It’s so easy to be busy these days.

But, do you really need to be that busy?

In a world where hustle, pushing and striving are touted as the key to success, you may think so. However, your body may have a different point of view. And it may be giving you messages asking you to slow down.

If you are feeling burnt out, having sleep issues, aches, pains, or anxiety.

Your body is giving you some clear messages that something needs to change.

Being chronically busy is a problem that I see many people experiencing.

But, very few actually want to admit it.

Which makes sense considering the busyness is a protective mechanism used to avoid uncomfortable things. 

Yes, we are all busy at times.

However: needing to fill your calendar to the brim and patterns of overworking and even excessive socializing are a sign that something is off. 

“Feeling the need to be busy all the time is a trauma-based response and fear-based distraction from what you’d be forced to acknowledge and fe...

Do you get distracted easily?

I used to be easily distracted and I would chronically multitask.

There’s nothing wrong with that. I just began to notice that there was never a shortage of someone or something ready to take my attention away from things that truly mattered to me.

I wasted years of my life doing what others wanted and adding great value and support to their world. I’m not blaming them, I simply didn’t know.

I did often feel drained, lost and like my purpose was to be others' side-kick in making their life more enjoyable and successful.

It was tricky because I truly enjoyed helping people and didn’t want to stop altogether.

But, somehow my needs and goals got pushed to the side and my investment of  energy, kindness and time were very out of balance. 

Even things that are important to you need to be balanced. And if you don’t value your time nobody else will.

From constant phone notifications, errands to run, traffic, and making time to eat.

It can all get...

I’m sure you’ve heard of procrastination and you’ve probably done it a few times in your life.

But, did you know that procrastination can be related to a trauma response.

Yes, trauma again, everyone has trauma to varying degrees, it’s just now getting more attention.

Rather than feeling hopeless that everything is a trauma.

Realize that awareness is a power you can utilize to absolutely change your life and habitual patterns, no matter the circumstances.

So, back to procrastination.

There are times you just don’t want to do something and so you put it off.

That's not what I’m talking about here.

I’m talking about chronic situations of things that truly need to be done but you’re allowing them to pile up. It could be work tasks, errands, cleaning or anything really.

Times where you find yourself feeling unable to do the thing.

You may suddenly get very tired and need a nap, feel the urge to call anyone as an excuse to avoid the task at hand.

Things that you actually...

Have you ever had one of those days where you just felt weird?

Not necessarily bad, but definitely not good either.

Recently I was having one of those days where I felt caught in a time-warp and everything felt disconnected and like I was walking through one portal after another.

Sounds fun, but can be exhausting!

I have had this happen before, but on this particular day I realized I was aware of multiple things that were slightly new to me.

My own energy, past experiences coming up to release and pre-processing some clearings coming up in the next few days.

If you’ve done any sort of energy work, bodywork, could even be surgeries etc. you may have experienced pre -processing.

The way I would describe it is like feeling spacey and slightly agitated, but nothing in particular has happened to cause it.

You’ve had enough food, rest, and everything is pretty relaxed but there’s a low level of uneasiness in your awareness.

Noticing time passing by faster, or slower, crying o...

When was the last time you stopped to check in with your body?

How have you been feeling lately?

Do you have a few aches and pains, maybe a chronic condition that you’ve been coping with, or perhaps you feel better than ever! 

Whatever the answer is, make note of it.

And, if you felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to check in, make note of that too!

Our bodies give us feedback about so many things that it can be easy to miss.

But, if you take a moment to slow down each day, or a few times a day, you will become aware of sensations and how they are connected to your thoughts.

Just as your hand lets you know if something you’re touching is too hot or cold. Your body as a whole sends signals in various ways to let you know when you’re out of alignment.

That could be physical, emotional, or mental.

Now, I’m not suggesting you hyperfocus on bodily sensations, but knowing the signs that you’re hitting a limit can spare you tons of unnecessary suffering.

Many feelings you may ...

Ahh family, sometimes you love them, and sometimes you pretend you were adopted by a lovely alien race and are waiting for them to come pick you up and take you out of this solar system LOL!

Seriously though, family can bring lots of beautiful moments and lots of confusion.

Even if you have a mostly great relationship with your family, there can still be many challenges and belief systems that are passed down through bloodlines, physically and energetically. 

One of the most common patterns I see is that of guilt.

Where certain family beliefs have been pushed upon others as a way to control their choices.

Much of this I believe is meant out of love, but is very fear based and controlling.

It feels yucky to have those you love telling you that they basically don’t trust you to navigate your own life and that they know better. 

So now let's check in and see what you think about your family.

Be honest, what do you say and think about them?

Do you notice if you have issues wi...

How do you feel when people pay you?

You may think you love getting paid, which could be true.

But, do you notice with some people you might feel a bit on edge when they pay you?

Perhaps you have scenarios where you have to remind people to send you payment, or feel they are crossing your boundaries.

Or, you might feel guilty, awkward and odd about asking for and getting paid in general.

Firstly, make sure you are being clear about what you expect.

This could be in your business, or maybe you have loaned someone money.

It is important that you know what you are and aren’t ok with before agreeing to things involving money, and anything else.

Next, realize that there is a ton of charge around money on this planet.

As you may have noticed, this world has tons of judgments around money.

Whether you realize it or not you are picking up on others beliefs, fears, and worries about money.

So each time you interact with money you will surely be aware of the energies and stor...

As a young girl I got the message that I was supposed to seek love and approval from outside of myself.

Sure, I was encouraged to be somewhat strong and independent, but not too much, or that would upset others. That my true worth came from others accepting me.

Well obviously that idea made me want to barf and I immediately realized something was VERY off with that way of operating. 

That way of living just wasn’t going to work for me.

I wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to navigate this world but I knew I wasn’t going to let others control me.

I spent years feeling like I constantly had to fight to be myself in a world where everything was telling me to be something else. From magazines, to television, school, and even church telling me something was wrong with me!l 

Maybe you got a similar message that something is not quite right with you and that someone else knows better. Their way of dressing is better, speaking, beliefs etc is somehow superior to yours.

That all feels l...

So you like tarot cards eh?

I bet you’ve had some pretty shitty readings that told you the exact opposite of what you wanted to hear and you maybe shrugged it off, or you felt devastated.

Perhaps you became obsessive, shuffling and asking the same question or going to multiple readers hoping for a new result. 

Many years ago I had a few readings, just for fun, except it wasn’t fun and It really f*ucked with my head for a while.

I thought what they said was just how it was and I had to accept it, but that never felt right.

Thankfully, I realized pretty shortly afterwards that what the reader said wasn’t how I was going to let my story unfold.

It actually made me more determined to have what I really wanted! And I did get what I wanted, actually better than I had initially intended.

Everyone is simply mirroring back your “dominant thoughts” on the subject you inquired about. And if you don’t like those thoughts you can change them!

I think tarot and oracle cards are beautiful...

As a child I was extremely creative and loved to express it mostly through singing and dancing, and a little scrapbooking. 

My mom was amazing at drawing and painting and part of me shied away from that type of art because I never thought I could create something as beautiful as she did. 

Fast forward many years to 2016 when a friend took me to a little painting class and I had the most amazing time. I was literally beaming with joy and wouldn’t stop talking about that class to anyone who would listen for about 3 days straight LOL!

I was so proud of the ocean wave with the bird I had created. It was so simple but added so much happiness and joy to my world and changed my life forever. 

After that day I have never stopped painting.

The floodgates had opened and I let myself paint whenever and however I wanted.

I wasn’t trying to be like someone else. Compete with another’s style of art. I simply started painting things I saw in my mind’s eye during sessions mostly.

Lots of be...
