Jazz at the Ritz, a Devastating Email, & Cha-chings at the Tuileries.

I’ve spent 20 years mentoring women to create extraordinary lives. This is where I share mine, unfiltered.

Day 15 of living in Paris. Not just passing through, but actually settling in to a new way of life.

I won’t pretend the transition has been effortless. There’s a difference between arriving in this city with a suitcase and a return ticket, and arriving knowing this is where you live now. I’m in the second category, and it’s a bit of an unexpected and slightly uneasy feeling I’m navigating.

When a girlfriend of mine from Florence called to ask, “How’s it going in Paris?” My heart welled up with emotion that wasn’t quite sadness…I shared, “It’s great. It’s Paris. AND…it just doesn’t feel like home yet.”

What I do have here are the rituals that are slowly becoming mine. The best market in Paris (President Wilson) for the freshest produce. Two suitcases finally unpacked and everything in its place. Fresh flowers for the week (an absolute feminine ritual must), brightening this Haussmann-style apartment that I used to only dream about from a distance. Homemade cappuccinos in the morning, and an exotic night tea blend to wind down my evenings as I crawl into bed luxuriating in the freshly washed crisp cotton bedding and the next version of me that I came here for.

In the last two weeks, I’ve made exquisite new friends, hosted a mastermind retreat including an intimate jazz dinner at the Ritz…all in this city I’m learning to call mine. And of course have discovered restaurants I’m already planning to revisit. I’ll be sharing all of it below (including a custom map~ for paid subscribers only~ of where all of my favorite Paris insider spots can be found).

The above shot was taken at the Ritz…however, today is a delightful work-from-home day — makeup-free, French music softly playing, feeling grounded in my body and genuinely happy to be sitting here writing this to you.

Co-Operate with God: The Secret to Manifesting Your Biggest Desires Now

You cannot believe in God and believe in lack at the same time. One of them has to go.

In this week’s Divine Living Podcast I talk about what it actually means to “co-operate” with God on your desires. Not pray and wait, not hustle and hope, but claim what’s yours and move on behalf of your dreams. Because your BIG desires are not the issue. Your lack of belief is. Today we change that.
