegar of The Boonly. I don’t recall exactly how I found her, but when I subscribed to The Boonly and got my first issue in my Inbox, I knew we were kindred spirits. Sundays for me are about reflecting, intentional and slow living, basking in nourishing routines, and resetting my mind and body for the week ahead. And when I started reading Irena’s newsletter, I knew she felt the same. The Boonly...
I realized last week that I missed sending Mother's Day wishes in last week's SIE and I didn't say a word about turning 43 last Wednesday.

It was an interview format, and my interviewer guided me through a bit about my childhood, my first career as a Special Agent, then creating a job as the social media manager with Megadeth, and my entrepreneurial journey. One of the threads was how as an adult I constantly found myself questioning the status quo. Do I actually need to jump through this hoop? Do I need to stay in a job with great benefits and gravitas that is taking...
