PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer March 14, 2025 If you're having a hard time focusing on your health with the current news cycle, you are not alone. My clients are feeling it. My friends are feeling it. And I am certainly feeling it. I am countering stress by doubling down on my health and taking advantage of what I call one of my Stephanie sabbaticals. Could you engineer a Fill-In-Your-Name sabbatical? There are various definitions of sabbatical, the most traditional being an...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer February 2, 2025 It's 68F as I type this and as a native Minnesotan, that's just wild. And lovely, I am complaining ZERO about having my windows open and going for a dreamy jacket-less walk today. I've been an avid walker since college. UW-Madison is a giant campus, and it's beautiful too, so even as an 18-year old I enjoyed putting on my Sony Walkman and daydreaming while I walked to class. I noticed pretty quickly that the heavier my class load...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer January 16, 2025 “An autobiographical occasion is any moment when we are encouraged or obliged to reimagine who we are. It’s a narrative event, when our existing life story is altered or redirected in some way, forcing us to revisit our preexisting identity and modify it for our life going forward. And nearly everyone goes through such moments.” - Bruce Feiler Hello from Denver! I packed my bags (and whole home) and moved from Minneapolis to...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer August 4, 2024 You are what your friends eat. If you thought you left peer pressure behind once you graduated from high school, I'm sorry to toss this classic Minnesota phrase at you: Yeah, no. Mostly, we can't help it. Ope! Our brains are wired to mirror the eating habits of the people around us and of course, that makes evolutionary and cultural sense. Children learn to eat from mimicking the adults around them. (Although they have their own...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer July 29, 2024 Stress has been the topic of the month for July - with clients, friends, family, and in my own head. It shouldn't surprise me, this happens every summer, but my brain is still hard-wired from childhood to think that summer is carefree and relaxing. Even though it hasn't been either of those things since I was like 10 years old. Perhaps it's a Midwest thing, that because of our long, cold winters we put a lot of pressure on ourselves...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer July 2, 2024 Picture this: Diane Lane as Frances Mayes in Under the Tuscan Sun, after she's impulsively purchased a 300-year old villa and hired a sweet crew of misfits to repair and renovate her new old home. After a rocky start, the days slowly turn golden. Heartbroken Frances and the rundown villa gradually recover together. Walls are demolished, decades of dust is chased away, and sparkling windows are thrown open to sunshine, warm breezes,...
