As the end of 2025 is coming closer, it's common to see reminders about goal deadlines everywhere. While for some, these countdowns can be motivating, many successful and ambitious individuals find that this added urgency creates unnecessary stress. The reminders to "hustle" and “push hard” to finish all your projects before December 31 can often feel everything else but inspiring.
A short guide to noticing what’s already working: for people who are high achievers but struggle to celebrate the small things.
The air turns crisp. Leaves change their colors to beautiful yellow, orange, brown, and red, and they dance their final dance before drifting gently to the ground. As the days get shorter, it’s time to light a candle in the evening, and there’s a quiet invitation in the air to slow down, soften, and let go.
Exercising on your own can feel repetitive. It’s easy to skip a day or cut a session short when no one else is around. Being part of a group changes that. Group workouts and wellness meetups bring people together in a way that makes moving feel easier and more enjoyable.
Late-summer self-care can be simple and useful. Instead of big plans or new habits, choose a few small things that make the day easier and help you feel a bit more steady when the heat drags at your energy.
You may have heard that mindful movement outdoors can increase your energy, release stress, and reconnect you to your body, but having heard of it isn’t the same as doing. If you’ve found yourself stuck in the same cycle of “I should move more”, but never quite follow through, you’re not alone.
Do you ever notice how stepping outside isn’t just a change of scenery, but it’s actually a full body, full mind experience? Moving in nature helps you tap into that mind-body connection in a way indoor workouts can’t. When you walk, run, stretch, or dance under an open sky, your body and emotions sync up, giving you a full-body experience from head to toe.
A brand-new year is here, filled with fresh opportunities and possibilities to uplevel your life, prioritize yourself, and have your glow seen. So let’s pause for a moment. Before we dive headfirst into the new year, let’s take a gentle, loving look at where we are right now, since “now” is always the only moment we truly have.
As the warmer days approach as signs of summer being around the corner, it's the perfect time to get your mind, heart, and body ready for that beautiful inside-out summer glow. It's not really about looking good on the outside, or getting a slim bikini body (we don’t believe in that at all over here!), but about feeling confident and radiant from within and being strong and resilient in case you may face any challenges this summer.
When you’re going on a trip (or are headed to a retreat like The Glow Camp), maintaining a consistent skin care routine might not be your priority. Yet, taking care of your skin while you’re away from home is not only achievable, but crucial for a glowing, healthy life.
In a world that never seems to slow down, where our to-do lists grow longer, and our minds become more and more chaotic every day, self-care often takes a backseat. We find ourselves mentally overwhelmed, physically exhausted, and emotionally disconnected from ourselves. But what if there was a simple way to reclaim our well-being, get our physical energy back, cut through the noise of all the things you are supposed to be doing for yourself, and find peace within ourselves? I’m sharing the four steps with you to simplify self-care and quit overwhelm for good: Rest, Move, Nourish, and Glow.
While I’m sitting at the pool in the middle of the jungle in Bali, I had to think of something that I shared with my clients in our workshop last month: Did you know that 92% of New Year's goals fail by January 15th? That was just last week. This means that most people have already thrown their New Year’s intentions over board. If that’s you, here’s how to readjust your goals to make sure you can create your dreamy glow life this year.
Many of my clients struggle with excessive screen time, spending hours scrolling through their phones while procrastinating important tasks. The burning question I pose to them is a fundamental one: Are you in control of your phone, or is your phone controlling you? Find out about 3 simple phone settings to help you reclaim your time!
Confidence is something every woman desires to have more of. And many successful professional women do feel confident already, but mostly in their safe and comfortable environments. What if in 2024, you were able to strengthen your confidence and reach new levels of satisfaction, contentment, and success through attending a self-love retreat on the other side of the world?
Every year, as the calendar gets closer to December 31, social media fills with countdowns of how many days are left to achieve our goals. It's a trend that many have embraced, but I can't help but feel it adds unnecessary pressure, especially for high-achieving individuals like you. The incessant calls to "hustle" and "work hard" to meet your goals before the year's end can often feel overwhelming. In this blog post, I'd like to explain why this trend doesn't sit well with me.
Last week, I attended a 3-day in-person event with my coach Maya in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I haven't been at a coaching event like this since 2019, and it was so good to travel around the world for something special, be in the room with amazing women that I got to connect with, and to work on my future life dreams after all these years of zoom calls.
There's so much I learned and was reminded of, so I have put together the top 3 benefits of traveling to events where you invested in yourself:
Who doesn't desire a fulfilled life, one with meaning and purpose, where you can only be the best version of yourself, impact people, and make a difference in this world? Where your work “makes sense”, and you see a direct result of the hard work you’re putting in every day? Many high-achieving and successful women crave a more meaningful life, a life with purpose, a life where they don't just work for a company where they’re replaceable at any moment.
The bible says: "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest [...] will never cease." [Genesis 8:22] Here's why this is so important: In order to be able to harvest, you have to plant the seed first. If you keep your seed in your thoughts, locked up in a safe space, and never put it into soil, you can wait forever to harvest.
As someone who loves control, is perfectionist in the details, and appreciates a good plan, it can sometimes be challenging when things don't fall into place the way I wanted. Many of us have visions and dreams, things we want to achieve, do, accomplish, have, become. And while it is great to have the dreams, there are a few things that we need to take into consideration before we can go all in on them.
At the Glow Company, we don't want to "finish the year strong". We want to finish the year aligned. We want to finish the year feeling at peace. We want to finish the year feeling harmonious within ourselves, in our lives, in our environment, in our relationships.
I recently heard someone say "I'm so ready for this year to be over and to start fresh in 2023!". I frowned and asked why. She said how bad this year was for her and how she needed a clean slate. While I can understand that there are seasons that are more challenging than others, a New Year is just a mind game.
As the seasons change. we also need to remain flexible and adjust our self-care practices. You may want to tune inwards and see if what you're doing still feels good, or if there's something you'd like to adjust.
When I work with my busy professional clients, the first thing we look at is usually their sleep. When you're struggling with overwhelm, high levels of stress, and a calendar with little to no time for yourself, we have to first focus on getting your physical energy in a great place. This is where sleep comes in - and as you may very well know, electronics and social media don’t necessarily promote restful sleep.
Busy, ambitious, and perfectionist women like you not only have a full calendar, but also feel like they’re constantly battling with time, which can leave them feeling behind, stressed and overwhelmed, and like they’re not “enough” with what they’re able to do. At least that’s how I used to feel a few years ago!
I have caught myself thinking "I'm so behind with everything" these past few days. My apartment needs a clean up, I need to wash my tights for work, and paper work letters are piling up on my desk. It may feel overwhelming to have an endless to do list (whether on your phone, on a piece of paper, or even just in your head) that makes you feel like you’re not doing enough and you’re being inefficient.
I took last week off work, and it honestly felt soooo good! I wanted to share two things that I have learned from staying off my computer and social media most of last week.
What exactly does lack of discipline look like? You set your alarm 30 minutes earlier to meditate for three days, then stop. You workout three times a week for a few weeks, then stop. You have everything ready to read a few pages before sleep, then stop after a week. You may be wondering: Why is this so hard?
What if you didn’t have to detox so heavily and radically, because your lifestyle is already healthy overall? What if you had a healthy balance between allowing yourself to be human and eating a chocolate bar here and there, spending some conscious time on IG, and Netflix-ing with intention and moderation, without blaming yourself? What if you loved yourself so much that you stayed away from coffee, because you know it gives you headaches when you don't have it, because the body is addicted?
The Transtheoretical Model of Change (or 5 Stages of Change) is a model in psychology that helps you identify whether or not you're ready for a change in your life. Just wanting something doesn’t necessarily mean somebody is actually ready to take the action necessary for the change to unfold in their life. In this blog post, I'm explaining the five stages of change, hoping that it will help you identify where you’re at with the change you’ve been dreaming about.
