I Cleaned Out My Closet… Here’s What I Learned


Hi friend,

Last week, we breathed together through Gratitude.

This week… we’re stepping into something many of us live inside without even noticing:

Chaos. Noise. Clutter. Mental overload.
The
pile we keep walking past.


A story…

Two days ago, I stood in my closet — overwhelmed, emotional, holding things I hadn’t touched in years.

Clothes that didn’t feel like me anymore.

Pieces from seasons I’ve already healed through. Things I kept out of habit, guilt, or… just because they’d always been there.

So instead of stuffing the feeling back down,
I sat in it. And I chose calm.

One hanger.
One shirt.
One shelf at a time.

And slowly — the chaos softened.

Not because life was suddenly easy, but because I made space inside a room where my nervous system could breathe again.


Maybe you’re holding chaos too.

A room you haven’t touched.
A thought you avoid.
A family dynamic that drains you.
A holiday schedule that feels like too much.

Sometimes choosing calm doesn’t look like spa days or oceans or silence…

Sometimes it looks like clearing a drawer.
Noticing your breath.
Saying one boundary out loud.
Or giving your mind 10 quiet minutes of presence.


Today, I made something for you...

A guided flow to help you…

• unwind the tight places
• breathe deeper than the season demands

💛 Hi my friend, I’ve been thinking a lot about how often women are told that midlife is when everything starts to fall apart. Our energy. Our hormones. Our strength. And honestly? I don’t buy it. 🙅🏻♀️ I believe the midlife season is an invitation to step into a new kind of power—one that’s built on how we move, how we sleep, how we eat, and which relationships we choose to protect our peace. And just as important? We are not meant to do this alone. So today, I wanted to give you a few of my...

Future Goodness There’s something tender about this season. ✨ I’ve been thinking a lot about future goodness (ie. hope) — and how hard it can be to believe in it when you weren’t raised to expect it. I grew up in a scarcity household. Rural Arkansas. Old cars. No air conditioning. No dishwasher.A huge garden we lived off of. Chickens we raised… and ate. 🐣 I remember hearing more than once: “Do you need that — or do you just want that?” 🤨 Dreaming ahead felt irresponsible. Planning for...
