This week Raine Dawn Valentine and I delve into the captivating connection between creativity and spirituality.  We discover how these two powerful forces intertwine.

Did you know that color can be used as a powerful tool to aid in physical and emotional healing? When we break down what color really is: a vibrational wavelength of light, we can connect to the science behind this concept. Our bodies process information through intricate pathways of our nervous system, translating it into chemical constructs that trigger various bodily functions. Color is no exce...

Have you ever started to clean the powder room and then 2 hours later you found yourself on a different floor, pictures off the wall, the bed stripped, a hammer in one hand, and a computer in your lap with the Amazon tab open and it's 4 minutes until you have to leave to pick up the kids? Welcome to my Monkey Brain! Or maybe, one of your kids exhibits this behavior? This episode will help you...

If there is something that you want to complete, this episode is for you. It could be a tiny task that you have been putting off. Or a grand plan. You will learn to be less judgemental, and more aligned with whatever action (or inaction) that might be showing up. The self-talk that we engage in impacts our results. AND it can be harmful to our sense of self; triggering feelings of shame or inadequ...

In this episode, I share with you my personal journey of tapping into my own soul-led gifts and vision: the process of becoming “The Design Shaman.” Last year, I began to experience an extraordinary call to connect to nature on a deeper level.  As I did, I began to see parallels between the messages that we learn from our Earth Mother and intuitive practices that I use in helping clients achieve t...

To kick off Season 4 of the In Her Eyes podcast, we begin the journey of self-discovery and the process of tapping into the power of our TRUE SELVES. I have the PERFECT person to bring that conversation to you this week. Ironically, much of our conversation revolves around the beauty of IMPERFECTION, and the lessons that it teaches us about BEAUTY, HARMONY, and the activation of SELF-LOVE. In this...

Stepmothers get a really bad rap. And Disney does no favors to us stepmoms! Emotions are hard to navigate on their own.  But when you introduce the dynamics of the role you play in someone else’s life, you’re sailing through uncharted seas with numerous variables. This week I am sharing with you an extraordinary conversation that I had with a remarkable woman who supports high-achieving women in t...

One of the easiest ways to enrich your overall health and well-being is to incorporate herbs into your daily life. But there is so much information out there, it is hard to know where to begin. And most of us have been raised to be wary of things that grow on their own. In the Western Hemisphere, we have come to see “health” as an ongoing battle. We are constantly trying to fix things that are bro...

If you are looking to expand your journaling practice, feel stuck, or have yet to develop one; this episode is for you. I find journaling to be the greatest gift I give to myself. The ULTIMATE SELF-CARE. Gems of wisdom, symbols, poetry, understanding, clarity, and guidance all appear in the private pages of my musing. There is a reason the Julia Cameron’s brilliant book, The Artist’s Way, relies s...

Meditation has been shown to have cardiovascular and neurological benefits. But it can also expand your own creativity. It seems that I run into a lot of people who say that they can’t meditate. Or they aren’t very good at it. (Their words not mine.) Recently, my step-daughter asked me about starting a meditation practice. It got me thinking about where I started, how my practice has evolved over...

Whether you are trying to achieve a goal, form a healthy habit, create art or build a business that will rock the world you need space. Defining the physical space will allow you to create the mental space. It will also help you evaluate the things that come up on the other side of “trying.” In this episode, I walk you through the steps to finding and defining the physical space. Even if (especial...

On this week's podcast, I share a conversation that I had with the host of the Cheers, Mama podcast, Katie Dragos. We break down the important things you need to know about living life more fully while being eve...

Could our seasonal allergies be exacerbated by our current physical and emotional state? I believe they are. As a kid, I didn’t hear about seasonal allergies very often. In fact, when I announced to my family that I had a “debilitating allergy to dust” to avoid spring cleaning, I thought I was pretty unique.  I wore that badge proudly for years. As I have continued to rid my house of artificial fr...

All month long we are tackling thoughts and ideas that come up in the process of this proverbial season of Spring Cleaning. In this episode, we are taking inventory. But it is an inventory with intention. What’s not working? What isn’t aligned with where you WANT to be? What’s tucked away out of sight? What do you have that you aren’t using? Stepping outside of that route energy of “I should” will...

Dr. Wayne Dyer famously defined the EGO as Edging God Out. I don’t know about you but I remember growing up hearing the phrase “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” more times than I can count. Yet when it comes to cleaning, we often approach it from an ego-centric perspective.  It’s more about the facade of clean.  It's more about what things look like. (Or smell like!) But in reality, “cl...

Each week I offer an essential oil recommendation to align with the topic of the In Her Eyes podcast episode. Most times, I forget to mention it. But you can always find it on the episode webpage . Peppermint is one of the most ubiquitous essential oils.  Because of its chemical properties, it aligns perfectly with the concept of taking action on those things which support your biggest dreams...

Do you know what you really want? Our body is brilliant at giving us the clues we need to discover both what we want and what we need. But society and social conditioning teaches us to override that information.  And we become consumers instead of creators. In this episode, I give you 2 important questions to ask yourself when you are faced with a decision.  They are transformational. &n...

You are LIGHT, my love. A magical array of colors that those around you experience without having to give words. In those moments when you are -most aligned, -most at peace, -most yourself, you shine the brightest. That sunrise that takes your breath away is also you. In this episode, I discuss the energy of the light and color that we project; known as our aura.  And why it is important to u...

In the English language, the word DREAM has a number of meanings, both as a noun and a verb. What if there is a strong correlation between our dreams in our waking hours and our dreams in our sleep? What if there was a process to streamline the communication between our subconscious and conscious minds so as to bring dreams into reality? What if our dreams, both waking and sleeping, are actually c...

I am not a traditional roses and heart-shaped chocolate box kind of gal. They lack creativity and inspiration in my book. And the law of supply and demand makes them ridiculously overpriced. I would rather receive a bouquet of roses on a random day in mid-August. This episode is chock full of ways that you can expand your creativity on the theme of Valentine’s Day. From 60’s style “door curtains”...

Hearts abound this time of year. They are everywhere you look. I don’t know about you but I often find it hard to fully love and appreciate myself exactly where I am, right now. My thoughts quickly drift to self-improvement, home improvement, the what-ifs, and I coulds. Or they float to the past. The things I can pat myself on the back for. The things I wish I had handled differently. The shape I...

Some people are unquestionably “plant people.” Others claim they don’t have a green thumb. There are some powerful reasons that we all need to have more plants in our lives. Even though it has been unseasonably warm here in Pennsylvania, the same “wintry issues” are cropping up.  Dry air.  Dry skin. The winter coughs and colds.  Lethargy.  Depression. Having more plants in your...

Have you ever found something that you had lost years ago when cleaning up an unexpected mess? What if this happens emotionally as well? What happens if you analyze where you are without judgment? Without blame? Without excuses? What if you are exactly where you are supposed to be and the chaos provides the answers to the questions you have been asking the Universe? In this week’s episode, we unpa...

What is intuition? Is there a way to enhance it? Can we go beyond just “listening to our gut?’ My answer is YES WE CAN! Intuition can be such a broad and elusive term. In order to develop it, we must first understand it in all of its forms. It shows up differently for each person. Understanding your primary intuitive strength is the first step to enhancing your intuition. The “clairs” are the sens...
