How does breath relate to your rhythms? Or to balancing the masculine and feminine energy that reside within you?

Your breath connects the world within you with the world around you, and breath work can be the tool you use to link your own rhythms and the world's rhythm so you live in flow instead of chaos.

Your breath invites a more balanced, mindful way of living. In today's episode I'll uncover t...

Your mind and body are one, not separate as we've been led to believe. And the quality of both your breath and posture mirror the way you show up in this world. 

Imagine if a simple shift in your posture could change the way you're perceived or the way you perceive the world around you, or if intentional breathing could bring focus and calm to your life. In this episode, I unpack the profound idea that the body a...

When your Inner Critic stops by and brings along resentment for the ride, everyone around you, including yourself, might want to run for the hills.

Your inner critic is the opposite of your inner guidance and she or he usually has it out for you, especially when she brings along resentment.  But it's not always a bad thing when she shows up. 

In today's episode, I share about a time when my inner critic...

Feeling stuck is a good indicator that something needs to be released from your life. Yet when it regularly feels like the chaos of running kids, making sure they're fed and bathed while also taking care of the household and your relationship with your spouse (and hopefully even yourself) dictates your life, it may make the thought of letting go of anything seem impossible. 

Which is why it's essential to carve o...

There are 3 things an ADHD mind needs something to be in order to stay focused on it. That thing has to be interesting, important and have a sense of urgency to it. Those rules likely apply to anyone, even if you don't have ADHD, but unfortunately not everything in life meets those criteria, and when it doesn't, you have to have a plan to stay focused.  

In today's episode, you'll learn:

• What a "...

ADHD is seemingly a much more common thing for adults, especially moms, to be diagnosed with.  As mom, we have so much going on in our brains and often it can feel like it's very hard to focus on all of them, even more so if you have ADHD.

• What ADHD is
• How to explore whether you have it or not

Yoga is often called exercise by those wanting to be able to move more freely or those wanting to lengthen their muscles while still building strength without getting bulky, and although those may be by-products of yoga, they do not constitute this ancient spiritual practice being placed in the same context as traditional exercise. 

Today you'll learn:

• What yoga is
• Three themes as to why yoga is more than just exerc...

You've heard me talk about setting intentions as a key step in being able to flow with life, but what does that actually look like and why does it even matter?

It was a New Moon yesterday, and the days surrounding a New Moon are ideal for setting intentions.  Intentions are not so much things you want to add to your to-do list, but rather,  a choice to move consciously towards doing something or creating a particular ...

Blessed can be a sign that you hang on your wall, but isn't really thought of as much more than a decoration for others to see. But what would your life look like if you actually were putting that sign into action?

When you're trying to do all the things and stuck in "doing" mode, it can be real easy to begin to live in a trance of negativity or even blame because life feels so full and heavy.

It's a full moon this week.  Full moons can be a time when comparison starts coming out, because they are also a time when we start making connections and seeing what everyone else is putting out there in the world.  Which is exactly why you need this reminder right now.

The universe's pace is the right pace; we are the ones who create stress in life because of the constraints of time we place on ourselves

Habits and rituals, two seemingly different words, but really tied very closely together, one just holds a little more power than the other.

The word "ritual" can make some people cringe.  It can take your mind all sorts of places, but in this episode I invite you to consider looking at the word slightly differently.

Whether your in the "habits" camp or the "rituals" camp, or possibly...

List-making is essential if you want to feel like you're getting things done in life, but there's one thing that may be missing from your list that can actually make life easier for you.

In this episode I give you a method for list-making that helps you stay focused on what's really essential and necessary so that you can live more in flow with your time, energy and focus even when surprises in life happen.<...

Playing it safe means you aren't finding that edge in life that makes you the best version of yourself. But if adding one more thing to your list to take action on or try harder at seems overwhelming, rest assured, finding your edge doesn't always mean you have to do more.

This episode is a continuation of last week's episode in which I discussed what it means to find your "edge" and how to go abo...

Flowing with your time, energy and focus even when unexpected things come up, doesn't just mean floating through life and letting life happen to you.  On the contrary, it means intentionally becoming aware of those places that make you slightly uncomfortable then learning to adapt to them without going too far.  Also known as finding your edge.

In this episode, I take you through a visualization to help you figure out...

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, yet you can indeed train yourself to make them easy and maybe even effortless.  When approaching a transition, in order to get to the place of effortless action, there are three key things that I've discovered need to be intention placed around them.

Transitions are happening all the time--everyday moments to the larger times in life--job cha...

Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.

This is the first episode in a 2-part series on making transitions effortless. We are constantly being faced with transitions, from the everyday moments like getting the kids out the door in the morning or moving through the highs and lows in your personal cycle, to the larger life experiences l...

Unconditional love means that we treat others, how we would want to be treated, not how we deserve to be treated, but how we would want to be treated. Yet, so often we unconsciously place expectations, limits, or conditions as you might call them on how we love others or how we treat others, including ourselves.


Unconditional love towards yourself means forgiveness.  It means turning towards yourself and offering tend...
