For this  interview, I am talking with Michelle Piller of Mystic Maps, Astrology for a New Earth. I was introduced to Michelle by a mutual friend, Stacia of episode #46.

I was in awe of the astrological coaching sessions that we had from t...

Like us all, she has her own story of overcomin...

I started outlining this message thinking that I was going to deep dive into my lessons learned in 2023, but over the last few weeks as I've been processing what those were, I am catching myself in fascination of the many ways that I could spin my own story about how last year went: Was I the overzealous entrepreneur who burned out mid-year? NO. Was I the martyred mother who no longer had tim...

For this  interview, I am talking with Stacia, Founder + Director of Compass Rose in Spokane Valley. I was drawn to Compass Rose via Google (but truly synchronicity) to take advanced Reiki, + yet since meeting Stacia my world, Universe, has been cracked open to various forms of energy healing including Magnified + Angelic Reiki, archetypal cards to understand my sacred contract, + so much more. Ul...

I was thinking about the first step of coaching, which I like to consider judgement-free observation. I like to have clients take some time to observe how they are living now: * How are you spending your time? * Who are you spending it with? * How are you nourishing your body, mind, soul, + spirit?  * How are you feeling throughout the day?  * How are you energetically showing up?  It’s very easy...

In this dance of life, by midlife, you know what works + doesn’t work for you on some level, even without doing the deep dives. Truly, think about this. Can you think of one habit or thought pattern or type of relationship or food or exercise that doesn’t fit with you or the life you desire to be living?  Right? These are your immediate non-negotiables.  And reversely, can you think of one habit o...

Life Chapters...What are they? Yes, the chapters of your life that your kids, grandkids, + future authors will piece together in the biography of YOU!

The senses -- touch, sight, smell, taste, + sound -- are the gateway to feeling into your physical + emotional bodies. And feeling into those bodies takes commitment, learning + time. This Western world doesn't teach us to feel into our bodies or feel anything other than fine, good, productive, happy, sad, or anxious; yet feeling abundantly, understanding how you are feeling, how you want to...

What words, thoughts, + feelings do you allow to fill your conscious + come out of your mouth about your life? When someone asks you how your day is, or how you are doing…what does your mind pull you into? The negative? We are definitely in a pandemic of hurry + anxiety…why? Have we stopped doing things that light us up? Or are we trying to do so many things that even the ones that light us up fee...

Change is life. Life is change. Seriously, no one minute is the same as the last! We create the illusion of sameness through routines, schedules, habits, stereotypes, traditions, to keep ourselves comfortable. Our brain loves to organize + predict how things will play out, but the point of life is to grow, learn, evolve, experience, + adventure in + out of our life chapters + on our journey to ali...

Life can feel heavy, mundane, like a grind, sometimes, right? And personal development can feel like the last thing that you want to do, when you've gotten through everything else on your to-do list. Yet, I truly believe that taking time to celebrate, live from abundance, + choose to see the positive as often as possible, will change your life. Per the law of attraction, you will start magnet...
