  • The Jews of Poland | The Tour That Made Me Cry

    Standing face-to-face with the painful history of World War II during a “Jews of Poland” tour, I experienced the trip as the only non-Jew in the group, which gave me a perspective I couldn’t have found on my own. Walking through the ruins pressed a deep weight on all of us and reminded me how midlife isn’t a finish line but a powerful reset button if you choose to use it. In this episode of Come With Me, I share that journey in hopes it inspires reflection, growth, and transformation from even the darkest moments.

  • What Happens When You EMBRACE Discomfort in Midlife?

    The last few months, I’ve been taking big steps in my life and business, and yes — it’s uncomfortable — but I know what I want is on the other side. Embracing discomfort, especially in midlife, transforms fear and uncertainty into opportunities, growth, and confidence. Step into the uncomfortable, and you’ll discover untapped potential and the next chapter you’ve been waiting for.

  • Come With Me Series: I'm Walking to a CLEARER Next Chapter in Boston!

    When you’re in midlife and can’t seem to hear your own thoughts, the best way to find clarity isn’t through more thinking — it’s through movement. Walking clears the mental clutter, connects ideas, and helps your intuition rise above the noise. So lace up, step outside, and let each stride guide you toward your next chapter — one step, one breath, one block at a time.

  • Are You SABOTAGING Your Next Chapter Dreams?

    When something isn’t working, try asking yourself, “What if I am wrong?” This question shifts you from frustration to curiosity, opening the door to new perspectives and opportunities. In this episode, I share how asking it helped me navigate publishing a magazine during COVID and revisiting my possibilities map, leading to surprising discoveries and a fresh view of my next chapter.

  • Is Downsizing to be Near the GRANDKIDS Really Worth It?

    Downsizing to be near the grandkids can feel like a dream—more time together, deeper connections, and shared everyday moments. But it can also come with unexpected trade-offs, like loss of space, independence, and the comfort of familiar routines. In this episode, I share my own journey from a big family home to a smaller apartment, along with a mini tour of my new space.

  • Come with Me Series: Why Parisian Shopping is Still The Best

    Shopping in midlife isn’t just about buying things—it’s a way to rediscover yourself, spark creativity, and explore who you are now. On my shopping trip in Paris, I found inspiration in everything from trying new styles to wearing my grandmother’s earrings and bringing flowers into my home. Each little indulgence became a way to express myself, celebrate my journey, and design a next chapter that feels truly mine.
