I Took a Break from Blogging: Here’s What’s Next
Hey y’all! 💖
I know it’s been a minute. And if you’ve visited DGSpeaks.com lately, you might’ve noticed things have been real quiet around here. I haven’t been blogging all year.
So let me catch you up.
Life Got Loud, So I Went Quiet
Back in January, I hit pause. Not because I didn’t have stories to tell (you know I always do), but because sometimes, the storyteller needs space to just be.
I was navigating big transitions, personal growth, travel, business pivots, and some soul-level rest. The kind of rest that doesn’t always look pretty on Instagram but is oh-so-necessary.
In that time, I shifted my energy inward. I focused on my wellness, realigned my priorities, and started laying the groundwork for the next chapter of DG Speaks.
What I’ve Been Up To (The Short Version)
- Living and teaching abroad (Uzbekistan, I see you 👀)
- Planning a 5-week Camino de Santiago pilgrimage
- Building new digital products (hello soft life travel guides!)
- Deepening my coaching and consulting work
- Dreaming up new ways to serve YOU, women who live life out loud.
What’s Coming Next on DG Speaks
I’m back, but not the same. I’m returning with softer energy, clearer vision, and content that feels rooted, not rushed.
Here’s what you can expect:
- New blog posts every 2 weeks (travel, wellness, digital nomad tips, soft life)
- Behind-the-scenes of my Camino journey starting this fall
- Fresh downloads, checklists, and guides to make your lifestyle smoother
- Stories for women like us, navigating freedom, femininity, and fierce joy

Let’s Begin Again, Together
Sometimes you’ve gotta go quiet to come back louder, in alignment, in purpose, in joy.

With love,
Mercedes (aka DG)
Living out loud. Always.
