Telling Women's Stories

I have truly found a new purpose in this wellness brand that I started nearly 8 years ago. I have always been a writer, a lover of words and a story teller, but I just couldn't determine how to connect the two worlds I have grown to love so much, until now. Sharing the stories of women who inspire has has given me a newfound sense of purpose and meaning behind Second Spring Naturals-- a name that in and of itself speaks to second chances. Now you can hear about not only my own Second Spring, but that of women from...

On Perimenopause

Yep, I'm talking about it.  We're back to another 40 Lessons over 40 blog where I share all of the things I have learned since hitting my forties. Today I want to talk about what I have learned since entering perimenopause (almost there, menopause! I'm coming for you!) fairly early in my forties. A little Backstory first. I have always been fairly regular with my cycle, though I did discover a thyroid condition a little later in life than I would have liked which, having discovered it a little earlier, might have saved me years and years of super heavy...

A Vision Board Workshop

Let's chat today about how vision boards have helped me both in life and in business. I felt this should be a part of the 40 over 40 series because once I began implementing the practice of making vision boards every year, things changed.  First of all, what is a vision board? Well, you're about to find out. I decided today's blog would be a video post of a workshop I offered for my facebook group. Our  theme this January in the group is "Embrace the Morning" and vision boards are. a big part of that. We're setting goals and...

Changes in Friendships Over Forty

It's a rainy Sunday, a perfect time to talk about an issue that we all face as women, and, let's be real, it's something that spans the ages - sorry you spring chickens who look forward to your more established years. Friendships still change and sometimes they just fall apart. Sometimes they even fall apart and no one ever tells you....those are the ones that really stink. There are two types of friend break-ups, one of which is the subject of this post today because no matter how old I get or how many accomplishments  I have...no matter how much...
