Sometimes it’s the smallest moves that can create the most profound shifts. But how do we know what we truly need or where to start? If you’d like some insight and strategy on how to develop practices that really work for you, to get you to where you want to go without the one-size-fits-all approach that can dilute the sense of resonance you’re really looking for, join my FREE LIVE CALL, Tuesday March 24 at 10amPST/1pmEST. We are in an insanely outcome oriented culture. Give me the short-cut, the formula, the pill and the three step blue-print to perfection and

Doing Your Work: Your Life. Your Calling. Our World.
True or False: The following career advice is awesome… Studies show that people with a university education make more money. Therefore, get yourself a formal education, even if you can’t afford it, preferably from a prestigious university. Your degree will ensure that you gain employment and have all the skills you need if you want to bust out on your own. When you go for that job, find one where the roles and expectations are clear. Follow the rules and you’ll have security and move up and make more and more money. Try to go for something that you enjoy, but
The World You Want With The Money You Have. On Voting With Your Dollars.
Have you ever gone shopping and gotten a little carried away like you’re on some weird high and spent a little more than you intended to and then afterward crashed and felt gross? Whether it’s buying up the sales rack you stood in line for or loading up on holiday gifts for loved ones, tumbling into excess is an easy trap. Especially this season. Even when you don’t have the money to do it. Every year, around this time, I attend a jewellery launch party at my friend’s studio and inevitably spend hundreds of dollars on her new line. I
Alleviating Suffering Starts with You
The other night, I was snuggled up with my partner watching FED UP, a documentary about the food industry, sugar addiction, the obesity epidemic and the government’s complicit participation in it all. We had to press pause so I could have one of those snotty nosed sobs. When we were choosing what to watch, I hesitated. I kind of hate watching these documentaries. Love/Hate. They get me all fired up. Before I know it, my mind has started formulating some way to mobilize a collective around making change. It’s rare for me to be able to kick back, watch something
From Inadequacy To Leadership. Personal And Collective Liberation As The Same Path.
I used to be a personal development junkie. I say junkie because I was after a state change and I was out to fix what was wrong with me. One course led to another program which led to another retreat or coach or book in hopes that the next thing would fill me, alter me, make me adequate. Whenever someone would give me a line about accepting myself or not having to be a particular way in order to be whole and complete it was…well, confusing. Tell me this, why would I put myself through so much self improvement shit if
I Love These Women. Heart and Soul for Change
This week I started my new group coaching program and had our first collective call with two groups of awe-inspiring women. I want to tell you all about them. I want to gush and share and pour my heart out about how great it feels to be in the company of women, to engage in real talk, to open up and set our sights on what we most long for and want to create and offer the world. But of course I’m not going to tell you a darn thing, not only would that be totally unethical, it’d puncture the
When Care Can’t Solve Suffering. Enter Self Loathing.
There’s a cruel character, a voice in the dark, stalking around the edges, waiting for the misstep. Call this the inner critic or the drill sergeant or simply the relentless inner dialogue assessing each move. Over the past year, I participated in a women’s practice group called WHIP (women’s house of integral practice.) We gathered for retreat and practiced across countries in our living rooms with the help of the interweb. Daily meditation. Three yoga classes per week, gathering for cloud calls to work intimately on our relationship to our dharmic expression, the deepening of practice and our unfolding and
Open Wide and Say Yes. How to be an Opportunist.
I’m an opportunist. It’s not like I’m looking and searching for opportunities, they kind of come in like a rolling wave and before I know it, I’m sailing toward the shoreline. I’m very, very open to riding the wave. For some, opportunity comes knocking and for others it seems like a constant grind to make something happen. What I’ve noticed is the energetic qualities associated with both of these experiences have to do with openness versus closure, yes versus hesitation. It can be scary to leap. It can feel dangerous to say yes and start moving toward something without all
Being in Control. Illusions, my friends, illusions.
Do you feel in control? What does that even mean? Seems like a big illusion to me, something we chase but can never really tackle to the ground and get footing with. Even when things seem to be ‘under control’ it’s so easy to be blindsided by what life dishes. But we do have control over some things don’t we? My best shot at working with my own need to be in control of things is learning how to be malleable, adapt, relax and surrender. That’s actually what control looks like to me. I’m mulling this over because I’ve recently
How Facebook Sent Me Into An Exasperated Rage. And Why I’m Not Going To Race You.
Facebook totally pissed me off today. I got a notification that suggested I watch other people’s pages. Not an offensive suggestion in and of itself, but the reason for doing it and the priority it implied made me want to slam my laptop closed and be like, ‘I’m out!’ While I’m certainly not new to Facebook, I admit to being a ‘just the basics’ kind of girl when it comes to how I prefer to engage my technology. I did wonder how ‘watching’ a page was different than ‘liking’ a page. Here’s what it said: Track the progress of 5
