My clients often get in their own way because they’re worried about how they will make others feel. Here’s the thing: You are not responsible for how others feel, you are only responsible for the energy you bring. Years ago, I was at the Daring Way™ training with some colleagues. One of their partners is […]
I just got off the phone with a client. She was in so much pain. Her 18 year old daughter, a senior in high school, had told her, “You make me feel like I’m never enough!!!” This really works for her daughter, because my client then gets small in their relationship. My client doesn’t want […]
You have dreams. You have desires about how you live this one precious life. You appreciate the amazing things in your life. But …. not everyone has the capacity to: appreciate what’s amazing. allow what’s amazing into their life. live with the amazing in their life. Why??? Because it’s vulnerable. Amazing is not a 24/7 […]
We all love Brené Brown’s message (well, except for a few people like my husband). When she speaks about vulnerability, it sounds amazing. However, to actually live it is another thing. It really kind of sucks. It’s uncomfortable. It’s messy. It takes time. It takes courage. It isn’t easy. And we often do it wrong […]

Think of yourself as a tree. Stay with me now. You are a tree. Solid trunk. Lots of branches and leaves. Now think about your roots. Where are your roots growing? Are they growing in toxic soil? Are they growing in rich + robust soil? Now let’s think about our emotional states as soil. Shame […]

Let’s look at the definition of confidence: the state of feeling certain about the truth of something. a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. the feeling or belief that […]
Start with LOVE. Love leads to more LOVE. It’s not selfish or being self absorbed to love yourself. Loving yourself is to your ability to love others. Love yourself first and then you have the ability to extend that love to others in every encounter. When you love yourself, you are filled with LOVE. When […]
There’s a stirring inside of you. You know it’s a painful feeling. You don’t want to feel it. You’ve tried to numb it, and have run out of tv shows to watch. You’ve tried to outrun it, but that’s hard to do when you’re sheltered at home. You’ve tried to busy yourself, but there’s only […]
