About two years ago, I created an online course, Remove Goal Guilt, as I was working with several women in leadership roles who were goal setting as the new year approached. And recently, I listened to the material of this e-course in order to motivate myself in my new(ish) path as a mother, leader of my[…]
New Moon Rituals
New Moon Rituals I never used to consider the moon. I noticed it when it was big and full, and the other times I’d glance up at it and think cool…and carry onward. Things have certainly shifted, though, and I notice the moon as a great influence in my life. In the past 10 years, I started[…]
You are a wheel, and your life is a road
I’m notoriously bad at delivering analogies and idioms. I don’t know why, but my brain isn’t always wired to tell them correctly. However, I created one for you to help you clarify: What are the Soul Cycles? The Soul Cycles are what I teach in my one-month long mentorship. An easy way to look at[…]
I love her and I’m not ashamed
I spent a lot about a decade of my life resisting what was present in pop culture. Isn’t that what our late teens and early 20s are for? I thought TV was invented to numb us, that mainstream art was for there to homogenize us, and that any music that wasn’t recorded by Alan Lomax was a[…]
I cried in the grocery store parking lot
and found my strength again… Yesterday, I sat in the grocery store parking lot and cried. I cried because of exhaustion, I cried because everything felt so heavy, I cried because I really didn’t know how to go forward. I felt conflict upon conflict internally, and it was weighing me down. I teach acceptance that[…]
When you want to shut it all down
This week, I’ve felt ready to move on… to split from my recent commitments to journal… to shut down my website and online shop… to delete all of my social media apps… the feeling has been real. There has been an urge to simplify, to retreat, and to burn it all down and start from[…]
Learning trust with blind contour drawing
I’m in a place today where I’m dancing with the idea of a big change for me, and for my family. It’s a decision that has pros and cons on each side of the table. (I am not being vague to keep you guessing, it’s a sensitive matter that isn’t public yet!) Have you ever[…]
Your favorite colors have a meaning
The meaning of your favorite color Do you ever feel drawn to the same colors in your life and surroundings? I had this revelation that I surround myself with the colors indigo, purple, and magenta CONSISTENTLY. For instance, on my walk today I was wearing purple shoes, a magenta hoodie kept me warm, and my[…]
What does it mean to be the change?
In today’s turbulent and often sad times as an American citizen, I want to see change. There’s an aching in my soul that goes far into the knowing that racism, prejudice, and bigotry is ruining us. The thing is, it’s always been there. Maybe we turned our eyes away from this racism, but it’s been[…]
Dare to love your body
Here’s a re-post for you today, a blog I wrote when I was first pregnant (and not telling the world yet). I was daring to love my body during the roller coaster of change. I’m re-posting because life has been happening during nap time–which is my work time. Oddly enough, I planned to write about loving[…]
