From Burnout to Breakthrough: My Story and what happened next...

Hello Reader,

I hope your week is going well. I know a lot is going on, and I will address that in our newsletter on Friday. But I want to share some great news with you. As I have told you before, there was a time in my life when I was a completely different person, and something had to change. I got a big wake-up call.

In 2015, I sat in urgent care, unable to breathe.
The diagnosis was pneumonia, but the truth was deeper than that. I had reached the edge. My body had finally said what my heart had been whispering for years. I was burned out, completely.

I had pushed through for so long, believing I had no other option. I showed up for everyone else, smiled when I wanted to cry, and kept moving because I thought rest would make everything fall apart.

That day changed everything.

I realized I couldn’t live like that anymore.
But I also knew that fixing my life wasn’t as simple as setting new goals or lighting candles and calling it self-care. I needed something deeper. I needed to listen to myself again, to go inward and hear the voice I had silenced for too long.

That was the beginning of everything shifting.

Over time, I began asking more thoughtful questions. I began to understand who I truly was underneath the exhaustion and expectations. And I permitted myself to begin asking more thoughtfully to build a new way forward, rooted in truth, not pressure.

That journey is what inspired this.

The Next Chapter Self-Discovery Workbook is now available in print. The digital version has been available, but now you can order the physical book.

After multiple revisions, honest reflection, and putting my full heart into this project, I created a tool to guide women of all ages through their season of becoming.

This workbook was designed to help you reflect on where you’ve been, dream bigger about what’s next, and reconnect with your voice in a way that feels personal, powerful, and free.

It’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding who you are beneath all the roles you’ve had to play. It’s a space to get clear, be honest, and move forward in your own time and on your terms.

Inside, you’ll find meaningful prompts that invite you to reflect deeply, reconnect with your desires, and reimagine your future from a place of self-worth and confidence.

This is not a quick fix. It is a tool for clarity.
A space to exhale.
A quiet place to begin again.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “What’s next for me?”
Or if you’re ready to live a life that reflects your truth, not your survival, this is for you.

I’m so excited to share it with you.

You can order your printed copies below. This is also a great gift for those graduates and empty nesters working to figure out what is next.

Let this be the beginning of something beautiful.
Your next chapter deserves to be written with care.

With gratitude and purpose,
