Pause for a moment and just look at this expanse of land. Look at the center and all four corners, then imagine yourself standing in the exact spot where this picture was taken. Take a few deep breaths.

How do you feel now vs. before you took a few minutes to pause and see this beautiful expansive landscape?

Where in your life can you pause and create some space, either literally or figuratively, to just breathe and witness some of nature’s beauty?

This practice is an awesome tool to create calm in your nervous system, to help ground you and set you up to gain some clarity on what you need in the present moment.

Try it and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear!

We humans are made up of so many different parts.

We humans are made up of so many different parts. We have a mind, body, spirit, soul and generations of dna passed down.

Integrating and accepting all of your parts is essential to leading a joyful life.

It’s not always easy, especially when it comes to your shadow side. It can take time, practice, guidance and support to understand and accept the parts of you that aren’t as society would dictate.

Society’s structures are out of date and don’t work for most people. But, you can learn about your deeper self and decide what works and what doesn’t work for YOU.

Like this picture, there is a divide in everyone and it’s beautiful on each side as well as the whole, especially when it’s integrated.

If you want more confidence and joy, integration is essential. If you’d like support in understanding the gifts of those parts you’re uncomfortable with so you can have more self acceptance and joy in your life, schedule a free discovery session at the link in my bio.

Look closely. Can you see the two trees growing out of the rock plateau?

Any time you feel lost or stuck, think about these trees.

How they’ve literally grown and bloomed out of cracks in the rock with little to no soil to nurture them.

You can use this as a reminder that even in your darkest times, (where everything has fallen apart and feels broken) something new and beautiful can grow. It has withstood the severe conditions surrounding it and is thriving nonetheless AND so can YOU! You’ve got this!!!

🌵Another lovely life metaphor in this photograph. What do you see?

🌵I see a heart which symbolizes love. I also see the prickly cactus spikes. What I love about this picture is that they can coexist. Just like they do in life. You can be a loving human and also feel prickly at times.

🌵Where in your life are you feeling a little prickly?

🌵Know it’s okay and even important to acknowledge the prickly parts. It does NOT mean you’re bad, wrong or anything LESS than a good person.

🌵We’re all going to feel prickly sometimes. Allow it and show yourself some grace.

Such a life metaphor in this beautiful picture I created yesterday.

It’s sunny, it’s cloudy, it’s raining, it’s clear, it’s light and shadows.

Life is full of opposites.

Embracing ALL of what’s there and finding beauty wherever you can, can help you navigate through the highs and the lows.

I hope you’re having a beautiful week my friends.

It’s all about the light and shadows. All individuals have both. That’s just the way it is. It’s about creating balance. Where in your life can you bring in more light?

Good Morning sunshine! 🌻☀️ Hello everyone.

Good Morning sunshine! 🌻☀️

Hello everyone. 👋🏼

Happy new week! As you begin this week, you can set an intention for how you’d like it to go.

Ask yourself, (no matter what is happening in your world) How do I want to feel this week?

Close your eyes and imagine how you want to feel.

Take a few deep breaths and visualize yourself wherever you want to be.

Notice with your senses, what you see, hear, smell and if anyone or even a dearly loved fur baby is with you.

How are you feeling? Calm? Excited? Joyful? Loved? Peaceful? Playful?

You get to decide and name it! The more you do this, the more likely you are to create the reality. There’s actual science to back this.

If you’d like some guidance around this process, feel free to schedule a complimentary discovery call. Link in bio.

A Sunday sprinkling of beauty and warmth for everyone. I hope you all can get outside and breathe in some fresh air or listen to the sounds of Mother Nature.

Looking out upon the lovely patterns created in th

Looking out upon the lovely patterns created in these beautiful gardens at the French Palace of Versailles, I am reminded of how we humans create patterns of behavior.

Many of them are lovely and serve us well.

Others, may once have served us but no longer do.

It’s okay to change old behavior patterns that don’t work anymore.

Keep an eye out for them and when you notice one, thank it for serving you well when it was useful and bid it goodbye!

Happy long weekend to those of you in the U.S. ✌🏼🇺🇸

Our path in life is rarely straight ahead. There a

Our path in life is rarely straight ahead. There are curves, twists and turns along the way. One can not always see what’s up ahead after the next turn.

The key here is to trust your intuition to guide you while also embracing the curves along the way. You have the answers inside you. I promise, you know deep in your core.

It’s likely just buried beneath years of old cultural conditioning that no longer works in this day and age. It’s those generational teachings that we never chose or wanted for ourselves. It’s not your fault for following the “rules.” We’ve all done it at some point. Trying to be the good person and not make waves.

However, THIS is the exact reason why so many of you have anxiety, depression and/or physical health issues in your lives. You have been going along with generations of “shoulds” rather than following your own guidance and making yourself happy. This is different than being selfish.

If this feels like you, schedule a free discovery call. I’m happy to meet with you and talk about how you can live your life differently.

I have made the changes myself and guided so many others like you who felt stuck, frustrated and knew there was a better way, but didn’t quite know how to begin. You can do this! I’m happy to guide you through this process. Link in bio.

Surprise in the desert! I love surprises and especially this kind! This was taken in March on my visit to Arizona to spend time with my bestie! What have you done recently that was a pleasant surprise or delighted your soul? I’d love to hear!

Starting out the week with our feet firmly planted

Starting out the week with our feet firmly planted on the ground beneath us sets the tone for more calm in our nervous system when those curve balls come our way.

You don’t have to have a whole beach to ground yourself. You can simply take a few quiet minutes alone.

👉🏼 Close your eyes in a seated position with your feet touching the ground beneath you.

👉🏼 Take three slow, deep breaths.

👉🏼 State your intention for the upcoming week.

👉🏼 An example would be, “I look forward to having a good week where I feel love, joy and peace with my decisions. I know I will handle any curveballs that come my way and check in with my body, mind and spirit to be sure I’m in alignment with my needs.”

👉🏼 You can do this! I believe in you!

👉🏼 Please feel free to reach out if you’d like some support on doing this type of thing and more to create ease, joy and alignment in your life. Working with a life coach can be the kind of support you’ve never had but really needed and it’s truly transformative. Link in bio.

“When you take a flower in your hand and really

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
~ Georgia O’Keeffe

Creativity is part of our birthright. Everyone has some creative aspects to their personality, even if they don’t realize it. Allowing that part of you, the space to emerge is a gift to yourself!

Can you almost feel the warmth of the sun when you look at this picture?

If you close your eyes and just imagine standing right there on the sand, (even for a minute or two) imagine the sounds that you’re hearing, feeling the warmth of the Sun on your face, it can actually help to create calm in your nervous system. This is called resourcing. I’d love to know if you tried it, how it worked for you!

Trauma varies so much for different people. It is

Trauma varies so much for different people. It is 100% unique to each individual.

It tends to occur during childhood, (not always though) and doesn’t necessarily mean you had bad parents or caregivers.

It could be caused by anything, from being bullied at school or in your play group, feeling shy and afraid to ask for what you wanted or needed help with, being touched inappropriately by a family member or friend, getting beat up, being shamed in front of others, or in my case a sexual assault by a serial rapist.

ALL are valid. ALL have lasting affects on our mind, body and spirit.

Working with a licensed therapist and learning the affects on you is so important. Continuing your healing journey gently at a pace you’re comfortable with is also important. Once you’ve done some of the work on healing, having the additional support of a life coach can be a deeper level of felt safety and healing.

I’m proud to support those who’ve been through it, done therapy and want a little “more” to create a deeper connection to yourself, having your own back and feeling more joy and peace in your everyday life.

Schedule a free discovery session if you’d like more info.

Some of you already know, I tested positive for Covid yesterday. It’s definitely not fun. The symptoms are worse than any cold or flu I’ve had and it’s technically only day three. I’m resting a lot in between fluids, pain relievers and some food, although I don’t have an appetite.
🤒😷🥴
So glad I’m vaccinated and boosted because I would hate to have symptoms worse than what’s already here. Feels like an elephant sat on my chest.

Take care of yourselves and catch things early when your symptoms start. Back to sleep now, this just wore me out.

When food is art.
Eat dessert first.
In other words, enjoy life!
Do the things that make you happy! Stay healthy.
Live longer.

Yes, please!
And btw ~ it tasted even better than it looked, if that’s possible!
