I had the pleasure of meeting with the coaching group at Dr. Pathak's office last night.......there are monthly meetings for her weight loss clinic, and I am the health coach piece of it......and last night the topic was mental health and the importance of it as a pillar of health.....and the people that came were lovely, and I learned more about the resources our area offers from a patient that had a wealth of knowledge.....and one of the things that came up was something th

I needed this reminder again today and maybe you do too:) I am living in a life that is close to checking the boxes of all I have ever wanted.......I live in a house I love......one that feels cozy and like me.....I have two kids that give me life, and that I adore more than anybody on the earth.......I have two professions that make me feel passion and purpose in my soul.......I feel REALLY healthy.....like REALLY......a connection finally between my mind, body, and spirit..

I have written about dating often along this journey......and I suppose if I am honest I am not really built for dating......or the culture of dating now.......I am a one person kinda gal.....the kind that loves romance, love, monogamy, passion, MY person kinda energy......and the current culture is well.....mostly not that.....and I won't settle for less than all of that and more.....I now expect what I give in love, end of story.......and I think that walk I did on Sunday s

Yesterday was amazing! And it was confirmation, even more so, that I am standing right where I belong......three moms and their kiddos came out to walk......strangers......and the energy between us all felt like magic......it was easy.....and fun.....and their girls were amazing.....and I have trusted each step......every client that reaches out.....everybody that attends a women's series......every single person that is meant to cross paths with me will.....and that has been

I am waking up with roots on my mind......my I Got YOU GIRL walk is this morning.....and I am excited:).....and so much about roots resonate, as I think of it all......the roots that take hold when your belief is so strong in yourself finally, and in your vision for your life........the roots that come from living things.......as I wander in nature, one of my favorite places to be.......the roots that appear when you finally show up as YOU......after fighting it for most of y

Tomorrow it begins......my vision taking shape and flight some:) My mother daughter I Got YOU GIRL walk is tomorrow! This vision was placed on my heart, and in my mind in the fall of this past year......a lightning bolt of inspiration one early morning, that came to me through a series of moments placed in front of me.....and it immediately resonated in my heart.....immediately.....and then the concept and "brand" took shape.....I have people's backs fiercely.....it is who I

My journey has required me to look at trust deeply......having had it violated in the most intense ways......and caused me to ask myself "What makes it possible to trust another person????" Like REALLY..........And I guess I used to think I knew the answer to that question......I used to think spending time getting to know a person deeply would guarantee that they would be honest and trustworthy.....and that isn't true......they can hide a whole part of themselves, or attempt

Remember that show?? Obviously for my title today I am playin on words some;-) But I promise I have a point lol:) One part of my life that challenges me some, are some of the tasks around my big place that need to be done beyond my capabilities, and that start to stack up.....the deep guy stuff ;-) And even as I typed that it makes me feel some kinda way.....because I am challenging myself to decide whether I really CAN'T do something.....or if I just haven't done it YET:) An

There has been a curious part of this story that I haven't explored in my blog yet, so I thought this morning may be a good time to do that:) When I was pregnant with my daughter, I felt great, I was in the "advanced maternal age" category at the time, due to my being 40......a humbling category lol:) Then at the end of the pregnancy, I filled with some fluid.....felt like one of those Thanksgiving Day parade balloons some lol:) All puffy and stuff ;-) But I lost all of the w

Seeking to make somebody else feel bad so you can feel better is..........well......and as more healing has taken hold, not only is it important to pay attention to what others do, it is important to pay attention to ourselves.....and sometimes we exist in a dance with other people that doesn't serve us.....and my self worth is not up for negotiation at all anymore....and I don't deserve to be treated poorly by anybody in my life, and I have relationships that have existed in

I suppose part of my motivation and passion continues to come from the practices in my life that are watering me.....and not wanting to keep it to myself......but it is difficult to really impart that to another person, until they are ready to receive it.....but I cannot really say enough how much I feel meditation has helped me in my life as I have hunkered down into the practice.....it feeds me similarly to exercise......which by the way I have new things going on there to

I wrote the other day about feeling triggered, and did my video yesterday about it some....and it is interesting when you have trauma, and you get triggered....it is often not the thing that triggers you that is significant.....it is the feeling and wound that lies underneath....and for me the wound I have been able to identify that is the deepest for me is one of not being chosen.....it sounds so simple right? And maybe silly some from where you are sitting, but for me profo

It sounds dramatic, but it is true, and has been my experience......since 2018, and perhaps most of my life I have been in a spiritual and emotional bootcamp of sorts.....and the last couple years being the most intense.....forcing me to look at the parts of myself that had been on autopilot, and contributing to some of the pain I have endured.....and challenged to CHANGE it......finally.......once and for all, and close a loop that doesn't serve me and my life and my growth.

I had written a little while back about realizing the parts of myself that are in tension with one another.....a part of me that has always yearned for family and normalcy....whatever that means right;-) But the creation of a home......the tradition of a family......a mom and a dad, couple of kids.....days spent cooking dinner.....playing in the yard, eating on the deck....planning a family vacation......all of it.....and then it was gone.....and I had to rebuild the parts th

I am deep diving in the magic of the connections we make, and how they lead us to the places we are supposed to be......if I had any doubt that that was a thing, and THE thing, I have NONE now.....I speak often about the fact that at any given moment you are standing RIGHT where you are supposed to be....no need to overthink or wonder.....because there you are:) RIGHT on time.......especially if you can face your own stuff and get out yo way;-) This week I took the kids, and

At any given point we navigate life with whatever depth of understanding finds us......and at some points in our lives it is a lot.....sometimes less.....but it is all important.....leading us to where we are supposed to be.....And for me at the moment I feel like I am in a place where so much of so much makes sense......finally.....the seasons I walked through, the times I was challenged.......the times I was called more deeply into myself.....discovering what was within....

In the beginning of my divorce journey I was given a choice.....I was in blinding pain and suffering......wondering often, if I would make it.....the emotional pain taking my breath away.....and I was faced with the choice of how I was going to show up in this story.....was I choosing to take the high road, or sinking into the land of pettiness and ugliness....and as I sit here today choosing to take the high road......and not succumb to the storm at the time was the way.....

Being a female is tough in lots of ways.....I could likely write a whole blog about it lol:) But one of the toughest things is combatting "mean girls"......or more importantly "mean girl energy".......because the truth is most girls, or women that run around spreading mean girl energy, aren't mean at all......they are insecure......they feel powerless.......they are scared.......they are sad.......they feel____________so many things, and the way to regain their power is to ma

Before I discovered that my ex had been cheating, if you had asked me if I would have tolerated that, or taken him back, the answer would have been no......I had already lived that story in a previous relationship......and in my mind that was a no.....but then.....it happened.....and I had a 4 year old.....a 13 year old son with special needs, and the love of my husband......and the love of the idea of our family succeeding......so there it was staring me in the face......thi

Every day my journey requires me to grieve people that are alive.....and I mean from a human standpoint, I am glad they are alive......completely.....but sometimes our journeys require us to watch a person we cared about at one point "die" for all intents and purposes, except for actual death.......metaphoric death if you will.....and I have had that happen in a big way 3 times in my life......having to navigate the grief of grieving a person that is alive......and it has bee
