What are you feeding your brain?

April 14, 2026

You may have heard that you’ll become like the five people you spend the most time with. And I certainly think that has a big influence on your worldview and approach of life. But what you let into your brain is equally important in my opinion. I’m very mindful about what I consume and allow in. Being thoughtful…

Will people still like me when they see who I truly am?

April 7, 2026

Most people worry about what other people will think about them. I know we shouldn’t. You know you shouldn’t. That doesn't mean we don't. It reminds me of what one of my first mentors said, “What other people think of you is none of your business.” Very true but not always easy to put into practice. Our …

Are you measuring the wrong life?

April 1, 2026

What if your definition of success has been the wrong equation all along? Last week I wrote about a very intense week I had that was entirely focused on human connection—and how it reminded me of the thing that matters above all else. The people in your life. (Given the response I got this clearly struck a chord f…

The thing that matters above all else

March 24, 2026

The events of the past week led me to reassess what’s truly important in life. It started with the father of one of my best friends passing away on Tuesday. There’s nothing like being confronted with death to remind you of what really matters—though it’s sad that we seem to need this reminder. (Don’t wait …

How to supercharge your water

March 16, 2026

If you've been doing all the right things—drinking your 6-8 glasses of water— and still feel not properly hydrated, this article explains why that might be the case. The first time I consciously remember becoming aware of the importance of water was when I read an article in a girl’s magazine. As a result, I s…

This drains your energy, focus and mood

March 11, 2026

When you're busy or running on empty, the basics are usually the first thing to go. Like drinking enough water. That's why I've gotten into the habit of drinking my glasses of water standing at the kitchen sink. Not idyllic but super practical. Because when I bring the glass with me into my office, chances are I will t…

You always deserved this

March 3, 2026

Our two biggest needs are love and belonging. And somehow for most of us that translates in “I need to be worthy” in order to be loved or belong. And that’s where things become problematic. Because we misunderstand what is required to be worthy.  Social conditioning tells us we need to earn worthiness. And th…

I’m inviting you to raise the bar (how to choose more)

February 24, 2026

I’m hosting my Come Home to Yourself program and what stood out last week was that many people never stop to wonder whether what they’re doing in their life feels right. They are simply plodding along on the course that was set by their family or society as a whole. They don’t take the time to wonder “What will…

5 benefits of raising your vibration & how to do it

February 17, 2026

Last week I wrote about how everything has a specific frequency that affects you—which we can measure thanks to the research of Dr. David R. Hawkins. He created a scale of consciousness that shows the vibration of your emotions and how that impacts you and your life. He also discovered that the level of 200 on tha…

One shift that changes everything

February 10, 2026

Do you know the feeling when you walk into a room and you just feel the tension? Or you arrive at a new location and immediately feel relaxed and at home? Everything is energy—from this computer, tablet or phone you are holding to the food you ate, even your own thoughts, all have a certain vibrational frequency. …
