YOUR WORDS as a Path to Wisdom, Wholeness, and the Life You’re Meant to Live.

I love this picture. The yellow bathing suit, the smile, the parrots, the sunshine—it all captures something real, something free. This is me in Da Nang, Vietnam, standing in an amusement park with a group of sister-travelers during the height of the pandemic. While the rest of the world seemed to be shutting down, we made a choice—to rent a car, drive to the mountains, and enjoy the brief moments of freedom between six-week lockdowns.

Not everything was open. The park was nearly empty. But we went anyway. Because life is happening now. And when given the choice between sitting still in fear or embracing the world with open arms, we chose joy.

A Story of Liberation

For most of my life, I followed the script. I got the degrees. I climbed the career ladder. I earned the impressive job titles. And yet, nothing ever fit—not the salaries, not the benefits, not the expectations. I poured myself into work, relationships, and obligations that never fully nourished me. Then, my mother passed away from breast cancer at 49. I dropped out of a doctorate program. I walked away from a career in education without a plan, just the quiet knowing that there had to be more.

So, I did something radical. I let go.

At 40, I took a $12-an-hour job prepping food at Whole Foods. It was humbling, but it also gave me something I hadn't had in years—space. I started writing again. I wrote about food, about healing, about learning how to cook fresh, vibrant meals while living with fibroids. That small project turned into a blog, a book, personal chef clients, and a career as a recipe ghostwriter and food educator.

And then, at 41, I finally listened to the voice that had been whispering for years—“It’s time to go.”

I left the U.S. in July 2018, determined to reclaim my health and experience the world on my own terms. Since then, I have lived in:

🌏 U.A.E. (Dubai)
🌏 Thailand
🌏 Vietnam
🌏 Cambodia
🌏 Laos
🌏 Myanmar
🌏 Rwanda
🌏 Uganda
🌏 Türkiye
🌏 Mexico

Every country, every chapter, has deepened my understanding of what it means to truly live, create, and heal. And if there’s anything I know for sure, it’s this:

✨ If you want your life to change, you have to tell it where to go.
✨ Life only feels hard when you're following someone else’s program.
✨ Successful writers, artists, and creatives are also great business people.
✨ Meditation is the key to greater self-awareness and creativity.
✨ None of the items on your to-do list matter if your health is not in order.
✨ Life is too short to entertain limiting beliefs around who is creative and who is not.

What This Space is About

Wealthy, Wise, and Whole is an invitation—to write, to reflect, to break free, and to create the life that is calling you forward. Whether you write for personal clarity or dream of writing a book, this space will help you cultivate a deeper connection to your voice and your truth.

So ask yourself…
💡 How far are you willing to go to be happy?
💡 What do you need to live your most creative, inspired life?
💡 Are you ready to stop waiting and start writing your way forward?

Welcome to the journey. Let’s begin.

This newsletter is a space for meditative writing, self-discovery, and soulful storytelling. Each week, I reflect on the themes explored in my Wednesday AM Meditative Writing Circle, offering insights, prompts, and personal reflections inspired by our live sessions. If you’d like to join us in real-time, you can sign up for the email list here or watch the free replays on my YouTube channel.

Writing is more than words on a page. To be honest it’s a practice of presence, transformation, and reclaiming your voice. Whether you write for personal clarity or dream of writing a book, this space is here to support your journey.

As an author coach, I guide writers through meditative writing, memoir development, and personal storytelling. If you're looking for deeper support, you can:

• Join The Writing Ritual: a structured writing program for accountability and creative growth. Join the email list to find out when the next session opens.

• Work with me 1-on-1: I offer personalized coaching for writers ready to bring their stories to life. Schedule a free 15-min writing strategy session to see if we’re a fit.

Here’s what I’m currently working on:

I’m currently writing my book, Living a Life Worth Writing About: A Guide to Spiritual Writing & Self-Discovery, a deep exploration of how meditative writing can serve as a spiritual practice, a path to healing, and a tool for transformation. This book is for seekers, creatives, and anyone longing to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with their inner wisdom through writing. Blending personal storytelling, mindfulness practices, and reflective prompts, it offers a guide to using words not just to document life, but to shape it with intention. If you love what I share here in Wealthy, Wise, and Whole, you’ll love this book. It’s an expansion of everything I teach in my Wednesday AM Meditative Writing Circle and The Writing Ritual.

You can support this space and my work as an author by subscribing at $8/month or $80/year—not as a donation, but as a way to say, “I value this, and I want more of it.”

Welcome to Wealthy, Wise, and Whole—a space for reflection, storytelling, and living a life worth writing about.
