With so much information available to help us with our intuition, it can be very confusing knowing which techniques will work best for us.

When I was a teen, I started looking for information to help me understand and use my intuitive abilities better. There were so many books available on the subject I had no idea where to start.

I was feeling excited to learn more about my abilities, but a bit awkward since it wasn't a topic discussed where I grew up.  

I picked up a few astrology books from the library and devoured them and found them to be very fun and entertaining!

Astrology seemed like an easy place to start my journey, so I stuck with that for a while. I did enjoy reading the personality traits of the different signs and finding similarities in the people I knew compared to the examples in the book.

Mostly, the books were pretty accurate, but I often felt that it boxed people into categories of how they must act and make assumptions about their abilities to succeed in l...

There’s often so much guilt associated with self care and a lot of confusion about what it is exactly. Self care is about truly honoring our needs and potential. If we don’t take care of ourselves and our needs first we really have nothing available to give others. Not taking time for ourselves often comes at a price.

Generally women are known to be self sacrificing and always encouraged to put others needs before their own.

Often depicted as the frazzled mother who doesn’t have time to shower or eat and even in the workplace preferring not to speak up on important issues in order to keep the peace, be liked and please others.

Consistently putting us last on our list eventually causes lack of self esteem, resentment and fatigue, amongst other unwanted side effects..

Now we have Selfish.. What is Selfish?

To me selfish is when we constantly do whatever we want without any care or concern of how our actions affect others. We must realize that we are all co-creating our ...

Since childhood other people have told us what to do and when. It didn’t matter if the actions felt right to us or not.  We depended on them to survive, so we went along with it. But those patterns set us up to habitually ignore or go against our innate knowing of what is right for us.

The pattern continues in school where we must do everything the teachers say. At work, it's our bosses telling us what, how and when to do everything. Everyone thinking they know what's best for us and wanting things their way.

Sometimes we go ahead with what they want to keep the peace, be loved and accepted. But often it can be confusing to know what you want. With so many people in our space constantly saying to do this or do that, how can we possibly hear ourselves? Here are some things I do...

1.) Take some time to be alone- no phone, tv, computer. Just quiet time. This way you can start to notice how YOU feel; not how everyone else around you is feeling and pulling on you. This awaren...

It’s easy to be grateful when things are going well. But what if it's all good? What if every experience you have means whatever you say it means?

That even in times of stress and loss you can choose how you view all of it. You have the power to decide at any moment how you think and feel about things that happened even years ago. 

There was a time when I was so filled with anxiety that I was unable to go to school. I was one of the first people in the US to be home-schooled and I continued to be taught at home until I graduated.

I was unable to work, and could barely go out in public.

There was a 3 year period that I only left my home a handful of times, and those times were only to go see a doctor to find out "what was wrong with me."

For years I struggled with social anxiety, months on end of full blown panic attacks and I really couldn't function in life at all. I depended almost entirely on family to help me and was forced to be on disability for many years.
