Ep 38, Season 1: Staying Grounded, Filling Your Tank and the Long Road of Healing

     Welcome to Episode 38 of Season 1 of That Greenwich Life! This week, I’m taking a moment to reflect on staying grounded, finding balance, and letting go of the hustle—especially when life (or vacation) feels like a whirlwind.
     This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re always going, planning, doing—but struggling to simply be.
     After an epic February break with my family—first at Beaches Turks & Caicos, then at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida—I realized just how much our nervous systems dictate how we move through life. Whether it’s rushing from one resort activity to the next, trying to make the most of every moment, or simply forgetting to pause and breathe, this trip reminded me of the power of presence over planning.
     I also take a deep dive into a difficult chapter of my life—navigating IVF, loss, and the deep emotional toll of it all. Returning to Universal Studios years later, under completely different circumstances, was a powerful full-circle moment that reminded me how much healing can happen over time.

In This Episode:
•        How an over-scheduled vacation made me realize I was still operating in hustle mode.
•        The difference between being present and just checking things off a to-do list.
•        The full-circle moment of returning to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter after one of the hardest seasons of my life.
•        Navigating IVF, loss, and the unexpected ways healing happens over time.
•        Why true grounding comes from within—not from the perfect plan, place, or schedule.
