Where this “good girl” came from
Recently I opened a newsletter from a writer/coach I deeply admire. And this newsletter (like many in the past) spoke directly to where I am on my journey. She wrote about following her "hut" (heart + gut...brilliant btw!) and her words resonated so deeply with me that I was compelled to respond...
My “Not Until”…
Sometimes I can’t believe that I have made it here in what seems like a blink of an eye. Does that sound corny? Yes I know it does but recently I have been feeling pretty corny and sappy and all around euphoric about the direction my life has taken. I know how far I've come...you see in June of...
Just Start Writing…(again)
[This post was originally written in the summer of 2016... Today I have chosen to exercise my right to write and belong wholly to myself. Looking back at a this time years ago, when all appeared possible and unknown, I recognize the truest parts of my Self. And now a few years down the road of...
Living life on purpose…
I want a life on purpose not one by default... I want a life where I am here, now, where I can appreciate the time and energy it takes to be true to oneself in a world that is working hard to make it hard. I vividly remember thinking that I had no clue why I was here. I knew that I...
What do you make time for everyday?
Do you make time for coffee, the drive to work, to make dinner? Do you stop what you're doing to bathe your children, do the laundry and ask about their day? Do you plan ahead so that you can fit it all in? My BIG question is what have you made time for today that is just for you, for your goals,...

A while back I enforced the "no screens, big or small, in the bedroom" rule. I dug out the alarm clock, that we usually keep in the spare room for guests, plugged it and low and behold...no more need for my cell phone to wake me up in the morning...or the middle of the night! Recently I moved my...
Harness the power of the storm
I feel powerless when... I am spiraling in my shame storm (right before I realize where I am). My shame storm always plays out the same way and what makes it so fucking awful, is that it bubbles up within me before I know whats happening. And although I am getting better at recognizing it, it...
When the shame storm swept in…
Although I was still pretty nervous I was super proud of myself for scheduling weekly Facebook LIVES in my group to share the years of knowledge and wisdom I had acquired on my journey towards my most authentic self. I remember very early on thinking to myself ... "If I could make a living out of...
The difference between belonging and fitting in…
In my lifelong quest for belonging, I spent years (f'n years) trying to fit in. And year after year I found myself feeling lonely and more disconnected the more that I "tried". I didn't know what I was doing wrong, I tried so hard to give people what they wanted and I never really thought of the...
