The Power of Yet
Do you have big dreams for your life? Do you imagine a future in which you set healthy boundaries, don’t take on other people’s emotions, do what you want to do, not what you feel obligated to do to keep others happy? Do you dream of quitting your job, starting your own business, going to…
Read MoreEp #98: The Power of Yet
We are on the very cusp of 2021, and this time of year often provokes thoughts about our dreams and what we want in our lives going forward, but are you cutting your future off at the knees before you even get started? A phrase I hear often from my clients, which I know to…
Read MoreBelieving in Your Goals, Believing in Yourself
Here we are, but a few little minutes away from New Year’s, and the potentially crushing weight of that silly tradition of New Year’s resolutions, which let’s be real, just don’t work. Don’t lead to real change in our lives, and particularly for my perfectionist thinkers out there, I see you. The fantasy-level resolutions our…

It might feel like a totally foreign concept, where you’ve never even considered pausing to recognize your achievements, or you apologize for doing it and feel the need to add a disclaimer beforehand. The art…

One of the core tools that I share with you here on the podcast to heal your codependent, perfectionist, and people-pleasing habits is the thought work protocol. Using this one tool has helped me step out of old narratives that don’t serve me and it really has been so empowering, but 2020 has been tough…
Read MoreEmpaths and Other People’s Emotions
Do you identify as an emotional empath? I hear my clients say that they are so often emotionally exhausted by the world because as an empath, they absorb, take on, and feel all the feels and emotions of everyone around them. Like a firehose of emotion that’s constantly turned on within them, flooding them with…
Read MoreEp #94: Empaths and Other People’s Emotions
A common experience among my clients in my six-month mastermind is that of being an empath. If you feel like you easily absorb and take on other people’s emotions, across the spectrum from positive to negative, and you want to shift the narrative or figure out how to support yourself better, this episode is for…
Read MorePleasure: Why You Need It and How to Receive It
We talk a lot here, you and I, about healing. About learning to manage our adult minds, about reparenting our perfect inner children. We use thought work to shift and change our ways of thinking about our lives, to live with intention. And all of that is enormously important. And it is so vital in…
