What You May Want to Know Before You Begin
My workshops, retreats, and journaling programs are designed primarily for women over 50 who have spent years caring for everyone else and now feel unsure about what they want for themselves.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you begin. I will guide you through journaling questions and practical exercises that help you identify what you want and choose your next step.
No. You only need a notebook, a pen, and a willingness to be honest with yourself. I will guide you through each activity.
No. You decide what you want to share. Some women enjoy discussing their discoveries, while others prefer to keep their writing private.
My Christian faith is part of who I am and may be included through scripture, prayer, or personal stories. Women from different backgrounds and beliefs are welcome and respected.
You can join one of my virtual retreats, workshops, journaling programs, writing groups, or speaking events. If you are unsure where to begin, download my free journaling guide and start with one page.
