Hurt
Recently I received an emotional blow, unexpected and surprising. For a few days (weeks) I was challenged to move through without the emotional bombardment of deep sadness and self ridicule. I opened myself up to someone in a way I haven’t in a long time, and in the...
Dear Insecurity
In her song, Dear Insecurity, Brandi Carlile sings “Dear insecurity, ah we meet again, don’t try to fight with me, you’re not really my friend, you take up half this bed, living rent free in my head, ah insecurity.” There is research that shows how resiliency is a...
When pain makes you kinder
‘The version of yourself that you had to be in order to survive through something difficult, is not the version you can now be to move forward’. Healing is a complex process of time, acceptance, releasing, forgiveness (most often of ourselves), tending to your needs,...
It’s OK to choose yourself over anxious people
Imagine this: you’re at a work meeting and someone spills their coffee. What happens? Typically a number of people jump into action and start frantically helping. The desire to act when something uncomfortable happens is enticing. Many of us crave having a role and...
Use discomfort to access Flow State
Recently I was listening to a podcast on which the host is known for being a bit ‘radical’ in her thinking. She pushes boundaries and questions things that most of us have accepted as normal and the way the world works — which is concerning in itself. I like her and I...

Drama – avoid it, or go towards it?
When I was a teenager, maybe 14 years old, one of my sisters and I were having a heated argument – my solution was to throw a brush at her, which resulted in her tooth going through her lip. I think I tried to convince her not to tell my mom, but in truth I have no...
Disconnection or connection, what are we creating?
You know what question drives me crazy? When someone asks my daughter if she has a crush or a boyfriend. Or when people comment, to her, on her body, as if she has a say in how her body looks. This is the kind of inappropriate question adults ask kids, specifically...
Superficiality is impacting our reality.
“Imagine a world where the next generation grows up to see images of bodies that fold and dimple. Skin has texture and bumps. So that none of this seems like a big deal to them. So that we don’t even have to explain why our bodies are good, even if they’re not...
