We are not our ego, the voice in our heads. We are the awareness that observes the mind chatter. This understanding is key as we focus on self-reflection and how to incorporate it into our daily lives. Prioritizing alone time to self-reflect minimizes the buildup of chaos and procrastination, leading to judgement and regret. Self–reflection helps keep us grounded and present so we can process the recent past and make peace with it....

Our spirits yearn to be and feel connected to the source. Although we may come from a variety of different religious backgrounds, the commonality is the connection to a higher power, our creator, the source.

When we reflect on our past experiences, do we see them as adventures and lessons learned? Do we truly see the layers and how the trials and tribulations affected us or are we dismissive? The idea of “A Hero’s Journey” allows us to frame past, current and future moments in a new perspective. It gives us the ability to truly extract all meaning and value from our experiences. We are all in a state of constant observation, reflection...

Transitions are a huge and often overlooked aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born we begin to transition. There are very natural transitions and some that are forced upon us. For instance, dissolving a relationship or the death of someone we value. Everything that is alive transitions. Every transition serves its purpose and is a shedding of what was, and the moment before what will be. Approaching transitions with the r...

Awareness is our most powerful tool in connecting with ourselves. How often do we think of awareness and the key role it plays in our lives?

Are you aware of the choices you make and how they affect others? Are you aware of the patterns of your actions and thoughts? Awar...

“I’m so very grateful; I really appreciate you!” Read that slowly again. How does it make you feel? There is a balance between giving and receiving. Some people have trouble with truly receiving and others with giving. Sit in silence while you meditate on giving and receiving.

Our perspective and perception directly affect our thoughts, actions, vision and life. Expanding our minds to see other perspectives is an asset and tool for a life of meaning and value. Opening our hearts allows us the gift of hidden perspectives we might otherwise not notice. They can be the small nuances that speak to us in moments we are fully present.

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself! What do you see when you take that pause to look into your own eyes, standing in front of the mirror? Are you showing up for yourself? Have you prioritized yourself? No one will show up for you like you will. Self-love is actively engaging in your own well-being Mind, Body & Spirit. The ego’s selfishness is not self-love. Self-Love is working within us...

Love, what a powerful word! It has a different meaning to all of us. Our understanding of love has a direct correlation to our lives and experiences. In the podcast we discussed many layers of love.
