SECOND BITE

Redesign your life, work, and play with soul at the center

For midlife women who are ready to relax, express their truth, and be seen contributing their wisdom in bold new ways. Here, you will claim that now.

Because you’re not willing to let another year go by serving everyone’s dreams but your own. 

You’re a sensitive, creative, accomplished woman who refuses to spend the second half of your life rushing around, measuring yourself by a culture that’s losing its soul.

And yet, how often do you still wait until you’ve done enough before you let yourself relax and savor the woman you’re ripening into?

You want to make art without worrying whether it’s “good.”

To make great money without wearing yourself out.

To grow your business without losing the magic that makes it yours.

But even after all the work you’ve done on yourself, most days end with nothing left in the tank for your art, your novel, your workshop idea, or even that picnic you wanted to have by the pond.

It feels easier to numb out or check one more thing off your list than to truly rest.

And the memos from your intuition still feel too risky, too weird, too big. So you fall back on what everyone else is doing, collect another credential or “proven system,” and blame your lack of discipline for the dreams you haven’t launched, even though you work all the time.

No wonder your soul is asking for a new strategy. This is where you’ll find it.

Most women find their way into Second Bite through one of three doors:

I
II
III
Reclaim Sacred Play
Slow Down and Savor
Build from Soul
When you see other women painting and rehabbing old furniture, something in you lights up. But every hobby feels too big to start when some days just brushing your teeth is a heroic feat. Plus, how would it even help anyone? Or maybe you try to sit down with your art, but before you’re 15 minutes in, someone needs something from you. (And honestly, it’s a relief.)
You know you can’t keep working this hard, but it feels like if you slow down for five minutes, everything will fall apart. You’ve done a lot of therapy and self-help to change your habits of overworking and overgiving, but you’re realizing you can’t think your way out of what’s not working anymore.
You want to transform your business so it’s based on your core gifts, but deep down you’re afraid if you show up authentically it won’t be as profitable. Lately it feels like you’re performing a character just to keep it going.
When play becomes non-negotiable, you’ll:
When rest becomes your mother tongue, you’ll:
When your soul’s voice is louder than other people’s blueprints, you’ll:
… have energy left over for your book, and write without fighting yourself through every sentence.
… sit out on the porch and slowly sip your coffee instead of feeling compelled to shoot off three emails before anyone else has woken up.
… finally feel like you’re doing the work you were meant to do, without it taking everything out of you.
… make your next series of paintings with your inner critic out of the room, and discover what you have to say when you’re not trying to make it “good.”
… see the movie nobody else in your family wants to see, because you finally get a say in how you spend your free time.
… shape a business that reflects your weird, wild interests and attracts the people you really want to work with, without giving up at the first sign it might not work.

WHY HAVING A CIRCLE MATTERS

It is very difficult to design your days around what makes you feel alive when the world tells women, “You have to earn it first,” and then keeps moving the goalpost.

It’s just as hard to slow down and center your soul when everyone around you seems perfectly content to keep moving at warp speed, and the culture instills a fear of falling behind.

And while everyone is shouting at you to “just start, stop waiting to be ready, stop waiting for clarity,” there’s a reason that feels wrong. The wisdom in you knows not to jump in from the same orientation, the same habits, the same beliefs that got you where you are today.

THE CORE MONTHLY RITUALS

  • SECOND BITE STUDIO
    Dedicated time and space to follow the breadcrumbs of what’s next

    Once a month, we gather to see what unfolds when we create from rest. We begin lying down in yoga nidra, because that’s where the good ideas have been hiding. Then you get protected time for the thing you never seem to have energy for: the memoir, the bookbinding, the project that keeps getting bumped for everyone else’s emergencies.

  • RIPENING CIRCLES
    An intimate council to guard your flame

    Meet monthly with 3–5 women. When it’s your turn in the spotlight, bring what’s emerging: a Substack essay, a dream, a sales page. I’ll help you hear what your soul already knows, and you choose the feedback you want, including none. You’ll leave seen, cherished, and holding next steps that fit your real life.

  • THE PLEASURE GARDEN
    Soul work for the pure pleasure of it

    Join from the hammock, the bed, or the porch. I’ll pull a card or read a poem, offer a prompt, and you follow what feels good: journal, draw, stretch by candlelight, or do nothing at all.

  • PLUS… SIPS OF SOUL
    Teachings that rise from our circle

    A short monthly practice drawn from what’s moving through our community, like befriending your risky idea or resting before you’re “done.” On demand so you can listen on a walk, in the bath, or while you weed the garden.

    This program isn’t about piling more onto your plate. It’s about layering in the right resources (at a thoughtful cadence) that will help you delegate, prioritize, and dream.

You don’t need any more self-improvement. You need deeper dialogue with your soul…

And the guidance and solidarity to stand by your own creative rhythms, working standards, and priorities of play and pleasure. 

In our six months together, we will practice rest, creativity, and self-inquiry. You will unwind the inner patriarch, the old beliefs and habits that keep you in line: rushing, proving, conforming, performing, second-guessing, and overextending. 

Along the way, I coach you to develop your soul’s discernment and become your own source of truth. You will make plans that match your capacity and accomplish your goals at the speed of soul. And this wise council of women will shield the fragile flame of your intuitive whisper from a world that would too soon snuff it out. 

Picture this…

You’re at the new coffee shop in your neighborhood marking up chapter three of your book.

Your teenager walks into the kitchen on a weekday morning, sees you painting, and makes their own toast.

You read your About page out loud to your partner, and halfway through, you realize it really sounds like you.

You open your laptop to find three new registrations for the workshop that lived in your Notes app for four years.

The committee chair asks if you’ll “just take the lead this one time.” You say, “I’m going to pass,” and then change the subject.

You finally sunset the offer that made money but bores you to tears.

Your Substack goes out every third Sunday, which is not the “consistency” the marketing bros preach, and your readers write back anyway.

This is for you if:

  • You have a creative project, business idea, or “someday” dream that keeps getting bumped, and you’re ready to give it sustained attention.

  • You need some encouragement to be a C- student when it comes to art and creative risks.

  • You’re openhearted toward the sacred and the spiritual, even if you don’t have a name for what you believe.

  • You appreciate diverse perspectives and want to grow alongside women whose paths look different from yours.

This is not for you if:

  • You want someone to tell you what to do. Here, we’ll reflect your own wisdom back to you.

  • You’re in the middle of a crisis or deep healing that calls for one-on-one therapeutic support right now.

  • You hold a fixed doctrine that makes it hard to welcome other ways of being.

  • You want tough love and accountability more than a community that witnesses you and holds you capable.

Because your second bite of life is just beginning.
