Happy Summer Solstice! Yesterday was that powerful planetary moment, in the Northern Hemisphere, when the tilt of our globe brought us closest to the Sun—gifting us with the longest amount of day-light in the entire year. For many, it means the official start to Summer.

My client Jules has a brilliant mind. She also has a dreamy mind. And a mind that loves shiny objects. Lately, we have been working on simplifying her business by building a strong foundation, and fiercely holding off on any of those distracting, trendy, and new opportunities that are great ideas—but for another time.

With so much happening in the world—I am called to invite you for a sacred pause—to gather for connection, grounding, and nourishment. Please join me and other authentic and warm-hearted humans—for an Open Community Coaching Call: Friday, June 2nd at 9am PST / 12pm EST.

Lately I have been having a recurring conversation with coaching clients and colleagues that seems to be in the collective field. It feels important to share it with you in case you are experiencing this phenomenon too. I know I have.

I just got off with a coaching client—we’ll call her Maya. She was having major indecision. Have you been there? I sure have! For Maya, it was the choice of whether to move into a community home in town where she could deepen with friends and tend to a group garden OR stay put in her sweet solo casita on land where it’s quiet and spacious.

Four years ago today I sold Next Generation Yoga, LLC. It was an act of Self love. In 2019, my kid’s yoga business was thriving, and I was at the peak of my career with purpose, impact, and income. I was decades in to building something out of nothing, traveling as a sought-after expert, generating a global brand, and pioneering a movement.

Last weekend in my 5 Rhythms dance class, I was transformed by the joy, connection, and magic made in community. And quite honestly, it was what shifted my mood and experience for the whole damn class. I arrived at the Railyard Performance Center in Santa Fe feeling a bit cranky, tight in my body, and busy in my mind. Perhaps it was all the sugar I ate the night before.

I have been hiding from you just a bit. While yes, for the past 2 ½ years I’ve been visible in that I’ve been consistently writing and authentically sharing my heart, wisdom, and experiences with you … What I have not done—is intentionally invited you to learn about or join me in the sacred work I do with clients.

I pray this finds you and your loved ones healthy, easy, and thriving! With Spring in the Northern Hemisphere air, Pluto in Aquarius, and my birthday around the corner—I am feeling the love. Love for you, love for me, and love for some new and supportive resources. I thought it’d be fun to share a panoply of my current faves—many of which are Self care related.

It’s 5pm on the day before I am flying to visit my parents in Florida—and it’s freaking cold outside. Running errands, I pull up to put gas in my tank … quickly! I’m barely out of my car when a man on a bike slowly approaches, “Excuse me ma’am, my wallet was stolen …”

Not so long ago … I dated unavailable men—where they’d toss out a crumb or two and I’d stay hooked. I experienced a once-best-friend turn into dried-up-dissatisfaction. I had misaligned clients. And, I definitely said yes to “B-minus“ events when I knew I’d rather stay home. Crumbs! All of that—was me settling for crumbs.

With so much happening in the world—I am called to invite you for a sacred pause—to gather for connection, grounding, and nourishment. Please join me and other authentic and warm-hearted humans—for an Open Community Coaching Call: Friday, March 3rd 9am PST, 12pm EST.

Today. Right now. In this very moment. There are people enduring tremendous amounts of hardship. Not just in faraway places like Israel, Syria, Turkey, and Ukraine—but in our own backyards—people are stressed with mental health, physical illness, relationship divide, life-work imbalance, financial insecurity, and job uncertainty.

I am committed to helping humans embody Self love. (So much so, scroll down to the “PS” for my Valentine’s Day gift below.) Of course, because it is wholesome and healing for us—but also, when we live inside a personal culture of unconditional Self love—it inevitably ripples out for good.

Lately I have been noticing the things in my life that drain my energy. Things like … the overdue dental work I’ve been avoiding, the looming clearing conversation I am scared to have with a friend, and how I sometimes check my phone first thing in the morning—even though I know better!

In December of last year, I was at my upper limit with dating. I was feeling unmet, drained, and hopeless. I could tell that my seeking, swiping, and cynicism needed a rest.

It’s 2023, a new year—and I’m coming out! (Insert Diana Ross song) I am coming out as an authentic version of myself. I am coming out with my greatest gifts to share. I am coming out to support you in loving yourself—even more.

2022 included mystery, loss, heart-ache, grief, and anxiety. It also encompassed deep learning, career and personal growth, extraordinary connection, and next-level Self love. Our lives are full spectrum, after all.

Hello and Happy Holidays, dear one! I hope you have been indulging in all the ease, cosiness, warmth, rest, connection, joy, and love that you deserve and desire during this sacred holy time. However, you have been celebrating—I am wishing you a nourishing season and Happy New Year, too!

As we drop in with the holy days, it is wholesome to slow down from busy-ness, to reflect on the past year, to gather with loved ones, and to appreciate all that we have. And while I am doing just that—after watching an inspiring short with Mel Robbins—I am also taking on a new end of the year ritual.

I have spent countless time, energy, and money on dying my hair. Whether it was to have a warm hue to match my skin tone or cover-up those undesirable grays—it has been a long journey of conforming my crown with societal norms. And, I am done!

As the season of holy days is upon us, it is beautiful to acknowledge all we have to be grateful for. Oftentimes, it’s natural to do so with what is and has been “good” in our life. And while I fully support and do this practice myself—I also appreciate and encourage being grateful for what has been hard.

Have you ever sat in a safe and loving circle with other women—sharing your Self authentically? Where you talk about your darkest moments, deepest fears, and greatest longings?

Happy NOvember! This month I am taking two online courses: Jewish Ancestral Healing with Taya Mâ of Kohenet and Hub Marketing with Tad Hargrave, Marketing for Hippies.

Last night my dear friend Nancy came over for a visit. As I cooked us up a delicious and healthy dinner we chatted about the aches in our bodies. Nancy having back spasm, me having knee pain.

Have you heard the call to make an important change? Perhaps it’s a whisper or maybe an obvious sign from the Universe! But, you know in your bones, heart, and soul that it’s time to up-level your Self and initiate a growth spurt.

I am back from my nine-day Vision Quest in Northern Utah and Glennon Doyle’s words: “We can do hard things” are ringing loudly in my head.

I recently made a BIG decision! I said YES to going on a Vision Fast in northern Utah where, alongside a few others, I will be camping solo and fasting for four days. It’s BIG!

We likely know each other from the Yoga world when I was the founder, owner, and CEO of Next Generation Yoga—one of the first Yoga schools dedicated to children—founded in 1998.
