Have It All

I’ll be honest with you, July was not an easy month. Okay, the whole year has been hard for me, if I’m being honest. I have had to grow and expand faster than I was ready at times, and it’s been BUMPY. But I also know that every choice I’ve made has been aligned with my soul and what matters to me. In this mini-episode I share a very hard choice I had to make to NOT buy a home I love that was sent...

Sometimes (ahem, all the time) the road to having it all is windy, unexpected and downright unpredictable. But when you listen to your gut, it always guides you into the right places. My guest on today's podcast, Tracey Countryman, shares about how she took many of the predictable roads, climbed mountains even (literally and figuratively) only to wind up taking new roads that have delighted, inspi...

I've always leaned on the saying, "If it's meant to be, it will be."  As someone who loves accomplishing, getting results, and making things happen, this phrase has helped me to relax into the flow of life and trust that what is meant for me will find it's way to me WITHOUT me forcing anything to happen. So, in today's episode, I share about how my dear friend Tracey and I danced in and out o...

Have you ever wanted to journal, but didn't know where to start?  You buy a journal, you have a good pen, you open the page and NOTHING. Like nada, zip, zero. You have NOTHING to write. Or so you think! Listen to this quick mini-episode to find out my top THREE ways to get you writing until your hand gets tired. And if you'd like more help learning to journal so you can have more freedom, cla...

Let the coaching BEGIN!  Journal this, "What is hard in my life?" And then ask yourself, "What am I resisting?"  As you'll discover, it's only ever your resistance that creates the HARD feelings we feel. And when you stop the resistance, everything gets EASIER. More relaxed, less stressful, less overwhelming. It has taken a lot of practice for me to get good at spotting it within myself...

The story continues! In this episode I share about how I kept relaxing and remembering that "it's all working out for me". Because when I stand in that vibrational state, it's a funny thing...it all works out! I cannot believe the synchronicities that happened again and again as I relaxed and let go. Every time I did, something else magical would happen.  And the funny thing is, once you get...

2 months ago, my world turned upside down.  My father's girlfriend and primary caregiver had a heart attack, and the story progresses from there. Take a listen to this 3 part series as I share how my family and I have navigated Alzheimer's, healing and a whole lot of faith. And if you need any support around these topics, my door is open. I'm taking new coaching clients right now, and my jour...

Slowing down is one of the most important things we can do to reduce stress and overwhelm, but it's so opposite to what we are accustomed to doing. What I love about journaling and hear all the time from clients is that journaling helps them to slow down.  I share in this episode the two main reasons I journal. 1. To see what's in my way to having what I want. To see my blindspots. 2. To prac...

From laughter and improv to facing the death and the Grim Reaper sitting on your bedside, this episode will have you laug...

Wanna know a secret?   NOTHING is hard, until you say it is.   Hard by definition is solid, firm, rigid, not easily broken. It also be definition is done with a great deal of strength or force.   So when we say something is hard, guess what happens? It becomes harder. It becomes more difficult to attain, until many times it becomes impossible to achieve.   The best things in my...

So happy to be sharing one of my favorite tips today in creating a life you love.

Start to look at your own life and see where it's happening. Because I pr...

Never in a million years did I think learning about SEO would change my life, until I sat down with Jordan Becerra for this interview and literally had my mind blown.   Quick back story.   Jordan and I were connected through her assistant, and I had no idea what she did. Her assistant was persistent and despite having to reschedule many times due to sick kids, travels, and time change ch...

What a treat to have my friend and new author, Staci Berkovitz , on the show today!   Staci turned 50 and could feel herself dreading the new decade. So what did she do?

You know when you meet someone and INSTANTLY connect? Isn't it just the best?! Well...today's guest, Rachel Madorsky , was like that for me when we meet at a retreat in Florida a couple summers ago. I remember talking to her and feeling so very SEEN and LOVED. It was instant, easy and sooooo relaxing. And it worked out perfectly that she wrote a book called "How to Love Yourself in One Week and Fo...

Here's the truth.    You are the only one who you'll ever be with FOREVER. Family and friends will come and go, but you will always be the one looking in the mirror at YOURSELF.   Years ago when I looked in the mirror, I really didn't like myself. And I definitely didn't love myself. So I made it my mission to fall in love with myself.    The dark parts, the mean parts, an...

I'm beyond thrilled to have my favorite person in the world on today's episode, my husband, Derek Morris.  We shot this right before going out on a date, and I'm so thankful we did. You see, Dec. 27th, 2012 was the day my whole life changed, and I'm a BIG fan of celebrating the clarity we both had that day. And embracing our deepest intuitions fully in all aspects of our lives then and now. S...

Oh the Universe has the funniest way of working things out when you really want something and are paying attention. You see, for all of my life I had dreamt of meeting the man of my dreams. I had been in New York City for all of 20s and dated and had relationships, but nothing that felt like the ONE. And so, I took a long hard look in the mirror and started to get myself ready. I hired coaches, to...

Take a walk down memory lane with me to Dec. 20th, 2012. I'd left New York City, the only city I'd lived as an adult, to find the love of my life, a dog and a backyard with twinkle lights...in Texas.   You see, my path to my current life was not linear and it also really wasn't very pretty. I had to face my own patterns with men, hello...black widow spider. Yikes, that was not a fun real...

I know I shouldn't say I have a favorite show...but if I did, this would be it.  BECAUSE MY MOM IS ON THE SHOW! She started a brownie truffle business  last year, and in today's show she shares all about how she started it (not what I thought) and we even have her biggest cheerleader join us. Hint, it's not me. I'd also like to point out, that she started her business at 75 YEARS OL...

This episode is VERY different than most because it's actually an impromptu coaching session that happened with my friend and colleague, Mare. She attended my holiday workshop on Sunday, and came back on Monday...but was the only one. Which, as you will soon hear...was perfectly meant to be. Mare had been waiting by the phone to find out if her mother had passed away, and at the time of coaching s...

Is not what you think. It’s not a super efficient time blocked day, it’s not having a bunch of money to invest, it’s not being really smart, and it’s certainly not working hard.    It’s allowing yourself to recognize where you feel unsafe, feel how it feels, and re-parent yourself. That is how you actually grow.   Your nervous system will ALWAYS block your growth if it doesn’t think...
