How to Love Your Wounded Self
We all have a Wounded Self - a part of us that feels as though the world didn’t meet us with love and compassion, an experience that hurt us during one of our most vulnerable points of life - early childhood. It’s a normal part of being human on the earth and it’s...

The Commonly Celebrated Quality That Actually Leads to Failure
And the Three Counter-Intuitive Tools to Rebalance It Perfectionism is something that plagues many of us. In a lot of ways, it comes from a good place of wanting to do well, to hold up high ethics and values, and an overall desire to do good in the world. However,...

The Impact of the Shadow Feminine on Men
All human beings have many different aspects of shadow in themselves. The shadow feminine has a particularly cutting and demeaning impact on men.
Intention Isn’t Enough
Is setting up an intention enough? Is creating a word, a resolution, or a whole list of goals going to get you where you want to go in this new year? Probably not.

The Holidays: Five Teachings
No matter what you celebrate, how you celebrate –or don’t celebrate– the holidays are an opportunity for reflection, integration, action and new beginnings.
Why Being in Service Fills Us Up
I believe when any of us find a way to be compassionately active, when we participate in a cause we believe in, whatever form our service takes, it takes our inner process to a whole other level. I myself have experienced this so many times. Old wounds or limiting believe systems just simply relax by holding space for another in need.
Practicing Embodiment through Facing Fear
I have come face to face with my relationship to performance in a more significant way than basically anything else I have ever done. It has made profound shifts in my career success and confidence. I have come into a much better relationship with my body. I feel stronger, lighter, and more energized. And with increasing regularity, I like the way I look.
An Ongoing Struggle with My Body

Joy and our Strategies against it
Me being joyful fills my cup and allows me to be there for others in fuller, richer and more energized ways. Me depriving myself of joy leaves me haggard, resentful, and tired. Who wants to be around that?
Letting in the good was not my approach to happiness.
Can I say I believe in happiness now? Yes, but with a little more wisdom to know that happiness and longing are not mutually exclusive. It turns out that happiness can’t be found by constantly looking for it elsewhere.
Creativity and your Three Selves
Creativity is one of those ‘things’ that we are in relationship with and do not fully realize it. We have to cultivate and foster that relationship in order for it to grow.
The Joy of Full Self-Expression
Whatever happened to those days of being completely self-expressed? You know what I am talking about…. when we were little and ran around doing really weird things like jumping over imaginary animals, laughing out loud, making ridiculous faces and screaming at the top of our lungs?
What if Creative Blocks are Just a Part of the Process?
Winter turns to Spring which turns to Summer and then Fall. The process of being creative, of living, often reflects these same cycles. What if this is not something to fight against, but something to learn to value and work with as part of our creative journey?
