Calling All Coffee Lovers…
The new book is coming along swimmingly!
I have so many coffee facts, traditions, historical stories, reflection prompts, and quotes all ready to go into formatting.
What’s left?
Coffee conversations and recipes.
I am writing the coffee conversations to be…
Writing a Book is Like….
For me, writing a book is like an insurmountable challenge, until I dig into it.
That is my reality. I think about it every day.
How do I want to do this?
How should I word that?

Everything Must Go!
Ah, yes…. long time, no see.
I have been pondering the trajectory of Inspired Chapter for a couple months.
Where do I go?
What do I do next?
What is working?
What isn’t?
Nothing Changes Until You Decide It Does
At some point, awareness stops being enough.
You can recognize the voice.
You can understand why it formed.
You can even nod along when someone says, “Be kinder to yourself.”
And still… nothing changes.
Because insight without interruption is just…
The Voice Isn’t Mean. It’s Scared.
Here’s the part most women don’t want to hear:

There is a voice in your head that sounds like you.
It comments on your body when you pass a mirror.
It critiques your tone after a conversation.
It reminds you of something embarrassing from five years ago while you’re trying to fall asleep.
It doesn’t scream.
It narrates.
And the dangerous part?…

I am working on writing the upcoming content for the March release and I thought I would share the opening of the full-length article.

When Your Thoughts Turn Against You
Before I ever began this self‑love journey, there was never a moment when I was kind to myself between my ears. Not one….
Boundaries Set and Held
I don’t know about you, but boundaries are tough for me.
Growing up, I learned that being a people pleaser kept me safe. My very early years were formed in a home where physical abuse was the norm. My father pretended he was the bare-knuckle boxer who…
Visibility Mode Activated
Last week, I talked about the rollercoaster ride that my life has been. The low lows. The dizzying heights.
Let me tell you what those lows and heights actually look like in real time…
Last week, I was ready to throw in the towel. Call it quits. Give up and give in on my dream of helping others with Inspired Chapter.
I started panic applying for jobs. Planning out how quickly I could find a way to pay off my loans and just be done with all of it. Fade back into obscurity.
This was a low low.
