I know what it’s like to be busy and overwhelmed, to be depressed and stuck, to not know when things are going to feel better or even if I could be trusted to take good care of myself.

I remember days waking up monday morning already feeling exhausted and dreading the week ahead

I remember days my to do list felt like it would never end while I simultaneously felt stuck and unable to move forward while zoning out on social media

I remember days white knuckling through work and life, pounding coffee because my adrenals were already shot and I had no energy left in the tank

I remember literal years of my life where I was so burned out and disconnected from myself I dreaded social plans after work, even though I loved my friends, because I was exhausted and just wanted to curl up on the couch at home

Though it’s been a decade since my first experience with moon wisdom, it’s been a slow journey for me to live my life in harmony with my cycles

Bringing the Radiance...

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...

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,...

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 &...

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...

I know things have been hard recently.

Social calendars are filling up. Work’s not getting any easier and you’re pretty worn down.

When everything feels like it’s piling up and the weight is getting heavier and heavier with no sign of release, sometimes the best thing to do is just to be with it.

Just hear me out.

I know you’re already googling getaways to Hawaii and trying to figure out when you can burn it all to the ground, move across the world and take a well-deserved break for once.

Or maybe you’re the type to just tune it all out and dive headfirst into the next binge in an attempt to get some GD peace, quiet and space away from all of your responsibilities.

But what if the thing that could make it all better was actually turning towards it all?

That’s what I’m here to offer.

The practice of being present right here and right now so you taste real freedom and real choice, the kind that comes from deep acceptance and inner clarity.

...

Can you relate to this?

You’re going along doing the things – maybe that’s a job you’re good at, a relationship you love or a family you care for and everything feels great – that is, until it doesn’t.

In 2018 I finished my master’s program, quit my full-time job, and took a sabbatical to travel and be with myself. In 2019 I started my 1.5 year deep dive into coaching and completed my certifications.

And in 2020 I started my coaching business. I coached my first low-fee client, got my first full-fee client, launched my group course Pleasure as Medicine and things kept growing from there!

As I’ve hit this one year milestone of running my business I’m taking time to evaluate.

And here’s what I noticed:

I have only ever run a coaching business during a global pandemic, the worst fire season in California history and the racial justice reckoning of our generation.

Needless to say, it’s been a lot.

It’s been hard...

Have you ever felt like you weren't given all the pieces ?

If you could just find the missing pieces, life would make so much more sense.

I hear you.

My whole life I learned that to be successful, I had to work harder than everyone else and push harder.

If I was tired or worn down, I just had to keep forcing my way through.

But what if that's just one way of doing things?

From where I stand, there are two paths:

Path A - Pushing, Forcing, Fear-based, Patriarchal System, Zero Sum

Path B - Trusting, Deciding, Alignment-based, Post-Patriarchal, Collective

We're all very familiar with Path A.

This is the one most of us have been operating from our whole lives.

It's the path that tells us

More work = More reward

But I'm here to tell you that's only one option.

What if the power of your decisions, belief and alignment could help you have more success by doing less?

I want this for you

More joy, more pleasure, more success, more trust

Less work, less worry, less judgement, less fear

This...

When was the last time you can remember feeling truly confident?

Paint the picture – where were you? what were you doing? what were you wearing? how did you feel?

It doesn't matter if it was last week or last decade, if you can remember a time when you felt truly in your power, comfortable in your own skin and in charge, you know what I mean when I say...

When you feel confident from the inside out, not because of praise or awards, something clicks inside

You feel more powerful than you've ever felt

You feel more free than you've ever felt

You feel more capable than you've ever felt

And you don't just feel this way, you actually are more powerful, free and capable when you deeply believe in and know your own strength!

When you feel confident from the inside out, you no longer have to play the game to work hard to get praise and get stuck in that cycle that sucks your soul and leaves you burnt out.

...but don't get me wrong, you *can* play the game, and you'll be a rockstar at...

I was asking myself this question after coaching amazing women this week who are killer bosses, tech leaders and rockstar moms but underneath they don't feel confident.

Why is it that the most successful among us are the least confident? Here's my take:

Every time you get accepted to a prestigious program or land the next promotion you get a quick confidence boost, but you end up feeling deflated when you find yourself at this next level surrounded by even more brilliant and successful people.

You start thinking: Who am I to be in this group? Am I worthy of this honor? Do I actually deserve to be here? And the unmistakable icky feeling of impostor syndrome sets in.

So what do you do? You work for the next quick hit of confidence!

You kill the next project, earn the gold star and get the recognition you crave to put your impostor syndrome at bay. But you know what happens next, don't you?

You end up right back where you were after that confidence boost wears off, still like an...
