The book photoshoot you have been dreaming of 📚

Today’s rainy day came at the perfect time to finish and test our new set for fall.

I have been trying to figure out this corner of the studio since I’ve moved in nearly 5 years ago 🙈

And while it may have taken so much more brain powered and failed creative projects than I’d like to admit- I think I’m finally in love with it.

Bc there is just something that feels so yummy, so calming, so homie like a wall of old photos, candles, plants, and hard cover books 🤤

Like, what is it about this whole scene that makes me just drop into my body and feel like a ooey gooey human.

Must say something about me 😅

What do you think? Wanna come snuggle up this fall?

I’ve been a little quiet lately.

But I promise I’m still here. 🤍

The last few weeks of summer have been full—not just busy, but full of me reminding myself to slow down and savor the time.

To stop thinking everything needs to be jammed into these last few weeks of summer.

To stop rushing toward the next thing.

To actually be where I am.

And honestly? Sometimes that is MUCH easier said than done.

But the moments when I remind myself to pause, stop, and enjoy where I am right now have made such a difference.

So if you’re feeling that summer crunch right now—like you need to DO MORE, squeeze more in, make the most of it…

Try something different.

Stop.

Take a breath.

Be right where you are.

See how that feels.

See what shifts.

And maybe that’s why I’m feeling SO excited about Afterglow.

Because after this full summer, I am craving the spaciousness of this weekend.

Mornings sitting by the lake.

Creativity and art.

Quality time together (my love language, after all).

Deep conversations.

Quiet.

And time to stoke our wild fires—to let what’s been sitting on our hearts actually be felt, and to move in ways that feel really, really good to us.

The older I get, the more I’ve decided to prescribe myself this kind of medicine.

Time away.

Time to be held.

Time to be with women.

Time to remember I’m not alone.

Because there is something about simply being together that heals.

It changes how we feel about ourselves.

And I think every woman deserves a little more of that.

So I’m going to trust that the two women who need to be here will choose it. 🤍

Afterglow Bo***ir Retreat — only 2 spots remain.

And as always, ask me questions! It’s my favorite thing. ✨
