About 90% of my time the past 3 days has been devoted to launching my new and improved life coaching programs. You’ve probably noticed new bits on my website along with photos of me in wacky sunglasses and a random flamingo (I call her Pinkie).

I’ve never been so excited about my programs before, and I feel really proud of the new content and bonus features, especially the 2 brand new workbooks The Rise and Shine Guide and the FOMO Eliminator.

But…that does mean I haven’t been getting as much self-care this week as I’m used too. Once this weekend’s over I think I totally deserve a couple uninterrupted hours on the couch with a stack of magazines and all the jasmine tea I can drink.

How do you like to relax after a busy work week or when you finish a big project?

While I put the finishing touches on my programs, here are some tidbits for you to peruse at your leisure.
