ABOUT ME

AboutFehuset2024-06-26T11:25:03+00:00

As most women,

I wear many hats. I’m a wife, mom to (2) teens, dog + puppy wrangler, as well as a daughter, sister, creative, and lifelong nature-seeker…

I’m also a doer, exploring people, projects, and places that light me up. But trust me, it’s taken time, therapy and loads of soul searching to resist racing towards the finish line (p.s. there are no finish lines), but rather slowing down + leading with intention in all areas of my life.

For me, it’s about staying curious and surrounding myself with people + experiences that trigger ideas, spark conversation, reframe mindset and ultimately shape growth.

It’s about continuing to imagine ‘what if’… and inspiring others to do the same.

THE THINGS... I call them waves (BIG waves): a par

THE THINGS... I call them waves (BIG waves): a parent death, a child leaving for college, a relationship rift, hormonal havoc. For some, the waves hit with just enough time to come up for air before the next one. For others it can feel like a tsunami with everything happening at the same time. That’s what makes MIDLIFE different. YET as @michelle_jacobs_womaness says, ‘NOBODY prepares you!’ That’s WHY we curated this 🎧 LIMITED SERIES PODCAST. It gives listeners a midlife playbook for what’s ahead, thoughts and perspective as well as advice + insight from an incredible group of thoughtleaders, experts and advocates. YAY, and it’s now totally binge-able, so forward it to your people, ladies! YOU GOT THIS!

TRUTH often lies in what we feel, but don’t alwa

TRUTH often lies in what we feel, but don’t always share opening with others. Sharing vulnerabilities, inner truths, saying them out loud can feel awkward, but it also sets you free - especially as we age. That’s why it felt good to ask the question, “why don’t women support other women?” in our final episode on commuinty + trust. Of course many women DO support women, but there are MANY that don’t, and it felt special to talk about this openly about this with @michelle_jacobs_womaness, @thesallym and @mywomaness.

In this crazy paced and quick moving world, we MUS

In this crazy paced and quick moving world, we MUST remind ourselves that ‘Community + Trust’ are two of the most meaningful things we can attain in our lifetime. We make choices everyday to prioritize this or that. I call it going left or going right. But if we want to foster community and gain people’s trust we have to steer the ship in that direction. It doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of time spent with people you care about, experiences shared, listening. As @kellycorrigan says, ‘tell me more, what else, go on.’ These are the questions that breed unity and closeness. As we settle into Friday and look forward to the holidays week ahead, let’s continue to manifest community + trust. 🙏@thesallym and @myWomaness for your friendship, support + trust in this project and so many more honest conversations ahead! Let’s #TalkTruth.

STRENGTH isn’t pretending to be something you’re not. It’s having the COURAGE to live from the truth of who you are.
