Iced Cacao Recipe, The Content Retreat, & Bridgerton Playlist
“Never Underestimate the Power of Being Seen.” ― Brené Brown
How are you? I have been moving and expanding in new ways after a deep season of being creatively blocked. I can’t wait to share about it in a solo podcast soon! I also have more recipes + more podcast interviews coming to your inbox.
For those of you that are entrepreneurs or small business owners, I am excited to announce my first Content Retreat: Expand Your Presence + Take Aligned Action, Saturday July 27th and Sunday 28th in Verona, NJ. You can also join us online in from the comfort of you own home. Align your content
What’s Nourishing My Creativity This Week
Sipping on iced cacao: This was my summer of 2023 drink at my sister’s house near Lake Ontario. I would wake up every morning and look forward to this nontraditional way of drinking ceremonial-grade cacao with her on her porch. This year, in am trying an iced version as a coffee replacement. Get the recipe
Listening to the Bridgerton playlist: Classical music gives me life! I wanted to be an orchestra conductor when I was a little girl and played clarinet from ages 8 to 16. I listened to this playlist while writing this newsletter and highly recommend giving it a listen while you work, play, or clean. Press play
Reading Spiritually, We: The Art of Relating and Connecting from the Heart: This book explores the sacred art of friendship through a Buddhist lens. Sah D’Simone doesn’t sugarcoat it when he writes about taking full responsibility in the relationships with ourselves and others. I am relistening to chapters on Audible to fully absorb his lessons. Focus on friendship
Watching Thelma the Unicorn: I watched this with my kids twice! I can deeply relate to the storyline of pretending to be something you aren’t just to have people like you. Thelma, a brown farm pony, pretends to be a unicorn so she can become a singing superstar and play at Sparkle Pooloza. Watch the trailer
Creator, Business & Wellness Tools
Spacies Desk Pad: I was so excited to see this launch and go live! My teacher and energy-healing mentor Veena Saraswati introduced me to
work years ago. She founded Holisticism, an online resource hub for creativity, wellness, and education. She designed this huge pad to help you throughout the creative process. I can’t wait to play with mine! Let me know if you order one, too. Create creative spaceLearn Food Photography & Styling: I have been diving deeper into photography. This course provides everything you need to start taking gorgeous food photos (especially if you’re not that camera-savvy)! Kimberly explains techniques and best practices in a way that’s easy to understand. It’s one of my favorite references. Get 15% off with my code car50
Get Your Project Done Sessions: I started working with a client on her summer rebrand strategy. We will be working on her website, Substack, and Instagram. Do you have an idea or project that you want to be ready for the fall? Let’s get to work
Moving with The Class Digital Studio: I am craving guided outside walks right now, even though it’s hot AF. I love using this app as a movement & mindfulness practice. My favorite classes are Yoga Nidra for Rest, Meditation for Creativity, and Class for a Positive Mindset Try for 30 Days

Love this so much! Is there a certain cacao you use from the Cacao Laboratory? I'm interested in leveling up my cacao experience. :)
Thanks for the lavender cacao latte recipe, it sounds so delicious! I also was recently wondering where I could find the Bridgerton playlist - thanks for sharing it!
