Finding Peace: Holiday Special!! Wishing you ALL a Peaceful Christmas Season (+1 year Anniversary!!)
The holidays are a stressful time of year (for so many reasons), but that's NOT what it's supposed to be about... and it doesn't have to be that way. At all. I'm walking you through how to find JOY at Christmas, New Year, (or any other stressful time) by CHOOSING PEACE.
Yes, it is a choice (or it can be) -- I'm not saying that you're "choosing" to be stressed, I'm saying that with the right permission you CAN choose peace. I'm givi...

One of the worst things a parent can do to a child is cause a rift between the kid and themselves. This person turns into an adult who is out of touch with themselves, their purpos...
This is probably the first step where we really start to deviate, or expand upon, from the current personal development advice. The Personal Power of "Connection" isn't one people talk about often, yet it's taken for granted when they're doling out advice that everyone can do it! This simply isn't true: I've met many, many people who were able to gain Clarity (the first step) but were not able to move forward because they lacked th...
Our parents don't just shape us, they almost imprint themselves upon us!
How this imprint shows up in our lives has a lot to do with what we're made of, but this doesn't detract from how much the shape of THEM determines how we turn out. This season we're diving into the 8 steps you need to turn this around — Read more
I don't know anyone who doesn't have SOMETHING about their parents they cringe at when thinking about becoming just like them. In fact, we're probably pretty lucky if we only have one or two things about our parents we'd loathe to repeat! But the truth is: we repeat almost everything our parents do, earn, experience. Minor changes happen, of course, but what about when you don't want a minor change — Read more

When we decide to make changes, we outgrow many people and situations. Although the change is what we wanted, it still hurts when we have to let go of people we love or situations we've become comfortable in.
We also have to let go of our past selves -- the people we've been and become from the negative experiences that shaped us in our lives. This is all a normal part of the healing process.
This episode talks about how to let you...
People pleasing is very common when we're thrown off balance in childhood. It comes from very specific treatment.
This episode dives deep into why we people please and how to stop putting other people first (so you can heal from what caused you to become a people pleaser to begin with)!
This is an emotional episode.

Fighting with my husband saved his life. Arguing gets a bad wrap, and certainly no one wants to do it, but it can be a crucial element to healthy relating. It’s also natural. So what makes arguments healthy vs unhealthy conflict? And how do we fight fair?
Fighting has to be one of the most confusing arenas we can enter as people. In this episode I breakdown what makes a “fair” or “unfair” fight and how to know it your arguments are...

I spend everyday with my husband and child. AND I'm a free spirited, independent woman. I hear all of the time that "relationships need space" and "I could NEVER spend that much time with my partner/kids". So what gives? Do we actually need space? Is it healthy? Is it unhealthy? When and why? That's what I'm discussing in the second episode of the Science & Spirit of Relationships season!

Can who you're around REALLY do that much good, or bad, in YOUR life? Aren't you the sovereign creator of your OWN world? Don't you have conscious choice?

This one made my knees knock and my voice shake! I'm talking turning heartbreak into LOVE in this very personal episode. There is hope my little grasshoppers--even if you think the perfect relationship is never ever going to happen for you. It can. And, with the right self-work, it WILL.

Meet the partner, create the community, make the friends & contacts you've always wanted to! Is there anything more meaningful to us than relationships? I don't think so! And while we've really got individual rights down (protecting us from the harm people can do us), modern society is really lacking education and support around connection! Nothing makes us happier than healthy relationships. So this entire season is dedicated to t...

Ever wonder why change is so hard? Because your body is programmed by a set of principals essentially locked inside your unconscious. It's easy to drop into the being the real you after you discover what kinds of things can hold you back (and how to address them). This episode talks about stored emotions in the body and how to make that big change you want happen sooner and last a lifetime (getting better and better as you grow).
Ever meet someone who just makes you feel GOOD? Find out what that is and how to harness that power for yourself (to bring good vibes, and what allt he "manifestation" teachers are trying to explain) to YOUR life.
This episode discusses the concept of SOULSET and how tapping into your Energy can create... literally anything you (really) want.

What we call "mental health" has more to do with the heart than the mind. We often totally miss the mark when trying to make ourselves happier by focussing on how we think instead of how we feel.
So what is Emotional Intelligence really?
This episode discusses the dynamics of what makes a heart that FEELS good and the mechanics behind it.

Mindset can be the hardest thing to change! But it can have the biggest impact. It's not that your Mindset is any more important than the other "sets" (Heartset, Soulset, BODiset), it's just that your mind holds the keys to all of the other parts of you... being able to bring awareness, and therefore choice, to all of the other pieces of a happy life. This episode explores the power of Mindset as well as what can go wrong and how w...
