Last summer, I spent the second half of the season wandering through the South of France and the coast of Spain—and I came back changed. The Mediterranean lifestyle softened me, grounded me, and helped me step into the most radiant version of myself—mentally, emotionally, and yes… physically. It wasn’t about restriction or hustle. It was about pleasure. Beauty. Slowing down. Eating better. Living better. DOWNLOAD: Mediterranean Goddess Glow Up Guide Here This summer? I’m staying home.
