Sunday Edit, Vol 17 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m sitting in my backyard. It’s 4:30 on Saturday. I just made myself a cup of tea. The house is quiet. Laundry’s going. JP’s out picking up takeout with two of the kids, and for a moment I actually feel like I have space to think. And more importantly, to sit and write.I feel like my brain has not powered back on since we got back from Italy. I don’t know if it’s my hormones (I’m getting blood work next week because I actually think something is off), or just that I’m rusty at this fast-paced l
The Hardest Part of Midlife (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t think the hardest parts about being a woman in midlife are our changing bodies, our kids getting older, or our parents' age. Although let's be honest, none of that is fun.I actually think it’s the uneasy feeling of living in this grey, liminal space. Between who we are and who we’re becoming.I hear versions of this story every day from women I work with to women in my everyday life. I’m ready for my next chapter, but I couldn’t tell you what that is.And I think that feeling can be really
The Midlife Ache (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I shared a reel on Instagram the other day about how everything is “fine,” and yet, if you hugged me a little too long, I’d probably cry. It wasn’t something I had planned on sharing. I was having a really raw, tender moment, captured a little piece of it, and for whatever reason, randomly hit post. That reel now has almost half a million views. Has been shared more than 9,000 times and liked by over 17,000 women, in less than 48 hours.Turns out, I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.In fact, t
The Sunday Scaries (opens the original)
Read excerpt
*Yesterday in IG stories, I shared that I was feeling a little anxious, and I put up a poll asking how you all were feeling. An overwhelming 95% of you said, “Same, girl. Same.” So first and foremost, this is for anyone feeling a little anxious about the fall, the week ahead, or just life in general. Please know you’re not alone, and that it’s not a sign of weakness, or that something is “wrong” with you. It’s simply a moment in time, and it will pass. My hope in sharing this (and sharing what I
12 Nights in Italy With 4 Kids (opens the original)
Read excerpt
*Quick note that this post is long. I tried to include everything I thought was relevant to someone truly planning a trip to Italy (with or without kids), so apologies in advance if it feels lengthy. I tried to keep it as organized and easy to follow as possible. I’m on the flight home from Italy, and I’m already in tears. Which I know sounds ridiculous. It was honestly just that wonderful of a trip. I knew it was going to be good for us as a family, and that we’d all bond, but I don’t think I r
