Hi Reader. Let me ask you something BOLD: What lights you up now? Not what used to. -- Not what looks good on paper. I mean, the kind of spark that makes you feel alive —maybe even a little dangerous ...in a good way. 😏 If you’re struggling to answer that, you’re not broken. You're likely in the Messy Middle—that strange in-between space where your old identity doesn’t quite fit, and the next version of you hasn’t fully shown up yet. And guess what? That space is sacred. You’re waking up. You’re done living on autopilot. You’re ready to remember who you are. Here’s the truth no one tells you:You don’t find your passion. You live WITH passion. It’s not gone—it’s buried under decades of obligation, perfectionism, and being everything for everyone else. Now? It’s your turn. You don’t chase purpose—you start with glimmers; small sparks of
You follow those flickers... until they catch fire. 🔥 This is a key principle of the Wayfinding program (beta is kicking off April 17) This week, I challenge you to try this:
You don’t need a plan. You need a compass - and you already have it—it’s called your gut. ✨ Want the full story? 👉 Read the full article on Substack Resonating?And if this speaks to you—even a little?

Hit reply and tell me one thing on your Glimmer List—I’d love to hear it. 💛 (Glimmers” is a term first introduced by Deb Dana, therapist and author, in her work with Polyvagal Theory.) P.S.S. I'm back in France after a blazingly fast 18 days in Texas. It's bittersweet; both the coming and the going, and I'm still processing it. Here's from my welcome home walk. |

Reader, I tell you this from experience. Reinvention sounds sexy ...until you’re in it. Truth: Change is Messy. My sister trip is winding down here in Texas. I fly back to France on the 29th. The visit has been both wonderful and a tad confusing. Familiarity is a drug. The familiar is comfortable, like a soft blanket... even if the blanket has a few thorns and stickers in it. The discomfort of the known is still hard to let go when the unknown is so ...well, unknown. I'm feeling it now. As...
It’s Time to Toughen the Talk. Reader, over the last few weeks, we’ve covered why you might feel stuck after retiring (or after a divorce, the death of a loved one, or any other lifequake event). We’ve also talked about the core truth: Mystical moments of clarity that magically illuminate your path forward aren't waiting for you. Here’s the next truth bomb: Your happiness is absolutely, 100% your responsibility. You don’t get to use your husband, your aging parents, your kids or grandkids,...
