can we talk about anxiety?

Can we talk about anxiety? …because May is Mental Health Awareness month and it seems like a good time to share that I talk to my anxiety. Let’s rewind a minute. I’ve never thought of myself as anxious. And then someone close to me was sharing how their anxiety manifests and my first reaction wasContinue reading “can we talk about anxiety?”

I said ‘yes’ to this

I love my dog but, real talk, some aspects of having a pet are not so glamorous. Can you relate? Dogs need exercise, and they need picking up after. I don’t love this, but it’s a necessary aspect of responsible pet ownership. And it reminded me of a conversation I had with a client theContinue reading “I said ‘yes’ to this”

love is my magnum opus

It’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I’ve been busy (dating) and honestly, this feels a little scary to share: Love and partnership are important to me. I have long dreamt of an epic, life-long love affair; I’ve envisioned it — and I thought I might’ve had it once or twice. And despite getting myContinue reading “love is my magnum opus”

What are you focused on? Are you putting your energy into what brings you happiness? In the past week, I’ve heard the words “form versus essence” come up more than once. This phrase contains a clue to why so many of us feel unsatisfied so much of the time.  We tend to think we needContinue reading “form vs. essence”

takeaways from The Science and Spirit of Gratefulness

It was just six months ago that I awoke to a powerful purpose: to share the transformational power of gratitude. More than that, I awoke one morning knowing that, of all the transformational modalities I’d studied along the path to becoming a coach, and of all the life experience I could apply in serving clients,Continue reading “takeaways from The Science and Spirit of Gratefulness”

For a dozen days, I’ve risen, fed the dog, grabbed a mug and sat in quiet contemplation to forgive people in my life for past hurts, wrongs, unmet expectations or moving on. Forgiving the same people day after day is a revealing practice. Here are some of the revelations I’ve experience since beginning my practice:Continue reading “what forgiveness reveals”
