When you are presented with a decision or choice to make, and your instant reaction is one of overwhelm … do you listen in to that intuitive guidance? Overwhelm, despite probably feeling like an annoyance, is actually your friend. It’s trying to talk to you and let you know what’s right – and not-so-right – for your body, mind and...

We all know that phrase, ‘I’m sick and tired, of being sick and tired’ … but today I wanted to offer you a different perspective on feeling this way.  Often, we berate our bodies for feeling the way they do. As if our poor bodies are punishing us – through illness or burnout or exhaustion. But, really … there is...

I’ve now entered my 30’s – and the one thing I am mega certain about as I move through this new milestone is this: I’m simply not interested in being exhausted and burnt out anymore. Can you relate? Over the years – in this crazy journey that we call life! – I have come to deeply believe that it is...

Do you feel guilty when you have white space in your calendar?  In other words, when you have free time – do you allow yourself to rest, relax, and actually enjoy it?  In modern society, we are sooooo conditioned to think that ‘busy is better’; that the more we do the more ‘worthy’ we will be; that the more people we please...

Are you a People Pleasing Woman? Me, too! My whole life, it was reinforced to me – by the people in my immediate life, but also by the WORLD – that the more I pleased everyone, the more worthy I was.  I loved seeing the results of helping people, of doing what people asked of me, of being a ‘good girl’,...

Do you trust that who you are and what you’re doing in life is enough?  I recently had an experience which changed my perspective of my own personal ‘enoughness’.  Of my recent few weeks in Bali, the first week was at a yoga retreat – one I’d already taken 5 or 6 years ago, one that I couldn’t wait to...

Self-care.  I’m the first to cringe internally when writing about or posting about this important topic. After all – who am I to preach about the value of self-care? I don’t have children. I have, what seems from the outside, to be a relatively calm, quiet and peaceful life. And yet.  There are still days (many days) in my life...

In 2014, when I was in my last year of studying to become a naturopath, I was sick 8 months in a row with the same glandular virus – from January through August. Every four weeks, I’d get it again. It would knock me around for about a week at a time. In that year, I was overloading online theory...

I am not perfect, and I believe it is this very fact, that actually MAKES me perfect – even when I can’t see it. Because perfection is present in imperfection, in the individual idiosyncrasies + traits + characteristics that we each possess. But I have to keep reminding myself of this fact – that I am perfect, no matter how many...

‘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...
