I have a genuine question.  Is it possible to speak up about inequalities and social problems without being labeled as ‘lecturing’ or ‘being on a moral high horse’?  You see it everywhere when someone advocates for needed changes or discusses problems in society and potential solutions, there is undoubtedly a cry of, ‘Oh you think […]

We’ve all heard the term used to insult and degrade those who support progressive values – ‘Oh you think you’re so woke!’  It’s even progressed to a ‘woke mind virus’, giving it an even sharper jab that insinuates infection, brainwashing with new ideologies.  ‘Woke’ of course, is short for ‘awake’.  At its base it is […]

Western Culture over-simplifies the ease of problem solving.  In Western culture you are told that in order to be successful, reach goals and problem solve, you need to ‘pull yourself up by your bootstraps’ and ‘just do it’.  If someone is struggling in society to function in the way we would like them to, we […]

Anybody who knew me leading up to Trump’s last election in 2016 and throughout his first term knew that I was a fairly vocal advocate and participant in civic conversation both online and in person.  I remember in January before the election people thought I was crazy when I was asserting the high chance that […]

Last week I drove up to visit my Dad in a tiny town in the Northeastern part of California, the part of California that everyone forgets about.   A part of California that wants to secede from the state actually, along with parts of southern Oregon and northern Nevada – to become ‘The State of […]

I’m bringing back the good old blog post with an update, since I’ve been extra quiet online this year.  I’ve been savoring my newfound freedom in self-employment, doing some much needed rest and reveling in deep personal joy like I haven’t felt in many years.  If you follow me on IG you know I turned […]

Today I’m sharing a case story with you from one of my recent graduates from Mindful Soul School who took the VIP Track with me.  This is just one of many client experiences that have had their lives changed by learning Mindfulness practice with me.  I will include her direct quotes in quotations so you […]

A New Operating System for your Mind, Body & Soul If you’ve been following along, I’ve been sharing about my mission in a 3 part series.  If not, you can catch up by reading  ‘Are You Self-Aligned?’ which is Part 1 about the importance of women having a positive relationship with themselves in order to […]

Why we will always need feminism: My Mission Part 2 My business is dedicated to serving women, so today we’re talking feminism (cue a flurry of eye rolls and unfollows).  It’s OK, that response makes a lot of sense and I’ll explain why below.   As I’ve mentioned before, I believe strongly that if we want […]

How Mindfulness helped me burn it all down. Last week I walked off my last day at my 9-5, working as a licensed therapist in a government agency doing public service.  After 15 years working as a LCSW mental health therapist & social worker I am stepping back, and it feels like closing a huge […]
