It’s time to say goodbye (sort of)...

Today marks the end of a chapter.

Why?

Because I haven’t been fully honest with you.

Not in a way that’s been misleading — but in a way where I haven't been fully showing up!

Where I’ve held parts of myself back from this community, from this newsletter.

One thing I’ve learned over the past year: real connection requires real vulnerability.

And you can’t build that without being all in.

But that’s not all.

I’ve also realized how powerful it is to constantly check in with myself—

To ask:

âž” Is this still aligned?

âž” Does this feel like flow, or like friction?

Because when you’re in alignment, you get:

  • More creativity
  • More ease — at work and in life
  • Less stress
  • More abundance (and a lot less scarcity thinking)

And truthfully?

Over the past few months, I knew this newsletter wasn’t living up to what it could be.

I heard your feedback — about the content, the name, the direction you wanted more of.

And I went inward too — asking what felt most true for me.

It’s in that intersection — between what you need and what feels aligned for me — that the real magic happens. ✨

So, what are we saying goodbye to?

Glow & Elevate — at least in its current form.

But don’t worry: something even better is coming next week!

I launched this newsletter a year ago with one simple goal:

To help you feel better — with real stories, small shifts, and grounded wellness strategies.

And together, we did just that.

This community grew to over 20,000 people (!!) —

People who are all striving to live healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives — at work and at home.

But now, it’s time for the next level!

The truth is:

I’m more than a stress and hormone coach.

I’m more than a parent navigating the ups and downs of life (just like you).

I’m also a builder.

A founder to my core.

Someone who’s obsessed with what’s next — in health, in wellness, and in the business that powers it all.

And I want to bring all of that to the table.

To help you live well while building something meaningful — whether that’s a family, a business, a brand, or simply a better life.

So next week, here’s what you’ll see:

✨ A fresh name

✨ A refined look

✨ A direction that feels deeply aligned

What’s not changing?

  • Wellness insights
  • Real-life reflections
  • Science-backed, simple tips
  • A weekly space to feel seen, supported, and inspired

What is new?

You’ve already seen a little preview — but we’ll also go even deeper into the intersection of wellness and business.

Get ready for fresh industry insights, honest hot takes, and behind-the-scenes looks at what’s really happening — so you can spot what’s real, what’s hype, and how to make smarter moves for your life and your goals.

You won’t want to miss it!

Some of you have been here since day one — and I’m beyond grateful for you. 🙏

This next chapter? It’s going to be even better!
​

Your Challenge This Week

Ask yourself: What’s draining me — and what’s filling me up?

This week, make one small shift toward alignment.

Maybe it’s clearing your calendar. Saying no. Recommitting to your morning walk.

Or maybe it’s finally taking the first step toward building that thing you’ve been dreaming about.

Whatever it is — do it.

And if you feel like sharing, hit reply — I’d love to hear about it!​

🤍 Social Edit

What I've been sharing & talking about on social this week:

🌱 Wellness News & Hot Takes

​Alo Moves just partnered with Flex to let users pay for wellness subscriptions using HSA/FSA dollars — and honestly, it’s about time.

For years, wellness lived in this weird gray area between healthcare and self-care — not essential enough to be covered, but critical enough that people spend billions out of pocket.

This move taps into a bigger shift: wellness is no longer a luxury. It's becoming part of mainstream health strategy.

Other companies, like TrueMed (founded by Calley Means and Justin Mares), are also pushing to make pre-tax dollars usable for prevention, not just treatment.

But the real genius here? For Alo, it’s a distribution play.

Their core business is still apparel — but now, by lowering the cost of entry into their movement and mindfulness ecosystem through HSA/FSA channels, they’re dramatically expanding reach.

More people experience the brand at a lower upfront cost → more loyalty → more apparel and product sales over time.

It’s a smart flywheel: build trust through accessible wellness, monetize through lifestyle.

Smart brands will meet consumers where they are — blending movement, mindfulness, and now smarter ways to pay for it.

The future of wellness isn’t just more accessible. It’s more integrated.
