Thrive Inside & Out: Mind, Body & Business


Hello Reader, welcome to my latest newsletter. Today is about prioritizing health and finding clarity before the rush of the holiday season.

When Leaders Thrive, Their Businesses Do Too

In every season of my career, whether scaling startups, advising Fortune 100 brands, or mentoring founders, one truth has remained constant: the health of a business mirrors the health of its leader.

When we are clear, grounded, and connected to purpose, that alignment radiates outward.

Teams move with greater focus and decisions feel less forced.

Growth becomes a natural expression of vision rather than a reaction to pressure. Sunday scaries are no longer a thing!

But when leaders run on empty and are disconnected from their own wellbeing, creativity, or sense of meaning, the ripple is just as strong in the opposite direction.


Hiking: Nature’s Remedy for Health

Hiking is linked to longevity and healthspan. It’s a prescription for any bad day.

We love that it not only helps reduce stress and benefit our bodies, but has also been linked directly to improving our microbiome!

In Japan, doctors sometimes recommend “forest bathing” (shinrin-yoku)—the therapeutic practice of spending time in a forest—as a way to improve mental and physical well-being.

Get Your Brand Holiday-Ready

I only offer a few consulting sessions per quarter, and spots for holiday brand tune-ups are limited. My focused strategy engagement helps small retail brands get clarity on what’s working so you can prioritize your marketing and get better results with less effort.

Holiday Gifting, For You!

My startup's 2026 calendar and meditation journal is on Amazon! It's a hardcover, 80-page, mostly blank journal with just the right amount of prompts to set intentions each month. Your purchase helps support my small business and it's the perfect stocking stuffer, hostess gift, and present for yourself.

Thank you for reading!
