If you’re carrying too much right now, read this.

Hello Friend, 

Have you ever felt like life suddenly leveled up on you — without asking permission first?

I thought this season would be my chance to finally show up more — for my business, my family, and myself. But instead, I found myself staring down a mountain of responsibilities, feeling like I was one step away from a total meltdown.

One day last week, I hesitated before replying to a simple email because I knew it would trigger more work. I literally said to myself, “Don’t do it, Rebecca…” and then — yep — hit send anyway. (Have you ever done that?) 

It got me thinking... what is the Universe trying to tell me?

Am I supposed to slow down and focus on my day job? Is it pushing me to finish what’s already on my plate before moving forward? Or is this just one of those messy seasons that’s actually teaching me how to trust myself more?

Whatever the answer is, I realized I’m not alone in this. And neither are you.

Some of us are like my son Grayson — charging ahead, willing to face the same challenge over and over until we break through. Others are more like my husband Jeff — methodical, thoughtful, collecting tools along the way. Me? I fall somewhere in the middle.

In today's blog post, I’m sharing what these recent weeks have shown me about how we each move through life in our own way — and how powerful it can be when we start recognizing the signs, the tools, and the people placed in our path.

If you’ve ever struggled to keep going when life feels too full — or questioned whether you're doing enough — this one’s for you.

The dance you might be missing.
  Hello Friend, The other night, I watched my youngest son break into an impromptu dance in the cool evening air — barefoot, pajama-clad, and completely free. No fear of judgment. No second-guessing. Just pure, unfiltered joy. It made me stop and think: When did we, as adults, forget how to dance with life? Lately, I’ve been doing some deep work — learning to loosen my grip, trust Universal Int...
April Fools? Nope—just my blog disappearing before 6 a.m.
  Hello Friend, I woke up early this morning, ready to start April with good vibes and intention. I even did a little breathwork and meditation — you know, opening up to all that fresh spring abundance the Universe has to offer. Then I sat down at my computer. I was mid-reply to a sweet social media comment when I realized something was… off. The blog post I’d poured my heart into? Gone. Poof. ...
What happens when the weight of the world feels too heavy?
  Hello Friend, I’ll be honest — this past week has been really hard for me. I’ve felt an overwhelming heaviness, like the depression and anxiety I’ve worked so hard to manage have been creeping back in. I found myself slipping into old patterns — doubting myself, beating myself up, feeling like I wasn’t enough. And then, at work, I took something way too personally in a team meeting. It wasn’t...
