The Embodied Edge Bring a friend for half price! When I was working on bringing in more abundance to my life, my coach challenged me with this: To try on clothes I wouldn't normally try on but felt drawn to. 👗 Including ones that were beyond my typical price range. So I did! I have "pressure to buy" when I go into a small boutique store, so I experimented in a larger department store. I grabbed clothes with colors and textures I was drawn to, but wouldn't normally choose. One shirt was an...

The Embodied Edge I was getting dressed the other day. I grabbed the pair on top - the one with the big hole on the side. They were okay enough, so I kept them in rotation. But as I pulled them on (and my thumb went through the hole), I thought… why am I keeping these? I have plenty of others. I can afford new underwear. Why am I settling for holey underwear? I think a lot about how the clues in our life are doorways into our unconscious. In this case, me keeping holey underwear is a clue...

The Embodied Edge 1 month away from the Abundant Self Mixer! I am a country music OG. 🤠 I'm talking Reba McEntire on cassette tape, seeing Garth Brooks when he was playing small stadiums, country-before-it-was-cool kind of OG. These past few years, though, something's shifted. 📱 My listening time has largely transitioned from music to podcasts. 🎵 And something within me decided it's not spiritual to listen to country. I should be listening to that high vibe stuff. Yet every now and then, I...

The Embodied Edge Creativity isn't about the outcome. It's about the act of expressing something through your body. As kids, we were naturally creative. Somewhere along the way, we probably heard something like "you can't make money doing that. Find something more stable." And we shut that part of us down in favor of books, learning, and achieving. As adults, many of us have creative pulls but are bringing a high-achiever perspective to it: only doing things we know we can do perfectly and...

The Embodied Edge I held my second Future Self Mixer a couple days ago. One theme that stood out to me was the difference between how we see ourselves and how we're perceived by others. The ladies that were there were bosses - movers and shakers in the community. Yet many shared how they didn't feel confident in themselves, or still struggled with imposter syndrome - even when it didn't come across to those they met. As their greatness was reflected back to them by the other women, they...

The Embodied Edge The Future Self Mixer is this week! Sometimes, being embodied doesn't mean doing more or newer things. It can mean more fully utilizing what we already have! ✉️ This week, I want you to tune into your senses more fully. Our senses are how we experience the world around us. Yet most of us only half tune in while our focus stays in our brain, spinning on whatever it's worried about. I like this exercise from Eckhart Tolle: use your senses without needing to comment on or label...

The Embodied Edge As a kid, I loved dancing. Yet somewhere along the path to adulthood I stopped doing it so much. Now that I'm being more intentional with how I feel, I'm bringing it back as a way to boost my energy and my mood. Moving your body helps move stagnant energy and make space for more of the feel good stuff to come in. ✉️ If you've hesitated dancing, this week I want you to try it. Just for a song. Just to see how it feels! If you're nervous, wait until you're alone in the house....

The Embodied Edge Happy Mother's Day to you mamas, and mamas-in-spirit! I used to think buying cut flowers was a waste of money. While I don't splurge all the time, I've bought them a couple times since January to recreate the bright colors that made me happy in Cuba. Seeing the colors on the table every time I walked by add a pep to my step! ✉️ If you don't receive flowers this week, my invitation to you is to buy yourself a bouquet. Make this as fun or simple as you want. Our grocery stores...
