What’s Next? Finding Your Way Through Holiday Grief, Heartbreak & Heavy Seasons
The holidays have a way of putting a spotlight on everything we’ve been trying to quietly carry. The empty chairs at the table. The relationship we prayed would last.

Finding the Beauty in Tuesdays: Turning “Just Another Day” into a Power Day
Let’s be real for a second; Tuesday doesn’t always get the love it deserves. Monday gets all the motivation quotes, Wednesday gets the “halfway there” energy, and Friday… well, Friday is everybody’s favorite child. But I’ve come to realize something: Tuesday is actually one of the most powerful days of the week … if you learn how to use it right. See, Monday might start your week, but Tuesday is where you set the tone . It’s the day you get your rhythm going. The rush of Mond
