Still glowing from Monday’s Breakfast Club at The Royal Thank you to everyone who joined us — your openness, energy, and vulnerability made the morning unforgettable. And to @theroyalhotelpicton , thank you for continuing to welcome Breakfast Club with such genuine warmth and care, and for creating the perfect setting for intimate, transformative conversation. Your food and hospitality are world class. A huge thank you to our brilliant speakers, @drjulianahauser and @messinamovement , for leading us through such an honest, grounding, and empowering exploration of body awareness, pleasure, and self-connection. Your work is powerful and deeply needed; I feel so lucky to learn from you both. If you’re curious about this work or want to dive deeper, please connect with these 2 dynamic women: 
Lisa offers somatic healing—both virtual and in-person for individuals, couples, and small groups. Find her online and discover how working with her can help you reconnect to your body and return to innate wholeness. 
Juliana’s new book A New Position on Sex is out now—find it at all online retailers! It’s a fearless and compassionate guide to greater sexual confidence, pleasure, and authenticity. Juliana also sees clients privately—check her out!  This Breakfast Club reminded me exactly why I brought this series back: to create a space where women feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be bold and loud about the topics we so often stay quiet about; pleasure, hormones, perimenopause, menopause, holistic sexuality, and beyond. These conversations matter, and we deserve to have them out loud, together. I’m endlessly grateful for this community and the privilege of sharing these mornings with you. …And you know what? We’re just getting started💗. 🎥📸 @storiedmarketing #TheBreakfastClub #WomensWellness #Community #Connection #Pleasure #Embodiment #HormoneHealth #HolisticSexuality #EmpoweredWomen #TheRoyalHotel #PrinceEdwardCounty #SelfAwareness #womensupportingwomen #WomenSupportingWomen #somatics #sexandsomatics #

I’ve long believed that some of the most meaningful breakthroughs don’t happen in boardrooms—they happen outside, in nature, with our hands in the soil and our hearts open. Thank you to @edwincountyfarms and @paperkite.farm for allowing me to share just a glimpse of the beauty, intention, and purpose you cultivate so generously. Your work is changing not only how we grow food, but how we gather, connect, and lead. I hope this piece encourages more teams to step away from the usual and into something truly nourishing. Get your hands dirty. Get inspired. And reconnect with what really matters. 📷 Naz Melconiam & Nick Sorbara LINK TO ARTICLE IN BIO
