This week I share that my inner critic has been out in full force with her nasty twin anxiety.  The two always show up together for me and I don't think it's a coincidence.  I just wanted to share in case you have been in a similar place or can relate!  My only solace has been the idea that everything is temporary.  This too shall pass.  I feel this way now, but it cannot...

Hi all, This past week there seemed to be a theme throughout all of my reading, conversations, and podcast teachings.  I have been uncertain for a while what exactly I believe when it comes to GOD, the universe, mother earth etc.  In this episode I share a bit about my upbringing in a very conservative "reformed Baptist" faith that was very legalistic. I know that some of my bias and ske...

This week I just wanted to hop on and share a little about how mindfulness and changing my perspective made a huge difference in a fairly typical experience. We often come into situations with preconceived ideas and expectations about how things will happen. But what if we look for the magic, woo woo, and spiritually that could be awaiting? Changing perspective and being open to experience healing...

Hello!  This week I let you in on one of my secrets to finding a little time to incorporate mindful rest into my daily routine!  It's often hard to keep up with all the things in our life, and it can feel like a chore to add moments of rest.  I don't know about you, but when I find a little moment to sit and rest there is a to-do list a mile long yelling at me and it keeps me from f...

Hi all, This week I talk about how I start to self edit my feelings because they might not be the same as someone else's.  Or maybe someone else in the world is going through suffering so I shouldn't let myself experience hope, excitement, or joy.  I talk about my struggle in real time to allow myself to observe an emotion that comes up instead of judging it and evaluating weather I "sho...

In this episode I share some insight I learned from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits.  He has a famous quote from his book that says "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.".  The conversation he had with Brene Brown on her podcast Unlocking Us, was fascinating and taught me a lot about why some of my goals might be so hard to accomplish. &...
