Grab your morning cafecito and let’s do this together

Happy Sacred Sunday!

Do you know what today is?

It’s the last sacred Sunday of June.

That means today is the day to grab your cafe con leche, water with lemon, or morning smoothie, your journal and pen, and carve out 15 minutes with your Live with Intention framework.

The process is simple.

First, NOTICE what happened in June.

What worked well?

Add to your success-file.
Celebrate your wins and your sparks of bliss.
(Can’t remember what happened? Pro tip – look through your camera roll and calendar to jog your memory)

What didn’t work well?

Acknowledge what was heavy or energy draining?
what did you say you were going to do but didn’t?
What do you want to leave behind as you step into the new month?

What do you want July to look like?

How do you want to feel in July?
What do you want to prioritize?
What would success feel like at the end of this month?

Second, NAME your theme for the month.

This is the fun part — the part where you get to dream, visualize, and get excited for what’s ahead.

This is also the thing that will encourage you to stay intentional and focused throughout the month when the distractions kick in.

Third, NURTURE your theme.

This is where you put this framework into action.

As you live your daily life, you’ll be nurturing your monthly theme with your choices, habits, and thoughts.

This simple, sacred ritual has changed my life and I believe it can change yours too.

✨ On this week’s podcast, I’m walking through this process in real time to support you as you reflect and reset. I’m also revealing July’s theme for our Bliss’n Up community. You are welcome to adopt it as your own.

Because I’ve learned that often times, the collective theme is aligned with your personal one. And it’s powerful to be part of something bigger.

So tune in, set your theme, and get ready to kick off another exciting month together in 2025!

Sending you so much love today and everyday,

Healing & Transformation  ·  Personal Story
This was the surprise of a lifetime and I finally get to share it with you!

Happy Sacred Sunday!

Have you ever had a secret you were dying to share, but had to hold it close until the time was just right?

Well… never have I ever held on to a secret surprise as long as I held on to this one, and boy am I excited to finally share it with you today.

If you’re new to my community or the podcast, you may not know that last year was a very difficult year for our family due to my sister’s health struggles. Well, to say “health struggles” is an understatement.

I originally shared my sister’s story in episode 19 and I closed the loop on her miraculous recovery in epsiode 43 of the podcast.

But I NEVER expected what would happen next.

I haven’t shared this part anywhere else by the way, but i’m telling you because you’re an insider.

On the Sacred Sunday that Episode 43 aired, I got a Facebook message from Lulu—my sister’s internet hero.

A few days before, I had sent Lulu a video of Kathy standing tall and looking radiant. Lulu was so moved by her transformation that she decided, (on the day my podcast aired), to take her RV across the state to surprise Kathy in person.

Lulu hadn’t even heard the podcast yet.

What Lulu didn’t know was that at the moment she messaged me, I had been sitting with my mom sharing how I’d love to grab a video of my sister dancing to Lulu’s popular “ready to dance” song.

The synchronicity was 🤯🤯🤯🤯.

The only problem was that this conversation took place in February and I’d have to wait until April to surprise my sister. Which also meant I had to keep the surprise a secret for more months than I thought my heart could handle.(Here’s an Instagram video I made as I waited for the magical moment to unfold.)

Finally, the day arrived and the surprise was nothing short of incredible.  So here it is.

It was on of the most bliss-full moments of my life.

But even then, it would be another few months before I could share the surprise with you.
Until now.

Because today is the last official day of what we called “The Year of Lulu.”

I named Kathy’s 55th year The Year of Lulu because Lulu—who also overcame obesity—reclaimed her health at 55.

And my sister did the same.

Well, tomorrow is Kathy’s 56th birthday… and what better way to close this powerful year than by sharing the story, and thanking God for her healing?

This week, I invite you to listen to the podcast episode and watch the video of five incredible women DARING to come together in celebration of kindness, connection, courage, synchronicity, and change.

It’s an honor to finally share this with you.

In a world that often feels heavy and chaotic,

I believe it’s our sacred responsibility to spread stories of hope and healing.

Sending you so much love on this sacred Sunday,
