You’re INVITED—Join Me as a Founding Member

by | Sep 5, 2026 | Personal Growth, Wellness

I invite you to join me as a Founding Member of Build Your Life Reading Circle: Personal Growth, Meaningful Conversation, and Community—a welcoming space for people drawn to expansion and living more consciously. Together, we'll explore a deeper quality of life through books that illuminate personal growth, holistic health, mindfulness, philosophy, and spirituality, all dimensions of building a meaningful life. Because sometimes a book changes us and even more so when we explore it together.

Our first gathering will take place on Tuesday, September 29th at Cocktails Boutique NYC, 1011 Lexington Avenue. We'll delve into The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery—a short yet timeless fable that perfectly sets the tone for this launch. Together, we'll consider the book's enduring themes and how they speak to our fast-paced, technology- and consumer-driven world, inviting us to peel away the shiny distractions of modern life and reconnect with what truly matters.

Reading the book in advance is encouraged, but not required. Whether you've read every page, are revisiting it, or simply feel called to join, you're welcome. Just bring an open mind, a curious spirit, and a willingness to connect.

Attendance is free. We'll meet approximately every eight weeks.
Registration is required. Reply to this email OR register through Eventbrite.

I see this as something much more than a "book club". My hope is that it will grow into a community of New Yorkers who are seeking to thrive by living more authentically and intentionally—one person, one conversation, one connection, and one new perspective at a time.

Let's see what we can build. 😉

Who are you, really?

Who are you, really?

Join me on Tuesday, September 22nd for an immersive experience of reconnection and reflection as the sun begins to set over the lawn of Acquila's Nest Vineyards in Sandy Hook, CT.

Every day, the world asks us to show up in a role—who we should be, what we should accomplish, how we should appear. But beneath all of that is the quieter question.

Who are you, really?

This evening is an invitation to step away from the noise, become still, and tune inward.

I'll begin by exploring authenticity—the foundation of a meaningful and fulfilling life—and then lead you through a guided meditation designed to quiet the mind, reconnect you with your inner wisdom, and create space for greater clarity about who you are beyond the distractions and demands of modern life.

From there, I'll share the story of how this question became personal for me: the pivotal decision to leave a successful corporate career, the journey that followed, and what ultimately led me to publish my newly released book, Building a Life: A Journey into Authenticity and Holistic Transformation.

We'll conclude with more wine, conversation, questions, and a book signing—an opportunity to connect and see your life through a different lens.

Guests are encouraged to bring something comfortable to sit on. If you'd like to begin exploring the book before that evening, you can purchase Building a Life on Amazon and bring it with you to have it signed. Copies will also be available for purchase at the event.

I hope you will join me for this evening of wine, wellbeing, and time to simply be.

Looking forward to raising a glass with you. 😉

My book and I would like to thank you for your support these past three months. I have been genuinely touched by all of the feedback and thoughtful messages I've received.

The good news: Building a Life quickly sold out of its first tranche of Amazon inventory and needed to be restocked. The frustrating news: Amazon can take a while to restock books by new authors (although orders can continue to be placed during this process). The good news again: It has been restocked although inventory is already running low.

Reviews are the most powerful way to help readers discover a book on Amazon. Therefore, every review matters.

For those of you who have purchased Building a Life and posted a review, thank you. Your support helps my book reach future readers.

If you've purchased the book but haven't yet posted a review, I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to do so (it's an easy process). Your review can help others find Building a Life.

And if you haven't yet purchased a copy, there is still time to get it in time for summer reading. You can purchase it here:

My wish is that after reading Building a Life, at least one vignette stays with you—and causes you to see something in your own life from a different perspective.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

An Idea to Treat Modern Life

An Idea to Treat Modern Life

by | Jul 13, 2026 | Holistic Health, Well-being, Wellness

For centuries, people gathered in circles.

Around fires, in homes, temples, forests, and village gathering places, people came together.

They gathered to share stories, mark rites of passage, celebrate, grieve, pray, listen, teach, and exchange ideas.

In these spaces, no one was rushed. They were witnessed. They spoke candidly. They left feeling part of something larger than themselves.

While you can still find traces of this tradition in cultures that naturally make more room for lingering conversations, we here in the NYC-Metropolitan Area have very much lost this ancient way of gathering.

Perhaps that's why so many people I speak with are longing for deeper connection, meaningful conversation, and places where they can both listen and be heard without judgment. We seem to have forgotten how to gather.

Perhaps what we're longing for isn't something new at all. Perhaps it's something we've forgotten.

I have an idea for us.

Stay tuned...
