Join me for three easy-to-implement strategies in eight short minutes.

Have you ever noticed how your mind gets when you're anxious, running 10 million miles an hour? Kids are the same way. We tend to want to organize ourselves to make things easier, but kids don't have that skill. What if I could tell you that there was one thing you could hang on the wall that would help your kids deal with their worry?

My whole life, my inner life was a horrible swirling of emotions I didn't understand. After decades of trying to (unsuccessfully) analyze what was going on inside in order to STOP it, I found a solution that works for me — including meditating in a way that is unlike most everything I've heard. Today, I share what I do with you, from the comfort of my Sanctuary Closet (ha).

Whether it's an office, a bathroom, or a closet, we all need a place where we can go to calm the eff down.

How do we want to begin 2021? What do we do when the clock doesn't start fresh at 12am on January 1st, there's still a pandemic raging, and not too much has changed?

It's really hard to wait patiently for hard stuff to be over. Often, the process SUCKS. Here's why it's so important.

Losing my breasts to cancer and choosing to rock my flat chest and scars has given me a different perspective on my body and what it means to be authentically oneself. Here's the insight it's given me and why I decided not only to remove my breast reconstruction, but also stop wearing prosthetics.

Many of us aim for perfection, or at the very least, our best work. Sometimes, though, that's at the expense of getting things DONE. Today, I'm talking about taking the cheap and easy path to podcasting even though I have no idea what I'm doing  (and that I did the same thing when I started my business).
