Okay ladies, I need your help!

I’m starting to plan our next Women’s Spark Nite and instead of guessing what you’d want, I thought…why don’t I just ASK you?

I have a few ideas, but I want to know which one would actually make you text a girlfriend and say, “We should go to this!”

Take a look at the options and drop your vote below. 👇

A, B, C or D

Or have a completely different idea? I want to hear that too!

These nights are about real conversations, real connection and topics that actually matter to women in this season of life. So tell me what YOU want.

And tag the girlfriend you’d bring with you. 💕

Today I was supposed to be the day. I was going to have hip replacement surgery.

It’s been on my calendar for months. I planned around it, worked around it, counted down the days waiting for some relief.

And today… I’m not having surgery.

A few weeks ago, some unexpected health stuff showed up and my doctors decided we needed to figure that out first.

Was I disappointed? Yep.

Was I READY? Heck ya!

I know it sounds weird to be ready (maybe even excited) for surgery. But I am ready to fix this hip, ready to walk without a cane and ready to get back to doing all the things I’ve been missing.

But lately I’ve been thinking a lot about what happens when life changes the plan.

My first instinct is usually to fight it. Fix it. Figure it out. Find another date. Make a new plan. DO SOMETHING.

But maybe this season isn’t asking me to figure everything out right now. Maybe it’s asking me to pay attention. Maybe it's asking me to slow down, to take care of myself, to let other people help me. And to trust that a different timeline doesn’t automatically mean a worse one.

Today was supposed to be surgery day.

Instead, it’s just… today.

And I’m learning that maybe I don’t have to make today anything other than what it is. 🩷

Sometimes you just need a little time away.

To disconnect from the noise.
To stop thinking about what needs to get done. To quit trying to figure everything out.

And just… be.

This little getaway was exactly that for me. ❤️

Turns out, doing nothing for a little while can actually be exactly what you need.

Sometimes the best way to reconnect with yourself is to distract yourself and disconnect from everything else for a bit.

You don’t always need to push forward. Sometimes you need to unplug.

I asked a room full of women a question Wednesday night…

If you had an entire week with no work, no responsibilities and nobody to take care of, would you know exactly what YOU wanted to do?

ONE woman raised her hand. 😂.

And honestly, that moment pretty much summed up why I wanted to create Women’s Spark Nite.

We spent our first night together talking about hormones, cortisol, blood sugar, nutrition, stress and what our bodies actually need during this stage of life.

There were laughs, lots of notes being taken and plenty of Ohhhh…THAT explains a few things moments.

But underneath all of it was something even bigger:

We can learn how to take better care of ourselves, but we also have to make room in our lives to actually DO it.

One woman told me afterward that women want to feel heard and validated during this stage of life.

Another said she walked away feeling empowered, educated and motivated.

Another told me that she knows she needs to make more time for herself and her health, but struggles with actually doing it.

YES. This is exactly what I hoped these nights could become.

A place to learn.
A place to laugh.
A place to talk about the things so many of us are experiencing but aren’t always saying out loud.
And a place to connect with other women who get it.

Thank you to every woman who showed up for our very first Women’s Spark Nite. And a huge thank you to Alison for sharing her knowledge and to Jen and The Edge for giving us such a great place to gather.

We’re doing it again in October!

And I want YOU to help shape the next one.

What do you want to learn more about?
What are you navigating right now?
What do you wish more women were talking about?

Brain fog. Mood swings. Weight that won't budge. Energy that packed up and left. 😩

We keep calling it "just aging" or "just stress" — but a lot of it traces back to hormones. And most women have no idea.

At Women's Spark Night, is breaking down the "wait, that's hormones?!" moments in a real, no-judgment conversation.
