Leaving NYC: How to deal with the fear of moving

The new year is all about setting big goal and intentions for ourselves, yeah? Well, I’ve got a big scary goal that I’ve been sitting on for a long time… could this be the year it’s finally brought to fruition? I’m talking about moving away from New York City. Not just to travel for a series of months. But permanently. Scary!!!!! Maybe I should backtrack a little. I am originally from NYC – born in Manhattan, partially raised in Brooklyn. As a child we moved all over the east coast so I also grew up in other places but ever since …

Thoughts on death, spirituality and living intentionally

(All photos in this post taken by my dad) December was a really challenging month for me, full of loss, illness, grieving and bed rest. My dad passed away at the beginning of last month, very suddenly though not unexpectedly. Just two weeks after that, I came down with the worst cold I’ve had in years which then turned into bronchitis, keeping me sick for weeks. I spent the month of December more or less in bed, putting a hold on all work and clients, just focusing all my energy on recovering and healing. To top it all off, the trip …

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 …

Let go of the old to bring in the new

How to deal with major life change “To bring in your desired newness, you must first allow old parts of your life to fall away. These changes are to be celebrated, not feared. Give thanks for this shedding of the old. Embrace all of the lessons it brought and then let it go. Be giddy with excitement at the newness of the gifts that are now being bestowed upon you, and let their magic surprise and delight you.” This is from the oracle card I drew on New Year’s Eve. As always, its message was spot on. I have been asking …

What I’ve learned after 2 months of being 100% raw vegan

As a follow-up to my last post earlier this month, I thought I’d take some time to write about several big lessons I’ve learned along the way whilst eating a 100% raw foods vegan diet. Never in my life did I think I’d go fully raw like this, let alone be able to maintain it for months! Yet here I am 2 months in and what’s more, still loving it! If you’re curious to try this way of eating either as a short-term cleanse (highly beneficial!) or even longer, here’s my personal experience so far along with some recommendations. First I’ll …

Some thoughts on masculine/feminine energy + travel pics from Prague

I’ve been hanging out in my masculine for too long. That’s the realisation I came to when traveling through Europe last week. All the telltale signs of being in the thick of it were there: short, shallow breaths, tension in my chest, in my throat, in my abdomen. Being ‘in the head’ and in my thoughts to the point where my intuition sadly took the backseat. I’ve been tossing around the idea of delving more into this “masculine/feminine energy” topic for a while now but have held back, in part because the scope is so huge. This is also a bit …
