“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” ~Lao Tzu We carefully pick out what we wear to the gym to make sure we look good in the eyes of the other gymgoers. We beat ourselves up after meetings, running through everything we said (or didn’t say), worried that coworkers will think we aren’t…
If everything has felt like too much lately, I get it. Sometimes life feels like a malfunctioning game of Whack-a-Mole. As soon as you tackle one issue, another one pops up—over and over again, with increasing speed. It’s exhausting. Sometimes infuriating. And that’s why I’m so happy to finally share this with you… It’s bundle launch day! Yay! Yay…
Do you sometimes see people running around enjoying life and wonder what you’re missing? Sometimes I used to think I must be a horrible person. I had so many things going for me, and I still couldn’t be happy. I would ask myself, is there something wrong with me? Am I a narcissist? Then sometimes I would decide I…
“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” ~Robert Brault With only a few more months until my son leaves for college, I am a mindfulness teacher wrestling with my own heart and mind. While avoiding the frequent mom conversations about “empty nesting,” I’m struggling to admit that…

In the tale, a clever jackal outwits a mighty lion by convincing him that the rock ledge above them is about to collapse. The lion, believing the jackal’s warning, uses all his…
“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul ,be just another human soul.” ~Carl Jung For years, I poured myself into learning about love, relationships, and personal growth. I read every book I could get my hands on, signed up for countless classes, and surrounded myself with affirmations, tools, and techniques that…
Every January for the past few years, I’ve run a big bundle sale offering a collection of online tools to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with peace, joy, and meaning. But this year, it didn’t happen when I planned. Life happened instead. Between health issues, tests and treatments, and a loved one’s diagnosis, I didn’t have the bandwidth…
“Remember, being happy doesn’t mean you have it all. It simply means you’re thankful for all you have.” ~Unknown It was 3 a.m. when I realized I was the only person not in St. Barts. At least that’s what it felt like on Instagram, even though I know it wasn’t true. I wasn’t the only person not dancing on…
“The silence between the notes is as important as the notes themselves.” ~Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart When I was younger, I thought knowledge was something you could capture—something you could write down, measure, and prove.
