Why Does Failure Feel So Devastating?
Something is fractured in our social system. Stay with me, here: I’m not a pessimist, I’m an optimist, but I feel we’ve lost our way as a society. Despite the positive progress happening in the world, if we’re not able to look at where we’re broken, we can’t possibly...
Do You Feel Self-Help Overwhelm?
Head in my hands, I was raw and broken. This wasn’t what I had imagined my life to be. I was alone, packing up my house, quivering with anxiety and overwhelm. Staring at a bookshelf filled with books that had supported me for years, I didn’t know which one to pick up...
How Much Of Our Lives Are Lived Through Our Egos?

The Dark Side Of Spirituality
In 2005 I travelled to Nepal with a friend who was a Doctor of Acupuncture. She had had her own practice for almost two decades and had a rich body of knowledge. She wanted to travel to Katmandu to stay with a friend there, a Buddhist monk. She was going to practice...
