Are you good at being consistent and showing up?
Are you focused, or do you tend to get distracted and pulled into a thousand things?
Do you dabble in many interests, or do you follow through with just a few and go deep?
If you want to heal your trauma and negative conditioning, empower and...
Hello and welcome to a post about blushing—turning red, ears going beetroot, cheeks flushing, hot redness flashing up the throat… or however else blushing appears for you. This is a somewhat specialized mail to help what I'd call hardcore blushers, or people who have a serious...
Today I want to share a meditation about our voices – those beautiful organic instruments of soft, delicate tissue that create sounds and help us express ourselves.
So many of us have complex relationships with our voices, so in this little meditation we're going to go in and meet it,...
I'd like to share some really simple ways of presenting your best self. Even in front of 50 people, or 10 people in a meeting, these are simple ways to bring yourself into clarity and alignment to express exactly what you want to say.

Everyone in agreement here.
“I’ve always wanted to sing with others, but I freeze...
"Stop singing!" we yelled but we were laughing.
Dad chimed in, "It's awful!"
My mom used to sing a comical song to tease us: "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along" by Doris Day.
The family would laugh and shout, and eventually she would stop singing. It was all rather jolly and...
"Children should be seen and not heard".
You might think it's a cliché, but when I'm working with blocked voices, these words come out all the time.
"My parents discouraged my emotions. I quickly learned that they disapproved if I was angry or emotional".
And so a child little by little...

“Inside of me is a powerful human being, who can’t quite release the words she wants to release”.
I hear this a lot.
Frustration, a sense of being blocked, “my thoughts won’t exit my mouth in an eloquent kind of way!”
I ask her about how she feels BEFORE going...
