INSPIRATION

Magic is everywhere. Even as our awareness of the cries and whispers echoing across the planet grows louder. I encourage you to shift attention to this moment, to what you are grateful for. Offering compassion to yourself and doing the self-work necessary to be able to help others as well. Make plans, find joy, gather up your precious self, family, friends, and strangers. I am here to support and soften your journey, and coach you through the bumps in the road.

We all need someone to believe in us, to see us beyond our outward appearance, roles, gender, or personality. And, critical, see through to our intrinsic worth and goodness.

Hail to you, Osiris, Lord of eternity, Whose heart is calm amidst the chaos of the world. You who have passed through the trials of death and rebirth, Teach us the secrets of serenity and inner balance. Grant us the strength to navigate life's challenges, And the wisdom to find peace amidst the storms. May our hearts be as light as a feather, Free from the burdens that weigh us down. O Ptah, creator and sustainer of all things, Guide us on the path of Ma'at, the divine order.

Great Mystery, teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my Sacred Space and love beyond my fear, and thus Walk in Balance with the passing of each glorious Sun . A timeless prayer. We can chant daily. The Soul Essent Coaching Tradition is a pathway to self-trust at the deepest level. Serving your greatest good and greatest growth under the glo

Call it what you will: "coaching", "supporting", "serving". I am here to relieve suffering and cultivate awareness. We ache. We worry. We lose ourselves. We want. We need. We hope. We give. We dream. It is a lot being human. And still, we can learn how to follow the compass of the heart. For what needs attention, insight, and a plan.

Is fear holding you hostage? Rewiring Fear Into Flow is a conversation on Rooted & Wild about what happens when we stop trying to outrun fear—and instead learn how to work with it. In this episode, we explore how fear lives in the body, the nervous system, and our decision-making—and how it can be rewired into clarity, momentum, and flow. We unpack practical tools and spiritual perspectives for moving beyond stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and mental overload—without bypassing

Account manager "Sam” came to Soul Essent Life & Leadership Coaching with a laundry list “proving” he wasn’t worthy. His mindset had stunted his career development. He shared that fear, anxiety, self-aggression, and perfectionism ruled his life. We began to dismantle Sam’s limiting beliefs and replace them with the truth of who he really is. He invited his “dragons to dinner”. Creating positive pathways within his brain. Opening the door to upward and onward mobility. Sam's c

Underneath our thoughts, identity, and opinions rests the "Deep I". "Pure Awareness", "Presence", "Non-Duality", "Oneness", "Beingness"... This is the "you" that is eternal, knowing, and free. Available. Within the gap between thought and action, you will discover stillness, calm, and vitality. Through practice, we can meet life with more clarity, ease, and creativity. Gain insight. Access tools. Learn more.

Yesterday, I read Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield's simple mantra to relieve our suffering minds in the moment. When we want something, are triggered, think we need to be "fixed", or are trying to figure things out, repeat these two words: LET GO I've studied ancient spiritual texts and human potential books, gone on silent retreat, done breathwork and held my breath, talked things out, done sweat lodges, practiced Ngondro, studied neuroscience, chanted mantras, tried to save
