Most of the experiences that I host are small, intimate, and exceptionally intentional.

But once a year, I love to throw a party and bring that same intention to scale.

™ came from a very personal place for me.

After becoming a mom, I realized how easy it was to lose touch with the outward part of myself, the part that liked to get dressed (not in sweatpants), do my hair and makeup, and feel my vibes. ✨

That version of me didn’t disappear. She just got buried under the needs of everyone else. 🙃

The idea for was my way of remembering and honoring her.
And, hopefully, helping other women remember that part of themselves too.

So cheers to taking a day off, for your OUTER self... your inner self will thank you. 🙏🏻

Proof of life outside of work. 🥳

and I spent a heart filled weekend celebrating the marriage of & in , Mexico. These two humans bring together the best of people and created a container for deep connection.

We caught up with old friends and dropped in with who will certainly be new friends.

Grateful for love and being able to press life’s pause button to savor and celebrate what it’s all really about…

Elien and Nima thank you for this deeply beautiful gathering. Looking forward to continuing to layering on the new friendships made.

We aren’t a family that sends holiday cards though I am starting to love that tradition and might work up to it.

For now, I’ll use this space as a recap of 2025.

Mila- started walking, talking, singing and dancing. She steals everyone’s hearts and continues to be a total JOY bomb.

Markus- started Pre-K, continued to show strong athleticism in anything with a ball and started tennis lessons. He’s recently discovered chess, is obsessed (and quite good!)

Ryan- learned a ton of new home improvement skills as he set up our new home. Continued his personal growth journey, which with his discipline and chat GPT was truly inspiring to see the results of. He finished the year with a new job at a really inspiring new fund and loves his job. This is the first time in 6 years that we aren’t in the same space daily. (RIP remote work)

As for me, I created a new home for the fam in the North Fork. It’s where I continue to feel most peace. We spent the summer and holidays there as I’d always dreamed. This was the year I felt authentically rooted in my Miami community !
It was a big growth year emotionally - I struggled lots and stretched in ways I am now grateful for. My biggest gift this year was discovering Kabbalah and learning from

Ready to bring a fresh perspective, clarity and the wisdom of lessons learning into 2026… and maybe I’ll even send a card this year.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of my journey this year. May 2026 be kind and expansive for all of us.

thank you for inspiring and gifting us the gift of these beautiful images. Grateful for our sisterhood.

I’ve always created experiences or communities from a place of personal need.

When thinking about what I ACTUALLY wanted for Mother’s Day … that looked like:
*being with my friends in a relaxed setting 👯‍♀️
*getting pampered 💆‍♀️
*having the space to play 🔮
*discover something new 👀
*space … away from my daily routine and my children ✌️

My need manifested into now signature experience .

This is the third year we’ve brought this to life and I just say, it gets better with age ☺️

Motherhood is a journey, make sure you make time to celebrate this chapter and yourself! I hope that experiences like this help fill the cups of all the mothers in my life.

Thank you to my amazing team for brining this vision to life and to the partners that fueled this experience.

In Nov of 2020, mid pandemic, I wound up in Sarasota at my mom’s place, seeking comfort as a new mother who needed support. The arrangement was meant to be temporary… however morphed into a 3 year affair.

As I navigated retirement community living, I tried to place my new identity. Toggling between who I was if not in NYC and if not working at The Standard or hosting .usa events?!

While Sarasota provided a supportive landing, it couldn’t do much for a woman who loved the energetic pace of NYC. The stillness of my new surroundings literally pulled me into boughs of sadness.

I did find joy was in the nature and the pockets of uniqueness that I found endearing about this town.

Friday morning estate sales filled my creative cup. Saturday afternoon kayak sessions calmed my nerves and places like inspired the planner within. In fact, when I found this gem of a boutique hotel- I knew it would one day be home to a retreat that I would plan. Didn’t know for whom or when …

This past weekend that manifestation came to life and my Sarasota chapter came full circle as I hosted the retreat at my former stomping ground.

It was cathartic to sheppard my community of new mothers in a place where I become a mother myself... I loved sharing some of the best parts of Sarasota.

While it wasn’t an easy time for me, I’ll always be grateful to for my Sarasota chapter as it’s where I birthed mysha (beautiful things arise from stillness!!)

Sharing some of the beauty from this past weekend.
