I challenged you to choose a Word...

Let's reflect on all that last year offered, and let's envision a new year bringing us more alignment. This episode talks about practicing reflection and intention.

If you want a powerful compass to guide you through 2022, choose a word for the year that'll remind you on where to go. This episode talks about how to align with your Word for the Year.

Any couple problems can be addressed through personal growth, since most relationship issues come from interlocking complexes. This episode talks about ways to co-create soulful love.

Life can get so busy that it can seem that it's happening without us, but we should remember that space and focus create intentional evolution.

From here on out, I continue to honor Veterans and take time to clearly set intentions ar...

I even mentioned him in my book, HEART VALU...

In terms of success, people sometimes think that we have to do everything on our own to get to a goal. That is simply not true.

Every person in life goes through lows and highs; they are the peaks and valleys of our journey. Looking at life, the depth of each valley and the height of each peak may not be exactly the same, but they help build our life. Cherish the lows to know that you want something more, and appreciate the highs that bring you bliss to know what's possible. A few years ago, my health required extra care,...

At the core, people simply want to be acknowledged as being another human. Humans like to belong and to form a connection over numerous similarities: likes, quirks, or goals. Ironically, there is sometimes a gap in how humans connect when trying to empathize with the human experience. Could it be that each individual is mentally wrapped in their own world? Could it be that individual human experie...

Something wonderfully coincidental happened recently. While driving my dogs to dog training, there were at least three cars that didn't use their turn signals. Driving in that situation can be frustrating, but with being intentional about my energy, the situation worked in my favor by inspiring an insight for me that I want to share with you. I'll tell you my inspiration of why turn signals are a...
