MEET CHA CHA

In May 2023, a few days before my 49th birthday, and as a recent empty nester, I dramatically shook up my world, selling everything and moving to Bali (baby pics & memorabilia went into storage)! I didn’t have a plan for what I refer to as my “2nd Act,” but knew that after 16 years of being a single mom, 13 years of custody battles (long story!) and nearly 20 years as a Realtor, I needed a break.

The original plan was to move to Bali and really focus on making shoes (one of my favorite hobbies), but my 3D printer literally blew up the first time I plugged it in. The answer to the question you may be asking yourself is “Yep, I brought my 3D printer and 2 sewing machines with me to Bali – I’m funny that way!”

Shaking up my life so dramatically I unknowingly created a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the past 30 years, and contemplate what I want my next day, week, month… to look like. I started meditating again, drastically curbed drinking alcohol, started fasting, began eating mostly vegan and overall was finally able to kick my toxic sugar habit. The beautiful thing was, it happened organically, without the usual “pain & suffering” we often feel when making dramatic life changes. I dropped 30+ pounds effortlessly, made new friends from around the world, discovered new activities like ecstatic dance and cacao ceremonies, renewed my love of surfing… and most importantly for me, I found a new zest for living an authentic and meaningful life that I am excited to share with you, and sincerely hope inspires you to live YOUR best life!!
