The 5 Layers of Being

We are complex beings. Underneath our skin, muscle, and bone lies a complex system. The most authentic version of you sits at the deepest layer of your being. You might refer to this as your soul or spirit. It’s your joy and bliss state. This is the part of you that is connected to truth. This is the part of you that is the love of the universe. This is the part of you that never dies or is conditioned. It’s the part of you that we were born knowing. It’s your highest consciousness. It’s the place where you can BE vs. DO.

How to Dream Your New Years Theme

Every year I see gyms and commercials banking on the New Year’s Resolutions that end up falling away by mid-February. I’ve been there! I’ve tried setting health goals for myself, trying new hobbies, and making the whole year about 1 resolution that in the moment sounded like a good idea. And every year…I failed or just simply forgot about it with all the things happening in my life.

Voices of Comparison

The real obstacle is that the voices will always be there. When you tell them to stop talking, it's like saying "don't think about a white elephant." You're totally thinking about a white elephant right? Working to co-exist with these voices is a practice. Can you work on distinguishing the difference between reality and non-reality?

9 Ways to Set Intentions for a New Year

Every year we get caught up in New Years Resolutions. You've heard it...New Year, New YOU right? Why is it that a new year inspires us to get a gym membership, try a month cleanse, lose weight, and go from 0mph to 60mph with new habits only for them to be lost in the chaos of winter, schedules, and lack of motivation by February?

2017 End of Year Reflections

It is almost the end of 2017, and so much has happened this year. I started a business, bought a house, got pregnant, and juggled what felt like a thousand continuing education trainings. This December, I'm taking the opportunity to reflect on all that has happened this year. So often I focus on starting fresh in the new year that I forget to reflect, grow, and learn from the things that are present and happening right now.

Attitude of Gratitude

When we act from a place of gratitude and abundance, we will find that we already have everything that we need to thrive and succeed. If you are having a hard time visualizing what you are grateful for, then work to find gratitude in the spaces in between.

5 Ways to Overcome Obstacles

Have a Growth Mindset

Instead of allowing the obstacle to stop you in your tracks, find a way to shift your perspective on the situation. Though it may feel sticky, unpleasant, and uncomfortable, visualize all the ways in which this particular obstacle is helping you grow. What themes, lessons, and values have popped up through your challenges and setbacks? Often times our obstacles can show us what we want, but also show us what is not serving us. Take away these larger themes and allow it to inspire you with growth from the inside out.
