I tend to experience a pretty big slow-down with business this time of year.
It makes sense—days are longer, temps are warmer, the pace is slower + life just feels a little bit easier. For the most part, people are happier. To me, this is such a testament to how much our environments impact our mood☀️
And I’m all about taking full advantage of the good times while they’re here🙋🏼♀️So with summer’s unofficial kick-off weekend starting tomorrow, I hope you get outside + soak it all in⛱😎

Women are feeling more isolated than ever these days.
With lots of people working from home, traveling for work or staying home with their kids, so many are feeling disconnected. On top of that—it can just be hard to make friends as an adult! All of this loneliness negatively impacts our physical + mental health in so many ways.
But I’ve got the fix! This is just one of the areas I’m covering in my self-study course coming later this year.

Are We Missing The Point Of Self-Care? Here's What I Think - Mind Body It’s safe to say that self-care is IN these days. is trending on Instagram and women everywhere are posting pictures of themselves being pampered.

Two weeks ago my world was forever changed when our daughter, River, was born. And two days later, my world completely stopped when she passed away peacefully in our arms.
__
Our sweet River left an imprint on the hearts of more people in her short time here than a lot of us will in a lifetime. She’s had a star named after her, trees planted in her honor, and her ashes scattered in the water during a paddle out ceremony surrounded by everyone we love (pictured). From the sea to the sky, River’s beauty is everywhere and her spirit lives on. She continues to teach us about living with grace, strength and courage, and I’ll forever strive to live like River. I’m so proud to be her mom, and I’m so grateful to be the wife of my superhero husband.
__
These past couple weeks, the community that surrounds us showed up in a big way: from family and friends who helped us with overwhelming tasks, nurses and doctors who went above and beyond for us, all those who traveled across the country to celebrate River’s life, and everyone else who dropped everything to be there for our family. Your love continues to carry us and we are forever grateful for your continued support. To all of you, thank you.
