Life, death, cancer, and everything in between.
True wellness is found at the intersection of unlearning, authenticity, bio-individuality, reconnecting to Nature, exploring and accepting death, mindfulness, and the ability to regulate your own nervous system.
Start from where you are.
Cancer has shown me that wellness encompasses everything: the people, places, things, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs in our lives. Living an intentional life is one where all of those elements align with what truly matters to you. I call this process of decluttering, Intentionalism.
Learning to be well in a society that almost insists on unwellness is its own kind of revolution. It takes time, courage, and the willingness to be with what is. Everything is an unfolding, and as mindfulness reminds us, we are only ever right here, right now, exactly where we need to be.

Free subscribers receive my weekly Intentional Inbox mindfulness, intentional living, and health tips-of-the-week, and my first-of-the-month longform. Paid subscribers get that plus Sunday longform pieces and more exciting goodies to come (ahem meditations and special content!).
If It’s the Last Thing I Do is a kaleidoscope of offerings.
A place to explore and uncover what it’s like to be the most authentic you. A space to inspire you to live a full and meaningful life. A resource for navigating end-of-life considerations, of the existential and the paperwork variety.
Quite literally, Julia de’Caneva’s legacy, the last thing she might do.
