A Cleanse for Your Career
When it comes to the seasons of the year, I try not to play favorites, but…
Spring is here, and I can’t help feeling excited!
I can feel the energy shifting around us as plants and plans that have been dormant for months spring back to life.
The increase in natural light inspires me to lighten up in many ways.
It may still be cold outside, but I’m officially in spring cleaning mode.
We deep-cleaned and decluttered our back hallway, and now our first steps into the house feel much lighter and brighter. (“Light,” you may remember, is my word of the year for 2025—and decluttering offers a special kind of lightness!)
However, I have learned that these energy shifts aren’t limited to decluttering tangible items. You can experience the same shift from decluttering intangibles that weigh down your mind, body, and spirit.
But that’s often easier said than done.
That’s why this newsletter is filled with resources to help you cleanse your career and detox your day job so you can embrace lightness this spring.
Nourish to Flourish: Career Cleanse for Spring
If you’ve experienced the rejuvenating effects of a physical detox or decluttering, you understand the concept of energy. All people, objects, and spaces hold energy, giving off vibrational frequencies that can either inspire or drain us.
When this draining energy comes from your career, it leads to stress, burnout, and negative behaviors, and that means it’s time for a career cleanse.

Surprise Bloom: A Secret to Share…
Ahhh! Big news!
I’m still wrapping my head around it, but I’m beyond excited to share that I’m a contributing author in the newest Brave Women at Work anthology: Lessons in Letting Go!
Lessons in Letting Go is more than a book—it’s a collection of stories from bold, inspiring women who have released expectations and stepped into new possibilities. Being part of this project reminded me that we’re never alone and that genuine strength comes from letting go.
