It’s the middle of the night in New Hampshire and it’s 28˚ outside. I’m sitting up in bed wishing I could sleep but my chest feels tight and every exhale sounds like a high-pitched whimper. Everytime I try to lay down it gets worse.

I’ve never had trouble breathing before but I literally can’t get enough air into my lungs, which feel like an old bellows that I have to work really hard to expand and contract.

I haven’t been able to walk from the living room up the stairs to the room I’m staying in for fear of losing my breath. I’ve been very quiet all day because talking felt like too much effort.

I’m away from home, in an unfamiliar place. All I’m focused on is trying to breathe and not panic. I didn’t know what was happening to me until the middle of the night when I listed my symptoms in my head:

✅ Shortness of breath

✅ Tightness in my chest

✅ Trouble getting enough breath

✅ Wheezing

And realized there’s a name for what I’m experiencing – I’m having an asthma attack….cool.

In many indigenous and ancestral healing traditions, both those practiced today and those our own ancestors practiced, imbalance is the root cause of disease.

In this western culture we’re so quick to medicalize, to try to cut out the problem, when maybe, just maybe our illnesses are on our side too.

Hear me out for a minute

If you believe, like I do, that our bodies are wise and intelligent and our body and brain is more of a bodymind (credit to yogic and tantric lineages who have known and deeply studied this thousands of years before modern neuroscience is proving it) it’s not a far leap to imagine that our bodies may use illness or dis-ease to communicate to us when things are out of balance.

The problem is that we often don’t listen until the prognosis is severe, but our body has been communicating to us, in the ways it can, the whole time – trying to nudge us back into balance. Pointing out things that aren’t working for us, whether they be foods, jobs, relationships, the pac...

As I was putting the final touches on the Moon Wisdom for Modern Women Workshop and creating a bomb workbook for you something pissed me off

Your girl had a moment of second guessing and wanted to double check some resources before getting up in front of you all and preaching the moon gospel, so what does she do?

She googles “moon cycle and menstrual cycle” of course

If you do that right now you will find an entire front page of search results “debunking” any connection between these cycles

Oh maaaan did that piss me right. the. fuck. off.

So I proceeded to yell not at, but towards my partner – he’s basically an expert at moon wisdom now ;)

YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME LENGTH!

THEY BOTH HAVE FOUR PHASES!!!

HORMONE PRODUCTION IS REGULATED BY LIGHT!

THE MOON GIVES OFF LIGHT!

YEAH THEY DON’T ALWAYS “SYNC UP” BUT THAT’S BECAUSE OF LIGHT POLLUTION & PHONES & BEING DISCONNECTED FROM THE EARTH & SHIT HORMONES IN OUR FOOD

SO YOU’RE TRYING TO TELL ME THE MOON ...

Guess what? I just directly invited 404 women from my LinkedIn network to join me in Moon Wisdom! Talk about a major “asking for what I want” edge 🙈

I am so passionate and so clear that this is what I am meant to be talking and teaching about right now that I am taking uncomfortable actions like this to get this message out there!

One of the lessons the moon has taught is that when things are aligned, they fall into place so much more easily and so much more quickly than you ever could’ve imagined.

Moon Wisdom is a vibe, a force and a whole motherf*cking way. of. life.

Before I really learned to implement moon wisdom, my to-do list haunted me everywhere I went and because it never went to zero, I rarely felt proud, accomplished or relaxed.

I felt overwhelmed by all the demands and responsibilities of my life and felt like I had to white knuckle it through my day to force myself to get shit done (hahah alignment – wtf is that?)

There was a good five year period where I was so over...

Before coaching, I made decisions based on what would look the best on my linkedin profile. I lived to please and impress everyone around me, but especially bosses, parents and teachers!

I was so wrapped up in trying to figure out what everyone else thought I should do that I had no f*cking clue what I even wanted.

I spent years of my life living for others instead of for me – that is until I found coaching. Coaching gave me the space to slow down, connect and listen to myself for the first time.

When I did that, it turns out I *did* know what I wanted and my brain showed me clear fleshed out visions of the life I wanted to live – on a farm, with lots of time freedom, helping other people. We're doing 2/3 of that! The farm part of the vision is taking a bit longer ;)

Coaching showed me that under my shyness and insecurity was a powerful, clear, articulate, motivated woman who knew how to take a huge risk to leave her tech job and double down on creating a life aligned with her valu...

When we don’t trust ourselves, we prioritize planning over intention, scheduling every last detail of our life, when really our *intention* is what holds our vision

Prioritizing planning instead of intention is like realizing your body is really sore

then having the thought that you should do a yoga class tomorrow

and immediately picking up your phone to scan the class schedule

only to find yourself scrolling shopping for yoga pants and down a rabbit hole with no plan or actual intention to tend to your body 😳

It might also look like signing yourself up for yoga classes for the next month

then missing most of them because you tried to go from zero to sixty without clarifying why you’re doing this and why it’s important to you 🙈

Intention is what holds us through the distraction, doubt and difficulty ✨

when we don’t want to show up, having an intention carries us through

If we don’t trust ourselves, we’re susceptible over-planning 💥

What if all those times you didn’t follow th...

A million different times in a million different ways we hold ourselves back from what we most want.

We say we don’t know what we want. If we only knew…we could do something about it.

We justify the path we’re on by saying this is what everyone else is doing, this is what we got our degree in, this is what our parents think is right, this must be it.

We get a glimmer of something that lights us up, a new possibility, a new idea that sends a little jolt of energy up our spine, but we say no, no our life is pretty good as it is, people like me don’t do that, I don’t want to risk it.

We actually get a really clear vision of our ideal life. We can see where we are, the people around us and what our life looks and feels like but we’re terrified of what people will think…she did whaaaat!?

Maybe we actually make the leap and try to make it happen right away but it doesn’t come together as easily and quickly as we wanted so we give up and decide that we can’t actually have what we want.

Can we both just admit that you're curious...

You've been reading the emails and hearing me talk about how amazing Radiance Collective is for forevah but haven’t made the leap yet ;)

Here we are just 72 hours out from doors closing for the rest of the year and it's decision time babes!

Here are some questions to ask yourself as you're making your decision

✨ Do you have dreams, ambitions and desires for the rest of this year?

✨ Do you want to grow, evolve and learn more about yourself this year?

✨ Are you unsatisfied with the way your life feels on a daily basis?

If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, sign up! It's going to be great 💋

No matter whether you'd just like to feel 10% less overwhelmed, be able to maintain boundaries with work, get clarity in your love life or feel like you are good enough just as you are to land the next opportunity you're craving...

Wanting something isn't enough to make things happen – we need intention, plans, accountability, and s...

Again and again we hear that the most effective leaders are those who are transparent, clear and direct.

Again and again we’re told “soft skills” are the most important skills for leaders to cultivate.

Again and again we see ourselves drawn to mentors, friends, and teachers because of their realness, and the way they make us feel less alone in our humanity, not in spite of it.

But again and again it feels too risky for us to put ourselves on the line and allow others to see the fullness of who we are – our power and our struggle – perhaps especially at work or when we’re in positions of leadership.

So we hide

Behind whatever it is for us – professionalism, not speaking up, going along with whatever the higher ups say, hiding parts of our personality or identity, overly prioritizing numbers & strategy when we’re actually deeply empathetic and intuitive…

Brené Brown put it perfectly when she said: vulnerability is strength in you and weakness in me.

And what is vulnerability but t...

People all the time are like I have to put 20% of my income in my 401K to use when I'm 70 in the meantime I will marry the wrong person, fuck up my children, work my life away and wonder where the time went 🤷‍♀️

Can we just for a minute admit that conventional strategies for "success" weren't actually designed with your health or happiness in mind?

Like it's totally normal to take out a couple hundred grand in student loans but don't even think about investing a couple grand in getting to know yourself better 🙄

Like it's totally normal to throw 200k down for a house and it doesn't even come with a genie that's going to solve all your problems, or even three of them 🤔

Permission to do wtf you want with your money

Buy a house; don't

Put all your money in retirement; don't

Go to grad school; do it unconventionally

Use your money for things that will improve your life now AND for years to come

If you’ve been feeling the pull of working with me but also a lil cray 😜 for investing i...
