I’m so excited about my upcoming Your Evolving Purpose retreat, taking place September 18–21. I truly believe this retreat will be just as impactful—perhaps even more so—because it explores a question that so many of us are asking.

Recently, The New York Times posed the question: "You're about to retire. What are you going to do with the next 20 or 30 years?" Whether you're retired, approaching retirement, or simply sensing it's time for a new chapter, it's a powerful question worth exploring.

Research from my Harvard course reinforced something fascinating: having a strong sense of purpose isn't just fulfilling—it is associated with better physical, emotional, and mental well-being, and even greater longevity. Purpose isn't something we find once; it continues to evolve throughout our lives.

During this retreat, participants discover their own evolving purpose through interactive workshops, meaningful conversations, reflective practices, and the guiding framework of Ikigai—the Japanese concept that brings together what you love, what you're good at, what gives your life meaning, and how you can contribute to others. Together, we'll explore how purpose naturally changes as we age and how to step confidently into your next chapter with greater clarity, joy, and intention.

Come spend a beautiful fall weekend in Maine with a group of open-hearted, supportive women. Enjoy delicious meals, meaningful connection, time in nature, and leave with a renewed sense of direction and possibility.

I'd love to have you join us.

In good health, Kristi

RETIREMENT ISN’T WHAT’S NEXT. IT’S WHAT’S POSSIBLE.
Retirement doesn’t have to mean slowing down. It can mean starting fresh.
For women, it can be the beginning of a new chapter filled with movement, adventure, strength, and experiences you finally have time to chase.

Get stronger.
Try something new.
Travel somewhere you’ve never been.
Take the class.

Say yes to the adventure.
Build a version of life that feels entirely your own.
Because retirement isn’t the end of your story.

It’s your fresh start. Your new beginning. And maybe your most exciting chapter yet. ✨

In good health, Kristi

Discover Your Evolving Purpose This September
I’ve just wrapped up my July retreat on Energy, inspired by what I learned in my psychology course at the Harvard Extension School. It was incredibly rewarding to see how deeply the material resonated. Participants discovered where they were leaking energy, explored practical ways to restore it, and learned strategies to overcome the barriers that often prevent lasting change.

One participant shared:
"Thank you for a wonderful retreat. Once again, you have curated a wonderful group and meaningful material!"

Stay Tuned for details on my next retreat!

In good health, Kristi

✨ Your truth flows freely when you give yourself permission to be heard.

When the throat chakra is clear, your words become a reflection of your heart, your values, and your deepest self. You no longer shrink, silence, or hold back what is meant to be shared.

Your voice carries your story.
Your truth carries your power.
And your soul finds its song when you allow yourself to speak. 💙

In good health, Kristi

Your voice matters.
Your story matters.
The things you feel called to share matter.
Don’t silence the parts of yourself that are trying to speak. Sometimes the words that rise from the heart are exactly the ones someone else needed to hear. ✨

When it comes to BMI, the goal is never perfection or obsession with a number. The bigger picture matters most: strength, mobility, energy, sleep, lab values, and how you feel in your body. Think of BMI as one data point—while focusing on sustainable habits that support long-term vitality.

You’ve likely heard of BMI, or Body Mass Index. It’s a simple calculation based on height and weight that has long been used as an indicator of health risk. While it doesn’t tell the whole story, many doctors still consider it a useful screening tool when viewed alongside other health markers.

Research suggests that maintaining a BMI in the range of about 25 or below is often associated with lower risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, joint strain, and other chronic conditions. Of course, individual factors such as muscle mass, genetics, age, and body composition can influence what is healthiest for each person.

✨ Your Voice Is Meant to Be Heard ✨
"When the throat chakra is open, your words flow in harmony with your highest self."

Speaking your truth isn't about being the loudest person in the room. It's about expressing yourself with honesty, compassion, and confidence.
An open throat chakra encourages authentic communication. It allows you to set healthy boundaries, ask for what you need, share your ideas without fear, and listen with an open heart.

When your voice aligns with your values, you stop speaking from fear or people-pleasing and begin speaking from purpose.

Today, ask yourself:
💙 Am I saying what I truly mean?
💙 Am I honoring my own voice as much as I honor everyone else's?
Your words have power. Let them reflect the truth of who you are.

In good health, Kristi

The secret to healthy aging isn't found in a fad diet—it's found in everyday habits. 🌿

Research on the world's longest-living populations shows they share simple eating patterns: plenty of vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, healthy fats, and sensible portions.

These nourishing foods help reduce inflammation, support heart health, keep blood sugar steady, and promote a healthy gut—all of which play an important role in aging well.

But it's not just what they eat. It's how they eat. Meals are often enjoyed slowly, shared with loved ones, and treated as a time to connect rather than rush.

Instead of chasing the latest nutrition trend, focus on small, sustainable choices. Fill your plate with more foods that come from nature and fewer that come from packages. Consistency—not perfection—is what supports lifelong health. 💚

In good health, Kristi

Nutrition science continues to point in a clear direction: the diets linked with longevity are often simple, balanced, and rich in whole foods. Studies of long-lived populations consistently show patterns that include vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, healthy fats, and moderate portions.

These foods help lower inflammation, support heart health, stabilize blood sugar, and nourish the gut microbiome—all important factors in healthy aging. Just as important, many longevity-focused cultures treat meals as a time to slow down, connect, and enjoy.

Rather than chasing the latest diet trend, focus on what you can do consistently: eat more foods that come from nature and less from packages whenever possible.

In good health, Kristi
