The world is trembling.

Wars, chaos, riots—so much of what we once trusted is cracking. And yes, it hurts. Yes, it can feel hopeless.

But underneath the noise, I feel something deeper.

A clearing.

A purging.

A return.

We are not just witnessing collapse.

Three years ago to this week, we took the biggest leap of our lives and committed to move from our home in Marin to Portugal-- sight un-seen. We followed the call to adventure, not knowing Portugal would steal our hearts.

After spending two action-packed weeks back in Marin, we’re now selling the house that was the home we raised our kids in since they were 5 & 3 years old.

Life rarely goes as planned. But disappointment can often lead to something even better.

Portugal sparked a dream two years ago. I envisioned creating a wellness hub with saunas, cold plunges, connection.

This business would weave so much of my journey together (I spent much of my career in the health and wellness industry before becoming a coach).

This one of my highlights of 2024. I co-created a community event for 40 people and it greatly exceeded anything I could have imagined.

We’re drowning in it—fear, division, chaos, the censoring and finger-pointing.

“When (the obstacle clears up), then I’m going to (do the inspiring thing). Seriously!"

Sound familiar?

Wow! I’ve got a big BUT, and I didn’t realize just how much it's been bothering me until recently.

I can’t help noticing it all the time now.

But the truth is in 2020 I changed the course of my life. It was the year I put my heart and soul in the driver's seat and stepped past my deepest fears towards my true purpose.
