Today's show is a departure from how I usually share, in part inspired by watching today's transfer of power in our nation's Capital. I'm not one to usually watch mainstream news as I find it not journalism as much as corporate positioning and too akin to reality television programming. But history is history and I am grateful I did so. If you know me at all, you know me to be strongly posisitioned on how what happens in life is the call to you and your soul to respond. Never clearer has then be...

Women are intimately connected with God in ways men are not, such as being able to grow a new human within themself, to turn their blood into milk for a child, and the manner in which our brains are created to be multi-functioned. In Eastern spiritual traditions, women are considered "the grace of God", an acknowledgement of the vast capabilites women have which men do not. And, with these abilities comes responsibilites as well. Join me as I talk about the sacred nature of women and how our vas...

Much of what you experience in life comes through the filter of beliefs you created from being told what is good and bad by other people. Changing your ideas about what is good and bad frees you to go beyond what keeps you unhappy and needs only your willingness to do so. Well, and perhaps some support and encouragement for doing so as well! Join me and learn how your beliefs are keeping you captive to unhappiness and feeling helpless or hopeless. As the bumper stick on my desk says, "Don't beli...

In the East, women are known as the grace of God, meaning they are that through which God flows his grace. And, women are also known to have but one weakness, which is their insecurity. Insecurity about how they look, or how they sound, or how they feel, you get the picture. When a woman challenges her insecurity as being true and reminds herself of being God's grace, she cannot be defeated. Join me as I share how to not buy into whatever keeps you feeling insecure about yourself and what makes ...

What's unspoken has so much power and your choice to not speak up costs you more than you think. While you may tell yourself it's not a big deal, or it really won't make any difference, the truth it, you are afraid of what speaking up will cost you. And while that may be so, not speaking usually costs you more in the long run. The world needs women to speak up, to stand up, to show up. Playing small, staying safe offer you promises of safety and acceptance which simply are not true. The cost of ...

Many of the women I work with are tired of being unhappy or of feeling helpless to make their life or relationships better. And while we spend some time on family and their past for setting the stage, my clear directive to them is to take responsibility for their current choices and the power they now have. And yet, this can be challenging, for we live in a culture which often languages and even rewards people who claim they are the victim of others. While I in no way am saying that there are no...

It's been an interesting year of becoming aware of how much bad behavior I put up with. And, I'm not alone. Many of the women and couples I work with are working with me as a result of putting up with bad behavior for too long or too much. We've been taught to be afraid of our body's early alert system which simply wants us to pay attention to the elephant stepping on our foot and not call it otherwise! Join me as I share how to dismantle your taught habit of not caring for yourself, not honorin...

We live in a time in which it seems as throwing blame and shame-or shade as my children call it-around is the favored way to go through life. If so and so are to blame, or shame on them for doing "x", then I've created the perfect excuse for why I cannot or have not made what I want of my life. And while it may feel good to do so at the time, in those brutally honest hours of early morning, we know we are full of bullsh*t. So if you are tired of using other people for why you are not happy or ha...

We are taught that if we have it together, life-and people-will go the way we want it to be. Hah! As the expression goes, "if you want to make God laugh, make your plans as if you're in control"! Life is an adventure, life is a journey, and life is not about what we want to control. When life reminds you that you are not in control, don't despair, get curious! I know....easier said than done but the truth is, control is not the purpose of life. Your adventures, your dreams, sharing your presence...

Life is challenging and life can be overwhelming, so who's got the time or the energy to do or give more? What if I told you that despite what you might believe, life gets better when you choose "being +1". Just what the heck do I mean by that? When you choose to live your life with being +1, you choose to offer yourself as the inspiration, the joy, the smile someone needs that day. Being +1 means committing to a little bit more kindness, a little bit more courtesy, a little bit more compassion ...

Today's headlines make it pretty clear love is in critically short supply these days, or at the very least, spread too thin. But what would you say if I told you that it's really self-love which is truly lacking? Yes, self-love, for self-love is the foundation of authentic love for another and for the ability to extend love to others. But what exactly is self-love? It's not what you think and why I feel it's important to spend some time talking about it. Self-love is not only loving yourself and...

So here's the deal-while marketing and your family may make you feel as though you and your life are flawed, what would happen if you picked up the cards you were dealt and played them? Meaning, instead of apologizing for how sensitive you are or how you don't like certain people, you simply allowed yourself to be as you are and went forth into life as such? Too often we censor and distort ourself in order to fit in, to get the approval of others. Yes, we all need community and we all are diamon...

We live in a time when information is abundant as to how to be happy. Even the US Declaration of Independence offers "unalienable right" to happiness as guaranteed by it's government. And yet happiness can be elusive, as realized by any measure of today's level of happiness in the human race. So what gives? Happiness lies in being congruent with your soul's purpose and your own sovereignty. Yet we have been taught our soul is for matters not earthly and to fit in with the crowd keeps you safe an...

Anger gets a bad rap, especially so for women whose anger may subject them to being called "a bitch, witch, negative" or worse. By not giving yourself permisssion to feel and consciously engage your anger, you dismiss or suppress an energy critical to your well-being and transforming your life. Anger-as with all forms of energy-has a range from hot to cold, and while hot anger gets most of the press, cold anger is no slouch when it comes to being destructive when not befriended. Anger is an ener...

Women are the leaders the Dalai Lama has said will lead us to a better world. But here's the catch--it won't be through leadership as we know it, nor through power as you've been taught. Women's power is a "both-and" form of power and requires a woman to have an intimacy with her grace grit and graitude as a woman. Tune into this session to learn what you were not taught about exercising your power as a woman and how power is commonly exercised is not a wise choice for women. Learn how power for...

Women today are expected to do it all, be it all. And while that may work when you are young or healthy or inspired, what happens when you get overwhelmed, or discouraged, or need some help yourself? Many women simply keep over-riding their own needs to keep up with the tasks of their roles and their jobs, which serves only to deplete their health and their spirit. If your spirit has gone AWOL, tune into today's show and learn how you can call back your best support for the many roles and respon...

Our times are awash in information like never before, yet what do we DO with all this information? Our bodies will have their responses-which we tend to dismiss or medicate-and our mind will be insatiable. Yet, a life well lived is one in which we live OUR life, not the reflections of other's lives. There is information never before shared but with a privileged few, now yours for the reading. But how do you go from the plethora of information to wise use of the information for your purposes in l...

We live in times most interesting, a time when many a truth we were taught is evolving before our eyes. Truths such as what is power, what is family, what has authority are breath-taking in their change. And terrifying can be the change to what we thought was true and secure. Women have been invited to step forth into more of their power, their impact, and their purpose to be leaders, healers and teachers of the changes we are in the midst of. Yet even planned revolutions bring unplanned course-...

Women's spirituality is lived in the temple of daily life, the everyday actions of life lived as sacred.

JaiKaur will muse on how life's challenges offer clear invitations for offering illumination and love.....and women are the masters of doing so in everyday l...
