How Amelia followed her mid-life calling to writing about happiness and habits
How to build happiness as a daily practice
The freedom women can find through change in mid-life
Finding happiness in motherhood - even in the throes of challenging moments

Join The Practice - A complete mindfulness library for women in mid-life.
This fall, I’m taking 16 women to the Arizona desert for a 4-day Women’s Retreat, October 22–25. Think meditation, yoga, long walks in nature, curated meals, and space to actually breathe- all designed to help you slow down and reset. We’re keeping it to just 16 women, and there’s a special rate available through May 10th if it’s calling to you.

I posted a reel last week about how I parent teens as a sober mom, and it led to a lot of important questions popping up in my DMs: Do my kids drink? What are my rules around drinking? Do I talk to my kids about alcohol?
There are so many things in midlife that feel ungrounding. Our bodies are changing in wildly uncomfortable ways. Our children are getting older (and maybe leaving the nest). We’re facing the reality of aging parents. And then there’s something that I hear so many women speak about: a persistent midlife itch that there is something more for us. A next chapter. A new calling. Yet, what exactly that ‘new thing’ is rarely feels clear. So today, we’re going to talk about it:
Jaemi Pierson is one of the most inspiring people I follow on Instagram, so I had to bring her wisdom straight to you on WithIn!
Last week I found myself in my closet, overcome by a heavy bout of The Sunday Scaries - It wasn’t anxiety about the approaching Monday, but anxiety about the entire fall season. After a beautiful summer focused on my family, the realities of the fall felt like too much to face.
