Hello friends,

I woke up from a nap today with an interesting topic on my mind. It is one that might challenge us, stir emotional charge, or disrupt some of the narratives we hold. And that is often precisely where transformation likes to hide.

This exploration began with a question from someone in our community. They asked why they continue to attract narcissistic partners into their life.

Before diving deeper, I want to honor how vulnerable this topic is. When we look into patterns of relationshi…

Evening, afternoon, morning, depending on where you are in the world.

We are stepping into a conversation I have wanted to bring forward for a long time, and we are doing it brick by brick.

Communication.

Not communication in the polished, performative, external sense. Not communication as a technique to get people to like you, agree with you, or soften conflict. Not communication as a list of rules.

Today, we begin with the most foundational brick. The brick that every other piece rests upon.

The la…

Illuminate: A Return to Inner Mastery

Hello my friends,

Each year, I revisit Illuminate with new eyes. What began as a holistic coach training program has grown into something that defies simple definition. It has become a living, breathing exploration of how we meet ourselves, others, and life itself.

Illuminate is for coaches, yes, but it is also for humans. Humans who are ready to move through life with more grace, ease, and resilience. Humans who are tired of repeating the same inner stories an…

A deeper look into what the body is trying to say

Hello friends,

Today I want to speak to the connection between the thyroid and the liver, not simply as two isolated organs, but as living expressions of how you meet your life.

We often think about physiology as compartmentalized. The thyroid over here. The liver over there. The gut somewhere below. The brain somewhere above. Yet when you spend enough time studying human biology and enough time studying human behavior, something becomes obvious.

The…

Hello friends,

Over the years, through my own life, through teaching, and through walking beside many clients, I’ve noticed something both simple and confronting:

No one is responsible for our emotions but us.

No one outside of us is responsible for our emotions, our joy, our sadness, or our pain. And yet, so many of us were taught the opposite. From a young age, we absorbed the idea that others cause how we feel. That if someone’s actions change, or their tone softens, or their attention turns tow…

Hello my friends, welcome back.

Today I want to explore something we rarely talk about, the dark side of meditation.
We often hear meditation described in terms of light, peace, calm, and presence. And while all of that can be true, what if everything that holds light also carries a shadow? What if even something as sacred and transformative as meditation can hide within it a subtle form of denial, arrogance, or avoidance?

I’ve been meditating since my mid-twenties, and over the years I’ve witnesse…

When we look at the literal idea of trigger points in the body, some of us do not actually feel pain. We are not aware of it. Many of us, myself included, have become numbed out to it. I do not typically wake up with a sense of pain or tension anywhere in my body. That has been true for at least the last fifteen years.

Yet when I take a foam roller to my body, I find areas that are holding tension, places where energy is blocked, where nourishment and oxygen are lacking. The cells there cannot pr…

There’s a quiet power in the language of reparenting, the language of healing, and the journey of becoming your own guru.

For me, this means slowly learning to trust what arises within, your instincts, your gut, your inner knowing. It also means noticing when and how you give that power away.

We often hand our authority to people, places, or things that we’ve unconsciously placed on pedestals. When we elevate others to unreachable heights, we keep ourselves small. The paradox is that as long as we…

When you try to help yourself, sometimes you wonder: is it worth it?

A friend recently shared that she got divorced, and now she questions if it was worth it, her divorce was born our of her awakening to living a life that was not in alignment with who she had become. Her words carried something deeper.

Her struggle, “was it worth it?” is a real one. Every choice comes with both benefits and challenges. Staying the same has benefits. Changing has benefits. Each path also has costs. Often, parts of…
