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...

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.

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...

when taking action is a bad thing Self-abandonment is big in my own life and with my clients, and I'm convinced that sometimes what we think is tackling self-abandonment is sometimes actually doubling down on it. Recently a client was sharing with me about her efforts to stop self-abandoning. She had been trying to deal with relationship frustration by taking action, which always sounds like a good thing to do. In her case, it was initiating more conversations with her partner about things...

When growth causes dysregulation and why it's a good thing:But first: Welcome! This is my new coaching... letter. (I've decided I'm against the word newsletter, lol. This ain't news. It's a letter from me to you.) let's talk about when you need to let yourself to feel difficult things without deciding it means you're failing. Sometimes I get caught in this trap of thinking that any uncomfortable energy inside of me means that I am failing (at healing? at "doing the work"? whatever it might...

It's finally arriiiiiiiiived! My coaching newsletter for women looking to explore, express, and expand. If you are someone who struggles with feeling like your life is controlled by fear, people-pleasing, overthinking, or oppressive, self-sabotaging and self-deprecating conditioning from old-school religion; if you are longing to step into a life that is defined by more confidence, more courage to not only SAY what you want but GO AFTER IT AND GET IT, this is the place for you. I'm someone...
