The Mid-Year Open House
48 hours. Full access. Come see what we've been building inside The Intentional Life.
We're halfway through the year.
I want you to sit with that for a second. Not with panic. Not with the voice that says "I haven't done enough." Just with the fact of it. Six months in. Six months to go.
I've been thinking a lot about what I want the second half of this year to look like, not just for me, but for this community I've been building. And I realized something: I've been writing to you every Tuesday for months. You know how I think. You know what I believe. You've read about the mirror and the calendar and the permission slips and the pivots.
But you haven't seen the room.
You haven't seen what happens when women take these ideas off the page and into their actual lives, together. You haven't seen the conversations in #the-inner-work, where women are naming things out loud for the first time. You haven't seen the Monthly Resources that give you practices to carry through each pillar. You haven't met the women who are already inside, doing this work alongside me.
So I'm opening the door.
From June 30 through July 2, The Intentional Life is hosting a Mid-Year Open House. 48 hours of full access, every course, every conversation, every resource. No cost. No commitment. Just come inside and see if this room feels like yours.
Here's what you'll find when you walk in:
The Intentional Life is a community built exclusively for women who are done settling and ready to build something that actually fits. Inside, you'll find:
The Intentional Life Journey, a guided course that walks you through six months of transformation, one pillar at a time. We've been through Mind. Spirit. Body. And in July, we start Work. "The Life You're Building on Purpose."
Weekly inner-work posts, these go deeper than the newsletter. They're the things I think but don't always say in public. The real conversations happen here.
Monthly resources and reflection prompts, tools you can use all month, not just read once and forget.
A room full of women who are doing this alongside you. Not performing. Not competing. Growing.
And here's what I want you to know: this is just the beginning. More courses are coming. More content is coming. What you see during your 48 hours is the foundation, and it's already something I'm deeply proud of. But what's ahead? It's going to be even bigger.
This is also my invitation to you, not just to explore, but to talk to me.
I want your feedback. I want to know what resonates, what you want more of, what questions you're carrying. This community is being built in real time, and the women who are inside right now are shaping what it becomes. Your voice matters here. Your perspective matters here.
And the women inside? They're not strangers. They're going to become the people you grow and learn with, the ones who get it, because they're doing the same work.
In case you missed it, here's what we've been exploring:
This month's pillar was Body, not fitness, not dieting. The kind of body work that starts with looking in the mirror and ends with putting yourself back on your own calendar. If you missed any of these, they're worth the read:
🌿 The Woman Who Disappeared in Her Own Mirror, the moment you realize you've been erasing yourself one small compromise at a time
🌿 More Days Than Not, the only habit framework that actually works, and why shame has no place in it
🌿 It's Not Vanity. It's a Promise You Keep to Yourself., why the guilt about caring for your appearance is a lie that keeps women small
🌿 The Next Appointment Is Already on the Calendar, building the system that keeps you on your own calendar, for good
And last month we explored Spirit, what happens when a woman stops apologizing for wanting a beautiful life:
✨ The Day I Stopped Apologizing for Wanting a Beautiful Life, permission to want what you want without guilt
✨ One Thing You're Allowed to Want This Week, naming one desire and refusing to talk yourself out of it
✨ Wanting More Isn't Selfish. It's Self-Respect, the difference between greedy and growing
✨ The Life She Built One 'Yes' at a Time, what happens when you stop waiting for permission and start building
This is what The Tuesday Pivot sounds like every week. And inside The Intentional Life, we go even deeper.
