You can’t shine when you’re covered in other people’s garbage. The other day, my client said I should write that one down because it was quotable. So here I am now, quoting myself. Ta-dah! Most of us take things too personally. We make things that are not about us, about us. And it’s the friggin’ worst. I’ve done it. You’ve…

got another 6 months of this in you?
I have a friend, also a coach, who tells her prospective clients to step up…and that if they don’t, they’ll be in the exact same place in 6 months. I thought, daaaang girrrrl that’s a BOLD declaration to make to someone you barely know. And then I thought more about it. She’s right. For years, whenever I’d get to the root…

you have a good WHY, don’t you? tell me ’bout it.
I want to tell you a little bit today about why I started teaching transformational work and traveling down this path from city-living political organizer to desert-dwelling healer and guide. It wasn’t just because this path allowed me to actually see what was truly important to me (uh, for the first time), finally get out of the crazy burnout loop of doing…

you need this in your purse (not what you think)
A teacher of my teacher once said something that I’ll never forget, “You either let the fear drive your car, or you just put in your purse, take it with you, and keep it moving.” Fear is a real driver. For everyone. You’ve definitely made decisions based on fear. So have I. So has every person that has ever lived and…

strive to make it right
What’s happening right now in this country with the family separations at the borders feels unimaginable for many and totally status quo for many others. For those of us feeling shocked, we have to reckon with the reality that these systemic acts of oppression on black, brown, and indigenous bodies are nothing new. AND we’re in a time where the…

get sensual…you know you want to
Ever dream of being so wholly focused and present, so in-the-moment that facebook, google, instagram, cleaning your house, getting another coffee, that half-eaten bag or blue corn chips, or your entire damn phone hold no attraction over you AT ALL? Or to be so connected, alive, vital and creative that you’re totally attuned to your values and actively designing your…
