Tania and I met at a conference supporting those touched by adoption- Tania was attending as an Emotional Wellness Coach and as an adoptee herself and I was there to educate my empathy on the subject.  As soon as I saw the kind of healing work Tania does in her coaching, I knew I had to have her on The Ariadne Project!  She shared her journey of "finding perfection in her story," how our values and priorities are develope a...

It was at her own 30th birthday party that Tania looked around her world and realized that none of the people there represented who she actually was.  These people didn't really know her as her whole self because she hadn't really aknowledged her whole self before even to herself.   "Who am I?"  That question lead her on a journey of discovery, learning to be authentic and making the hard breaks with what wasn't...

I was watching my third or fourth documentary on the imfamous crime couple, Bonnie and Clyde with my heart caught in my throat.  I had no idea of the back story that lead to that final shoot out with the police and I had a sudden awareness of how close I had come to going down in flames with my own "Clyde."  While many of us can put ourselves in another person's shoes, as an Empath, I will actually take on another perso...

When I first met Savannah Ganzalez, I was in a pretty emotionally messed up space. I fist walked into her yoga class because I had accumulated enough running injuries that I finally had to look for some other form of exercise.  I had never done yoga before, but I soon realized that yoga could be so much more than a new exercise routine.  Through Savannah's personalized yoga therapy sessions I was being addressed as a mind, body...

In the Summer of 2016  Sonya decided to "just go."  Everything in her life was falling apart and she was despirate to get away from everything.  She had longed for adventure and travel since she was a child but that seemed like the kind of frivelous thing that people did when they weren't busy being responsible in an overbooked, and taxing existence.  In retrospect, she calls this time of her life the Divine Disorder th...

One early July morning, Shaileigh McEwen found herself deep in the wilderness of the California Sierra Nevada Mountains. She didn't have a phone, and she hadn't been able to keep any food worth mentioning down for the last 48 hours and she was starting to see spots.  13 more arduous miles up the side of that mountain stood between Shai and the closest thing she could call to civilization in the last 3 months.  She was sick ...

Stephanie McAliffe worked on Wall Street.  She was anxious, wound up  and isolated.  Her husband was in rehab and she felt the stigma associated living with an alcoholic.  Despite her efforts to break the family patterns, she was now the 4th generation of women who had grown up with and lived with alcoholics. In some ways it is hard for me to believe that this is where my serene and empowered friend, Stephanie came from.  I know he...
