In this episode, I talk about the habitual patterns of thought that are hurting us. We all have a mindset – a way of seeing the world. But is this mindset causing you undeserved pain? Think about it… what is the story you tell yourself far too often, which deep down you know is not true? It lies somewhere in the region of “I’m not good enough”, “I am not loved,” and “I am useless”. Learn how to interrupt these destructive patterns of thought so that they are no longer your go-to. Release the mindsets that are hurting you and replace them with ones that empower and nurture you…
In this episode I talk about how, in any unpleasant experience, we have the potential of hurting ourselves twice. Most of us grew up hearing messages telling us not to feel what we were feeling – “toughen up”, “look on the bright side”. With these messages, we have become so good at beating ourselves up for having a “negative” emotion, such as sadness or anger.

Today I share the life changing lesson on primary and secondary experiences, how you have permission to feel what you are feeling, and how to soften the…

The people we consider the bravest in the world are not immune to fear, discomfort, or vulnerability. On the contrary…

Mornings used to be a quiet, ease-into-the-day, informal ritual. With my 2 babies, they are instead chaotic, trying-to-keep-up, and impersonal. I was losing the calm that I felt I needed to begin my day with. So, I decided to take back control of my mornings and regain the peace. This is how I did it…
“How do you know? Don’t you want to checkme?”, I asked. “Because I can see the head”, answered Janet, my midwife. That was about 9 months 6 days and 19 hours into this story. Approximately 5 pushes before I held my baby Logan in my arms for the very first time. Here is our story…
As I worked through my own contractions, I visualized the magnificent and beautiful elephant mother guiding her own baby through the birth canal, just as I was. Like her, I too am fully capable of and strong enough to birth my baby…
My day started off with all the feelings described above: failure, inadequacy, insignificance. It ended with me sitting on the couch alongside my family, drinking champagne, eating pizza and laughing hysterically at Friends re-runs, while my beautiful baby girl lay sleeping peacefully in the next room. At the same time, only 2 blocks away, another mom, who through the lens of objectivity was living the perfect life, chose to end her life…
