Do we unconsciously block our happiness?

I’ve been feeling disconnected for much of this year. 2018 has been good to me in many ways – I had a phenomenal routine going earlier this year and felt like the productivity queen with everything I was getting done. I cleared out a ton of limiting beliefs which led to some huge manifestations. I traveled to Central America and Iceland (my 4th Iceland trip!) and got to experience the freedom of living and working on the road. I’ve finally been able to start settling down into the new phase of life I’ve been craving. But my dad’s illness has thrown …

How to cope with grief, loss and depression

As a followup to my very raw and personal post last week, I wanted to touch on the topic of grief more and some things that have been helping me weather not only this difficult time but many other losses in the past. Grief and depression are emotions that I’ve felt acutely familiar with over the past year and change, first with the loss of my longterm home, then with the loss of my longterm pet rabbit Alexi, and now with what’s going on with my dad. Grief is such an overwhelming and devastating feeling. I won’t say I have all …

What to do when you feel like crap

Every so often I experience one of those total OFF days. I wake up groggy having not slept well, something I ate the day before didn’t sit well and my digestion is dragging, my mind is foggy and all I feel like doing is staying in bed. I try to journal it out but the words aren’t coming. I try to get some work done but I keep getting distracted… by literally everything! The hours pass, I feel like a total slug and nothing of any real value is getting accomplished. Realising this, I feel even worse but still can’t seem …

Things that I’m afraid to say

This year feels all about authenticity for me. All about moving to a place where I can speak my truth, embrace transparency, and express myself in ways I feel like I’ve been holding back on out of fear. This has been THE biggest challenge for me throughout my life. I grew up believing that to acknowledge one’s fears and doubts is to make them more real and give them more power over us. To me it was a sign of weakness, not strength. It’s interesting how all the internal energy work I’ve been immersing myself in lately has unearthed this huge …

How do you know if you’re ready?

Right now, tell me something big that you want in life. It could be anything. Maybe you want to travel the world, live in another country, quit your job, move to a new city, start your own biz, pursue your passion, develop yourself more so that you can rise above all your blocks. Maybe you want to live more freely and have a freedom-filled lifestyle. That was my biggest dream. How do you know if you’re really really ready to go for it? It took me about 5 years from the start of wanting my own business and a life on …

How to stay organized and get stuff done!

Reader request! In my last newsletter I mentioned some of the processes I’m using to set up my 2018 and help reach some of my goals. I also opened up the floor for any blog post requests. A reader emailed saying they struggle a lot with staying organized and wondered if I could provide any additional tips. YES – I have a bunch! Although let it be known, it’s not really in my nature to be super organised. This is something I’ve had to learn over time – and I learned it because I was getting increasingly frustrated with the problems …
