A few weeks ago, I was struck by an SUV while cycling. Ouch! After 33 years of riding my bike on the road, this was my first accident. But...I'm Alive. What happened that day was a wake-up call and an epiphany.   Apart from being lucky for having survived that scary as hell situation, I thought I'd share my thoughts about how it impacted me on a visceral level. It made me rethink the past year and...

An empath is someone who's highly sensitive and picks up on the energy of others. Many say they can "feel others pain." It's not an exaggeration, and if this is you, you may not have heard the term before, but you'll know right away if it fits. You may be the person who dreads parties and crowds because they can make you feel heavy, sick, and possibly like you're taking on other people's problems....

All of us have been through so much these last few months with quarantine life, protests, racial inequality, and all the powerful feelings behind centuries of injustice coming to the fore. Some of us can urge you to "be positive" or "adopt a positive mindset" but I know it's not that simple.    When things have been truly challenging in my life those phrases have felt feel empty or even triggering...

Man, we've been through a ton these last few months. I know it's been intense, hard to predict what's next, and challenging to stay positive even for those who are generally pretty upbeat.    The quarantine, work from home, homeschooling, mask-wearing, and social distancing, along with the racism we're working through as a nation has impacted me for sure.   So I'm sharing what's been going on in m...

Self-mastery during the Corona Virus and Social Distancing. How to find ways to thrive during times of isolation and disconnection. How to take advantage of going inward and finding what lights a spark and gives you hope for a better tomorrow.  

Last week was Mental Health Awareness week. We may think we know what someone who's suffering looks like. Do you? Maybe you have the image of someone unbathed with their head down, choosing not to join in at public gatherings. But it's not that simple.   In this episode, we have DeAnn Wandler-Vukovich a USMC veteran, with an accomplished career in higher education, including multiple wellness cert...

  Does a Chaotic Childhood Result in a Chaotic Unsuccessful Adult Life? It's a great question. I'm sure most of us would respond with a resounding, "Yes!"  It's refreshing when we find evidence against this assumption. Enter Author and successful executive Hope Mueller. Hope shares her early experience of mostly raising herself as a child in a free wheeling commune where sexual freedom, drugs, and...

I'm happy to be back with this short episode to update you on the summer break, what's been happening, and the direction I'm taking the podcast. The title of this episode is "Pause. Rest Before You Start Again." I chose this title because I see in myself and so many of the women in my life and work that we don't excuse ourselve...

Power of Forgiveness - Releasing Dark Energy to Heal Releasing negative thoughts, anger, and bitterness to heal faster I was compelled to share this message today ahead of the interviews I have scheduled. It was a powerful tap on the shoulder from God, the Universe, higher power, whatever name you have for that force. It began by listening to a video on youTube. I dropped everything to share this...

Happy Independence Weekend!! This solo episode is about independence, independent thoughts, and leaving behind or minimizing the things, circumstances, and people that don't serve to move you forward. And, liberating ourselves from recurring thoughts, stories, and messages that keep us SMALL or stuck. It takes work, but it's work with a massive pay off to do this deliberately. You may not see and...

  I'm happy to share this interview with Amy Goober as she represents two massive opportunities for us as women.

As a Certified Health Coach, Amy supports and guides c...

After a virtual pre-interview meeting with Rnold and Michelle, partners and founders of The Connection App. I knew I wanted to work with them and latch onto their Connection movement. I've struggled with disconnection and isolation myself and I see so many people around me in the same boat. And since May is mental health awareness month it makes sense to tackle this topic in a positive way to bols...

I'm so proud of this interview with Leah Carey, Host of Good Girls Talk About Sex. She's an incredibly articulate and sensitive interviewer who gives women the opportunity to share their intimate thoughts and experiences related to sex. Her show is a guilty pleasure and a window into women's minds and sexual behavior. We discuss coming of age in an emotionally abusive relationship and how that imp...

The loss of a loved one may be one of the hardest challenges that many of us face. When we lose a spouse, sibling, parent, or friend, our grief can be particularly intense, with emotions ranging from sadness to anger to even feeling depressed. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, but there is a way to aid one's healing by shifting the way you look at grief and loss, to help you honor the memo...

I've decided not to let perfection stop me from recording and sharing episodes. So this one starts with a brisk walk where I'm sharing my awareness of how Karma is working in my life to teach me what I need to learn. And I'm seeing patterns that are so clear it's a bit shocking. If the walking and talking drives you nuts, just listen to the last 17 minutes where I'm inside sharing the 12 laws of K...

You cannot create anything you want from life if you cannot see it as a possibility. For your dreams to manifest into reality, you must have a distinct vision to help you navigate through life. When going through a difficult time in your life, whether it be a divorce, the passing of a loved one, a diagnosis, the loss of a job, or the divine storm, it can be somewhat challenging to think that a bet...

  The title for this podcast is out there, I know! But for a long time, I've been sensitive to the moon and lunar events but never gave it too much thought until the last few years. I joke with my daughters that I'm Luney Tunes - my spin on being tuned into the lunar changes. I planned to have a regular episode but the way that this week unfolded with bizarre events and emotional upheaval among th...
