Ignite Your RADIANCE

Do you find yourself being critical of yourself or others? What if you brought in some curiosity to understand yourself and others? You might discover how amazing you and others are.

"When you're as old as I am, my young friend, now is all you've got" from Ever After movie. Now, or the present moment, is ever all we've got. Too often we dwell in the past or get anxious about the what if. Healing comes fro  returning to the present moment, breathing, and getting curious. This creates more clarity about "what's next?"

Are you living the life of your dreams? If not, why not? "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it"......The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. 

My greatest breakthrough in my healing journey was to ask & receive support. And my deepest vulnerability is to acknowledge I just want to be held a bit tighter as I take my next step into my expansion. 

Our society applauds productivity and exhaustion as some measure of status. Yet, those overworked and overwhelmed individuals typically end up with heart disease, autoimmune, or chronic illness. That doesn't seem to be worth it. What if we practiced more play and rest because we understand our worth comes from within and not the number of these we achieve. I'm a recovering overachiever,...

Ever assemble a Rube Goldberg Machine? It's a series of chain reactions to do a simple task (ie the scene from Back to the Future to feed the dog).  The tricky part of these "machines" is getting everything to line up. Yet once it does, it's easy & fascinating to watch. Our healing is the same. Learning the tools and resources you need can be tricky, yet once you have them...

Feel the Feelings!! We now understand the body keeps the score and will retain emotional energy if the emotion is not fully expressed or processed. It may take several attempts and additional resources, but the effort is well worth it.

Our voice is a reflection of who we are. Through speech, song, writing, or poetry we share our thoughts, fears, and desires.  Our voice be one's more powerful when we understand that our worth comes from within. 

Cultivating intuition comes with a price.......it asks that one let go of certainty. Certainty is pseudo safety, and causes a reaching in our energy. Whereas, intuition guides us to feeling fully loved, cared for, and supported.

"I'll never have what I want because I don't matter." When we struggle through life, we begin to believe that because it didn't go as expected that somehow we are broken. This is how shame and trauma impact who we are.  The practice of gratitude can change our capacity for joy and abundance. The willingness to dream a life of joy can lead you to living that dream. It happe...

We are all given an inner voice. That is the voice of our highest and best self guiding us through challenging situations and towards our greatest life. Isn't time that we listened? 

I had a misconception that once I healed, all my flaws would magically disappear.  What happened instead was my flaws became my greatest gifts. The traits you possess are yours, it's how they are utilized that makes the difference. 

Grief is a tremendously difficult emotion. How can anyone truly understand the pain? Yet, there is hope. The principles of awareness in the body, feel your feelings deeply, then set it free offers a healing balm.

Healing is not necessarily easy or smooth.....yet, it is worth it. Give yourself permission to have those ugly feelings. The difference between staying stuck and healing, is how you navigate those feelings. Move the energy, calm your nervous system, ask for support, and know you're practicing how to be a healthy human. You got this!

Cultivating calm and stillness is a wonderful practice to release anxiety. This practice invites you to return to your body and be one fully present to the current moment. 

How often do you feel anxious throughout the day? Understanding what it feels like and why it happens gives the opportunity to start changing it. Being nervous about a given situation is certainly anticipated. However, remaining in an anxious state can have a debilitating impact. So let's shake it off!

Too often we rely on others to tell us our worth. Developmentally, we really on others as we navigate the world and learn about ourselves. Sadly, we don't always get the secure support we need to recognize our worth, so patterns begin that impact our ability to love ourselves. The truth is, the only opinion that matters is our own. We determine our worth and lovability.

Expressing gratitude is the one secret key to change your life from scarcity to abundance. It's really that simple.

What if?.....how often does that question interrupt your day? That's the brain determining if life is safe and running scenarios to "plan for". Instead it becomes an obstacle of your joyful life. Letting go of fear and scarcity makes room for that joyful life.

The body is a vessel to house your soul. Our responsibility is to care for that vessel.

Do you see yourself clearly? Or are there two very different versions of yourself that are on direct conflict?  Let's change that, know you are whole.

Motion is lotion!  Our bodies are meant to move, breath, and make sound. When we laugh, sing, and dance, we invite our bodies to be expressive and be present in the moment. 

"Just let go" they say......like somehow that's easy, like somehow that will fix everything, like somehow that will change my life in an instant. What does that even mean? Letting go for me was/is a process. It begins with  awareness...as in, hey, my shoulders are super tight. It allows a softening to occur, a breath deep into the belly to be taken, and some simple check in to come...

Lesson from boxing.....meet the problem where it's at, then decide. I learned from my boxing coach that more power comes from "catching" a punch from an opponent than from trying to swat away their incoming arm. This "catch" protects your body, stabilizes position, and gives leverage to decide next move.  That's empowered radiance. 

Welcome to 2026! It is the year of the Horse which invites us towards movement and expression of who we are. Instead resolutions or goals that will quickly fade, what about embracing who you truly are? What would it FEEL like to fully embrace your personality, your joy, gifts, and radiance? How would that show up in your body. In what ways would you change your habits and lifestyle to honor that f...
