May 2017 Be Your Best Year Yet – In Charleston, SC

I didn’t intend on offering a new, in person, group course at the beginning of the year but I’m leaning in where I’m needed and being of service the best way I know how.   A live, local, super small group life coaching and yoga therapy experience is in the process of being created.   I’m not writing a curriculum …

Why Does The Finish Line Keep Moving?

“Shouldn’t I be done by now?” This is a question I get asked A TON! Sometimes this question is related to age. Many students I’ve worked with hold a long held belief that they should have “arrived” in their life by a certain age – most often that age is somewhere between the mid-twenties and mid-thirties and almost always they are at …

The Part Of Freedom That We Don’t Want To Talk About

So you say your want a revolution, well you know… To get free, you have to let go.

Stop Being A Success Vampire

The solution is scary simple. Here it is: 1. Decide what you want and why you want it. 2. Stop waiting for perfection. 3. Take action. That’s it.

Money and Food ~ Financial Anorexia?

How do you feel about money? I used to get anxious just thinking about earning or saving money, paying bills, and asking clients for payment. One day I realized that the way I felt about and acted around money, was strikingly similar to the way I used to feel about and act around food. I ran into the kitchen and proclaimed to …

Do you ever swing off center?

Going with the flow is great… It can allow you to have some magical experiences. A few years ago my friend and I drove my breaking down Miata convertible across the South East to a bluegrass and arts festival to see my favorite meditation teacher and the man I was (and still am) in love with. We pulled into the …

When Eating Disorders Are Not About Beauty

It seems that talking about eating disorders and positive body image is en vogue lately. Stories of recovery, calls for help, and encouragement to heal are splashed all over social media and major online publications. The stories that I am seeing are heartbreaking. They are all from individual perspectives, and yet they have a lovely sense of sameness. It is …
