Today I wanted to give you a window into what I'm working on in my emotional growth and maturity. Today I'm present to being in a reality I've been anticipating for many months. A while back my partner told me he wanted to take a backpacking trip in June to Yosemite so the reality I was contemplating for months was being apart for 8 days. If you've been around for a bit you already know I have an abandonment wound and struggle with separation anxiety when my partner and I are

Before I get into this one let me first say that if you’re expecting a newsletter with me unpacking all the upset and anger someone (me) would feel when their mother doesn’t acknowledge them on their birthday this is not that writing piece. This is going to give some context about what happened but focus on the power I unearthed and growth I experienced when I didn’t hear from my mother on my birthday. If you missed it on Instagram, I turned 40 last Wednesday. It was a portal

If you follow me on Insta you might have noticed I’ve been quiet. That’s because I’ve been focusing on my program Emotional Mastery… as well as being fully present to my own emotional mastery in my personal life. My partnership is in a tough spot. I’m dealing with some non-life threatening health stuff. I picked up some side work that’s I'm earning well in but is bringing up old emotional wounds for me to work through. I’m communing deeper than I ever have with my business Wo

Here's a selfie I took last night and send to some girlfriends before I went downstairs to head out to a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with my partner. After coming off a week of energy expansion with Emotional Mastery I was really looking forward to some quiet intimacy time with my partner. Where we live this time of year seasonal allergies can be a killer and my partner's been struggling with his. When I went downstairs my partner was trying to find his wallet and looki

I'm coming back online from a weekend trip to San Francisco spending time with my partner's family. I didn't expect it, but in addition to the nourishment I got spending time with family, I also had some powerful experiences walking around downtown SF taking in the energy of the city. I had a few nostalgic flashbacks to my times living in big cities. You might now know this but I've also lived in Boston, New York City and Austin, TX so there is a certain frequency that gets

I've been having "writer's block" for about 3 months now despite posting on here pretty consistently. It's been easy to put on my teacher hat and post carousels for you and share all my knowledge about emotional growth and building healthy relationships. It's been heart opening to allow you to feel my care for you as I impart my knowledge. The genuine appreciate I get back from you is seen and deeply felt. It's also been easy to put on my entertainer hat and post reels for yo

I’ve been getting more and more into Reels as my primary type of content here and it’s been so fun. You may have noticed that most of my reels are for laughs. I know this because I’m usually laughing as I’m recording them or seeing tons of laugh cry emojis in the comments. There are also many of you who are confronted and sometimes pained by the truth delivered in my reels about emotional growth, dating and relationships. I know this because I get DMs, sad face emojis and que

Today marks 5 years of romantic partnership and over 7 years knowing this wonderful man. Just a few nights ago we were chatting in bed reflecting on how far we've come. He said, "You and I have gone through hell together." I laughed out loud but felt the truth of his statement. To some this might seem intense. Our relationship started out as a crucible. Actually, it still is and always will be. It was just really really damn hot in the beginning because there was SO much to b

We've been in a beautiful inquiry on whether or not we want to have kids. It’s been a gentle, intimate and emotionally sober conversation for about a month. We're both committed to growth and healing together and committed to the relationship. We have done so much work together. Like SO much. This inquiry is multi-layered for me. Here are some of the layers: I’m considering this later in life. I’m 39 with an auto-immune disorder that has been in remission for many years but g

When you want to find an cultivate healthy sustainable relationships and love yourself immensely in the process, but keep running into the same painful dating scenarios over and over again while trying to juggle all the other things in your life... It's a perfect recipe for a jaded, hopeless, pessimistic attitude about all this stuff AND a catalyst for taking your toys, going home and swearing off dating completely. So let's talk. There are a few things I want to get clear on

I recently signed a new client who wants support managing her anger. I couldn't be more thrilled to start this work together! Women Can Heal is all about using your love life to heal, grow and be fully self-expressed. In our love lives we can struggle with strong and recurring emotional responses.
