Welcome to December. You made it. This month heralds a time of looking back to look forward, as well as making wishes for gifts and hoping they get granted, and then some. As you look forward into 2026 you may also be dreaming of what you want to build, change, create, and make real. One
As I’ve been connecting with clients, mentors, and friends the last few weeks it feels like everyone has reached a soul level of exhaustion. No matter what they do they can’t seem to shake it. Are you feeling it too? We’re nearing the end of a very emotionally and physically chaotic year where many people
Have you ever stopped to think what a prosperous life would look like for you? Or ever defined your why behind working as hard as you do on what you do every day? One of the best ways we align with and stay true to our happiest path is by defining things on our own
When we are present, allow ourselves to tune into our bodies more subtle cues, and make space to hear and listen to our intuition we are using our inner compass to guide us on the path that makes our vision for life real. The path is like any hike in Colorado, full of twists and
One of the strangest things about life is that when we’re used to being unhappy, we have a tendency to fight or not believe it when happy comes. Have you ever noticed this? There’s a lot of psychology and neuroscience happening here. We may cling to that unhappy identity so much we’re afraid of what’s
In a world that seems to choose hatred and violence time and time again, how do you find your way to happy? And is it even worth it? Yes, a thousand times over, yes. You doing the inner work, healing, and shining your bright light out into the world is the greatest antidote to hate.
Have you ever visited a chiropractor? I’ve been blessed to have life altering adjustments that always led to greater health thanks to trusted chiropractors. From a knee injury in high school that turned out to be a misaligned pelvis, to an overactive immune system that just needed the nervous system regulation of regular adjustments, to
How do you feel about the way you work? Do you think it serves your and the world’s highest and best? This is a question that I couldn’t stop pondering over Earth Day. So much so that I believe it is a major part of my mission. The path to healing the way we work
As I’m sitting down to write the final draft of this article, Spring is officially here! This season heralds a time of transformation, where things, long dormant, spring to life under the right conditions. Humans follow this cycle too. We are of the earth. We have rhythms in our lives similar to the excitement of
Kai and I walked out the other evening to be greeted by one of our neighbors and her adorable tiny white terrier. There was such warmth and kindness. The sweet old terrier even tried to instigate a little play with Kai. It was a wonderful moment. Instantly, I flashed to a week prior when our
I learned a concept that I found so helpful recently, I knew I just had to share it with you. It crosses and impacts every area of life, and by some twist of fate connects perfectly to last month. It’s the idea that everything has seasons, just like earth. I mean everything. An event, a
As I sat down to write this my mind decided it wanted to go completely blank. I slept on it. Still blank. I asked myself what would serve you the reader the best as a new year starts? Still blank. This has never happened before. Just like the stillness one feels with fresh snowfall, that
The month of December, even though often hectic, is one of my favorite months of the year. It’s my birthday month, filled with Christmas festivities and other religious traditions of celebrating light that shines through darkness, cozy home additions abound, and on a good year, there’s snow, my absolute favorite. December also comes with feelings
I have always been an incredibly spiritual person. I think it’s one of the many perks of being wired as highly sensitive. I experience the world in greater detail, sensing what others cannot. When I allow myself to follow that sensing with curiosity and action, it is eventually validated as true. Raised Lutheran, it was
I just finished a two month series with a client. It inspired me to share a bit of that final session here. I always feel mixed emotions when our time comes to a close. I have intense pride for them and all the shifts they’ve made in our time together, they usually even look lighter.
As a self-described searcher and seeker I am always looking for opportunities to learn and grow. I have an insatiable curiosity that often is evidenced in my saved articles to read later and podcasts in queue. One such podcast, The Diary of a CEO, taught me a new term in a recent episode: metacognition. Metacognition
What do you do when life throws you an opportunity that is amazing but definitely wasn’t in the master plan? Do you gather information and move forward one step at a time to see if it could be right, or do you see it as something to fear? I am reminded of the saying that
If you remember my April column, I nudged each of you to get curious with yourselves and your “why” behind your actions or inactions. This month I’m taking that to a level deeper and putting a new spin on procrastination with the hope of helping us all shift out of it and into action. Many
When you’re upset, hurt, or processing big emotions, how do you communicate, if you communicate at all? As a highly-sensitive person, I can feel what’s left unsaid. It’s almost as if I can see the energy ripple between people. Ironic, most of my life my people-pleaser persona won. I often chose to remain silent rather
My email subscribers received this same question a few weeks ago: How self aware are you? When I tuned in and intuitively asked what would best serve any of you amazing readers, I heard loud and clear to deliver a similar message here. This topic is so important because it is often our inner blindspots
Today you’ll find me curious about pretty much anything: my inner dialog, my procrastination, my dog’s behavior, my habits, my intuitive nudges and physical feelings, my judgments, any human I encounter and much more. I wasn’t always this way. I tended to be a bit of a know-it-all. It was a persona I needed to
I recently read an email in which the head of a company that I really admire talked about her struggles with addiction. It caught my eye because I was surprised to hear this from someone so successful and from such a healthy habits focused family. That is my judgment and the judgment of the world
Before I dive into this month’s column, I have a confession: It’s inspired by a commercial aired during a recent football game. I generally hate commercials and usually ignore them, but a reminder of one of the laws of thermodynamics caught my ears and kept me thinking. This law states that energy cannot be created
As you read this article you’re likely in as much disbelief as I am that it’s 2024. The end of 2019 feels like yesterday, yet the pandemic feels decades away and yet still very much here. Einstein had a hunch that time was not linear. Life has a funny way of proving him right. The
