One of the hardest things in life is to trust and follow the flow. I believe life is happening for you—not to you. And when you really believe that, it’s also true when shitty stuff happens. Except when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan, things start to feel really personal. And it becomes much harder to keep tha…

I used to get drained by being around other people and I thought there was something wrong with me. I didn’t respond to situations the same as the people around me. I seemed to be bothered by things others didn’t even register. No one understood. I’ve always known I was different than most people and to me …

Our energy is precious, and it's such a waste when we get depleted by things we can prevent. As a sensitive soul I tend to notice all the little things that cost me energy.

I usually take four weeks off in August. That's a lot—I know. I'd like to take you down memory-lane to explain how I came to take an annual summer retreat, and why I believe it's crucial for my productivity, creativity and well-being (and yours!).

Coming out of the spiritual closet allowed me to let all of myself be present. For most of my life I had only focused on my rational side. That’s how I was successful in life—I have a good brain and I’m very practical. Then I opened what felt like this door to the entire right side of the building that was …

Once I learned I was more intuitive and sensitive than I thought, I dove into learning all about my sensitivity and intuition. I went to various workshops to educate myself. One of those was a combination of the creative work and the more intuitive work I was moving towards. It was at the Creative Problem Solving In…

A very exciting part of my education, that became the gateway to discovering so many more of my abilities as an intuitive mentor, was when I trained to be a facilitator for brainstorming sessions. I learned a lot of skills and techniques that have served me well over the years. But most importantly, I learned how to po…

We've all been there, I know I have. Something happens and it triggers an (often emotional) response within you. It's easy to blame the person doing the thing that triggered you for how you're feeling. But the truth is that their action (or lack thereof) only pushed an already existing button. So what does it mea…
