The idea that the capacity to heal lies with others is perhaps the most dangerous misconception perpetuated by the mainstream medical industry. So why has every civilization had some kind of healer / shaman / medicine (wo)man? Because a healers job is to help remove any obstructions that are preventing your body from healing itself. That's it. Our bodies are infinitely wise, and capable of restoring balance. This is why sleep is THE BEST medicine. Laughter comes in at a close second. Even in...

Discipline and consistency have been two themes in my life I've struggled with quite a bit. Even on this journey developing my online business, I expect myself to stick to a schedule, and have a really hard time being kind to myself when I inevitably don't stick to it 100%. Posting on social media daily... Sending this newsletter every Wednesday (before midnight)... Showing up to my laptop to work everyday my son is at school... I have failed at doing all of those things 100% of the time....

When we've been walking down a different path for a long time, we sometimes forget how far we've come. The same way it sometimes feels like we've blinked and 10 years just flew by. Poof! Ever had that feeling? Today I was able to connect with a friend who saw one of my posts and was suspicious about how I could honestly claim to teach such a subjective experience: understanding and accessing one's intuition. Being constantly bombarded by influencers and snake oil salesmen promising to solve...

This afternoon, on the way to pick up Theo from school, a little slogan came to me: It's in the little decisions every day, that you confirm your Inner Way. Moments like these used to catch me off guard. Now they're coming more often, and more easily. And so is the ability to actually act on them. One of my favorite homework assignments for coaching clients is this: once we've identified what a "yes" and a "no" feels like in your body, practice it while you're driving. Little things like,...

Funny story… my free workshop last week, one person signed up. It was my friend. Being supportive. Bless her. Even funnier, I didn't know she signed up because I hadn't figured out how to turn on subscriber notifications yet! She literally texted me 3 minutes after it was supposed to start asking, “did I click the right link?” Oh the embarrassment!!! Ten years ago, this would have sent me into a spiral. I would have taken it personally, felt like a failure, questioned everything, and spent...

It's funny how easily we scroll past Reels or delete newsletters because there's so many other things on our to do list. Now that I'm on the other side, starting to post on Instagram, developing a brand new program, and keeping up with this newsletter, I vastly underestimated how long each of these tasks take. There's the creative aspect: coming up with the ideas, getting the ideas organized, working with people and seeing the results. All of that is the fun part that I very much enjoy. Then...

There's no such thing as waste in nature. There's no such thing as wasted time. Wasted energy. Wasted effort. Waste only happens when we no longer see the value or purpose in something - whether that's an actual thing, like food scraps, or our life's experiences. While composting helps us reconnect to physical waste and transform it into the foundation of most life on Earth, this new and improved AAA framework (I first heard about from Bashar) helps us reconnect to ourselves and move forward...

This week a friend shared a delicious treat with us. His mulberry tree is overflowing, and we were happy to help harvest and enjoy these sweet warm weather berries! The day before he had laid a tarp under it, shook the tree, and hundreds of mulberries fell. But when I arrived the following afternoon, we were all surprised to discover the pile had already begun to rot in less than 24 hours. We lifted the whole tarp and tossed it into his homemade compost bin, where several berries spilled out...

~~~~*~~~~ During the month when everyone was celebrating Women's Day and Women's History month, in my home, it's become a month we remember the dad's in our lives. Both my father and my husband's passed away in March. As a result, the past 30 days have been filled with love and appreciation for the men in my life, and for my own inner masculine. Everyone carries masculine and feminine energy within them, and for the past several years, I've been very intentionally working on mine. Learning...
