Wellness Wednesday Newsletter

A weekly note inspired by conversations from the coaching room and the season of life I'm living. Each Wednesday, I share practical wellness tips, personal reflections, and simple reminders to help you care for yourself a little better. Whether you're planning a wedding, raising a family, building a business, or simply trying to find more balance, I hope you'll find something here that makes you pause, reflect, and move through your week with a little more intention.

Your Wedding Timeline: Are You Planning for More Than the Big Day?

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week’s Theme: Your Wedding Timeline Isn't Just About the Wedding I have a feeling many of you are going to relate to this week's newsletter. These last two weeks have been nonstop, and quite frankly, I'm exhausted! Between work, family, events, and everything else life throws our way, sometimes even the routines we know help us feel our best fall through the cracks. And that's exactly what we're talking about this week. How do we navigate the demands of life...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week’s Theme: What Brides Are Carrying Before the Wedding At the bridal show this weekend, I met so many wonderful brides, couples, and family members. We talked about wedding plans, but also about how they want to feel along the way. 28 brides filled out my form. Here’s what they shared: 19 wanted better skin. 16 wanted more energy. 16 wanted to lose weight. 15 wanted to feel less stressed. 11 wanted help fitting nutrition and movement into a busy schedule....

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week’s Theme: Coming Back to What Matters to You Have you ever asked someone for their opinion, then wished you had just kept the whole thing to yourself? You felt good about your decision. Then one conversation turned into three, someone suggested something you hadn’t considered, and now you’re back on Google. 😂 Whether you’re planning a wedding or figuring out your next step in life, this can happen so easily. Inside this week’s newsletter: A Note from Me:...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week’s Theme: Beauty From the Inside Out When you think about looking and feeling your best on your wedding day, what comes to mind? A skincare routine, your makeup trial, finding the perfect dress? Those preparations can be such a fun part of this season. But there’s another part of the conversation that deserves attention: how you’re caring for your body along the way. Inside this week’s newsletter: A Note from Me to You: What beauty from the inside out...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: What’s On Your Plate? I’m moving a little slower than usual this week thanks to a nasty, nasty sciatica flare-up. It’s also why this email is reaching your inbox a little later than usual. For the past two weeks, I’ve had to hand off more than I normally would. My husband has been picking up the slack, no complaints, just quietly doing it. And it’s had me thinking a lot about partnership. Specifically, who’s carrying what right now, and whether...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: The Energy to Be Fully Present I hope you're having a wonderful week. This week, I am still reflecting after watching one of my amazing couples get married. Everything I would usually separate into different sections of this newsletter came together in that room. The nourishment, habits, stress, communication, energy, and ability to be present were all part of one story. So, this week will look a little different. Next week, I will bring back...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week’s Theme: Support From the Inside Out I hope you’re having a wonderful week! When we think about supporting our bodies, we often imagine that it requires a big change. A completely new eating plan. A demanding workout routine. A cabinet full of supplements. Another long list of things we need to do perfectly. But support can also begin with something incredibly small. Sometimes it looks like adding chia seeds to your water. Sometimes it is eating a snack...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: The Tool Is Not the Plan I hope you’re having a wonderful week! There are more tools available to support our health than ever before. Medications. Supplements. Detoxes. Protein powders. Apps. Meal plans. Wearable devices. Some of these tools can be incredibly helpful. They may help us feel better, create momentum, or make a difficult goal feel more manageable. But a tool still needs a purpose. This week, we are talking about GLP-1 medications,...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: When the Picture Changes I hope you’re having a wonderful week! Many of you reading this are in different stages of wedding planning. You may be 18 months away, nine months away, or only days from your wedding. No matter where you are, you probably have an idea of how you thought this season would look and how you hoped you would feel. But what happens when the reality looks different? Inside this week's newsletter: A Note from Me - When life...

Wellness Wednesday Newsletter This Week's Theme: Making Space for Life's Transitions I hope you're having a wonderful week. I had something completely different planned for today's Wellness Wednesday. Then I learned that Hayden Panettiere had died at 36. We're only about a year apart in age, and as someone who grew up watching her, her passing sparked some reflections I wasn't expecting. I don't want to speculate about how she died. Instead, I want to share where those thoughts led me. Inside...
