Picture your team gathered around a table, shaking mocktails, comparing garnishes, and laughing together.

That could be part of your holiday celebration this year. 🍊

The Mindful Mixer® is booking fall and winter workshops for staff gatherings, employee appreciation events, and holiday parties.

We guide participants through creating delicious alcohol-free drinks while weaving in a conversation about the season of life they’re in and the ingredients of wellness that could support them right now.

A little creativity. A moment to reflect. Time to enjoy the people across the table.

The experience gives your team something fun to do together, with ideas they can carry into everyday life.

If you’re planning a gathering for your staff, we’d love to help you bring it to life.

Send us your preferred month, approximate group size, and event location, and we can talk through the options.

So…what exactly is The Mindful Mixer® now? 😂

Yes, we still create mindful mocktail experiences.

But The Mindful Mixer® is becoming something bigger: a wellness company helping people discover their mindful mix of wellness ingredients that fits their lives, capacity and current season.

That includes workshops, corporate wellness experiences, one-on-one coaching, personal training, nutrition, mindfulness and mental fitness.

The mocktail is still part of the story.

It’s simply no longer the whole story. ❤️

I promise I’m not having an identity crisis…okay, maybe a small one. 😂

Here's where I am with The Mindful Mixer®....

Apple started with computers. Peloton became known for the bike. Neither abandoned what made people notice them, they simply discovered what else the company could become.

For , mocktail workshops aren’t going anywhere. But I’ve realized the mocktail was never the entire point...it was an invitation to pause, connect and experience wellness differently.

The Mindful Mixer® is growing into something bigger: helping people discover their mindful mix of wellness ingredients that fits their capacity, their life and their current season.

Fellow founders: has your business evolved beyond what you originally imagined?

The mocktail is just the excuse to get everyone in the room. What people do once their hands are busy and their guard is down is the real story. Laughing, talking to someone they never usually talk to, and actually being present instead of just showing up.

I’ve watched it happen in HR departments, credit unions, senior living communities, nonprofits, corporate offices. Every group is different. This moment is not.

This morning I did something most people probably don't expect when they hear "corporate wellness workshop."

A small group of HR professionals, a table, a shaker, and about an hour where we were able to just BE.

We started by shaking out our hands and rolling our shoulders. Then we passed around rosemary and just smelled it for a second, and talked about our roots. As we built the drink together, each person ended up naming the actual season they're in right now: growth, maintenance, needing more calm..

That's what The Mindful Mixer® actually is. Figuring out the mixture of wellness each person actually needs, since nobody needs the same ingredient, in the same amount, in the same season of their life.

By the last sip, the room felt completely different than when we walked in. People were toasting each other, sharing what they're celebrating in this season of life, and fully present in a way that's so rare in a world that asks so much of us.

Nobody sat through a lecture on self care today. They just felt it.

Thank you to the Uncommon Concept Collective HR group for having me. It was a pleasure.

One month from today I’ll be in Athens, learning plant medicine from a clinical herbalist in the National Garden. 🇬🇷🌿

Myths. Medicine. Tea rituals passed down for generations.

This is what fuels The Mindful Mixer®…not just the science of wellness, but the wisdom behind it.

Can’t wait to bring this back to you all.

Wellness isn't one thing. It's a blend....or rather a "mix". Movement, nourishment, mindfulness, rest, and connection, all of it matters, and most workplace wellness programs only ever touch one piece of it.

That's the gap The Mindful Mixer® fills. Every workshop starts with a guided mocktail experience, but the mocktail is just the entry point. What happens in the room after that first sip, the nervous system education, the real conversation, the actual pause in a packed week, that's where the change happens.

If your team could use a wellness experience built for the fall, or you're already thinking about a holiday party that's more than a gift exchange, now's the time to get on the calendar before it fills up.

Send me a message, I'd love to talk it through.

I’m still in shock from this news…

Yesterday, The Mindful Mixer® became a federally registered trademark.

A trademark means this name, this brand, everything I’ve built, is legally protected. Which means I’m not just running a business anymore, I’m building something with real, permanent roots.

Here’s how we got here. Last year I told you every copy of The 12 Sips of Christmas would help fund the attorney and filing fees to make this happen. I needed to sell 175 copies to hit my goal.

This beautiful community sold it out. YOU hit the goal for me. 🥹

So…this is not a solo win. This is a community win.

Thank you, to every person who bought that book, came to a workshop, shared a post, sent an “I’m so proud of you.” You didn’t just support a small business. You funded a trademark. That’s WILDDD, and I will never stop being grateful for it.

This is the foundation. The Mindful Mixer® is just getting started.

The best is still ahead. Cheers!

Most people think The Mindful Mixer is just about mocktails.

It's actually about helping people slow down, regulate their nervous systems, build meaningful connections, and experience wellness in a way they can actually feel.

The mocktail is simply the vehicle. Wellness is the destination.
