This world doesn’t simply need better leadership, it’s needs leaders who are relentless about their own healing. And when I speak about leadership, I’m not simply talking about government and corporations. I’m talking about all of us, because leadership belongs to all of us.
Read More…That poem speaks to our human desire to know the depths of our own sovereignty.
It speaks to the most essential kind of freedom one can have, Internal FREEDOM.
And that kind of freedom is…everything. It's also the marker of true leadership.
By the greatest leaders with the boldest hearts, we are reminded of this again and again…
Read More…With yet more devastating news filling our screens and our hearts, it can be very easy to lose connection with joy.
I understand this and I know the feeling of hopelessness that can burrow into our bones, leaving us feeling frail and hallowed out.
Yet, what I also know, is that like so many others, I have survived what is brutal, because I would not let go of seeing what is also beautiful in this world….
…When the energy is seeping in too many directions (or the wrong direction) or is blocked in some way, we feel tired and burnt out (our internal 'light bulb' burns out when we no longer have sufficient energy flow). And friends, it's a very human experience for this to happen. In fact, it helps us learn what works for us and doesn't work for us...the key is to learn (and change those inefficient patterns/habits)…
Read MoreIn this 30-minute episode, we discuss what it means to be fully human. We also talk about an array of things related to the mind/body connection and the importance (along with tools) to recognize, process, accept, and neutralize negative self-talk and difficult emotions.
Read MoreAt the end of 2021, I read a book called Do Pause/ You are not a To Do list. This book landed in my body, my nervous system, and my heart in such a profound way that my word/theme for 2022 is PAUSE…
Read MoreLast night, me and my partner did our end-of-the-quarter ritual. It's quite simple and only takes about 45-minutes. We make tea, find a cozy spot in the house, and open our laptops. We then set a timer for 5-minutes for each question (4 total) and then after writing our answers down, we verbally share with each other…

Read MoreWe’ve all been there…a situation occurs and we think we’re simply expressing our viewpoint and values, when really, the way in which we’re relating is full of harsh accusations, ‘shoulds’, blaming, finger-pointing ("I’m right, you’re wrong"/"I’m good, you’re bad"/"how dare she/he!"), and a lack of understanding (often stemming from a lack of communication leading to a reaction, rather than a response)…
Read MoreIt’s a wild and wonderful thing that my own journey towards personal growth has become the catalyst for my professional path. And when the two collide, there are some deep and profound lessons learned…

It’s an enchanting, almost surreal moment when you’ve spent months brainstorming, meditating on, envisioning, creating, & curating something meaningful…and then it’s time to share it with the world. To invite others to dare to see the possibility that you have felt simmering in your bones like a sacred song that cries to be heard, to be felt, to be known.
It can feel both…
Empowering and Tender.
Exciting and Scary.
Ecstatic and Humbling.
Read MoreMany, many years ago I came across a piece of writing called, A Hopi Elder Speaks. Since, I have shared it with many students in my yoga classes across the world. It’s a prophecy shared by the elders of the Hopi Nation. Even after all these years, it still moves me to tears every time I read it. It’s like poetry to me… I literally feel it in my bones, moving through me as if it were a treasured memory, a sort of long lost knowing…
Read More2019 was a tender, heart-breaking, and exquisitely beautiful year for me. I will say farewell to it with both gratitude for the lessons I’ve learned and a deep readiness (and steadiness) to move forward with those gifts, in service….

Read MoreThere are times in our life when we are called into deeper reflection, more supportive self-care, and the space to re-define possibility for ourselves on a deep soul level.
These times often occur for us during transitionary moments in our life, which can be both inspiring and also downright necessary. Sometimes those moments in life call to us after an illness or a death. Sometimes it’s a nagging that’s been there for years, and finally, we just can’t ignore or numb it away any longer. And sometimes it’s a new phase on our timeline that feels important to us, such as a birthday or a profoundly new perspective/way of being that has soaked into our bones.
The reason for the call doesn’t matter as much as your intention for answering it - your willingness to lean into the whisper of your souls call and do the work it takes to bring your full self to the world. It’s this sort of reckoning, renewal, and reinvention that leads us to the fulfillment and freedom we seek, but you’ve got to be clear on three things if you’re to dive in with depth, honesty, and whole-hearted courage…
