Empowering Women & Building Community

I spent some time this past weekend reading Sandwich by Catherine Newman in my backyard. It’s such a thoughtful, relatable look at caregiving and family life in midlife.

Many women I talk to are realizing how important it is to start planning for aging and caregiving, especially after seeing family experiences firsthand.

It can feel heavy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I have a handful of trusted professionals I personally know who can help guide families through these decisions. I’m happy to make a warm introduction if this feels relevant to you.

Send me a message if you’d like an introduction or just want to chat. I’d love to help.

Bring a New Friend $120 for the two of you!

Are you feeling a shift in life and quietly wondering what comes next?

Many women reach a season where they realize they have spent years taking care of everyone else. Showing up. Holding it all together. Being what others needed.

And somewhere along the way, exhaustion sets in. Priorities begin to shift. You may know you no longer want to be everything for everyone, but you are not quite sure what comes next or how to move forward differently.

If that resonates, we invite you to join us for The Now What Workshop.

This is a focused, in person, 4-hour experience designed to give you breathing room from daily demands and a supportive space to pause, reconnect with yourself, and explore your next season alongside other women who understand.

Facilitated by Michelle Gertz and Ozzie Osborne, the day unfolds through guided reflection, meaningful conversation, restorative practices, mission statement creation, vision board design, and an embodiment exercise to help you step into what you are ready to claim for this season of life.

During this experience, you will:
• Explore the season of life you are currently in and what you are ready to let go of
• Gain tangible tools to help you move forward with intention
• Create a personalized Next Season Mission Statement
• Design a vision board that reflects what you want to call into this season of your life
• Connect with like-minded women and experience the reminder that you are not alone

This is not about having everything figured out. It is about giving yourself permission to pause, take a breath, and begin listening to what you want now.

Facilitated by:
Michelle Gertz, founder of Next Chapter Coaching, supports individuals navigating life transitions with clarity and practical insight.

Ozzie Osborne, founder of Ozzie Osborne Coaching, creates grounded spaces for connection, reflection, and intentional growth through relational and somatic practices.

Date: Sunday, March 15
Time: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Location: San Fernando Valley
Lunch Included

Investment:
$75 early registration through March 10
$90 standard registration
Bring a New Friend $120 for the two of you!

With warmth,
Your Bees at The Hive 🐝

What a joy it was to gather for our Hive Galentine’s Happy Hour!

The laughter, heartfelt conversations, and new connections reminded us why this community matters so much.

There is something powerful about women coming together to share stories, encourage one another, and create space to simply be. Watching new friendships form and familiar faces reconnect was truly special.

We cherish opportunities to gather, whether through happy hours, workshops, wellness days, or retreats.

These experiences allow us to meet like-minded women, grow together, and feel supported in every season of life.

Thank you for showing up, sharing your energy, and continuing to build this beautiful Hive with us.

After five years away, I’m excited (and honestly a little emotional) to share that I’m returning to the O&P field as a Business Development Manager.

This industry was where I first experienced what it means to work with true purpose by supporting clinicians, collaborating with care teams, and ultimately impacting the lives of people regaining mobility, confidence, and independence.

The time away gave me perspective, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for relationship-driven work. Coming back now feels less like “returning to a job” and more like coming home to purpose.

Grateful for the people who encouraged this next chapter and for the opportunity to contribute again in a space that genuinely changes lives. I’m excited for what’s ahead and for the conversations, collaborations, and connections to come.

If you’re in Orthotics & Prosthetics, Healthcare, or Rehab, hello again 👋 I’d love to reconnect.

Thank you to Ottobock and my amazing team for the opportunity!
