What if your life could feel like a sanctuary—not just on retreat, but in the everyday?

In this episode, I share why I’m stepping away from social media for the month of February—not as an escape, but as an act of intentional love. From that place, I invite you into a deeper conversation about what it means to create a life that truly supports your energy, your nervous system, and your truth.

I talk about how sanctuary isn’t a place you go—it’s a relationship you build with your time, energy, and attention. I share gentle reflections, simple practices, and honest questions to help you slow down, reconnect, and live in alignment with what matters most.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why sanctuary begins with subtraction, not addition
  • How boundaries become the structure that protects what you value
  • Why your nervous system needs rhythm, not intensity
  • How small, consistent practices can restore clarity and creativity
  • What it means to live intentionally through choice—not pressure

This episode is an invitation to soften, to listen, and to remember that your life is allowed to feel supportive.

If you’d like to learn more about the Spring Intentional Living Weekend Immersion, you’ll find the details in the show notes. And if not—let this episode be enough.

May your life become the sanctuary you’ve been seeking.
