The Call to Live. Fully. Deeply. Now.
Are you truly living, or just going through the motions? Too often, we wait for "big moments" to wake us up—yet life’s magic is in the present.
There’s something stirring in me.
A whisper. A pull. A call I can’t quite name yet—but I can feel it.
And maybe, just maybe, you feel it too.
Lately, I’ve found myself asking: What does it truly mean to live?
Not just exist. Not just get through. But live.
To feel awake, to feel present, to feel—fully, deeply, now.
Because I don’t want to sleepwalk through this life.
I don’t want to wake up one day and realize I missed it.
And so, I’ve been sitting with these questions:
💭 Am I alive when I get caught up in the mayhem of my mind?
💭 Am I alive when I replay old worries, waiting for the perfect time to act?
💭 Am I alive when I hold onto certainty, avoiding the stretch that real growth requires?
Or…
💡Am I alive when I lean into discomfort—because discomfort is often the first step toward something bigger?
💡Am I alive when I choose presence over autopilot? When I pause, breathe, and truly take in the moment?
💡Am I alive when I say yes to something my heart longs for, even if I don’t yet know where it will lead?
I don’t have the final answers. But I do know this:
I want to live.
And I want that for you, too.
What If Today Was Your Last?
I recently came across a story that stopped me in my tracks.
"I woke up as my 90-year-old self in my 32-year-old body… and it was amazing. I took the walk I always postponed. When my mother called, I cried, because it had been years since I’d heard her voice. A voice I took for granted before it was too late."
I sat with that for a long time.
Because it made me wonder…
📌 Who in my life do I take for granted?
📌 What am I waiting to do, say, or feel?
📌 What would I regret if tomorrow never came?
And if that wasn’t enough—this thought landed even deeper:
If today were my last, would I have been fully here for it?
Not just in the big ways—but in the quiet, ordinary moments.
☕ The first sip of morning coffee.
🌅 The way the sky shifts colors before the world wakes up.
👂 The sound of laughter from someone I love.
So often, we wait for the “big things” to wake us up. The promotion. The love story. The life-changing trip. But maybe—the things that make life worth living are already right in front of us.
The only question is: Are we here for them?
A Space to Sit With It All
Lately, I’ve been feeling a pull to shed another layer. To sit in the discomfort of peeling back what isn’t real—so I can step more fully into what is.
And if I’m honest? That’s not always easy.
Most of us resist stillness.
We avoid the unknown.
We fill space so we don’t have to feel.
But what if the discomfort isn’t something to fear—but something to lean into?
What if, instead of turning away from the uncertainty, we turned toward it?
What if we gave ourselves space to listen? To really listen?
🌿 That’s why I created Calm & Connect.
A space to sit in the unknown together. To listen, not just to our thoughts, but to something deeper. To create space for clarity to emerge—not by force, but by presence.
It’s for those who are willing to get uncomfortable in the pursuit of something greater.
For those who want to live—not later, but now.
If this resonates, come sit with me, with us, this Sunday, March 16th.
If you’ve been feeling the pull to something more, but don’t know what’s next—let’s explore it together.

"The Day Came..." Embrace Discomfort and Unlock True Growth
Growth isn't a one-time leap; it's an ongoing process. In those moments of discomfort, we often find ourselves at a crossroads: ill we numb ourselves with distractions or will we choose to lean in, even when it feels like too much?
We've all been there—pushing forward, trying to reach the next level of success, only to find ourselves in the middle of extraordinary discomfort. So much so, that momentarily we begin to question ourselves: "Am I really cut out for this? Who do I think I am? Maybe I should just be satisfied with the status quo, or what I've already achieved."
It's that feeling that can stop us in our tracks. And if we listen to it, a small (or large) part of us starts to shrink.
But here's something important to remember: discomfort is not a roadblock. It's an invitation to grow.
Growth isn't a one-time leap; it's an ongoing process. In those moments of discomfort, we often find ourselves at a crossroads: Will we numb ourselves with distractions—blame, anger, shopping, eating, or overworking? Or will we choose to lean in, even when it feels like too much?
This is where transformation happens. When we embrace discomfort instead of avoiding it, we create space for real growth. We realize that what we've been avoiding is the very thing that will help us blossom.
The Power of Embracing Discomfort
Time and again, I see this with my clients. They reach incredible milestones—scaling their businesses, growing their teams, and expanding their lives. But at some point, they all hit a breaking point, where they are asked to stretch further, to grow beyond what they thought was possible.
It's in these moments—when we lean in, reflect, pause, and face the discomfort—that true growth happens. Anaïs Nin captures this beautifully: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
It's not about having all the answers—it's about trusting yourself to take that first step into the unknown and letting the rest unfold.
I've Been There Too: The Reset Room Journey
This process of growth doesn't just apply to personal development—it's at the core of every successful venture. And trust me, I've been there too with The Reset Room.
As some of you know, I've been on an incredible journey with my partners, bringing this extraordinary vision to life. Our goal is to support organizations and high-stress environments like conferences and corporate offices with a space designed to address stress, wellbeing, and leadership in a transformative way.
But, like any true innovation, there have been plenty of "oh crap!" moments—moments of extraordinary discomfort, where we hold the dichotomy of both clarity and uncertainty. The truth is, in this pilot phase, we don't have all the answers yet. But that's exactly where the real opportunity lies.
I've had my own moments of insecurity and doubt with this project, wondering, “Am I really ready for this?” And yet, every time I take a deep breath, step back, and truly listen, the answer is a resounding YES. And as I navigate through the discomfort, I'm reminded of the profound impact The Reset Room has already had: The feedback has been incredible, and the ripple effects are already starting to show—people are walking away more grounded, more focused, and more equipped to handle the challenges that lie ahead.
It's through sitting with both the discomfort and the unknown that we create something far bigger than ourselves. When we embrace the not-knowing, we get to play, to imagine infinite possibilities, and to co-create with others who are just as invested in the vision.
What Are You Ready to Embrace?
So, I ask you: What discomfort are you avoiding? What challenges are inviting you to lean in, trust yourself, and take that first step toward the growth that's waiting on the other side?
Remember: It's not just about weathering the storm—it's about blossoming because of it.
If you're feeling ready to embrace that next level of growth—for yourself, your team, or your organization—I'd love to support you on this journey. And if The Reset Room feels like the space your organization needs to create lasting transformation, let's talk about how we can bring it to life together.
Here's to the courage to grow, the strength to lean in, and the beauty of what's on the other side.
