Slower, Wealthier, Happier

There’s something almost magical about the act of clearing space. I don’t mean it in a metaphorical, abstract way (though that’s part of it). I mean the real-life, hands-on, open-the-closet-door-and-let-it-go kind of clearing. The sweep-the-floor kind. The pop-the-trunk-and-drop-off-the-donation kind. The clean-out-the-email-inbox-and-finally-cancel-the-subscription kind. Because clearing space is not just about tidying. It’s about trust.It’s about alignment.It’s…

There’s this quiet, tender ache that lives under so many of our dreams—the belief that we have to deserve the good things we want. That we must earn, prove, or justify the joy, abundance, ease, or support our hearts long for. But what if you didn’t? What if you didn’t have to hustle for your…

There’s a reason I love the word yummy. It’s soft.It’s expansive.It’s everything I want life to feel like: rich, delicious, beautiful, and a little indulgent. For so long, I didn’t have a word for that kind of goodness.I was really good at naming everything that wasn’t working—what I didn’t have, what didn’t go right, what…

Let me start with something tender: If you see yourself in this article, know this: You are not wrong.You are not bad.You are not broken. But you may be giving from a place that’s running on empty. This one is not my personal story. I’ve had my own receiving blocks—but chronic overgiving wasn’t one of…

I’ll admit this up front: I still catch myself doing it. A friend recently reached into the car to help me unload something. It was light. It wasn’t a big deal. And yet—I found myself saying, “I got it, I got it, I got it.” She gently backed off with a little smirk, and I…

I want to tell you a story that might not seem like it’s about money.But I promise you—it is. When I was young, I was what people called a “pretty” child. Soft-spoken.Well-mannered.Dainty.Polite.The kind of child people praised just for standing still. I had beautiful skin, long hair, and an energy that made people outside of…

There’s a question that still echoes in my soul like a bell:“What is it that you really want?” It came from my very first money mentor—a man who didn’t teach from spreadsheets and stats, but from the place of deep inquiry. I met him at a three-day seminar, and from the moment we walked in,…

I didn’t grow up hearing anything about my nervous system. Not in school.Not in church.Not at home. I didn’t know what it was, why it mattered, or that it even existed outside of medical textbooks. And I certainly didn’t know it had anything to do with money. So when I signed up for a money…

I remember the day so clearly. My husband and I were in the middle of moving. We had made the decision to downsize temporarily while preparing to build our next home, and like most transitions, this one was layered. A little stress. A little excitement. A whole lot of boxes. We had hired movers to…
