Hi Reader, I want to share something vulnerable with you today. I started finding it hard to get out of bed. Each morning I'd wake up and want to pull the covers back over my head, to hide in my cocoon just a little longer. I felt lost. Every direction felt possible - and that was the problem. Too many possibilities. Drowning in overwhelm. No idea where to put a stake in the ground. I had finally reached the income level I'd only been dreaming of. The clients. The cashflow. The "success." And...

Hi Reader, I'm thrilled to share my latest episode of Don't Step on the Bluebells featuring shamanic teacher and practitioner Dr. Marta Niccolai.

Hi Reader, Happy mid-January. It's rather hard to believe we're already here, isn't it? Not just because things are moving so quickly, but also because it often feels like the world is falling apart. The world feels difficult. And we are witnessing unspeakable horrors across the globe — watching the brave people of Iran, the resilience of those facing loss in Minnesota, the uncertainty of Americans waking up to a new reality. It can be difficult to remember that when we're not in the thick of...

Hi Reader, Welcome to 2026! I don't know how 2025 was for you, but for me it was a year of complete change. All the rules, beliefs, and patterns that once felt so solid suddenly fell away, leaving only the core essence of who I am. My family also suffered a great loss right at year's end – we discovered our beloved cat Kala was ill and had to make the impossible decision to let her go. I am still processing this loss and taking my time to grieve. 2025 wasn't always easy, though it helped...

Hi Reader, I sit here staring out of the window, watching the snow pile up outside. I'm in New York, visiting my family for the holidays, and luxuriating in the quiet of the snowfall. Tree branches are covered, with some plants tucking their leaves tightly within to avoid the cold. Birds continue to flit about by the bird feeder my mom has set up outside the living room window. I feel happy knowing they aren't suffering for lack of food on these cold winter days. View from the window in...

Hi Reader, How do you evaluate a year? How do you measure the level you lived, the joy you experienced, the pain you made it through? How does one honor all the highs and lows - in your own life and in the world? It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, worrying about what comes next, and to forget about the dreams you had for yourself. Life will always find a way to pull you back in, so it's up to you to remind yourself of the life you want and continually work your way towards it....

Hi Reader, Here's the thing about waking up: you usually don't choose to do it. It just happens. And you try to make sense of what's unfolding. For me, there was no choice involved. There was a moment when everything felt off—where nothing fit, where I couldn't stay where I was anymore, but had no idea what came next. I kept trying to fit myself into the puzzle pieces of the life I knew. The things that seemed logical. The paths that looked like they might work. Only they didn't. Like putting...
