I’m taking a sabbatical.

After 7+ years of running WholeCo Media nearly nonstop, I’m taking a break.

I’ll be on sabbatical for at least the rest of this year, giving myself a chance to experiment, play, rest, and explore who I am outside of the business I’ve poured so much of myself into for so long.

⬆️ That’s the short and sweet of it.

⬇️ Here’s the slightly longer version:

If you’ve seen the behind-the-scenes of my business in the last couple of years, you’ll know that I’ve been working on A LOT all in preparation for this year. I had a plan. I knew exactly what I was working toward. And truthfully, I was—and still am—really proud of everything I was doing and had done to get here.

But then we rang in 2026, and a series of—truly small, in the grand scheme of things—moments happened that, internally, were big enough to knock me off that carefully planned path.

I didn’t know exactly what I needed, but I knew it wasn’t what I had planned (at all). So I started making small adjustments. I pushed back the EXPAND cohort launch because I knew it wasn’t the right step at that moment. But I still didn’t know what was.

Until sometime in all of this a friend said the word “sabbatical” and something in me immediately settled. Like, oh, yes, that.

So that’s what I’m doing. I’m stepping away with the trust that everything I’ve built will still be here when I return (even if it needs a little warming back up), and that this space will give me the opportunity to rest, to play, and to engage with my creativity and myself in a way I’m not sure I’ve ever fully allowed myself to before (as an adult, anyway).

Now, the practical pieces:

• There will no longer be a cohort of EXPAND beginning in May of this year. When I have details about a future cohort, I’ll share them—especially with those of you I know were planning to join this one.
• I’ve already reached out to current clients, but to reaffirm: all existing projects will continue as planned, with no changes to our agreements.
• You’ll maintain access to any courses or materials you currently have throughout this time.
• I’ll check this inbox about once per month in case of any tech issues. It’ll just be me doing so, so I appreciate your patience with response times.
• I’m leaving the door open to occasionally share something here if I feel pulled to, but there won’t be a regular schedule. At a minimum, I’ll be back in touch when I return from this sabbatical with what’s next.

The work here at WholeCo has always been about building sustainably. It’s easy to think sustainability only ever means moving steadily forward, step by step, staying the course. And often, yes, it does mean exactly that.

But it also means sprinting sometimes, stopping other times, and doing all of it in a way that’s both aligned with…

1. Your actual capacity (not the capacity you might wish you had), and
2. Your long-term goals.

I’m looking at my capacity—and at the life and work I want long-term—and choosing to pause right now because it’s the next right step to support both.

I’m genuinely so excited about what this time will open up…creatively, personally, and in ways I know I can’t anticipate yet. And I look forward to reconnecting when the time is right with fresh energy, perspective, and (hopefully) a few stories to share.

Thank you for being here, truly. I’m always honored to be part of your journey, and honored that you’ve chosen to be part of mine.

Sending so much love 💛
