Once Buddha was asked: “What have you gained from meditation?”⠀⠀ He replied: “Nothing. However let me tell you what I lost : anger, anxiety, depression, insecurity, fear of old, age and death.” I’m not sure if I’ve lost all these but I can say with complete confidence that meditating regularly for 15 years has had a profound impact on my emotional and mental ...

Freeing Yourself From The Trap Called “I’m Busy”
Do you find yourself busy a lot? When people ask how you are, is your natural response to say... “I am busy!” If you do then today I’m going to invite to create a reframe in your mind around this surprisingly disempowering statement. You see, much of our language comes from belief systems that we hold about ourselves and constructs outside of us. When we say we’re busy, the ... Read the Post
A Guide to Courageous Conversations (Brought to You by Jane The Virgin)
One of my all-time favorite shows on TV is Jane the Virgin (it has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s an exceptional work of art in these days of banal scripts and mediocre acting). Currently, a torrid romance is brewing between one of the protagonists Petra, and her lawyer JR. The two share an electric chemistry: they’re both smart, funny, scheming, sophisticated. The sex is ... Read the Post
Take Up Space, Sister
Do you know about these heartbreaking stats: Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them. Men do a whopping 75% of the talking during the average business meeting? Whereas women will mull over and doubt their ideas and might not speak up at all. Why does this happen? Historically, men have been taught and ... Read the Post
Generosity and Mindful Leadership
In his book ‘Give and Take', Adam Grant makes the compelling connection between giving and success. Although it would seem that takers (people who tend to take more and give little or nothing in return) or matchers (people who keep tabs and make sure every ‘give' is reciprocated with a ‘take' and vice versa) would thrive in a competitive world, it is in fact givers who do exceptionally ...

#MeToo Women Will Make Exceptional Leaders. Here’s Why.
I've been thinking about the women of the #MeToo movement. From Larry Nassar to Harvey Weinstein's victims and every woman yet to be heard, I can't help but feel the incredible pain these women had to endure through the years. And yet they showed up to do the work. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I'm all too familiar with the psychological and physiological damage sexual transgressions ... Read the Post
Buried Under Your To-Do List? Join Me For a Productivity Challenge!
Over the last few weeks, I've talked to several women friends who are juggling many roles and their desire for more time: Women struggling to prioritize everything they need to get done without feeling like they're going to drop the ball on the important stuff... Women yearning for extra hours in the day to finish everything on their to-do list. Women, whose husbands are requesting more time with ... Read the Post
When Do You Graduate? Oprah Wants to Know ;)
By now, you've probably heard about or watched Oprah’s rousing speech at the Golden Globes award ceremony. Oprah made a rallying cry for women and girls, men and boys everywhere to prepare for a new era of empowerment, respect and equality. There is a huge shift in human consciousness taking place right now. A shift that's inviting more women to share their gifts and speak their truth. I'm ... Read the Post
Women, Productivity and Distractions
I want to discuss something very important and crucial for women in business and leadership. It's subtle and insidious. And it's a distraction that plagues ONLY women. It can drain our time and energy if we're not aware of it. Check out the video below to find out what it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLUKIbflSe8 In the comments below or in the private FB group, share how this ... Read the Post
Meet the Man on a Mission to Make Women ‘Heavier’
I’m delighted to share a very special interview with Gregor Steinmaurer, systemic and family therapist, group facilitator and creator of IntegralBeing. But here's the real reason for this interview: Gregor's on a (not so) secret mission to make women heavier. Yep, you read that right and if you're as intrigued as I was when I first heard about his mission, you'll definitely want to watch our ... Read the Post
But Still You Rise…
You know who you are. I know it's not easy doing this. I know you question yourself often and there are days when you want to curl up and hide. But still you rise. Because that voice within you tells you your gifts are desperately needed by the world. So you swallow your fear and wipe your tears. You speak up. You show up in your beautiful, messy, imperfectly perfect ... Read the Post
Why ‘Feel Your Fear and Do It Anyway’ is Terrible Advice
The problem with advice like 'feel your fear and do it anyway' is that the emphasis is not on the 'feel it' (passive/feminine) part, but strongly on the 'do it'(active/masculine) part. This is how we become un-balanced and un-whole. If the body is in survival mode and we're intellectually trying to talk ourselves out of it - using affirmations or positive psychology or what have you and ... Read the Post
Getting to the Heart of Leadership
Mystics have known for thousands of years what science is now catching up with. The western world views the heart in a deeply compartmentalized and objective light: physiologically it’s a blood pumping organ and psychologically it’s the home of love, often the romantic kind. The heart and it’s energy are far more nuanced and powerful than that. The heart is the first organ that appears as ... Read the Post
An Inside-Out Approach to Leadership: My Interview Feature in OSHO Times Edizione Italiana
I'm excited to share that I’m featured in the April edition of OSHO Times Edizione Italiana - an Italian publication dedicated to Osho's meditation, mindfulness and the science of the inner. In this interview with the beautiful and wise Marga Jee Bodhi, we talk about the Zen stick moment which opened the door for me to do the work I do now. At this powerful time in the history of ...

Consciousness And Cautiousness Don’t Go Together.
Consciousness and cautiousness don't go together. Caution, fear, suspicion makes the idea of loss bigger than it is. In reality, nothing real or worthwhile can be 'lost' or taken away from us. But we begin living like relentless guardians of 'something important', allowing cautiousness, suspicion, fear to prevail and dominate our psyche. This cautiousness chips away at our vital, creative ... Read the Post
