This week on the podcast I am sharing a conversation I had with my friend and client Kelly Wevley, midlife mother of four and wellness advocate. We talk about what it means to host meaningful gatherings—especially when juggling busy family lives and evolving traditions. She joined me to talk about how my “Rethink Hosting” workshop tools can help you enjoy your holidays more, focus on connection, and stress less about the details. 3 key takeaways: Focus on What Matters: The joy of holiday hosting is about being together, not having a spotless house or an elaborate meal. Sometimes we can forget that.Thoughts like “it’s the people that bring me joy” can align our energy. It can be helpful to reframe hosting to prioritize those connections over the stress of the logistical details. Delegate & Communicate: Notice what energizes you—and what doesn’t. Let family members pitch in where they’d like, and communicate expectations and invitations ahead of time for smoother, more enjoyable gatherings. Embrace “Scruffy Entertaining”: Not everything has to be perfect. Sometimes, “scruffy entertaining”—where things are casual and relaxed—creates a more welcoming, authentic environment for everyone. Let’s let go of perfection and choose joy, presence, and a little bit of “scruffy” fun! My Rethink Hosting Workhop is Wednsday Nov. 4th at noon. I would love to have you join us. You can click on the calendar and see all the upcoming group coaching sessions. Join anytime and invite a friend! I will link my podcast in the comments.

Hey friends, Happy August! I hope you are finding moments of rest & joy. I have started my new role as Executive Director of the NH Council of Churches. Having a summer protocol for my energy has been a huge help in this new season. I am also excited about my summer coaching series. You can join us live at Noon EST to learn how to Fill Your Soul with Sunshine this summer. I would love to have you join us. Look for the link in the calendar in the Skool portal. Cheering for you, Kelly

Hey friends, I am on week 3 of a new season of life. My first grandchild was born 3 weeks ago today. One week ago I became the Executive Director of the New Hampshire Council of Churches. My group coaching program returns next Wednesday at noon. For the summer we will be talking about tools to Fill Our Soul with Sunshine. What’s your favorite self care tool? I’ll share mine in the comments.

Hey friends, Hope it’s pleasant where you are today. NH is hot and covered in yellow pollen. I’m thankful for AC! I wanted to let you know what’s coming up in life coaching these next few weeks. Enneagram basics is ending on Wednesday. I’ll be hosting a couple of human design conversations in June. July & August are a slower season where I offer workshops to implement The Artist’s Way and host a weekly soul care & sunshine group coaching session. I’ll also be offering an “Unlock Your Voice” podcast course over the summer. My live sessions are free, and the replay is in the classroom for at least one week. Hope to see you at one of the live sessions this summer!!!

If you’ve been wondering what your human design means for aligned energy, I’d love to talk. For the month of May you can schedule a 30 minute 1:1 with me and create a spring/ summer action plan. Send me a message or use the link in the comments.
