So Happy to Be Back

Hello my dear friend

It’s been a while.

And it’s been a year.

As I began 2025, my life took an unexpected turn with a breast cancer diagnosis - one that stopped me in my tracks and reshaped much of my life.

The months that followed included surgeries, chemotherapy, ongoing treatment, and a level of uncertainty I had not expected.

In addition to all of that, two of my closest friends were also diagnosed with cancer.

I grieved the loss of a friend and three dear family members.

And just before Thanksgiving, my husband - after more than 30 years in a job he truly loved - was laid off.

There has been loss. And grief. And moments where the ground felt unsteady beneath my feet.

And… there has been joy, love, and peace.

During treatment, I was surrounded by an incredible outpouring of care - prayers, messages, cards, meals, flowers, and kindness that carried me through.

I was able to take a family vacation we had previously planned (beautifully timed between chemo treatments).

I didn’t lose all my hair! I lost a lot, but not all!

And perhaps the most tender of all, we welcomed a new grandchild into the world.

Oh, my heart. We are completely in love.

This year has brought and taught me more than I could have imagined.

I’ve experienced fear, grief, sadness, and love, joy, and gratitude.

I’ve learned that it all belongs in a life fully lived.

And I’ve learned that there is so much we don’t know until we do.

I trust that these experiences will allow me to love more deeply, listen more fully, and support others with greater compassion.

All of this is to say… I’m back.

Gently. Slowly. Honestly.

I have so much I’d love to share with you here, if you’ll allow me.

Reflections, practices, reminders, tools - the kind that help us come home to ourselves in the midst of real life.

I’m easing in, listening closely to my body and my heart, and letting a gentle rhythm - not pressure - guide the way.

I may send weekly emails or I may not. And that feels right for now.

As always, my intention as a life coach, is to help you move from stress, overwhelm, fear, and scarcity into a life of peace, ease, joy and abundance.

In the months ahead I hope you’ll join me as I share on topics like:

•The art of rest and slow living

•Shifting from fear and scarcity into love and abundance

•Accomplishing goals without burning out

•The foundations of a life well lived — sleep, nourishment, movement, and nervous system health

•Relational health, communication, and connection

•Social health and navigating loneliness

•Decluttering our minds, homes, and lives

•Body image and pro-aging

•Post-traumatic growth

•Giving and receiving love

•Purposeful, meaningful living

I’m also opening a few private coaching spots for women who feel ready for more peace, clarity, and alignment - without pushing or forcing themselves there.

If you’re curious, I offer a complimentary 45-minute phone consultation to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays - filled with meaningful moments.

Stay true. Stay present. And be gentle with yourself.

With warmth and gratitude,

Marcy
