Today marks the one day birthday of my first book, Lose Your Critic for Good. And like any proud parent, I can’t stop talking about this little gem of a book.

When I wrote this book, I was eager to pull together all my best advice for how to turn your life from so-so and getting-by into...

How many of us spend hours thinking of the things that could go wrong and then planning for how we will avoid or prepare for that wrong turn? How many of us spend days thinking up ways that our project could go sideways without ever turning our attention to what we will do if the project is a...

I recently found myself making such rapid changes in my life that I went into a little fear. I started to wonder if I was changing too fast or whether my quest to get to the end of the change cycle I am in was ill placed. All ideas that show me that I have a desire to go fast and a desire to end...

If you are here because you are spiritually curious, then you are in the right place. Here are the core principles that I espouse.

Everyone matters. That includes me. This means I follow my wants and pay attention to my own emotions. I encourage you to do the same.

Some days, I sit to write these blog posts and I am filled with optimism, hope, and positive advice. Other days, I am filled with worry, negative scenario planning, and unhelpful self talk. And on those other days, I choose not to write.

Some of you might think that I am all sunshine and...

When I started this blog, just over a year ago, I had no plan for the content, no roadmap for what I would write about, and no readers who were along for the ride. Now that I am posting my 100th blog post, I thought I would give an update of what this year has looked like for me.

In my early adulthood, I was a careful planner. I would think ahead to the next thing in my life and then I would ask myself, What is every step I need to take to get me from here to over there?

Most times, when I did this sort of planning, I imagined roadblocks and then carefully made plans to...

I have written before about my practice of drafting a project plan for all my goals and then promptly trashing the project plan once it’s complete. What I haven’t told you is why I do that.

The world today seems to be moving faster than ever. New technologies abound. New ways of...

There is a funny thing that happens once you step into the spirit-led life. You start to care less.

You care less what other people think. Their opinions are data points helping you to see your own unique opinions, but they aren’t something you fret about.

You care less about how you look....

In a world that seems filled with pre-programmed ideas, it can seem hard to find your inner, authentic voice. It can seem daunting to tune out the messages we are bombarded with and to find your way into a strong inner knowing of what you want, unfiltered by what society tells us to want. It can...

When I sit to write these posts, I often don’t have a set agenda for what I want to cover. Instead, I let my intuition guide me and see what needs to come forward today. For me. I’d be remiss if I didn’t come clean and let you know that I write these posts more for me than I do...

For a long time, I associated spirituality with keeping quiet. Not speaking my mind for fear of offending others. Not staking a claim for what I wanted for fear of asking for too much. Not standing up for what I thought because of concern that my beliefs were off base.
