Girls run the world. It’s a catchy phrase…but what about women? And more specifically, what about women at midlife? As girls, we’re met with so many unspoken expectations before we even reach adulthood. To be a girl is to be scrutinized, judged, sexualized, compared to others–and it can take decades before we learn how...
It’s a new year, and 2020 brings with it the hope of change, renewal, and the desire to ‘upgrade’! Some of us are busy making resolutions, designing vision boards, or choosing our “word of the year”. For others, the time feels ripe to engage in some early “Spring cleaning” – whether that involves mundane...
Ah, the Holiday season is upon us once again! This is a time of respite from the stress of everyday life and joyful togetherness with our families…right? We already know that at this time of year there’s a lot of pressure to get things “right”. Between errands and dinners, parties and presents, there isn’t...
Have you ever felt like you’ve been searching for something that’s eluded you your whole life? Like you’ve had an insatiable longing to answer the key question—but after all these years, you still haven’t put your finger on it? Maybe you’ve been stewing in uncertainty for some time.

Have you ever tried to manifest something? I’m thrilled that words like ‘manifest, visualize, ask the universe’ have become so mainstream. It means we want things to change for the better. But I worry that their meanings get lost. Life coaches use them to empower you. You read a book or attend a seminar...
My love, Peter, doesn’t usually write. I’ve never seen him do anything like this before, but something sparked this inspiration and I wanted to share his message with you. It’s brilliant and totally echoes how I feel. So glad we found each other! – Dr. Marissa This message is for you. How do you...
Women have always been the butt of jokes when it comes to crying. ‘She’s hormonal, she’s sensitive, she’s a mess.’ Yeah, we are hormonal… we are sensitive. And when we’ve been at it a while, we can look and feel pretty messy. But, why is any of that bad?! Crying makes us feel better!...
My wish, my plea with the universe is for all women everywhere to know their minds and to move in the direction of forward momentum and self-actualization, no matter the naysayers.
