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…
Read MoreDear human,
Have you noticed how very easy it is for life to pass us by? To feel you've woken up suddenly, a decade older. To wonder where the time has gone and why you haven't been more intentional, present, and connected along the journey.
Slowing down
Dropping in fully
Taking our metaphorical masks off
Convening with our soul in a true and beautiful way
