It’s Safe to be Seen!
When did you learn being seen wasn’t safe? When did you learn being recognized in a crowd meant being punished? When did you start hiding? When did you shrink into a wallflower? Sometimes it’s a trigger in this life that your soul recognizes as a danger from another life. Sometimes the time you remember in…

How to Set Your Priorities
As I reflected back on 2018, I felt like I spent the year like a golden retriever! It felt like I had a favourite tennis ball, then another tennis ball was thrown and I got excited about that one and chased after it. Then, I found another tennis ball on my way to collect the…

When your Identity becomes intertwined with your Story
Every experience that we have creates a story within our life. Each one of these stories has the possibility of traveling with us – when we don’t take the time to process them, move through them, and let them go. When we hold onto a story, that story can become intertwined with our identity. If…

It’s taken me a long time to post this. This originated in September 2017. Something hit me during a trip to San Francisco. Something unexpected! It started on the Wednesday night that I arrived…we were staying at a hostel for one night and, upon showing up, I discovered we didn’t have a private washroom, as…

What Stories are You No Longer Available For?
We all have stories that we believe to be true. The key is recognizing these stories and knowing which ones are no longer serving you! Ask yourself, a year from now: Reflecting back through your life experiences (without judgment), what stories do you repeat? How annoying is that!? You’re not alone; we all do it. We…

How are you Numb?
How are you numb… In your relationships? In your work? In how you handle your finances? In your body? How are you Numb in Your Life? I had a weird dream where good people turned into zombie-like characters and inflicted harm on others. I had a hard time understanding the dream, until I realized the…
