Life

As I wrap up the final pieces of my book, Living Deeply: A Transformational Journey Through Deep Pain, Loss and Abandonment to Healing, Self-Love and Miracles, I was thinking back to when I first started the writing process. As I set off on the adventure of writing my first book, I was reviewing my notes from a Writing from Your Heart workshop that I had taken years earlier with my favorite writing teacher, Nancy Aronie. As we began to dive into the workshop, I found the wise advice she had given us: Don’t edit yourself off the page before you’re even […]

Abundance

Happy Holidays! It’s been awhile since we connected, and I wanted to share what I’ve been up to and my greatest lesson for 2018. To be completely transparent, this year has not been an easy one for me, and the reality of this year and what I had been creating hit me a few months ago. I started to receive downloads that my choices weren’t rooted in the alignment that I was seeking and that if I was really going to create the life I had envisioned for myself, I was going to have to start to do things differently. What […]

Consciousness

The other day I was reminded of my journey breaking into Outside Medical Sales. I had been in Corporate Travel for several years, and I had found a job doing inside sales selling a wound-closure device. In just a short time in this brand-new department, my colleague and I had some great successes, especially given the fact that it was a brand-new department and we were selling a product over the phone that was typically sold in person. Unfortunately, though, as I’ve seen multiple times in my career, management didn’t give the department the time that it needed to solidify, […]

Consciousness

I know it’s likely been quite some time since we connected, and I want to share what I’ve been up to since I last shared. In addition to working on completing my first book, Living Deeply (super excited!), I’ve been leaning into the most recent energies that have been coming through. These energies are calling us to let go of anything that’s no longer serving us to step into the biggest versions of ourselves. Have you been feeling it too? For me, this has meant just being with what is. If I’ve felt like crying, I’ve cried. If I needed an hour […]

With the celebrating of Father’s Day, this past week was an emotional one for me. It started with getting a card for my dad. As I stood in the Walgreens picking out a card (which, by the way, had me laughing at the lack of realness found in cards nowadays), it hit me. For the first time ever, all I felt towards my dad was love. No anger. No hurt. No resentment. Just love. As this feeling rushed through me, I felt my heart swell and tears flooding my eyes. Holy crap. This was a big one. For as long as […]

It wasn’t even six years ago now. While I had a successful career, the thing that I wanted most – a relationship – seemed completely out of reach and like it was never going to happen. And, truth be told, no matter how successful I was in my career, I felt unhappy, and really, powerless, to change this piece of my reality. No matter what I did, and what I tried, I felt like I was on the hamster wheel of life and it was always going to be this way. That is, until I found a new way to […]

The fall has been a super busy time, but I’d wanted to share with you a video I did on how our childhood patterns create our present-day reality. You may not realize it, but many times, your five year old self is ruling your present day! Check out the below video to find out how and get a better understanding of what you can do to begin to shift this!

Energy Clearing

This past month brought me to my knees. With everything from a car accident to getting audited and many things in between, life was making me its bitch. 🙂 In all seriousness, though, I was really struggling, and I found myself at times, shaking and scared to leave my house. And, I think it’s in the times when we’re going through hard times when it can be most noticeable how alone we are, especially if you’re single. As part of this rough time, it hit me hard that I felt ashamed to be single. Having done the hard work to […]

I’ve been seeing a lot of clients lately that all have a version of the same pattern in common; in some way or another, they’ve each left themselves. This pattern is super common and most of us aren’t conscious we’re even doing this. So, first of all, let me say, I understand. I, too, have struggled with this, and am making the journey back to myself. There are times when it’s easier than others, and other times, like as I write this, where I find myself struggling with something that might appear small, but is really big when we look […]

When I was younger, I used to hate getting triggered. To be clear, I don’t even know if I realized I was being triggered, but whatever it was, I know it was quite painful, and I wanted it to be over as quickly as possible. Many times what this resulted in was trying to find a bandaid to make it go away. Like many of us, I had a pattern of looking outside of myself for love and positive feedback, so I remember constantly reaching out to friends and family to feel better during these difficult moments. One of the […]
