Recently I had a conversation with a longtime friend about bodies and how health issues show up if we don’t deal with trauma.

She mentioned that our body will start showing trauma via chronic aches and pains or diseases, disorders especially as we get “older”

Everyone has trauma to some degree and it won’t show up in the same way or intensity for everyone.

But I believe it is one component that contributes to aging.

Do some people watching and you may notice how many people move around hunched over, even before being on cell phones all day.

If you don’t release experiences from your body and mind they build up in your body and you can see it weighing you down. 

It’s nobody’s fault, most of us just weren’t taught how to release those energies.

And trauma very often activates the survival mechanism to freeze and avoid what has happened to cause the mental/ physical discomfort. 

Thankfully you don’t have to relive or...

Do you guide your thoughts; or do they control you most of the time?

Many of us were taught that life just happens to us and that even our thoughts are out of our control.

But what if you DO have control of your thoughts, especially where you focus them…

Perhaps you noticed that any attempt you make to stretch past old ways of thinking and being can feel uncomfortable and even like there’s a battle going on within you.

There is actually a battle going on at times.

Between parts of you that think they are protecting you by staying the same and the parts that know you’re safe and it's time to choose differently!

Our choices are influenced by so many factors that there’s no possible way to know them all.

And good thing that’s not required to live a more conscious life.

But it is good to know that most of the triggers will show up from childhood programming and wounding. 

When you find yourself suddenly terrified of being abandoned, afraid...

Is money more powerful than you?

Did your answer surprise you, or not so much?

How many choices do you make based upon how much money you have or don’t have?

I’m not saying go out and spend tons of money you don’t have.

I’m inviting you to look at how you may be limiting yourself in regards to money and receiving in general.

When you give money the power to decide for you this sets you up for a ton of struggles and constrictions.

Truth is; money does what you tell it to.

Before you start objecting and swear that’s not true and you have been telling money to flow into your life and claiming to be wealthy while burning candles on a full moon.

That’s all conscious chatter.

I’m talking about the subconscious repetitive thoughts like money is difficult,

I never have enough, it's hard to get and manage.

People will be jealous and want my money yada yada. Yea, all that stuff. It's in your mind running the show. 

So how do you know...

Do you find there’s a certain person you tend to have regular disagreements with?

Or maybe you always feel like you need to prove your point and keep pushing it way past the comfort zone, even when the other person has clearly blocked out anything you’re saying.

Needing to be right and needing others to agree with your points of view can cause a lot of conflict.

It can stem from not feeling heard in childhood and also witnessing adults communicate in ways that conflict was only resolved when one person folded. 

But what if nobody needs to be right or wrong for that matter?

What if your only job is to really take responsibility and honor how you feel.

I know, it might sound crazy when the world tells us we need to speak up and have the talk.

But how often does “the talk” make things better?

People are mirroring back your dominant thoughts about yourself and them.

So you can certainly have the talk but I suggest you do the inner work to make sure...

When was the last time you cleaned up your home?

I don’t mean the daily stuff like washing dishes, making beds or putting away groceries.

I mean getting rid of things you no longer use or need.

This can be quite a large task, depending upon how big your space is and how much you like to hold onto things.

But, clearing up your space is one of the most powerful steps you can take to change your life. And there are ways to do it so you don’t drive yourself nuts and decide to give everything away!

I’ll share some ideas a bit later…

Everything you have takes up energetic space in your mind.

We each have a mix of emotions attached to each and every item we own.

Some of those emotions feel good and we may smile when looking at certain things.

Other items may hold a negative charge and each time we observe or use those items we can feel heavy, annoyed or depressed. 

Here are some easy ways to get started.

You can use these tips even if you don’t...

Has life been feeling a bit stale or monotonous?

Or have you had a string of things fall out of your life?

Sudden loss of relationships, career changes, a move or even health changes and now you feel a bit in limbo?

Any type of changes, even those you’re excited about can be rattling and disorienting. But they all bring the beautiful opportunity of New Beginnings!

Now, I’m a big believer in the idea that we can choose a new path at any moment, we don’t have to wait for a special occasion.

But, there are times that you will seemingly be pushed way outside your comfort zone.

Instead of automatically seeing this as a negative thing, remember everything is truly happening for you.

I know it might not seem like it when you’re in the thick of things but look back over your life and see how far you’ve come.

If you had stayed exactly where you were you would have never grown into the amazing person you are now. 

I can guarantee that deep down you...

The holidays can be a super fun time to celebrate with family and loved ones.

But, it can also be a time of increased stress, rushing around and an ever growing to do list.

Party hopping and gift giving decisions can lead to overwhelm and suck all the fun out of life.

But, it doesn’t have to be filled with annoyances and dread. 

If you don’t resonate with the above paragraph. Great! Keep on doing what you’re doing.

But, if you do notice yourself kinda hating certain holiday gatherings and particular family members getting on your nerves; the following tips are for you!

• Get clear on what you want- Do you want to go to certain parties or do you feel you have to? List out all the events you are scheduled to attend and mark which ones you are excited about and the ones you’d love to skip. Then give yourself permission to skip them, (without guilt!)

• Expectations of family members- Is there a certain family member that perhaps you rarely...

How’s your relationship with money?

Have you ever even asked yourself that question?

So many of our thoughts and beliefs become normal and automatic that we don’t ever question them.

I’ve noticed in the area of money that many people carry so much shame and judgment that they avoid taking a deeper look, at all cost :-)

You may have an expectation that whatever is going on with your money is not good so why look at it and feel worse.

But what if the opposite is actually true. Dropping your judgments and taking a neutral, curious look at how you’re operating in regards to money can change your life for the better!

It isn’t about how much you make, how much you have, or don’t have.

You could have more money than you could spend in multiple lifetimes or always struggling to get by. The real point is to know your true feelings and beliefs.

Some are considered very wealthy, yet they worry and stress about money constantly.

So the common belief...

When was the last time you felt disappointed?

Not the little letdowns like there’s no more cookies but you were really hankering for one.

But, the big and sometimes blindsiding disappointments that make you question why you bother and sometimes life itself.

Yes, I get it that this isn’t a comfortable topic but it's these types of experiences that are often STILL having a huge impact on your life, even many years after something has happened.

How do you know if past disappointments are influencing your choices in unwanted ways?

You could find yourself ruminating over situations, avoidance, regret, doubt/mistrust of self and others.

There are lots of other ways disappointments can express themselves, but these are some of the most common that I have seen and experienced personally.

Let's look at each one a little deeper.

Ruminating- Examples like catching yourself arguing with someone and replaying a scene from 10 years ago thinking of all the things you’d say...
