This week’s episode starts with church bells ringing outside my car window (because of course it does). I’m on my way to get a haircut, but first—I’ve got a few things to share with you.
We’re talking about the Lavender & Lore event I did last year while in the middle of radiation + chemo, and how I’m approaching it differently this year.
Here’s what we cover:
✨ Last year’s Lavender & Lore—showing up exhausted, hot, and halfway through treatment.
✨ The unexpected blessings: a new dog park community, support I didn’t even know I needed, and lavender treats.
✨ What I lost during cancer treatment (and what I’ve let stay lost).
✨ Saying yes when opportunities knock twice.
✨ Preparing for events when your bowels might have other plans (yep, we’re going there)(again).
✨ Why “My Healing Comes First” is still my north star.
✨ Feeling into where I am now—cancer-free, clearer, and grateful.
This episode is less about selling books and more about showing up as I am. Because sometimes the real abundance comes in sideways—through community, connection, or someone offering to walk your dog.

Upcoming: my Better Homes & Boundaries Holiday Edition zine+workshop for unplanning the holidays and making them your own.
