Spring has legally arrived! Friday was the Spring Equinox, and I couldn't be more relieved. It's still very grey and damp in southwestern Ontario, but nonetheless, we're here, we'll see warm weather again. Within weeks, I'll be able to pick dandelions in my suburban neighborhood and disturb my neighbors.
In the meantime, I'm just setting my intentions and slowly working towards them. With Friday being the equinox, and the second I've observed since I started living more seasonally and how do you say, witchy? I spent the evening at a small virtual gathering to observe it, and then digging a hole and planting an egg in my backyard. Again, not at all weird to my neighbors. During that time, I was challenged to think about what it is that I actually want.
This is a weird space for me. In 2026, I don't want for much when I compare my life to so many. We're all living under so much pressure, and I'm continuously grateful for the comforts that I have. It's new territory for me to actually say, "This, this is what I want to build."
It's scary, because when I've built something in the past, it wasn't heart-led. It was, "I'm good at this thing, and people seem impressed by it, so I'm going to keep doing it and see where it takes me." But in the past year, I've wound down almost all of the work that I built that way, because it made me miserable. You cannot nourish yourself on the applause of someone else. At least I couldn't, as I found out.
So, I thought about what my intentions are with the services I'm offering. I thought about them long enough to know that what I'm building is from my heart, and from my love of helping others through difficult times. So, without further ado, I'm opening up my work to new, aligned clients.
Here’s what that looks like right now:
I’m offering Transition Mapping Sessions for people who feel like they’re in the middle of something they can’t quite name yet. Career shifts, identity changes, burnout, endings that didn’t come with a clean narrative. We sit together and map what’s actually happening, what’s noise, and what’s real.
I’m offering Transition Clarity Intensives for those who don’t need a full overhaul, but do need someone in their corner while they figure things out. This is steadier, ongoing support. Gentle structure. Someone to help you think, not tell you what to do.
I’m opening limited 1:1 consulting for people who are still in their roles or running businesses, but know something isn’t working. This is where we look at your systems, your workload, your expectations, and quietly rebuild something that doesn’t drain the life out of you.
And I’m piloting small group spaces for people who don’t want to do this alone anymore. Not big, overwhelming communities. Just contained rooms where you can be honest about what’s shifting without having to perform your way through it.
None of this is about optimizing you into a better worker.
It’s about helping you get honest about what you want, and then building something that can actually hold you.
Everything is live now. If you’ve been in a weird in-between lately, this is your invitation to not navigate it alone.
Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T.
What I'm Reading, Eating, Playing, Obsessing, Recommending and Treating.
Reading: I finished All In Her Head by Dr. Elizabeth Comen over the weekend while working on some sewing. Truly an excellent read/listen that covers so much we were misled about with our health.
Eating: Some very delicious things. Last week we had dinner with a friend who is very excited to have recently learned how to make fried chicken. I brought a delicious banana pudding. I used this recipe, but since I can't get Nilla Wafers here in Canada very easily, I subbed out for a plain vanilla shortbread.
Playing: Sewing still! I'm also working on some magnets, but sewing as been my primary project lately. I've also signed up for a sewing club, to get some help with correcting my bad habits. I completed this skirt over the weekend. The pattern is from Les Perlines, and is free.
Obsessing: Nachomaxxing. I love nachos so much and I think adults forget you can just make them at home. I often will use whatever leftover meat we've got, and add any odds and ends we had. I made carne asada on Saturday, so on Sunday I made nachos with the leftovers. I added the meat, corn I roasted in a pan to get a char, cheese (obviously), pickled jalapenos and feta. Then I made a sauce with half mayo half sour cream, lime juice and zest to drizzle on top.
Recommending: Adding a weekly simmer pot to your routine. I love to do these on Sunday, while I clean and prepare for the week. A simple one would be something like:
Water in a pot
Sliced lemon, orange, or grapefruit
Sliced apples or pears
A cinnamon stick
A few drops of vanilla
Rosemary
Cloves
Allspice
Really any kind of fruit, herb, etc that might smell nice. Bring to a simmer, and let it fill the house with a nice, cleansing energy.
Treating: This whimsical, adorable piece I thrifted last week.
The end.
Wishing you a happy, healthy week.
xoxo
