  • Episode 14 - A spin on Gratitude

    Have you ever had the experience that something negative is happening in your life and then month’s or year’s later reconsidered… that the very thing that happened to you was actually something good?  That maybe it didn’t just happen to you but that it happened for you and that in the end you learned a valuable lesson or decided to make a life change due to that event or mis-step?

  • Episode 10: Moving through life cycle's
    Fall - It’s the season of transition. We are moving out of the heat of summer and into the winds of change. There is a stripping down taking place in Nature.

But we live in houses with artificial lighting, heat and technology. And we are busy! How can we be a better mirror, building a bit more grace, spaciousness and power into our moments, our days, and our lives?

  • Episode 9: Leah Goes Out of Her Comfort Zone
    Dancing??? Can I just sit on my yoga mat? There is this limiting idea behind being comfortable. Stepping out of your comfort zone has the potential to shift… well, your comfort zone! And that’s how we grow, when we are willing to push our boundaries a little bit. We often feel like we are in the trenches of life, and our choices feel so BIG, and we become frozen with indecision. The reality is… It’s just play. Let’s reframe: This is a crossroads opportunity. Can you play? That’s where the magic happens.

  • Episode 6: Is Discipline a Bad Word?
    We’ve been taught to measure success by checking off external boxes, what we’ve accomplished. What if we measured success by our feelings instead? Practice is a set of rituals, pauses we place in our lives so we can align with who we WANT to be. Practice sets a foundation, so we can gain true happiness. It acts as a guiding system so that we can show up as our most authentic self, fully present for what the day holds. Do I feel vibrant? Potent? If not, practice helps bring us back to our center.
