Does it ever feel like your to-do list has a mind of its own? Between work deadlines, personal goals, and the never-ending demands of daily life, staying organized can feel like a full-time job. Oh, have I been there... trying to juggle everything while still carving out time for self-care or just sitting to have a nice cup of tea.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that the right organization tools can make a huge difference—not just in getting things done but in how you feel while doing them. The key? You don’t want the app to feel like adding a new habit; you want something that fits seamlessly into your routine already. When an app feels natural and easy to use, you’re so much more likely to stick with it—and actually reap the benefits of feeling less frazzled and more in control.

In this article, I’m sharing my top picks for the best organization apps. Each one is thoughtfully chosen to tackle a specific need, from time tracking to task...

When I brew myself an herbal tea, I always feel a bit like a medicine woman.

There’s something empowering about pulling down jars filled with precious petals, leaves, stems, and roots—listening to my body as it guides me in choosing the right ones and knowing just how much to use. It's a ritual that’s become a cherished part of my self-care routine.

In addition to some incredible adaptogenic supplements, I’ve relied on herbal teas to support my mental health and nervous system. They help me stay calm, manage daily stress, and stay grounded when life throws the unexpected my way.

As both a life coach and therapist, I’ve been sharing these plant allies with others, guiding them to use these natural remedies to find their own sense of calm.

There's magic in tea. There's comfort and there's medicine.

In this fast-paced world, we all need a solid team of allies to help us live our best lives. Herbal teas are one of my go-to supports—gentle yet powerful...

As a life coach and therapist with over 30 years of experience, I've seen how stress and fatigue can have a huge impact on my clients' day to day experience.

But sometimes, just a small lifestyle shift is all it takes to get back on track.

I learned this lesson when I discovered Rhodiola—an incredible herb that’s become a trusted ally not just for me, but for many women I know navigating life and the many natural changes that come our way.

Unlike those other supplements that end up gathering dust in the cabinet, when I found the best Rhodiola supplement that truly worked in unison with my body, it became a part of my daily regimen.

If you’re here looking for self-care ideas for women, it’s because you’ve done the first step of self-care - saying “yes” to self-care. That’s huge!

Please don’t let this go unnoticed or uncelebrated because it's often just too easy to make excuses, forget to do it, or fall victim to our blindspots keeping us from self care.

But now what?

How do you spend that precious time you’ve carved out just for you? It can be a little intimidating, right? 

But let me be that little birdie in your ear reminding you, “Any act of self-care is enough.” Ladies, don’t let yourself stress out over self-care! Let’s make it easy and restorative. Really, that’s the whole point. 

I made this list of self care ideas specifically with busy, badass women in mind. (Hey, Mamas!) 

There’s no wrong way to use this list, but here are a few ideas:

• Pick a few for your self-care Sunday lineup.
• Print it out...

Summer is the best time to feel like yourself. It’s a perfect time to savor every day.

Summertime has the potential to help you:

1. Rejuvenate and reset
2. Embrace joy and laughter
3. Unleash creativity
4. Prioritize ultimate self-care

When we're having fun, we put aside the worries, the goals, the stress, the have to’s. We can look at where we’ve been and where we’re going. 

Let's start with what you want 

Sometimes, we're so busy, that we don't even know what we want and we don't take the time to figure it out.  

Ask yourself these questions:

What would make this an unforgettable summer? 

What if it was the first summer I got to ________

If I had all the free time I wanted this summer, I'd ________

The best summer I ever had was _________.

These questions can give you clues to what you're longing for and what makes you happy. 

Sit down right now and write it out. Get out your journal and dream. 

I give you full permission to dream...

When I first heard about self-love, I couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed like a punchline in a joke. After all, aren't we taught to prioritize others above ourselves from a young age?
Be selfless, not selfish... that's the narrative I grew up with, especially as a woman.

Reflecting on my upbringing, I realized that the women in my life, though remarkable in so many ways, rarely exemplified self-love. They epitomized giving, always putting others' needs before their own. And so, naturally, I followed suit.

We know that self-care goes right along with self-love. But why is it so hard? 

Years ago when my first coach asked me what I do for self-care, I stumbled to think of some words to say to her and silently thought, "What the hell is she talking about?"

I thought a lot about that question, feeling perplexed and a bit resistant.

Breaking free from the ingrained belief that self-love equated to selfishness wasn't easy.

But then came the epiphany…by nurturing myself,...

The season of giving can be riddled with challenges, inducing guilt and stress. What should be a joyous act of giving and generosity can quickly become a daunting task, a persistent concern about selecting the "perfect gift" for someone.

Let's get real for a second: overconsumption is no joke. Most of us are drowning in stuff already, and the last thing we need is more clutter. We're also well aware that our binge-buying habits do no favors for Mother Earth. We're on a mission it seems to pack landfills to the brim with even more junk. 

And, the prices of everything have risen so who wants to go into debt by overspending?

Yet, amid these challenges, the expectation to exchange gifts persists. It's not a matter of reluctance; it's a question of redefining HOW we approach it.

What if gift-giving could be simple, easy, meaningful, and green?

What if we lived in a world where decisions about gift-giving were effortless, gifts were beautifully wrapped, and every gesture bore...

As women, we face constant scrutiny and comparison, leading us to doubt our self-worth and overlook the extraordinary beauty that resides within us...especially as we age.  But today, we're embarking on a journey to change that narrative and discover the power of self-love.

10 Self Love Practices you can use right now

1. Start Your Day with Positivity:...

It wasn't the clean air or the clear starry sky nights that were the most nourishing. It wasn't the fact that I got to spend 5 days camping with my best friend or that I hiked on smooth flat rock with gorgeous views that made me feel alive. 

All of those things made my heart sparkle and glow. 

But what surprised me the most was the quiet. The stillness. 

It was startling in a way to be in complete soundlessness. I had forgotten about being out in the middle of nowhere how quiet life can be. 

I realized that living in a city or town, the sounds from the freeway are running in the background, even though for me, my house is nowhere near the freeway. 

It was the stillness and deep quiet without the background noise that soothed me the most.
