You have intuition. Life may have beaten you out of using it, and it still lives there in your gut. We are born with wisdom in our DNA. It’s generations of wisdom built into our cells with the power of our spirit part of us. You know, even when you don’t know. At the center Read More

Being Curious of the Unknown
The unknown is a scary thing. I talk a lot about this in Inviting Shift under Something Ain’t Right. There’s a lot of fear for those of us who like to know exactly what point B is, what it looks like, what it will feel like and so much more we imagine with a vision. Read More
Courage & The Warrior
Courage. It’s the choice we make when we know it’s right, even though it may be the hard. Sometimes when women come to me for coaching, they think I’m going to be able to see them through the feelings to the point where it will feel easy. My program is simple steps, and that doesn’t Read More
Visualizing Intention
We judge ourselves often. In fact, we’ll even judge ourselves for things we aren’t responsible for. We take responsibility even when we feel like we did everything right. Why? Because we take responsibile for the outcome, even though the only thing we can control is our intention. Today, I want you to shift your perspective Read More
Visualization & Ritual for more Self-Compassion
Self-Compassion is one of the keys to self-love. We don’t get to self-love by being hard on ourselves and yet almost every woman I know will tell you they are often hard on themselves. They feel without shaming themselves, they may never get anything done. I’m here to tell you that shaming yourself only makes Read More
Ask Your Wounded Child What She Needs
Our Inner Child often shows up when she’s wounded. Let me explain. When we feel powerless, she shows up – probably by default. We know the Wounded Child energy: We sob. We feel out of control. We have a hard time thinking clearly. And the Suffering Spiral of I’m-not enough thoughts. Of course we make Read More
What happens when you see yourself through eyes that love you…
Have you ever asked someone you love, or one of your co-workers or clients how they see you and what you do in the world? It can feel uncomfortable to ask about yourself, but I think it’s almost always worth it if you are open and curious about their perspective. It’s even an act of Read More
Self-love: A Daily Ritual
It’s February! Look even if you don’t go for the Valentine’s stuff or are feeling like without a relationship you just want to ignore the giant hearts, it’s still a great month to practice love – just like all the others. And what’s the hardest love for most of us (even harder than finding our Read More
How to Soften into the Heart-Center
One of the hardest things for me being a working mom was traveling home and doing my best to get into a heart-centered, loving space without bringing the work-warrior (and worrier) with me. I admittedly failed often (and still sometimes do since my transition is a matter of steps now). Some of us have a Read More
Celebrating the Crone with a Croning Ceremony
The Crone Archetype is often one that women struggle to connect as easily to as the lovely Maiden or the nurturing Mother. Not a lot of us want to claim the ‘ugly old hag’, however, I want to share with you the original beauty of this word. Crone came from ‘crown’. It is a crowning. Read More
