The healing I've experienced since has been surprising to say the absolute least. My heart goes out to anyone that's mourning...

It's okay to take a break, it's okay to slow down, it's okay to take a couple steps back, it's okay to take that nap, to eat that cookie, to push back that deadline, if these things will protect your overall health. I'm always being reminded that growth is not linear, and that the rest is just as important as the work. I read a quote today that said something along the lines of you are not just go...

While planning, writing, and filming this episode, I felt the anxiety of the inevitable changes that are to come. But through the creative process I saw the number 999 several times. This is a number I've rarely seen before and I finally decided to look it up. "999: signifies completion and new beginnings. It urges you to trust the process of life, brings closure to what's no longer n...

For this week's pot of gold, a special Saint Patty's episode. I first have to give homage to my grandfather, as today would have been his birthday and I do feel he helped empowered me in so many ways to start this podcast and share these messages. How many times have I had a stressful night at work and then went out and got drinks with friends, so I didn't take off my make up when I went home, the...

Join me for this rather reflective episode. Life is not always good and often when it's bad we feel stuck, in a hole, unable to see how things will turn around and get better. Slowly but surely we climb out and rise above and before we even realize it we are in the shining sun again. Sometimes we fall back down, but just keep holding on it'll get better, it's always darkest before dawn...

There are so many messages out there that tell us who we are, who we should be, what we need, why we should change, but I believe inside all of us there is a quiet knowing and our own compass, so this episode is here to tell you to listen to that. This episode isn't going to tell you to do anything other than believe in yourself, be kind to yourself, and do what's right for you. After the last two...

We’ve made it to episode two! I want to invite you to get really vulnerable with me as we talk about our emotions and why we should treat ourselves more kindly. Our emotions are a message to the brain like any other sense, like sight or hearing. We wouldn’t get mad at our nose for smelling something bad, we wouldn’t try to tell our nose it was wrong or overreacting; so why do we do the same to our...
