Some time ago, I wrote about the benefits of ballroom dancing for our physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. I didn't just found She. Fully Alive. I live it.

Dance is one of humanity’s oldest forms of expression. Long before written language, people danced to communicate, celebrate, grieve, worship, heal, and connect with one another. Across cultures and throughout history, dance has served not merely as entertainment but as a way of integrating body, mind, community, and spirit. My husband and I took up ballroom dancing some time ago. This weekend, we will participate in an opportunity called "One Hit Wonder" through the dance company with which we dance.

One of my favorite parts about dance has been the connection with the beautiful young people who chose a non-traditional career field, because it aligned with their passion. The exude joy, and it manifests in their movement and in their ability to connect.



Two of my favorite things about this weekend are:
1. The event is for cancer research
2. YOU ARE ALL INVITED!
Won't you join us? If you can't be there in person, there is a donation option in the link. Here's to joy, connection, and movement!

We’re excited to announce our next Theater Show, happening on Saturday, June 13th, 2026, at our NEW venue, the Masonic Heritage Center in Bloomington. This year’s theme is “One Hit Wonders,” and you’ll enjoy spectacular performances from both professional and amateur dancers.

What if one of the most important things you could do for your well-being was simply become more aware? Not doing more; just being present.

Our physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being are interconnected. When one area is thriving or struggling, it often impacts the others.

That's why I created this Integrated Health Self-Assessment—a simple tool designed to help you pause, reflect, and identify where you are flourishing and where you may need additional support or attention.

Awareness is often the first step toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Life is full of endings.Some arrive with ceremony and recognition—a graduation, retirement, wedding, or funeral.

This morning, during a Peloton run with Kirsten Ferguson, I learned a new acronym that resonated:

FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real

While fear can sometimes protect us from genuine danger, it can also keep us from opportunities for growth, connection, healing, and transformation.

What if some of the limitations we accept are not facts, but stories we've learned to believe?

Where might you need to reevaluate the spaces where fear is limiting you?
At She. Fully Alive., our courses, workshops, retreats, and gatherings are designed to create safe spaces for reflection, learning, and growth. Through compassionate community, evidence-informed practices, and meaningful conversation, we help women examine the beliefs that no longer serve them and step more fully into the lives they are meant to live.
Reflect. Reimagine. Rise.

Boundaries, especially for women, can be interpreted as selfish or inflexible. In reality, boundaries allow us to show up as the best version of ourselves and protect our integrated health.

Ritual is one of humanity’s oldest practices. Across cultures and generations, people have used ritual to mark beginnings and endings, celebrate milestones, process grief, cultivate gratitude, and reconnect with meaning.

In a fast-paced world, many of us move from one experience to the next without pause or closure. Ritual invites us to slow down and intentionally acknowledge what matters. Research continues to show that intentional practices can help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, foster connection, and support healing and emotional well-being.

Ritual does not need to be elaborate to be meaningful. A candle lit with intention; A walk in nature; A moment of reflection at the end of the day; A shared meal. Simple acts can help us feel grounded and connected, and allow us to move forward more fully alive.

Join us on June 13th at the Saint Paul University Club for “Ritual in Everyday Life,” an in-person gathering exploring the ancient wisdom, modern relevance, and everyday practice of ritual for well-being and wholeness.

At She. Fully Alive., Memorial Day is more than the unofficial beginning of summer. It is a moment to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of the men and women who gave their lives in service to others and to the greater good.
Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom, safety, and community are never without cost.
As we gather with family and friends, may we also create space for reflection:
• To remember those who never returned home

• To hold gratitude for the families who carry both pride and grief

• To recognize the importance of connection, compassion, and caring for one another
May we honor their legacy not only with remembrance, but by choosing presence, kindness, courage, and meaningful connection in our own lives.
With gratitude and remembrance,
She. Fully Alive.

Have you ever left a room feeling lighter… or completely drained?

The environments we spend time in—and the energy we bring into them—have a profound impact on our mental, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.

In my newest article, I explore:
• why our nervous systems respond to the emotional climate around us
• how chronically unsafe or negative environments create internal complexity
• the importance of both awareness and boundaries
• and the kind of emotional legacy we leave behind through our presence
People may forget our words, but they often remember how they felt around us.
What kind of atmosphere are we helping create and what do we need to live fully alive?


Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt tension, heaviness, or ease before anyone even spoke?Human beings are deeply affected by the emotional climate around them. Research on emotional contagion suggests that we unconsciously absorb and respond to the emotions, tone, and nervous syste...
