Solstice blessings
December 18, 2024
This year, I've been living at my growth edge, personally and professionally. It's taken a level of discipline, focus, and self-love I haven't sustained in many, many years.
Personally, building a business while supporting a toddler through ongoing cancer treatment and starting preschool has been a lesson in patience, presence, and letting go of expectations. Despite his circumstances and some health curveballs, I'm grateful he has had a really great year. His resilience and joy humbles and teaches me every day.
Professionally, I've enjoyed building new relationships and collaborations, designing new workshops, experimenting with different consulting projects, and learning from my one-on-one coaching clients daily. What a privilege it's been to offer this support.
This week, my neighbors will gather for our 2nd annual "Solst-ish" party to gather around a fire and build community to mark the changing of seasons. It's a wonderful little ritual that I'm grateful to have as we head into the uncertainty of the new year. Building strength and resilience in my community is one of my antidotes to the fear-mongering and violence we experience in the daily news cycle.
Amidst the changing of seasons, I've been cooking up some exciting new offerings for 2025. There's a little something for everyone here. Do you know anyone who is in need of support?
I would appreciate it if you could support me by:

ANNOUNCING: Rooted & Rising: A group coaching cohort for managers
I am excited to share a new offering I’ve been collaborating on with somatics coach Erin Lingo through much of this year.
During this era of compounding and intersecting crises and uncertainty, the work of purpose-driven leaders, especially managers, is essential and demanding. We are launching Rooted and Rising: A Group Coaching Cohort for Managers in 2025 to offer sanctuary and strategy: a space for managers to envision the type of leader they wish to be through this time, ground themselves in their core values and purpose, and build the leadership skills necessary to make a positive–and sustainable– contribution.
This four-month program will run from February through May. It will include eight virtual group coaching sessions and a monthly community space.
This offering is near and dear to my heart, and I hope the opportunity to build community and skill among other change-making managers of people and projects will resonate. Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your network.
New Year Intention-Setting Workshop
Ever find that your New Year's Resolutions never stick? Not ready to join the group coaching cohort, but curious to get a taste of what it might be like?
This by-donation 90-minute workshop invites purpose-driven leaders and changemakers to move beyond traditional resolutions by focusing on what truly matters. Through interactive exercises and guided reflection, you'll connect with your core values, set purposeful intentions, and create an action plan for sustainable growth. Leave with renewed energy, actionable tools, and the confidence to lead with clarity and impact in 2025.
Please share with managers, colleagues, family, or friends, who are looking to set some realistic and achievable intentions for the year.
Workshop Dates:
Option 1: Thursday Jan 9, 4-5:30 pm EST
Option 2: Friday Jan 17, 9:30-11 am EST

The energy as the year ends can always be a bit topsy turvy and I know not all of us find joy in the holidays. I hope as you move through this time, you find some sweetness and space for rest.
With gratitude,
