Welcome to The Blog!
Where The “Whole” Leader is Supported and Appreciated.

My mission is simple. It’s to get you to a place of feeling good when you think and speak so that you lead from a place that lifts you and others around you.. I know conscious, authentic communication (the kind that makes you feel vulnerable) may make you feel nervous at times, but I promise if you stick around here, you’ll get better and better at it. You just need the tools to own the room with confidence, influence vs. inform and make genuine connections with the people you work with.
It’s time for us all to ditch the facade of being what we’ve been programmed to believe is “professional.” AKA: What you think other people want you to be and step into the clarity of just being you. After all, it’s you and your expertise that got you the job and the clients in the first place. 😃
And if you’re wondering what spirituality and science has to do with becoming a better communicator and leader …. buckle up! You’re in for the inside-out self-improvement journey of a lifetime.
Don’t Resolve: Eliminate!
I’m sure I don’t have to remind you: 2022 is just days away and with the calendar flip, we can expect the annual rhetoric about making and keeping New Year's Resolutions.
We make pledges to lose weight, make more money, exercise more, spend more time with family, start that business, take that class, etc. All of our most noble endeavors and loftiest desires come flooding to the surface on January 1st.
Our intentions are good. Our efforts are sincere. So, why are these resolutions most often abandoned by February?
How Emotions Affect Your Public Speaking Performance (& YOUR LIFE)
What IF you could control what happens to you? What if you could have an objective POV that enabled you to:
Observe the situation objectively
Assess your energy level
Predict your go-to response
Intercept that go-to response (stress, worry, fear, anger, etc) with a sudden peaceful, controlled energetic shift that, in turn, created…
… a new reality.
How to Create a Sustainable Gratitude Practice
Gratitude may be the best attitude but creating a gratitude practice is how you initiate, instigate, and cultivate that attitude in order to truly reap the benefits (read: improving your happiness and quality of life).
Here’s the truth about gratitude: it is unrestricted by time. You can be grateful for what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will happen in the future all at once: in the present (you know, the gift of the present?)
What Phony PPL* Can Teach Us About Patience
Five principles to keep you focused while you create your life (and a chance to win a seat at Phony PPL’s ongoing tour!)
You don’t have to know anything about astrology to know the past few weeks (uh, maybe even longer) have been I-N-T-E-N-S-E.
Many of my clients, zodiac-literate or not, have come to me exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or just generally freaking out, saying things like…
Why I Use Tarot & Oracle Cards
If you were tasked with presenting visual information in a compelling and organized way that, incidentally, anticipated what was coming in the next season, you might not consider that to be a part of a spiritual practice. You might rely on intuition, prior experience, or various other metrics of so-called prediction. All of us, in some way or another, engage in prediction as a way to plan our next best move.
Trusting Affirmations for Anxiety
Whether you are preparing for a public speaking event, an important business meeting, or just an awkward conversation, you are probably dealing with at least a low level of anxiety at all times. The pace of daily life is incredibly hectic -- we multitask, multipurpose and juggle minor and major issues all day long, seven days a week. If you are struggling to maintain a calm, peaceful feeling in your everyday life, consider adding a practice of affirmations to your routine.
Choosing Resiliency
Resilience is what happens when you give yourself evidence that you can survive difficult things.
If 2020 taught all of us anything, it is that survival requires a mix of flexibility and resilience.
People who are close to me often ask me how to make it through or make comments about me being “so strong,” wondering and looking for ways to adopt coping mechanisms for tough times.
