How my money anxiety kept me stuck in unworthiness (and led me to spending more!)

Our relationship with money is as complex (if not more!)  than our romantic, family, or even food relationships, but they all boil down to the relationship we have with our Self… Think: How worthy you think you are? How deserving? How beautiful? How creative? How lovable?

The Truth About Success.

The Truth About Success.

When I was starting my life coaching business in 2012, I thought I was going to create a website, press ‘live’ and people would just come and find me, because now I had a presence on the internet.

Ohhh boy, was I wrong.

Fast-forward 1.5 years to today and I have a much clearer idea for how the creation of success actually goes down -though, by no means, do I know it all. I am still actively learning every day, every moment. I’m still expanding in my ideas and ideals. I’m still dreaming, growing, working, realizing, emerging, failing, and getting up again. And yes, sometimes I still feel like crying because technology and printers can be stubborn suckers.

I have realized however that it will always be like that. The second I stop evolving, my daily work won’t be my soul’s work anymore.

Last minute holiday tip & why YOU are a fierce loving warrior!

Hello loves,

In the midst of all the holiday madness, I want to write you a quick note for 2 reasons:

First, I want to say a sincere, heartfelt THANK YOU.

During the holidays, I always go into a deep state of reflection and contemplation about my life. This year in particular, I am struck by how much has changed, how much has grown then proven useless, re-shaped, twisted and curled, flourished, deepened and then blossomed into something unexpected and subsequently, often (though not always!) morphed into something even more beautiful and grander than I dared to imagine.

2013 has been a huge year of learning

Want to live an abundant life? Here is how.

Hi Love,

A few weeks ago I asked for your help to identify your biggest struggles and your greatest desires.

For the latter question an overwhelming number of you responded with saying that you want to feel free, satisfied, alive, successful for simply being YOU, optimistic, happy, complete, connected, appreciated, loved, unburdened, peaceful...

As your responses were still flooding into my inbox, I took a walk and reflected on the underlying message of these desired feelings. I kept being struck by this sense that so many of us are living in fear that somehow there isn’t enough…enough time, love, money, good men, success stories, great jobs… we are deeply afraid that WE aren’t enough.

Do you like your own body? 3 powerful ways to feel more beautiful.

Do you like your own body? 3 powerful ways to feel more beautiful.

I remember being a little girl standing on a stool in my mom’s bathroom and looking at my own reflection in the mirror. All I could see were ENORMOUS shoulders, so I asked my mom in my sweet little girl voice if I could get parts of them “hacked off” when I got older. Silly as it sounds, I was serious. I thought I needed them to be smaller.

This is the first memory I have of disliking my body and expressing the need to find some way to solve its “unpretty” parts. Clearly I wasn’t shying away from violent thoughts to “fix my body.” As I got older my body complaints and insecurities only grew both in number and urgency. It seemed like I had a special eye that would pick out everything that was possibly wrong and ignored everything that was right.

What’s your first memory of disliking your body? How old were you? Which part of your body did you attack and wanted to fix?
