Like so many women, I often feel like ten people wrapped up in one. I’m a mother, a wife, a career professional, a community member, a daughter, a sister, a best friend, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur, and an average human being. Each of these roles comes with competing demands, and like everyone else, I struggle with the expectations I place on myself to be everything for everyone at all times. However, I remain eternally curious and filled with joy, gratitude, and wonder as I embrace this journey of life. I stay grounded in my essence while constantly seeking growth. Thank you for joining me as we navigate this grounded journey together.
My Mission
You are why I created The Grounded Journey. I want to create a space where we can be imperfect in our meandering (or hurried) journey of growth, learning, love, and adventure.
Why I Got Started
The Grounded Journey is my space for you… for us. As a career professional, I found that places like this are invaluable for resources and community as I try to find answers to life’s unwritten playbook. After decades (gulp!) working in the corporate world, over 13 years as a parent, more than 15 years as a wife, almost 30 years as a courageous woman, and over 40 years as a human being, I still don’t have all the answers… but we’re on this journey together.
What You’ll Find Here
- Wellness & Whole-Body Healing: Real-life ways to care for your body and mind.
- Balancing Work & Life: Strategies for prioritizing your personal life while continuing to nurture your career
- Parenting Teens & Beyond: Less advice…more shared experience. Let’s face it…no one has all the answers. What works for me might not work for you, but I’ll share what’s working and how I’m learning through the journey.
- Travel, Adventure & Finding Calm: How connecting to nature, new cultures, and the beautiful world can help us reset, grow, and recharge.
Why “The Grounded Journey”
I grew up in the lush Pacific Northwest, and now call the beautifully rugged Texas Hill Country my home. You can’t get more opposite environments, but one thing all the places I’ve traveled to have in common is the richness of culture, the authenticity of people, and the sisterhood in sharing this life journey. We are all wandering down a path that leads to the same place. Let’s enjoy the journey along the way. And as our roots continue to spread, let’s not forget to be grounded in who we are and where we came from.
Let’s wander on this journey together. Send me a comment, join our mailing list, and check out my social media for the latest.
