One of the key pieces that I have dealt with my entire life is that of belonging. I have felt like an outsider from the time I was a child. What I have learned is that we gather proof of our beliefs and we recreate them in the external world. Particularly in society today we other others and we other ourselves. Bringing our belonging, I have learned, is an inside game. It is something that we have...

"The way that we're going get through this whole thing that's happening in the world is by helping each other cross over (and not necessarily into death - there will be moments where that happens) but to cross over the different thresholds that come at these different pitstops and points in life. We’re gonna get through this and it's going to be taking all of us to walk each other home." My guest...

Mothering the body most certainly includes all of the things we typically think of with reference to necessary self-care. And, truly nurturing mothering of ourselves and others includes listening to the many languages our bodies speak. Listening to our need for movement, nourishment and attention to any symptoms of pain or discomfort. Listening and responding with the care, love and attention you...

When we’re in a constant state of agitation, we consume, we hoard, we war. We are not our best selves. In taking just a moment to consciously step outside these fear-based patterns, we can begin to shift our trajectory and that of the planet in a more loving direction.

What if we shifted perspective in our relationship with Mother Earth to that of lover, rather than mother? What if we honored and cherished and lavished gifts on her like we would a new mate? What if the relationship was reciprocal rather than one sided? When the dolphins came both in a dream and IRL, I began to pay attention.

She believes that we need all kinds of leaders. When each of us shines in the ways that are...
