“Good things are happening in my life.”  This is a new thought I’m trying to create a groove in my brain with.  There’s this whole concept about how we create our experience with our thoughts.  This may be true, but I’ve always had some anxiety around...

Uncertainty can make us feel like the ground beneath us is crumbling.  For me, my entire body tenses up and my digestive system usually starts to act up too.  The resistance comes on like gangbusters and I find myself spiraling in frantic circles trying to figure out...

Bravery comes in many forms and conjures a lot of different images. The bravery I am referring to comes in the form of showing up as our messy, beautiful, authentic, imperfect selves. It comes in the form of letting ourselves off the hook and pushing ourselves out of...

I used to think there was this magical age I would reach when I had it all figured out.  When I was twenty, that age was thirty and then when I was thirty, the age became forty.  Now that I’m 46, I’ve kind of given up on the notion that I will ever figure it...
