I had a beautiful experience recently that I want to share as it reminded me about transition and being with the unknown; living in the mystery. We are always in transition. There are big transitions like a career change, moving, having a baby, divorce, and death of a loved one. There are also daily transitions like waking up from sleep, going to w... [Read More]
Filed Under: Flourishing Love
One of my favorite words is love. I love to love. I love to love my husband, kids, friends, and clients, dancing, camping, books, music, movies, plays, nature, food and on and on. February gets a lot of hype about... [Read More]
Filed Under: Flourishing Creating Space
Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the season’s invitation to pause, slow down, go within, and most importantly to LET GO! We are a few weeks out from the Fall Equinox, and I sense the whispers of leaves changing and a hint of coolness in the air. It is an in-between season: in-between the light ... [Read More]

This past week someone was talking to me about their spiritual experience. I left the conversation feeling strange. At first, I could not understand what felt off, as I am a spiritual person and love to chat with ... [Read More]
Filed Under: Flourishing Self-Acceptance is the Answer
I commonly see my clients rejecting the parts of themselves they deem as “bad” or “not good.” Things like procrastination, being late, being unorganized, not following up on email or text fast enough, not being able to keep all friend connections alive fall in the “I am not good enough” narrative. ...

Filed Under: Flourishing The In Between
Our culture values clarity, knowing, certainty, and goals. But so much of life is a process of transition, change, not knowing, and feeling lost.
Years ago, a mentor did a simple exercise with me. We were sitting in her living room and she asked me to find all the blue in the room. I tracked the room and took a mental note of what was blue. Then... [Read More]

Receptivity is allowing yourself to receive, and in the receiving you will increase your intuition and energy. When we are in career-life transition, our first instinct is to explore externally--to look outside of ourselves for answers. We take action and go, go, go. But what if you did the opposite and allowed yours... [Read More]

What is your relationship with resistance? As a coach, I witness resistance quite often. Resistance can FEEL hard. It can feel like a closing, but what if resistance was the opening? What if resistance was the messeng... [Read More]
Filed Under: Flourishing The Power of Ritual when Transitioning Seasons
We just had the Autumn Equinox on Friday, September 20th. This is a powerful and potent time of year. It is a time to harvest, slow down, and create a new schedule. It is a time of letting go and getting ready for the darkness (winter). Fall is also considered a time when there is a thin veil between us and the Spiri... [Read More]
