  • Don't Plan Yet-Pause First

    As July winds down, the pressure to jump into fall planning begins to rise. But before you start colour coding your calendar or signing up for one more thing, this episode invites you to do something different- to pause.

    In this episode I am inviting you to resist the hustle of back-to-school prep and productivity checklists and instead take a pause. In this short, soulful episode, I'll reflect on what’s been giving us life lately — and what we’re truly craving more of. You’ll walk away with three gentle questions to ask yourself before you plan your next season.

  • Digital Boundaries for a Creative Summer

    This episode is all about unplugging from your phone.--Don't worry it's not forever- just for a few minutes each day. Has endless scrolling and posting stolen your creative spark? In this episode I am sharing how I am setting digital boundaries this summer. I am learning how to still enjoy social media without spending so much time on it.

  • Why Trying Something New could Be the Healthiest Thing You Do This Summer

    By midlife, we’ve mastered the art of managing everyone else’s life; but what about our own dreams? In this episode, I will explore why trying something you’ve always wanted isn’t just fun — it might be the healthiest, most healing thing you do this summer. If you've ever tucked away a creative spark or put off a personal dream, this is your invitation to bring it back to life.

  • The Mid-Summer Return

    Midway through summer, it’s easy to feel the pressure to do more, be more, or chase some kind of glow-up. But what if your next season isn’t about transformation, but instead presence?

    In this gentle episode, I explore how to move through midlife (and midsummer) with more grace and less urgency. You’ll learn how to recognize the false promises of glow-up culture, and how the Pomalo philosophy can help you reclaim joy, beauty, and peace — without the hustle or performance.

    Inside, I share:

    • What glow-up culture really ask of midlife women (and how it mirrors hustle culture)

    • A Pomalo reframe on beauty, self-worth, and timing

    • A simple journal prompt to help you reconnect with your inner glow

    • An invitation to slow down, reset, and savour what matters

    This episode is your permission slip to listen inward, and return to what lights you up — softly and slowly.

    Because your glow doesn’t come from reinvention.

  • The Power Pause, what Fried Chicken taught me about Clarity

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple moment over fried chicken and salad that led to a surprisingly powerful shift.

    This episode is about clarity — not the kind that comes from another to-do list or productivity tool, but the kind that arrives quietly around the dinner table.

    I’ll walk you through what I call the Pomalo Power Pause — a grounding practice that starts with one thoughtful question and opens up space for a summer that feels more aligned and more connected.

    So before your calendar fills up or the pressure of a “perfect summer” creeps in, let’s take a breath together — and ask a better question. Listen to the simple question I'm asking, and allowing to guide our summer plans.

  • Summer Rhythms — Working With, Not Against, Your Flow

    This week, I am talking about how to create gentle structure in the summer — by following your rhythms instead of forcing routines. When school’s out and the calendar shifts, so can your energy.

    I explore:
    -What rhythms are and why they work better than rigid routines
    -How your body, schedule, and soul each carry their own tempo


    -Ways to anchor your day with mini rituals instead of endless to-do lists


    This episode is an invitation to do less, more meaningfully — and to let rhythm (not pressure) guide your summer days.

  • Unbusy Your Summer: What Happens When You Slow Way Down

    What if this summer didn’t need to be magical — just meaningful?

    In today’s episode, we’re exploring what it looks like to unbusy your summer. For many moms, summer brings a strange pressure: school’s out, routines shift, and we’re somehow expected to entertain, relax, and keep everything running at once. But what if you slow down on purpose?

    We’re talking about the real (and science-backed) adrenaline rush we get from being busy — and how that constant high can leave us exhausted, anxious, and emotionally disconnected. We unpack why it’s so hard to do less — and why embracing stillness can feel so unfamiliar, even scary.

    But here’s the truth: doing less isn’t laziness. It’s where restoration begins. Listen to start this summer off with more joy and less exhaustion.

  • Why Moms deserve a Summer Reset

    While the kids get a summer break, it feels like Moms get a summer pile-on. This week, I am changing the script on what summer should look like for moms.

    If you’ve ever felt like summer is just one long blur of running around and keeping everyone else happy, this episode is your invitation to do things differently.

    ✨ In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • Why moms need a summer reset.

    • What a reset means (hint: it’s more about clarity than rest)

    • How to intentionally plan for joy, focus with your kids, and with yourself.

    • Why saying “no” to pressure lets you say “yes” to what matters most

    We often think we need to escape summer to enjoy it; instead, we need a better rhythm.

    This episode is your warm welcome into Summer of Pomalo — a slower, more meaningful way to experience the season.
