INSPIRATION

What does it actually mean to love through fear—not bypass it, suppress it, or spiritualize it away—but meet it with clarity, courage, and compassion? Please enjoy my Loving Through Fear episode on Rooted & Wild. We explore how fear shows up in our bodies, our choices, and our relationships, and how learning to work with fear—rather than against it—can become a powerful catalyst for clarity, agency, and meaningful change. This conversation weaves practical tools, reflective

A new year is a powerful portal - a cosmic reset inviting us to step into the highest version of ourselves. While every morning offers a fresh start, there’s something especially potent about January, urging us to set intentions with clarity, courage, and joy. However you choose to evolve this year, know that I am here for you - whether that means finding fresh purpose, letting go of what's no longer serving you, changing the way you show up, navigating transitions, wanting s

I entered an altered universe. One of machines and pints of strangers' B+ blood. Nurses moving in and out. Taking vitals in masks and paper gowns. A dear family member hooked to tubes that deliver clear bags of chemo. Thrice daily for five days straight. With several cycles still to come. Wrecked. Curled up and fading. Still whispering please and thank you. So I became a self-ordained shaman. I whistled, moved energy with feathers and my hands, tapped, held their toes, and wh

Many of us were taught about original sin and "humanity's fallen state". Psalm 51:5. I suggest we refine the interpretation. We make mistakes. We do and say awful things. We mess up. Yesterday, I felt free of my reactivity. I was cool. Relaxed. All good. Today, no. I watched myself get pissed as a woman wedged her monster Cadillac Escalade IQ into the parking space in front of me and locked me in. Through this coaching process, we work with our knee-jerk reactions and spicy b

Does your mind sometimes feel like a herd of wild horses? Eckart Tolle speaks of breaking free from the conditioned mind. " Life repeats itself until you become fully present...Please use every moment to step out of the conditioned mind and into a deeper state of consciousness." What's happening. Our brains are evolutionarily wired for survival, even though saber-toothed tigers are no longer waiting to devour us. The brain is "velcro for danger and negativity". Therefore, we

Loving-kindness meditation is a radical act of love. This powerful heartscape practice helps us cultivate compassion, kindness, care, and acceptance for ourselves as well as others. A heart-opening practice that strengthens our connection to all living beings.   1.  Begin by finding a comfortable seated position. Straighten your spine and gently close your eyes as you settle in with a few deep, relaxing breaths.   2.  Once you settle, take a moment to embrace the fullness of

Anna Scott, dear friend and wise woman, interviewed me for her podcast My Love of Life Energy. Listen here for my unconventional take on embodiment. How do we embrace love and acceptance? How do we allow compassion to flow freely through our veins? How do we help, grounded and delighted, for what needs attention and love?

Principled leaders are suffering. To survive, they have to balance on the razor's edge of corporate life. They're values often diametrically opposed. Coaching client and industry leader “Denise” felt the burn. She had to exceed unrealistic expectations, while, at the same time, shield direct reports from the fire drills, whims, hissy fits, and deceit of upper management. Questions Denise explored during coaching: What do I love to do? What am I here to contribute? What am I g

Coaching client “Gina” managed an 85+-employee cannabis cultivator/manufacturer when I started coaching her. She felt boxed in by her unconventional job when considering exiting the pot business and going mainstream. She said she needed to “reconcile white collar vs blue collar” as she saw herself as an "outsider". During our work together, Gina realized her accomplishments, experience, and leadership skills were transferable and valuable to any industry. We developed a cou
