when life knocks you on yer ass


Ever felt like life is just a non-stop onslaught of getting knocked on your ass? I have!

This last year has left me reeling in many ways. My dad was diagnosed with two serious heart conditions that have deeply affected his quality of life and has had me losing sleep.

My partner's also been dealing with multiple family health issues and losses. Then in April, we watched our senior dog slowly fail and spent a week helplessly watching him transition out of this life. It was my first in what felt like being a death doula, and I won't forget what it felt like to watch him go, sing over him, and hold his lifeless body.

I also renegotiated my spousal support (ending it a year in advance of the original schedule) which took some adjusting in my financial life. Oh, AND we took on a huge renovation in my house that left parts of my house in disarray for months.

Needless to say, I've found myself trying to find my footing this last year while life life'd the f*ck out of me. And yet -

What I've felt to my core is the work I've put in with my relationship pay off in the deepest way. A deep sense of groundedness despite it all. A resilience I didn't have before.

When people ask me what I do, I tell them that I lead women into trusting themselves, finding confidence, and cultivating a life that feels authentic by transforming their relationship with themselves.

How do you do that? How do you go from a constant state of reactivity to a confident state of acceptance, grounded energy, and resilience?

There are so many ways I walk women through this. I help them unearth who they are under all the conditioning - figuring out what truly drives them. I give them the tools to find clarity on how their emotions are running them ragged and warping their perception of reality.

I walk them through my exact process of how to rewire their brain from a place of victimhood, fear, lack, and powerlessness to a place of agency, hope, abundance, and authentic empowerment.

It's not about controlling our circumstances, it's about changing how we relate to ourselves through it all.

Is it always fun and easy? Absolutely-fucking-not. But is it doable? It really is, friend.

If you're thinking about how badly you want to start walking in the direction of this change from the inside out, I have three avenues for you.

You can start with the baby step of downloading my workbook, Better Stories which has over 40 pages of details on the process of understanding what mindsets and beliefs have been running the show and keeping you disconnected from your own self-trust and capacity to weather life.

I've also opened enrollment for fall seats in my 1:1 coaching work. That's 12 weeks of intimately with me on a personalized plan to accomplish that exact thing: transformation in your relationship to yourself so you can drop the constant anxiety and have FULL PRESENCE in a life that actually lights you up. Here is Kayla's experience, a recent graduate of three months with me:

Working with you was such a freeing and nurturing experience. It allowed me to feel fully seen, supported and validated every step of the way in areas that felt hard or maybe even silly to communicate or work through in other settings.
I deeply valued having your insights and relational “me too” moments, it made me feel connected and encouraged in all of my efforts forward. You created tangible tools and resources that are now so ingrained into my day to day, such valuable tools for self support that I can return to (and do!) again and again.
I also so appreciated your humor and how down to earth and open you were, it was a nice reciprocal exchange of genuine humanity. I looked forward to our calls, and really appreciated having our voice memos to let me air out in between as I incorporated so many new practices.
Thank you for helping me come home to myself, a little more each week. Your guidance and support were fully worth the time and financial investment.”

The countdown is on for my in-home retreat Saturday September 13th! Stay Awhile, come home to yourself If you haven't heard, I am hosting a retreat in my home this month! And - lucky for you - there's still a few spots and I have extended the early bird pricing through this Saturday, September 6th. Let's talk about it! My life's work has become about learning to navigate my way back to myself so I can show up in the world fully, authentically, and most of all, grounded, so that I can help...

when the change "takes forever" Dreams have always been a huge indicator for me of where I'm at under the surface, and this week I had a dream where I was standing in my childhood family bathroom, gleefully cutting my hair into a bob, explaining to my daughter as I pulled strands taught to my scissors that it was no big deal, it was simply time for the change to happen. Even though I have no real plans to cut my hair, the symbolism felt ripe: I am ready for a deeply internal identity shift,...

Being a "selfish" mom made me better BUT FIRST: scroll to the bottom to register for my FREE teaching workshop this Saturday! You don't wanna miss this. I've been thinking a lot about how ten years ago I had no idea how much I'd feel so right inside of motherhood. I remember being a young(ish) mom. I had two kids by the time I was 28. Before I had kids, I just assumed that I would feel a natural contentedness in that role. And while I did find joy in it, the start of motherhood was...
