Recently I’ve been writing a lot about The Tower card. That’s because a few weeks ago I was consecutively pulling that card over and over again. I knew in my bones that things would fall apart once more. I thought today I would do a journal style entry of the real time process of…
Read moreThe Wheel of Fortune
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….
Read moreWhy Self Improvement Isn’t
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…
Read moreHow I Deal With My Own Programming
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…
Read moreTantrums and Honest Communication
I love watching a good tantrum. The younger the child, the more authentic (we tend to start to use our tantrums to manipulate our parents as we get older). There is something so pure about not yet knowing that you don’t have permission from society to fully express yourself, in the moment. Am…
Read moreThe Subtle Art of Manipulation
How do you like to manipulate people? Today I thought I’d write about some of my personal favourite ways. If you think I’m joking, I most certainly am not! And if you think that you are “above” the subtle art of manipulation, think again – we all do it. If that ruffled your feathers a…
Read moreThe Myth of The Strong Independent Woman
I used to think I had way more masculine energy than feminine energy. I was the no label, jeans and t-shirt wearing, mountain climbing, adventurous outdoor chick. I was definitely not a girly girl. Even growing up in a pretty liberal, hippy, idealist community where everything goes, I still absorbed these cultural norms we…
Read moreI Have Something to Say About Growth Mindset
I wanted to talk about something I see a lot i the self development world and is often totally misconstrued, and that’s risk taking. More specifically the relationship between risk taking and growth. You’ve heard it many, many, (many), times before. “Life begins outside of your comfort zone” “Great things never came from comfort…
Read moreHealthy Relationships and Boundaries – Agreements
One of the most important things I’ve learned about relationships over the past couple of years is making agreements. We make agreements whether we are conscious of it or not. Most of the time, we are totally oblivious that we are making them at the time and then we often feel victimized and helpless…
Read moreForgotten Pieces of My Spirit
I told her not to come. My best friend and sister really – I had told her not to come. It just wasn’t the right time, vacations, busiest tourist time, and worse, I had only 2 nights available in my own house because it was the busiest 2 weeks of the year and I…
