For all of the burnout out, overwhelmed, people pleasing women: If you ever find yourself tiring of how people treat you, or what they expect of you; if you feel like you’re constantly pleasing everybody but yourself … I see you, I hear you, I feel you.  Lately in my life, I have been absolutely SLAMMED with the lesson of learning...

Modern society is all go, go, go. Outcome-driven. Reward for constant action. Work hard, get validation. Busy equals better. So, it’s no wonder we’re living in an age of chronic depletion, exhaustion, burnout, adrenal fatigue, and imbalanced hormones. These days, it’s truly a gift to have the ability to drown out the expectations of society, and tune in to yourself.  In...

‘During uncertain times, the only path onward is the path inward’ ~ Martha Beck At the beginning of this year, for a period of time, I lost all faith in myself – in my abilities, in my business, in my dream of making a difference in the world.  At the time, I was truly exhausted. I had hosted a lot...

I believe expectations just may be the ultimate bane of our existence. Think about it. How many of your most distressing moments have arisen from your unmet expectations … of others, of yourself, of the universe. As pleasure seeking humans, it is ingrained in us to expect that life and the people in it will deliver us what we want...

It requires huge amounts of courage to follow through in life.  Oftentimes, we know exactly what we need to do, but the fear that lies within and around that decision, halts us in our tracks. At this point, we have two choices: Stay as we are. Muster the courage to move through the fear and make the change. The problem...

Saying ‘no’, making our own choices, and setting boundaries are topics that comes up ENDLESSLY in my life.  In my writing, in my client sessions, with friends, with family … it seems we are all struggling with these concepts in some way. But why?  Personally, it’s been a LONG journey for me to become comfortable with saying no. A couple...

People are always (always!) going to have opinions about what you do with your life.  Things people have been opinionated about in my own life recently include: how I run my business, how much rent I pay, that I bought a dog, how I structure my days, how much I spend to buy organic food … and the list goes...

To anyone following their dreams,  I know it’s hard.  I know it’s a challenge, to know deep down that you want something different for your life, and admit that. Because – let’s face it, it’s usually easier to NOT change. I know it’s a challenge, to move toward the edge of your comfort zones, then cross them – not knowing what’s...

I recently re-read Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist (for probably about the tenth time). Everything about this book speaks straight to the soul. The entire theme is of following one’s Personal Legend, and I just adore it. Coelho writes of the challenges we face when we have the courage to realise our Personal Legend, or, in other words, the calling that we were...

Are we wasting precious time trying to fit too much into our lives, simply because we believe we ‘should’? I’ve written this many times before: I believe that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything. At some point we must choose to live the life we really want, which means giving away the actions that don’t serve our...
