Revive and Thrive is here!
When I left my healing retreat a couple of years ago, I walked away from a career that came with stability, a decent paycheck, and loads of great experiences. I met Taylor Swift, interviewed Presidents, and rode in a limo with an A-list celeb while he was being screamed at by the co-star in their new movie. That wild night ended with me on a bus with a trusty bucket over my head. It was not my best moment, but I was 27 and full of energy. And alcohol. Seems like a lifetime ago, honestly. Two kids and 20 years of marriage later, I find myself here in a familiar place. I’m starting over and using different words. I owe all of this to work I’ve been doing on myself since July of 2021. I’ve been doing the work. I’m curious again about who I am and what I want to leave behind. I refuse to be someone who comes and goes. I need to leave this place better than I found it. We hear that phrase every now and again, and I believe it has a name. A transitional character. In my retreat, it was clear that the way to be a transitional character is to take care of yourself. I’m not talking about your massage every nine months or wine night with friends; I’m talking about REALLY taking care of yourself. Movement, food, water, sleep, managing expectations, forgiveness, laughing your ass off, and, hardest of all for me, having hard conversations with people. Very soon, I will be offering you a chance to take the same journey I went on at your own pace.
For the last seven months, Dr. David Leicken and I have been working on a 6-week wellness course you can take on your own. Guided videos, some introspective homework, and weekly check-ins are all part of it. It’s for you if you feel like you're in a rut or stuck. It’s for you if you don’t feel like yourself or if you’ve been wanting to start a journey of self-care and healing and don’t know where to start. We’re very proud to offer this to you and have two very special announcements. Our course will always be free for Veterans, and we’ll offer a discount if you bring along an accountability buddy. This course will do both of you some good. If you want more information, please sign up for my newsletter, and I’ll get updates as they come in. Thank you, and have a great day!
