Unwind Your Life

Metaphors can be SO POWERFUL! This is an image I come back to time and time again. What does this image bring up for you? Are you feeling more like the caterpillar or more like the butterfly? Or maybe you're in metamorphasis? Image Source: When Everyone Leads: How the Toughest Challenges Get Seen and Solved by Ed O’Malley, Julia Fabris McBride, et al.

Creating, communicating and upholding boundaries is one of the ultimate forms of self-love. It's a continuous practice. Understanding who we are and what we stand for helps us identify what boundaries are necessary to honor that. This episode is a short nugget on a BIG TOPIC. My hope is that you take away a little something that inspires you to uphold boundaries that allow you to live with mor...

I'm here to help you rediscover the truth that you are worthy no matter what. Here's how we can get started: https://calendly.com/u...

Ya know those parenting moments that just bring you to your knees?? Let me tell you about my morning! There are times when we do all that we can to ensure the outcome we'd like and yet, shit still hits the fan. Boy, do we love ourselves a good dose of control! Here's a little story about Hollis and his undies and how we are so NOT in control most of the time! Enjoy my friends!

Another episode from the Vault! (June 25th, 2020) Some may say that the audio quality on this episode is unacceptable. As I listen back to myself, however, I love the authenticity of it. The sound of my feet on the dirt road and the trucky passing by as I process my thoughts. The world around us doesn't need to stop in order for us to show up authentically. Gold Nuggets: Emotions are Energy In Mot...

My dear friend, former client & business coach Gretchin Staples joins me for an impromptu conversation on today's episode. We reflect on how we initially connected and the magic that happens when we show up in the we're called to. Gold Nuggets from this conversation: Make sure you're putting yourself out there and not hiding. Something happens when we all show up in the way that we...

This is an episode from The Vault! Honestly, I feel like it found me today and it was exactly what I needed. A reminder from God that we hold within ourselves the answers we so desperately seek and that we already have everything we need. I recorded this episode almost four years ago in 2020, but I reference thoughts from nearly 7 years ago in 2017. I hope you find something powerful in it just as...

Are you in the practice of recognizing your own needs? How about clearly communicating those needs with others? Why is this even important? Here's an awkward day-in-the-life story of mine to remind you! Sometimes it can be intimidating to even know where to start when it comes to recognizing and honoring your own needs. Or sometimes you are aware of them but struggle to communicate them clearl...

Women's bodies are incredible!! The more I've learned about my own hormone cycle, the more grace, love, and compassion I've given myself. This topic came up in all of my coaching sessions last week, which gave me the nudge that I needed to share this one! Here's the episode I reference: https://open.spotify.com/episode/03hOddSZAcFDM0KNFJjCHY?si=75906679277c4698 I'd love to know...

Breathwork is intentionally the very first scheduled activity at the Unwind Retreat for women. It allows us space to disconnect from the world around us so we can reconnect with ourselves. As women, we can get into the habit of tending to everyone else's needs before our own and lose ourselves in the middle of it all. Reconnecting with ourselves is an essential part of living a happier and mor...

In this episode, I take us back to the rough emotional state I was in when I found meditation, the most important lessons I've learned from it, and why I continue to incorporate the practice into my life today.

God, You have placed a calling on my heart. Help me to not be afraid of it but to know and to trust the feeling. To experiment because there is no such thing as failing. To go for it simply because I can and it is what you made me for. To love more. To fear less. May it come naturally and may I trust each step you guide me to take. May I not get caught up in the HOW, but co-create with your divine...
