If you’ve been craving balance but don’t know where to start, it might be time to find your calm — the kind that’s steady, nourishing, and uniquely yours.

If you’re waiting for life to slow down before you finally take care of yourself, you might be waiting a while. The truth? Life will always be full. But that doesn’t mean you can’t carve out moments for yourself, even when everything feels like it’s moving faster than ever.   The Dinner Conversation That Sparked […]

There’s a saying I love: your energy goes where your focus is — and it’s the heart of any gratitude practice. Because where we place our attention, our energy naturally follows. For many high-achieving women in midlife, that focus is almost always on everyone and everything else — the family, the inbox, the expectations, the […]

Woman enjoying the ocean breeze — a reminder that joy and health after 40 are found in simple, everyday moments.

When it comes to joy and health after 40, the two are more connected than you might think. Can you remember the last time you did something purely for fun — with no agenda, no productivity attached? Was it dancing in your kitchen, laughing so hard with friends that your stomach hurt, or getting lost […]

Have you ever felt resistance to change when trying to build a new habit—or stick with one? That heavy pushback doesn’t always mean you’re failing. Sometimes resistance to change habits is part of growth. Other times, it’s a sign of misalignment—your body or mind telling you the habit isn’t right for you. We’ve all been […]

Assorted supplements and vitamins in small white bowls, symbolizing perfectionism in wellness and the search for a quick fix.

You’re doing your best to feel more energized, balanced, and like yourself again. So you do your research, cut the sugar, buy the supplements, and try to get everything right.

Woman sitting barefoot by the window with a coffee mug and houseplants—real wellness habits and slow mornings for women over 40

I recently stumbled upon a book that immediately caught my eye in a New York bookstore: How to Be Well by Amy Larocca.
