The question that stopped my emotions It wasn't "what should I DO about this?" Reader, This weekend I was in the feels, going through Kleenex like I had stock in it. It was the same old pattern: my son upset my daughter. They started fighting. I got overwhelmed. The tears started rolling. It's been a pattern for years. I always assumed I was releasing old emotions… but I never actually felt better afterward. Now that I only see them part time, I don't want to be the mom that cries whenever...

Where can you get wild? Break your mold this week! Reader, I'm in a group right now with the coach I did my Spiritual Coaching certification through. We started the summer with one of my favorite pieces of homework: Where can you get wild in your life? She asked us to break out mold. To do something different. Why this matters is because our lives become routine. We wake up, get dressed the same way, think the same thoughts, and make the same choices. But if nothing changes...nothing changes....

Stop blindly Trusting the Process Yesterday, I woke up to a sight that felt so serendipitous, I still don't have words to describe it. To my left - my new guy, still sleeping. Right above him - a canvas on the wall that said, "Trust the Process." If you read my email from earlier this week, you'll know it's been a year since I decided to get divorced. That decision turned out to be a Master Class in trusting the process! I chose to move on based not on circumstances, but on a feeling… a...

The latest from the pod I was on a hot girl walk this week when a powerful realization dropped in: I'm living my dream life. Like - right now. This isn't the first time I've been here. That was over a decade ago. I had accomplished my "by 30" list, expecting that doing everything on the list (getting my Master's Degree, the job / baby / husband / house) would make me happy. Except - it didn't. I was burned out and miserable. Now, my life looks completely different. I don't even have the...

The latest from the pod I almost didn't do a podcast this week. Last week was a Full Moon, and let me tell you... the moon was mooning! 🌕 I was incredibly sensitive and emotional most of the week. I ended up doing a lot less work, and a lot more moving my body and taking care of me. While I don't believe in staying stuck in the emotion forever, I also believe it's supportive to give yourself time and space to feel whatever might be coming up for you. Once you've purged the crusty emotion from...

The latest from the pod I've been noticing some... funkiness lately. Low energy, losing motivation, not quite sure where you want to go next. I get it. I've been there more times than I can count these past few years. The way I see it is that funky feeling is not the cause, but a signal. It's telling you there's something in your life that isn't quite aligned for you. I know I'm an extreme example, having left my job and my marriage. Luckily, it doesn't have to be a drastic thing! It could be...

The latest from the pod In my latest conversational-style episode, I sit down with my friend Catherine Jelinek to discuss something I heard her say: "we need to quit man hating." As you can imagine (considering we recorded a podcast episode about it), I latched on to that statement. I've been on a journey with masculine / feminine energy these past few years. (Side note: when I say that, it doesn't necessarily mean men / women. All humans carry both energies; we just experience them...

The latest from the pod Even though I'm spiritual... I'm a bit of an astrology skeptic. It's come from years of hearing things like "this month, your life changes forever!" or "things are about to blow up for you," only to find myself in the exact same situation a year later. What did move the needle for me? It wasn't sitting around with my journal, asking the New Moon to change my life. It was shifting my inner world, and taking inspired action from that embodied place. So when my astrologer...

The latest from the pod I've been toying around with this thought lately - what if I had really cool conversations with really cool people and... shared them on the podcast? The conversations I have with people light me up. They go way beyond "how's the weather?" I love digging deep into life, how reality works, what they're learning and moving through, and a host of other topics. Since my business is one big experiment right now, I decided to go for it. I'm grateful for those that have...
