A client and I were recently talking about nesting dolls and how the imagery of dolls that build upon one another can be a powerful way to look at the many versions of ourselves…

In many of my conversations with clients as of late, there has been a theme of overwhelm and concern…

I’ve been having conversations with friends and clients alike lately about the new year and what it means to us…

I have a small whiteboard hanging in my office. In February I wrote on the board…

I drafted a different newsletter for today and then realized this would be going out the day after the election...

We dropped the platitudes and generalizations and tried to be specific, knowing that it’s important that our actions align with our words. We did our best to answer: What does “a life well lived” mean to me?

I sent this IG post to the Nurtured Team a few weeks ago with a confession that…

The infertility journey is total shit, but one thing I’m grateful for is the learning and growth I’ve had around boundaries. This text message is one example…
