What do you think when you hear the term mindfulness? I know for a long time, I connected it to meditation that had to take an hour and be done in just the right way. That also meant I couldn’t ever get to it. It was something I aspired to, but never seemed to get around to.  I can’t be the only one, right?  What if mindfulness is meant to be part of our day to day? Not something else on the to-do...

Our minds have a default playlist. The same worries, the same doubts, the same mental reruns and thoughts are looping in the background whether we realize it or not. Neuroscientists call this the default mode network: the brain's idle state, which often defaults to rumination, worst-case scenarios, and unresolved emotional business. Hope is what interrupts the loop. When you feel genuine hope, you...

Have you ever been driving home or walk into the kitchen and glance at the clock, and it says 11:11. You grab your coffee, the receipt says $3.33. Your parking spot? 444. This is episode 333 which is what got me thinking about this. When I see these sequences it feels like the universe is winking at me. I watched a few videos about this and what I learned is kind of interesting.  Essentially our b...

Today I want to share a story about listening to your intuition. We all have it, but most of us have been told not to pay attention to it. Except sometimes we do. I’m sure you’ve had an experience where you made a decision to do something, or not do something and it ended up serving you well, but you really don’t have a logical reason for the “knowing”.  A friend of mine who has children says she...

We’ve all heard that our thoughts matter. There are lots of idioms like “what you think about you bring about”, “thoughts become things” and a quote from Buddha that goes like this: "What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create." — Buddha So you likely know that your thoughts are part of what determines what you life will be like. This was a hard concept for...

Hello, beautiful human. I want to give you permission for something today. Permission to feel joy. I know that sounds almost too simple. But I've noticed that so many of us have this quiet, guilty feeling when things are going well. Like we should hold back, not celebrate too much, not let ourselves get too happy because surely something will go wrong. That's called "foreboding joy," and researche...

Good morning or good afternoon, or good whatever-time-it-is-when-you-need-a-little-lift. Hope, real hope, not the passive, fingers crossed kind, but the kind that keeps us moving forward is a practice.  Here's what I've come to understand: hope is not a feeling that shows up when things are good. Hope is a choice you make, especially when things are hard. It's a muscle. And like any muscle, it get...

This is for the today version of you and me too.  Not future you or future me. Not the version of you that has it all figured out, hits every goal, and never forgets to reply to emails. This is for right now you. Exactly as you are, in whatever state you've arrived in today. Let’s chat about self-compassion, which, fair warning, is the thing that sounds like a luxury but is actually a survival ski...

Today I want to make a case for something that might seem small but I think is actually one of the most powerful things we can do. And it’s something we get to choose and decide, and it’s we can do anytime anywhere.  Acts of Kindness. I know we’ve all been told, since we were toddlers playing with our siblings or friends, to be kind. It's on coffee mugs and bumper stickers and the walls of element...
