129: 6 things everyone needs to do to avoid dirty Chi
Today's show is going to teach you 6 things you need to implement in your home, to avoid dirty energy. So many people fail to pay attention to the details in their home, but energy doesn't lie. Get these 6 things wrong and it will deflect the opportunities you attract, trigger your nervous system and it could cause you an inability to speak up. It's one of the reason I end every show with "trust the vibe." Everything is energy and energy is everything and given the astrology that we are about to embark on, now more than ever we need...

Hope I'm up for the task!

We no longer honor her seasons and ignore the cycles that ebb and flow with harvest. We once celebrated her with offerings, ceremonies and ritual and in the last 100 years that love affair has b...

So here’s the thing to remember, in Feng Shui food is associated with health and well being. It's literally "Healthy Chi." But if the Chi you consume isn’t healthy and vital, neither are you. Unfortunately, Cheetos don’t have vital Chi, and neither does that toxic laden cheeseburger you just ate. Many people eat most of their foods from the pantry as opposed to their fridge. That means you are consuming more additives, preservatives, chemicals and toxins, which lowers your vibe. In today's episode I'm going to teach you the importance of your fridge, how to keep it clean...

Self-care is a dirty word to most women. The idea of finding simple pleasures through out the day brings an onset of shame, guilt and the ugly idea that you don’t deserve to self indulge because you have too much to do. Nonsense!

When it comes to Feng Shui a lot of people make interpretations on what they think it is. Most will agree that Feng Shui is a way to work with energy to create a certain type of harmonious living space. One of peace and tranquility. And while on one hand it’s very simple, it can also be quite mysterious and complex. Floor plans alone can tell a story all their own.

I have studied feng shui for over seventeen years, but when Nashville resident, Mallory Shaw of Confetti and Stripes, reached out to me on getting the basics of feng shui down, I knew I had to say yes.

It was right then and there that I knew we needed to extend our conversation and get down and dirty with feng shui 101. And it turns out...
