Last week I talked about how our intuition is an important guiding tool for us as women. Without it we are a bit handicapped honestly. Like my keys, wallet and phone, I don't leave the house without it. Ha ha. But intuition, fear-based thoughts and general mind-chatter can be confused with each other. Without a heightened sense of awareness we don't always know whether this guidance is for our ... Read the Post

When Guilt Destroys Your Inner Peace
I often joke with my girlfriends and clients that for us, guilt is like the Starbucks coffee store: right around the corner. But there are physical, emotional and spiritual health risks of feeling guilty about everything and letting it control our lives. Knots in the stomach, fatigue, fogginess, migraines, a weakened immune system and flare ups of UTIs, colds and other immunity related ... Read the Post
Sorry, Not Sorry
I'm Sorry. How often do you use these words? Research says if you're a woman you're way more likely to use them than men. Words are powerful. Frank Outlaw famously said: Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. These two ... Read the Post

Letting Go Before Letting In
Spring is here! New life, new beginnings, OODLES of energy! It seems like mama nature gives us a chance every year to wipe the slate clean (as women though, we get that opportunity WAY more often through our menstrual cycle *wink* *wink*) and dive into life with new fervor and intensity. But. Sometimes spring DOESN'T arrive. Well technically it does (hello March 20th!) but we don't feel it in ... Read the Post

A woman’s journey into her inner mysteries is incomplete till she owns her sexuality.

Yes Photoshop. No Photoshop
Yes Photoshop H&M posters sporting skinny, flawless women in bikinis got a 'touch up' recently when good samaritan Daniel Soares, a German photographer pasted photoshop toolbars on said posters. Brilliant way to illustrate that these images don't represent naturally beautifull women but instead the industry's ideal of them. Image source: Daniel Soares Thank you Daniel for drawing ...

Weight! What’s Love Got to do With it?
Weight loss is a complex, subjective issue. It involves proper nutrition and exercise; balanced hormones, adequate sleep, pleasure, playfulness and a whole lot more based on each individual’s body, lifestyle and preferences. At the root of all avoidable weight gain, however, is one commonality: toxicity. Toxins in the body, if allowed to float around freely, would kill us in an instant. So ... Read the Post

How About a New Year Evolution in 2014?
It was January of 2009. I had big plans for the year. I was going to meditate more regularly, exercise more frequently, travel places, spend time with my boyfriend and family and lose the belly fat. By March, not only had I not achieved any of these things, I was beginning to feel like a ginormous loser. I learned later that I wasn't alone in my inability to work through my resolutions. 88% of ... Read the Post
