Warning…impending ‘New Year, New Me’ post! I’m typically not a fan of New Year’s resolutions, but this year feels different. Things have gone too far.

The summer is always tough for wellbeing businesses, but things didn’t pick up in September like they usually do, either. It was a rough month, both financially and emotionally. But I had my retreat weekend to keep me focused and look forward to. It was an incredible weekend, as always. But the moment I returned home, not only did I receive some unexpected news about the future of my retre
