A brand new year, fresh and clean and largely blank usually inspires in me a rush of happiness, the excitement of all unbroken things. I am prone to wake on the first day of a brand new year with relief at whatever happened in December being done. I am used to feeling rather like Anne […]
In today’s podcast we talk about the lessons of 2015, our words and themes for 2016, and what’s coming in the New Year for Vivid!
“Glad tidings of comfort and joy”, says the holiday carol. A similar wish could declare “happy stories of cheerful ease!” But is this your usual holiday experience? At this time in our lives, when we are living, creating, and acting from a place of increased sovereignty and power, the depression which can sneak up on […]

Today’s podcast is a candid and casual conversation in which Annagrace and I talk about ourselves, how we met, the birth of Vivid, and what we are excited about in 2016!! Today is Annagrace’s birthday, so we thought it would be a great day to celebrate us and celebrate Vivid. Enjoy.
We’re going gently into the holidays this year, keeping our tender hearts open and stepping only as far into the fray as feels exciting and fun for us. At holiday time we feel the changes that the year has wrought, we feel them acutely. It’s wonderful to celebrate the year’s accomplishments, and enjoy the good […]
Vivid Conversations is back! Today Annagrace and Bronwyn talk about the holidays – how it really feels, what the holidays are like for those of us who survived childhood trauma, and what YOU can do to find the best and brightest in yourself this season.
Our first Vivid Playlist for this month (that’s right–there’s more than one!) is perfect for this first weekend of the last month of the year. It’s a little bit melancholy, a little bit hopeful, and truly, deeply tender. Enjoy it while you unpack the decorations or as a companion to your Sunday morning breakfast. It’s […]
I’ve had a feeling for weeks now that I needed to slow down in December. This is the opposite of what everything around me is calling (yelling, even.) At the beginning of last month, I distinctly heard a voice say “you’re going to need to slow down. You need to make space. Leave some room […]
The holidays are a time when are roles in our families are thrown into prominence. This can be a challenging time for us as women at midlife. We may be feeling a dissonance between the role that is expected of us and the woman we are becoming. Many grown children feel a comfort in the […]
Stepping into Vivid Menopause took me into the depths of processing and understanding my path up to this point and beyond. I descended and ascended back into myself through encouragement from the course work. I am empowered to create and share the wisdom to support other women. Every woman stepping into their wise women part of their life should embrace taking the course, to be held supported and encouraged to be the amazing person that they are. Bronwyn Simons and Annagrace Kaye were there for me every step of the way.
