One thing that has been very top-of-mind: Opposition. You know when you get in the groove and then suddenly life happens? It can be so frustrating and even tempting to throw yourself a pity party.

We all want to feel like we have a place in this world. We want to be accepted and appreciated. However, the way we do that, really matters. Many of us may find that we tend to do what we can to fit in. We try to like the shows, the podcasts or songs of our friends to fit in and have something to talk about. Maybe you buy the clothes, say more things or do more things because you're trying to fit in. But how do you feel when you're trying to fit in? Usually it's a graspy heavy place. And it...

Do you ever have those moments when you're feeling an emotion and you get stuck trying to figure out why? And as you try to figure it out- you find that you get frustrated? We've all heard that phrase "when emotions are high and intelligence is low" but for some reason we still think we need to figure it all out when we're feeling super emotional. What if trying to figure it out is half the problem? What if we just need to learn to validate the emotion to help navigate the situations that...

When we are sick- do we try to just solve for it by doing more? Do we go for a run, or clean more? Do we try to understand where it's coming from?  Not usually. Usually we just know that we're not doing good, we give ourselves the support we think we need, and we rest. We take it easy. The same is how we can support our emotions. Instead of just ignoring they're there, trying to outperform them or do something different- let's learn to slow down and be with them. We don't need to understand...

Five years ago, if someone had told me that I would take 8 weeks off my podcast- I would have dismissed that idea. Back then, I would have told you that wasn't what successful people do.

Can’t wait to hear what you think!  &&& Exciting news mentioned in this episode:  If you...

How many times have you heard that we should avoid our triggers? How many times do you notice what triggers you and try to distract away from it? Or even blame the trigger for the way you feel?  Many of us, especially in the self-development world have heard the term triggers and have actually be taught to not give our power to triggers.  While I agree we don't ever want to give something outside of us our power, I also don't want to just dismiss our triggers.  I believe that our triggers...

We are hearing a lot of messages around Selfishness lately. That we need to stop being so selfish.  This has a lot of people in the self-development world scratching their heads. Should we stop working ourselves? Is that selfish?  Selfishness in general has gotten a bad wrap.  When we think of that word- we don't typically think of a positive definition.  However, I think understanding what it actually is- can help us shed some light on what selfishness really is.  I believe there's a...

Have you ever watched the show "Alone"? It's about these people that get dropped off into a forest with very few tools and compete to see who can outlast everyone else.  They have to get prepared by making their own homes, and creating a food and wood storage to last through the cold winter.  Now if someone decided one day to just not do anything because they didn't see the point, or because they thought it was so boring, then there may not be consequences in the short term, but their long...

Often we can get caught up in our lives only focusing on what is not working.  We are of course- programmed to look for the problems.  However, sometimes its good to take a pause and remember that there are a lot of things working in our lives.  There's a lot we could receive.  Receiving is a skill to grow.  We love to give.  We love to solve. But receiving is often a bit harder.  So today, I challenge you to work on receiving more in your life.  More in your day. More in your...

We have a desire to be connected to our loved ones on a deep level. We want that intimacy. And yet, for so many they are lacking in that connection.  They think it has to do with getting their love language fulfilled.  Or even having them show up a certain way. I want to offer that in order to be connected to anyone else, we have to become intimate and connected to ourselves.  We are the gatekeeper to our intimacy. We only allow in what we believe.  So if you're wanting to deepen your...

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Unsupported? Frustrated?  Are you feeling like there isn't enough time to get everything done?  I am noticing a collective of people and clients going through this right now. They're is this fear that if they don't get things done, then they are going to be considered unproductive.  This is so fascinating to me. We are pushing non stop for what? To prove what?  I want to shift this conversation to seeing how the drive to being productive as determined on the...
