Overwhelm can often be defined simply as WTF. This past week I had a few WTF moments. Overwhelm that stems from the stress and mess we make by carrying too much on our plate that just isn’t working anymore. We haven’t changed a thing and that’s the problem. Situations we hang on…
Are you looking for something different? We all go through this. Phases in our life where we know, we just know, that something has to give. We realize we are ready for a change. It’s okay if we aren’t sure what the “something else” looks like entirely. It’s okay if we also aren’t sure…
The very first time I joined a yoga session it was a complete failure. Wobbling on one leg at the back of the class, I didn’t feel peace or calm. I felt frustration and annoyance because I couldn’t do the poses with ease and grace like everyone else in the room. I was NOT…
My favorite Christmas Day photo features me and a cast of girlfriends celebrating a life abundant with our favorite things: · Sunny weather · Puppy dogs · Pool days · Mimosas · Friends we love like family What’s not pictured here is all the bad-assery each of these women have put into creating…
Yesterday, my workout partner asked me what I do when I need coaching and a little life-help. Even though I’ve got 20 years as an inspiring educator and business owner in my back pocket, I still need guidance in my own life sometimes.

I create experiences that inspire. For twenty years, I’ve combined travel and education into a business that connects fully with others to help them align their purpose, their desires, and their life path in truly transformative ways. These experiences are always meaningful, open-hearted . . . . and sometimes rowdy. 🙂 In the…
I am completely enchanted and, it’s safe to say, undone by the moon. If I or any of my friends are behaving a tad crazily, sensitive or teary, or extra energetic and delighted, it’s the moon, new or full, who gets the blame. We point our fingers in contempt or otherwise clasp our…
“Some days I wish I could go back in life. Not to change anything, but to feel things twice.” ~ Up There are two kinds of airport drop-offs. The first is efficient, the goodbye-I-love-you–be-safe-hug-kiss-and-go drop off. When friends or loved ones help lift bulging bags out of cars, sputter well wishes, and wipe a few…
I distinctly remember hitting the 3-year threshold with my first company, which I co-founded with a business partner in 2011. It was a humid night in Cambodia. I was chatting with one of my managers, ready to kick off our next Leadership Volunteer Program. The streets of Siem Reap offered a chaotic background of…
The lowest point of my Costa Rica Retreat hit me mid-week. Dealing with work-related tech glitches on a hot Wednesday afternoon left me agitated. The humidity and mosquitoes were relentless. The gorgeous bluejays were dive-bombing tables and stealing my food. I needed an energetic and powerful yoga sesh to warrior pose my way into a…
