WISDOM

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

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.

By listening to our heart's wisdom, we can respond to all of life from a fierce knowing. A tender touch. A profound calling. It's both a practice and an intention. We get distracted. We slip up. We forget. And then we choose to return again and again, forevermore, to the essence of who we are. Living and serving from there. Let my love open your heart. This is freedom.

The shadow side of humanity is at play. The news is disturbing. Our own situation can be daunting. And yet... “When I play, I feel the vibration in my heart,” the cellist Yumi Kendall told   Dacher Keltner , a psychologist who studies awe. “It is beyond language. Beyond thought. Beyond religion. It is like a cashmere blanket of sound.” Per Atlantic  writer Peter Wehner, "...the research  we do have indicates that a sense of awe can have positive effects on individuals, includ

When we are seen and heard from deep presence and reverence. When we feel safe enough to share all of our parts with an unbiased, compassionate ally, our hearts float open. We experience the beauty living within us. We discover our own agency. We can say hard things. Make better decisions. Judge less. Inquire more. Honor our strengths. Pursue what we love. Find relief. Improve relationships. And, live and respond from our power and purpose.  #wisdomcoach #channeling #awarenes

Wisdom arrives in all shapes and sizes. Including our Starbuck's cashier in Auburn. She delivered a sweet response to my, "How are you?" She said, " I'm living the dream. Slaying the dragon and saving the princess". Translation: "Living the dream" : Fulfilling one's aspirations and purpose. "Slaying the dragon" : An obstacle to overcome, understand, or befriend to ensure forward motion. "Saving the princess" : The object of rescue, such as a precious treasure, community, or s

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

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?

I hope you'll listen to my first Spotify podcast episode on Rooted & Wild with David Allen Tracy! David writes, "What if the moments that feel like collapse are actually doorways into your deepest clarity? In this episode, I’m joined by Laurie Clemans, a Certified Life & Leadership Coach (ICF), Certified Meditation Instructor, Professional Clinical Herbalist (RH), Healer, Mother, Channeler, Super Creative, and unapologetic Corporate Renegade.

"Be a light unto yourself; betake yourselves to no external refuge. Hold fast to the Truth. Look not for refuge to anyone besides yourselves". – Buddha Shakyamuni "The answers lie within you". Many have spoken of this. From Viktor Frankl and Rumi to Heraclitus . We were trained to ignore our own council. Go with the program. Blend in. Don't rock the boat. Follow the leader. Keep quiet and look intelligent. Stick to the script. Tow the line. Soul Essent is here to help you rep

Our hearts hurt. Our bodies hurt. Our minds hurt. And yet, we can also know love and feel loved, experience wonder, offer ourselves grace...

What are you holding onto that you would love to release? Our human minds are filled with a litany of hurts, judgements, stories, wishes,...

Ask questions with altitude. What matters most now? How can I make each moment count? How can I live a loving life? How can I deeply appreciate life? The answers, with practice, become effortless when they arise from a place of love.  Recalibrate. Refocus. Connect with nature, with like-hearted people, and, most importantly, with your own potential.  #loveistheway #leadwellfromwithin #transformation #wisesupport #oktobevulnerable #fillyourcup #nourishyoursoul #laurieclemans

All transformation begins within. Yet its effects ripple far beyond us. In a world of noise, distraction, and urgency, we are invited to stillness, clarity, and presence.
