093 - The Next Chapter Begins

This week’s episode is a little bit of everything: travel recovery, grace, family updates, dogs who do not believe in sleeping in, and a very meaningful next step in my own life and work.

After our trip to Texas with Jane, I underestimated just how much energy it would take to come home, catch up, get groceries, do laundry, and return to normal life. I had planned to record last week’s episode only one day late, and then I realized that I needed to extend myself grace. So I did.

In this episode, I share a few stories from our Texas trip that I did not share on Building a Life and Business Together, including a sweet moment where I was reminded that McKenna is stepping into her adult life as Jane. For years, Jane has been the name used by those closest to her, and now she has chosen to use that name as she begins law school and this new chapter of her life.

I also share a few updates from a weekend spent caring for Meagan and Jacob’s dogs, which included being woken up by a dog sneeze to the forehead and another dog kicking my already sore knee. Apparently, dogs sleep in for other people, but not for me.

The deeper part of this episode is about the next chapter beginning in my own life.

After a recent hot seat inside the Next Level Mastermind, I realized that I am ready to step back into coaching. I have known for a long time that helping women is part of my purpose, especially women who are navigating the changing seasons of motherhood, healing from past trauma, breaking free from expectations, and rediscovering who they truly are.

I am bringing back my mastermind.

My heart is to create a safe, judgment-free space where women can share where they are, where they want to go, and begin breaking free from the limiting beliefs and expectations that have kept them from living whole and free.

In this episode, I talk about why I paused this work several years ago, why being fully present with my children was the right choice for that season, and why now feels like the right time to begin again.

I am excited, nervous, grateful, and ready.

Thank you for the grace you extended to me as I extended grace to myself.

Until next time, I encourage you to live your life on purpose.
