The Vibrant Sage

Hello Reader, As the holidays approach, I find myself feeling especially grateful for this community, for your presence here, your curiosity, and your willingness to pause and reflect in a world that so often asks us to rush. This season tends to stir up a mix of emotions. Joy and gratitude, yes — but also nostalgia, reflection, and a quiet awareness of how much has changed over the years. I recently shared a longer reflection on this very idea over on my Substack, where I’ve been writing...

Hello Reader, As we step into these last weeks of 2025 it’s natural to pause, breathe, and look back on how far we’ve come. My newest blog is : “Reflect As You Move Forward.” It’s inspired by my recent retreat—and by the truth that growth doesn’t happen in the extremes. It unfolds in the quiet moments… the small choices… the ways we return to ourselves again and again. In this short blog, you’ll explore:• why reflection matters at this time of year• how slowing down reconnects you with...

Hello Reader, As this year winds down, my heart is full — full of gratitude, full of reflection, and full of awe for the way life unfolds when we say yes to our dreams. One of the greatest gifts of 2025 was finally bringing to life something I had been imagining for six years: my very first Vibrant Sage Retreat in Costa Rica. Seven beautiful souls joined Rob (my husband) and me at Vida Asana for a week of breath, movement, rest, intention setting, laughter, nature, and connection. They were...

Hello Reader, Flexibility… what comes to mind first? Your hamstrings?Your joints?Your ability to twist, bend, move? The body changes — that is inevitable.But the flexibility that shapes our experience of life is not in the muscles. It is the flexibility of the mind. This reflection comes from The Quiet Mile — the moments when I unplug, soften, and listen within. Recently, during a quiet walk (no phone, no scrolling, just presence), my mind wandered to the people leading our government. Not...

Hello Reader, I promise I’m not starting a political newsletter — but this week I did find myself imagining Congress in a meditation circle.🤭 It led to a meaningful reflection on inner wisdom and how we hold ourselves through uncertainty. There’s a gentle lesson in there — one I think you’ll appreciate. You can read it here:→ [Blog link] Thank you for being part of this community — practicing, softening, listening, and showing up for yourselves. It matters more than you know. With love,Nancy...

Hello Reader, It’s been a couple of weeks since I reached out. After returning from Mexico, I came home with a cough and some congestion that lingered longer than expected. I felt tired in that deep, whole-body way — the kind of tired that asks you to be still.So, I listened and rested. No pushing. No performing. Just being. And as I rested, something interesting happened. I rarely watch the news or follow weather updates closely. Yet I found myself checking on Hurricane Melissa as it moved...

Hello Reader, I hope you’ve been feeling the ripple effects of our 5-Day Release and Reconnect Series. Whether you joined every day or just dipped your toes in, I hope you discovered that tiny shifts create big energy. ✨ This week, I’m diving into a topic that touched a deep chord during my recent workshop — boundaries that stick. Not the rigid kind, but the kind that help us show up with love, clarity, and energy for what truly matters. In my latest blog, I share how one sentence from my...

Hello Reader, Welcome to Day 1 of 5 Days to Recharge & Reconnect — your gentle invitation to slow down, listen to your heart, and come home to yourself.
