My course, Tending the Magic, is now open! If you want to end the year more deeply connected to yourself, with rituals and framework to support you and your loved ones moving forward, I hope you'll join us. If you register by Saturday, 100% of the program cost will go to Maui direct aid.

Today we’re talking about what happens after the catalytic event: dissolving into goo.

You know the phrase, “Back to square 1”? It’s never said as a good thing, is it? Like, “Ooh, can’t wait to get back to square 1!”

But we all end up here. Repeatedly.

I have a present for you. Anne Marie Cribbin, the incredible recovery coach and spiritual mentor, gave me permission to share the email she sent this week. I read it three times in a row and kept thinking: “Yes! This. This is the work.”

Here it is.

A catalytic event is The Moment That Changes Everything.

They come in all sorts of packages, and we don’t generally get to choose them.

But we do get to choose how we proceed when they present themselves.

Three ways to connect to the wisest part of yourself.

If you’re focused on your goals checklist, you might be missing the point.

Whether you’re in a work groove or feeling burnt out, follow these steps to manage your energy before — and on — vacation.

Get out your party hat because I am thrilled to announce the launch of my very first course: Tending the Magic.

This is a 12-week course for heart-centered and highly sensitive people who want to cultivate greater self-trust while bringing more ease, joy, and wonder to the everyday.

Study after study shows that time in nature – sunlight, fresh air, moving water – is beneficial for your physical and mental health. The list of reasons is long, but part of it is how moving through through natural spaces can increase the production of these important neurotransmitters, neurochemicals, and hormones.

These changes have been percolating for months, and I’m thrilled to share them with you.

I'm curious: Is there anywhere you're feeling stuck? If you've been in a rut, I'd like to offer you this:

Maybe it’s not happening because you’re thinking too small.

Whether you have a packed calendar or it’s wide open, the cusp of summer is a great opportunity to practice being intentional about how you want to feel.

How do you want to spend your time?

One of our sessions at the Sacred Nature Retreat focused on earth magic.

We talked about how to work with the energies and planetary rulers of the different days of the week. It led to such a rich discussion and ideas for practical application, I couldn't wait to share it with you.

When you think back on what delighted you this week, what themes do you see? What reinforced what you already knew? What surprised you? What satisfied a deep longing?

One of my big dreams is coming true this weekend when an incredible group of women gathers at Wood Haven, my house in the Shenandoah Valley in West Virginia for the first Sacred Nature Retreat.

Delight is such a powerful compass point for your intuition.

With all the messages we get from society and culture and family, we can lose track of what really lights us up. And when we lose track of what lights us up, we lose a powerful connection point to our essential self.

Here are four of the reasons I'm loving on this diminutive sunflower relative

Over the past few years, I’ve become so attuned to what my body is telling me, and when I try to ignore or override her, she speaks up. (This is a powerful practice I teach to many of my clients.)
