Hey Sizz… can I tell you something?​

It’s been a minute since I’ve shown up in your inbox—and baby, I’ve missed you. But listen… it’s April, and one thing about us April women—Aries and Taurus—we don’t just celebrate a birthday… we celebrate a whole month. And this today? I celebrate turning 50.​

Whew, And let me tell you something honestly… baby, there is a switch that flips when you step into this 50 season. I feel it. I’m clearer. I’m bolder- unapologetic and I love it here.​

And because it’s still my birthday month, I didn’t just want to celebrate me—I want to celebrate you too. So to all my April birthday ladies… happy birthday, beautiful. And to every woman reading this, I want to invite you into something meaningful this year.

​Three Words.

RECONNECT. REINVENT. RECLAIM.

I’m inviting you into a space of discovery… in your identity, your voice, your expression, your style, your boundaries, your beliefs, and how you’ve been showing up in your own life. I’m inviting you to take a real look at the things that have been holding you back—those limiting beliefs, those negative thoughts, the patterns you’ve normalized, the ways you’ve been putting yourself last—and begin to ask yourself, “What do I actually want in this next chapter of my life?”​

Because midlife isn’t about making more excuses… it’s about following what you feel!​

So this year, I’ve created three intentional experiences for YOU! And because you’re part of my Sizzle Insider community, you get exclusive access and a special discount code to use for any of them. (Use code: SIZZLEINSIDER at checkout.)​

Now let me be clear… this is not for everybody. But if you’re ready for something different and something that stretches you out of comfortability in the best way… I want you in the room.​

On August 15, 2026, I’m bringing back Sizzle Social: Girls Night Out—and baby, we’re doing it BIG. This year we’re stepping into a bold, vibrant peacock-inspired experience that’s going to be fun, electric, and full of energy. It’s a night to connect, laugh, show up, and just be in a room with women who are ready to live a little louder and a little freer. Tickets are limited, so when you see the flyer below, go ahead and secure your spot.

Then I’m hosting something brand new that I am incredibly excited about—Own Your Bold Fire: The Midlife Reinvention Experience. This is not just an event, this is an experience. We’re talking real, hands-on reinvention—closet edits, learning how to take your look from day to night, makeup demonstrations that actually make sense, bra fittings (yes, we’re getting it all the way together), color analysis to help you find your bold signature color, and powerful reinvention stories from women who decided to choose themselves. This room is about helping you see yourself differently and step into this next chapter with confidence, clarity, and excitement.

And then we’re closing out the year on October 24, 2026, with the Heart Spaces Wellness and Lifestyle Brunch at Neiman Marcus. This year’s theme is Aligned and Activated, and this experience is all about pouring into your heart, your life, and your next. It’s a beautiful, elevated space filled with real conversations, empowering stories, and moments that help you reflect, reset, and move forward with intention.

At the end of this year, I don’t want you looking back wishing you would have done something different. I want you to look back and say, “I showed up. I tried something new. I chose me.”
​
So whether you come to one… or decide to experience all three with me… just don’t sit this year out.
​
I would love to see you in the room.
​
With love, boldness, and a whole lot of sizzle,

Coach. Author. Firestarter.
