In this episode, I explore the idea that everything in our lives can act as a mirror — our relationships, resistance, fears, triggers, and even the objections that come up when something feels aligned for us. I share how resistance can sometimes reveal deeper beliefs and stories we hold about ourselves, and how learning to notice those patterns can open the door to growth and healing. I also talk...

Have you noticed that when you, or others, start to cry… the first thing they do is apologize? Why do we feel that our feelings are something to hide, or apologize for?

The patterns and beliefs below the surface of emotions,...

Some things we explore in this episode: Wounded desires vs aligned desires Intuition vs overthinking Rel...

Our relationships with anything, or anyone (including time, wealth, health, and our future selves) are an extension of our relationship with us. Each is a mirror, and opportunity to look within, and find out what learning and growth is shining back to us. Money is one of the most interesting mirrors, and today’s episode talks more about that.   Realms in our lives, and why its important to look in...

There are 3 personality type systems that have changed my life and parenting, and I want to share them with you!  How I've always been obsessed with everything personality, and have taken every test, but always felt "boxed in" instead of "opened up."  How our greatest work in life is becoming MORE US, and how through that we bless our world (our family, community and the world at large). Human Des...

My top teachings from the Peacemaking event on Saturday:  If you see a change you want externally (another person or situation), the only power you have is within… and that power is significant “be the change you want to see” Force/expectation/control are inversely correlated with influence. Your influence will increase exponentially if you focus on you, and stop trying to change others The work i...

Inner division is when we feel disconnected to our own selves (avoiding, condescending our dismissing our inner experience)  humans as a hierarchy: creating more division within and without  unity comes from inside us first, and manifests outside    The work really is so much more simple than we think… feeling first… and watch your world change. Small and simple things are often the most significa...

Reflect on the concept of obligation after a recent coaching session. To me, obligation feels like a cold, binding, crushing energy that traces back to experiences of powerlessness in my teenage and childhood years. I contrast that with the joyful, expansive energy I feel when I’m living in alignment with who I am—including how I experience my design as a manifesting generator. I share how I’m ref...

I invite you to reflect on your own screen use, notice how much of it is influenced by today’s highly digital culture, and sit with the discomfo...

Explore the idea of rest as the ultimate act of rebellion against constant doing. I talk about how true rest challenges us—it’s uncomfortable, and it often feels unnatural when we’re used to being in motion. I share my own experience in Thailand that reminded me just how hard it can be to truly do nothing—and how powerful that stillness can be for growth and healing. I also invite you to join me a...

Dive into what manifestation really is and why it’s far more about the energy and emotions behind your practices than the tactics themselves.

I also talk about manifesting money fr...
