I’ve experienced many times in my life that letting go or saying no to something creates space for what’s more in alignment to flow to you.

Plants, welcome mat, decorations. Yet we tend to enter our home through a dark garage or the back door. A metaphor for perhaps how we show up for others before we show up for ourselves. We beautify for others to witn...

When we’re physically injured we ‘heal.’ When it comes to the inner work I’m far more inclined to say ‘reveal.’ Why? Well…we’ve always been enough. We were born enough. Society molded us and traumatized us which takes us away from being the v...

Mindful Musing ~ 2% Shift

I had the wonderful opportunity to do a mini-retreat at a wonderful place called On-Site sponsored by the wonderful non-profit Music Cares. At the retreat, they shared a concept called the "2% Shift." I love the idea of taking a micro habit and changing it, then looking over time at how that micro habit grows to macro. When you course your life over time, it's the 2% shifts that make the difference. We get so bogged down and overwhelmed to change everything all at once. Start small and let it gr...

Mindful Musing ~ Habit Hack

This one is a fun one. When we do the same routine each and every day we get into autopilot. That can then lead to you checking out on life. Why not start small and drive a different way to work? Brush your teeth with the other hand. These little things help us to become more present and our minds more focused on being in the moment.

Mindful Musing ~ $83 Pizza

This a little story to remind everyone that how we show up and react to others is incredibly important and even on a micro level can shift someone's energy. Also, a story that showed me personally how mindfulness practice can get us all to a place where we react to the world from a place of alignment and our true authentic selves, not from trauma. Always a gift to see the work reflected back. Peace friends.

Mindful Musing ~ Do Something

Mark Manson has a great principle in his book. Half of the battle is the idea that we can't get motivated to sit down and do something. Whether it's creating, or building your toolbox to create more and deeper elements, just simply doing is half the battle.

Vulnerability

VULNERABILITY Transcript: Let's talk about Vulnerability. I recently listened to a podcast with Doctor Gabor Maté who does a lot of work with trauma and addiction. He’s one of my favorite authors and people to listen to. He recently spoke about Vulnerability and how he defines it as... “Our capacity to be wounded.” Nobody wants to be wounded, especially as an adult. Isn't it funny that we always want to be right? We don't want to listen to other people's opinions, especially today. I'm a Democra...

Mindful Musing ~ 3-4-5 Reset

It's important to be aware enough to find yourself reacting to something that may be a trigger response. You could yell at a driver for cutting you off, but it's not the driver, it could have been something that happened earlier in the day you never processed. Meditation is a way to slow that response time, but also, look inward with breathing. Next time you find yourself frustrated in line, or in a hurry, try the 3-4-5 Reset. It'll work wonders for your day.

Listening

LISTENING Transcript: Let's talk about listening. I think if we were all honest with ourselves, we would say that listening is difficult on many occasions. Have you been in a conversation where you're trying to finish the person’s sentence or you're somewhere else and not fully present? Buddha said a beautiful thing: “Listen to people with a beginner's mind” If we can be present and if we're in a good practice of Mindfulness, Meditation or any other modality that gets you into a present state, y...
