We tend to think pain is a problem. In our collective belief, pain is a disease we must eradicate, find a cure for. Pain is undoubtedly uncomfortable. Those who live with pain on a chronic and consistent basis will develop an entirely different relationship beyond uncomfortable, often experiencing depression, becoming identified with their pain,…

I’ve pulled the Wheel of Fortune twice this week and so I thought today is a good day to break it down. Fate. Luck. Destiny. When we like the results, this is what we call it. Misfortune. Bad luck. Curse. When we don’t like the results, this is what we call it….

Self Improvement. Or is it? There has been something really getting under my skin about the self improvement, teaching, and coaching industry for a long time – a really long time. There is just something that just felt off – something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Then last year, in early 2021, it…

I want to peel back the curtains and reveal something to you today, dear reader. These are the conversations I have with myself on a daily, hourly, moment to moment basis. I want to pop open the lid so you can see inside. Not because I’ve found some kind of revolutionary way of…

I want to talk about a dream I had last night. It was particularly powerful because it was a perfect example of my own deep healing and evolution in action. In the dream I was in conversation with a man I didn’t know. He was a stranger. And in our conversation and in…

It took me a really long time to be honest about this within myself. I judge people. You see, most of us don’t like to admit that we judge people. We’ve been taught that it makes us fundamentally “bad”, flawed, or even worse “un-evolved” humans, and so we deny deny deny. So what happens when…
