⁠ 2026 CVP Sign up Link ⁠ Creative Visionary Program (CVP) Week 1: DISCOVER I decided to take the Creative Visionary program again this year so this will be my second year.

I'm on a Money Journey and wanted to record some affirmations for myself listen to so I wanted to share them with you as well. Some people say affirmations are mumbo-jumbo but I think I'm used to saying mean stuff to myself so I may as well say nice things and things that feel good so I can feel good. The more we practice saying good, positive things to ourselves the more we will believe t...

EFT Tapping can be helpful for stress reduction and if you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, overwhelm or depression. I go through the points based on a situation I had with my kids where I was stressed and got angry at them. You don't have to get any of this perfect. Get the points in the basic positions and even if you don't say anything when you tap you'll get some benefit. Star...

This Episode starts off with the sound of the healing bowl we bought in Zurich Switzerland from someone from Nepal. It's such a beautiful sound I wanted to share it with you. Then I talk about letting yourself do things messy and highlighting a point from the Book Creative Calling (see Episode8 ) about letting yourself suck. There is power in just starting even though you don't know exactly what y...

I recorded this with a cold so excuse the extra noises and pauses. In this Episode, I referenced a book called "Creative Calling" by Chase Jarvis since he has so perfectly written what I've known to be true my whole life. We are all creative and meant to live creative lives. I outline: - Chase's definition of creativity and why it's important to everyone. - What it's impo...

In this Episode, I discuss Unhelpful Thinking Styles that a lot of us use in every day life but really don't serve us well for living the big, bold lives we want to live. These ways of thinking develop over time from events that have happened to us or how family and friends think. Maybe you'll recognize some of the styles that you use regularly and perhaps being aware of this will help you...

RAIN TOOL In this week's Episode I talk about the RAIN Tool (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) that Tara Brach talks about in her book Radical Compassion. I use this tool on myself as well as coaching clients to start to recognize all emotions and thoughts and not judge them. I have other tools to use on painful or unhelpful thoughts but the first step is recognizing the thoughts or emot...
