Hello Reader!
I'm writing this in the middle of pre-vacation chaos. You know the drill – a million things on the to-do list, debates with my kids about how many swimsuits to pack for Spain (seriously, why do I care - how much room does a swimsuit take up?), and the eternal question of whether to wear pants on the plane.
This trip has been a long time coming – originally cancelled in the earliest days of the pandemic and now finally back on the books. So naturally, I'm in full "aspirational goals before vacation" mode, which means I have a ridiculous number of things I want to accomplish before I leave.
Here's what's funny: in the middle of all this pre-travel madness, I'm taking time to write you an extra email that wasn't on my schedule. About a workshop I wasn't planning to offer this year.
Why? Because a couple weeks ago I sat down to do my own mid-year review, and once again, it absolutely blew my socks off how valuable this process is. The renewed energy, focus, and commitment I felt afterward? It reminded me that some things are too important not to share – even when your brain is consumed with swimsuit logistics.
I honestly wasn't planning to offer a mid-year review workshop this year. Last year's session was incredible, but with family travel and the end-of-school chaos, my instinct was to keep things simple. Sometimes the wise choice is to say no, right?
But clearly, this process had other plans for me.
The Magic of Mid-Year Reflection
Here's what happened when I carved out that time for myself:
Clarity emerged about what I'm truly proud of from the first half of the year (including some wins I'd completely forgotten about). Themes surfaced that I hadn't noticed while I was in the thick of daily life. And most importantly, I got crystal clear on what deserves my attention for the rest of 2025.
The whole experience reminded me why I love this work so much – and why it feels too important not to share. There's something magical about how this process cuts through the noise and reconnects you with what truly matters for the rest of 2025.
In a world full of external messages about what you should be doing, this is a chance to reconnect with your own wisdom and insights.
Three Questions to Get You Started
Before I tell you about the workshop, here are three prompts that can shift your perspective right now:
- What am I genuinely proud of from the last 6 months? (Personal and professional both count. Little victories absolutely matter.)
- Looking back, what themes emerged? (What patterns do you notice in your choices, challenges, or growth?)
- What would truly delight me to accomplish in the next 6-18 months? (Keep it to 6 goals max – mix of personal and professional.)
Just thinking through these questions can create momentum and that renewed sense of purpose. But there's something powerful about doing this work alongside other people who also care about creating meaningful lives and work.
Join Me for a Virtual Mid-Year Review
Thursday, July 24th (4-5:30 PM EST)
I'm keeping promotion simple this year because I want to focus on the experience itself. You'll get the actual workbook I use, dedicated time for reflection, and the energy that comes from a committed group.

Friends in other time zones: If you want to join but can't make this time, let me know! I might be able to add an additional time or record a version to share with you.
Save the Date: Vision Board Workshop
And if you're in the Buffalo area (or willing to travel), save Saturday August 23rd for an in-person vision board workshop. It's the perfect complement to this mid-year work – turning your intentions into something visual and inspiring.
E-mail me to reserve a spot - I’m still working on location details so no registration page yet!
Much love,
P.S. Sometimes the things we think we don't have time for are exactly what we need most. This mid-year review work falls squarely in that category for me.
