Rising Women Leaders

I am so excited and honored to be sharing this episode with you today with Mahita Gorris. I met Mahita last December in 2017 when I was at Amma's ashram in India ~ one of the places I write about in my book href="http://bit.ly/mr-justbe"> Just Be. Seven years had passed since my first visit at Amma's ashram and I was so excited to go back to one of my favorite spots - the meditation beach. This wa...

A few weeks ago I attended my first Tantra class with Rosalie Amber Grace.  While many of us associate Tantra with sexuality, I've learned it is much more about a way of being in the world. I see tantra as an approach to life ~ embracing all, being fully present, and allowing the material world (including our sexuality) to be a pathway to awakening.  I felt so nourished from the sweet & simple pra...

When I first started my business as an entrepreneur I quickly learned there were A LOT of fears I would encounter. Everything from being seen, presenting and teaching, to looking at my relationship to money, charging from my services, leading a webinar for the first time ~ there was so much that made me want to run away and hide.  If only I had Kate's new book, The Courage Habit , when I started t...

After being on birth control pills for years growing up, Jaime Morocco  was surprised to discover her natural menstrual cycle did not return when she went off of them. After years of focusing on fitness, this brought up a new question,  "What do I need to do to bring my body back into balance?" Jaime discovered that over-exercising and dietary restrictions were at the root of not having her period...

I met MacKenzie sophomore year of high school, and it has been amazing to watch her journey unfold over the years to where she is now. After dedicating her entire life to swimming, on the path to be in the Olympics, life took a surprising turn, and she was asked to surrender those plans. After taking some time to grieve what she thought her life would be, she created a new dream.  Before she knew...

Talking with Lisa was like a deep breath of fresh air. I felt a total permission to slow down, remember my body, my breath and my heart. For all of you who have been moving fast, trying to "do it all", just waiting for that moment to have a sacred pause, you are going to love taking this time to surrender to the feminine in this conversation with Lisa today.  I hope you enjoy the show!  "This qual...

The truth is racism still exists. It exists in our subconscious - as a memory in our bodies from our ancestry. It exists from past traumas of our ancestors still yearning to be healed. It exists in our conditioning, our society and how many of us were raised... Many people have been in denial of its existence, but with Trump taking office, what has seemed to be under the surface for many has only...

When Amanda Johnson and I found each other we saw so many parallels in our journeys - writing and publishing our first books, running a crowdfunding campaign to do so, taking steps to be more visible and share our stories and the journey of remembering we are truly worthy of our dreams…  If you've ever felt inspired to write a book, are ready to release the judgments of your own inner critic, or f...

"The objects we have in our house are incredibly emotionally charged. The things we buy to numb ourselves or fit in, they can make us feel stagnant or obligated and we bring that energy into our home." One of my secret loves is home decoration. Last summer I went through a huge purge after reading the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It brought me such a sense of peace in my home that I actually...

Just days ago this amazing woman, Katie Burke gave birth to her second child. I was lucky to sit down with Katie in early September when she was 32 weeks pregnant to hear about her role as a Priestess, the birth of her first child, and navigating marriage, a business, and family all while being on a personal growth journey of ascension and awakening. Sitting down to talk with Katie felt like reuni...

After three years of making very little money in her business as a psychic, Anastasia got serious about learning business strategy and putting herself out there.  She had an idea: to have conscious conversations with women about their relationship to money. She was genuinely curious about how these women she admired got to where they were.  How did they make it all work?  So she launched her  firs...

In the midst of all the events happening in our world, again and again what I keep coming back to for healing is feeling our feelings.  Letting the grief, the anger, the fear come to the surface  to be loved.  And that's what today's episode on the  Rising Women Leaders  podcast is all about. It wasa joy to sit down with another sensitive soul and kindred spirit  Erin Telford  to speak about heali...

Lately I've been reflecting on what it means to have "enough."  Last month I was lucky to sit down with a founding partner of Abacus Wealth Partners, an investment company that focuses on making the world a better place, Spencer Sherman. I found it really interesting when he shared, "Giving and saving are two ways to tell your body and mind, 'I have enough.'"   Mindfulness and meditation have grea...

I love when I see a woman merge her love of design with spirituality in her business. Today I'd like to introduce you to one of these women, Mari Sierra.  I first met Mari at Erica Jago's yoga retreat in Yosemite. Mari led us through a Five Rhythms  dance practice as well as a workshop to connect to our five senses. At the time, she was newly married and spent much of her time working with start u...

This month I took myself on a trip to Kauai to attend a gathering called Singing Alive.  I decided to attend after being with my grandmother as she was passing in the hospital. I found song to be such a soothing and sacred way to connect with her during that difficult time and I wanted to immerse myself in an environment of song in the weeks after she passed. On one afternoon I experienced a surre...
