For women navigating the surprising shift that often accompanies menopause and beyond… the transition from striving to serving. Embrace the stage.

The Upgrade reframes menopause from a problem to be dealt with to a time of empowerment for women. Similar to catalyzing life events, the hormonal shift women undergo between 45 and 55 (approximately) is a game changer.

A great Newport book. If you’re struggling to sink into juicy ‘thinking’ work, I highly recommend Deep Work. Newport surveys the myriad distraction mechanisms that make it difficult – including our own intolerance for ‘boredom.’

Belonging is a big deal for human beings. Toko-pa reframes aloneness as a necessary initiation into authenticity. In this sweet and encouraging book, she maps a path to belonging from the inside out.

A fantastic book for breaking free of the fragmented life, and into “felt presence.” Every page offers a new revelation.

If you’re often overwhelmed by Social Media and want practical support for disengaging, this book will do it!
