Just What You Needed#44 - How We Hide From Our Deepest HealingPersonal. Self. Responsibility. Yep, I went there. More times than not, the problem you think you have is not the true problem. The root of the issue is way deeper than you allow yourself to see and if you allowed yourself to see what was going on five levels deeper, then it would mean you’d have to face some really uncomfortable truths about yourself. So instead of taking that radical personal responsibility, we’ve all been taught to look at the surface level and point to that boss, that circumstance, that partner as the proble...

Just What You Needed#43 - Knowing And Owning Your (Feminine) PowerWe (as women) learn to define ourselves by who or what we’re in relation to. Example: “I’m a good daughter / partner / mother / worker bee, therefore...I’m okay, safe, and enough.” And as a result, we forget who we really are. Your Soul’s journey is to come back to itself. To dig in and figure out who we’re meant to be in this life. To identify who we were before we absorbed everything the world told us we needed to be. We’re meant to be the leading lady of our own lives! It’s time...

Just What You Needed#42 - In The Pursuit of More, Watch Out For ThisDo you want a richer, more satisfying and more aligned presence in your life, or do you just want more? In the process of epic self-discovery, identifying what lights us up and how we feel called to show up in the world can be both exhilarating and terrifying. It’s exhilarating because the more we practice, the more it feels like we’re coming home. However, sharing ideas and concepts that go against the grain of what is usually considered “acceptable” can be really terrifying. The waiting for judgement, loss in revenue or community can be enough...

Oftentimes, identifying with Feminine energy will have you feeling like you are a square peg trying to fit herself into a round hole.
