What Women Are Really Like

What Women Are Really Like

by | Mar 8, 2017 | Authenticity

I’ve been told a lot of crap about women throughout my life. People have insisted that… Women are vicious to one another. Women can’t be friends. An office full of women is a chaotic nightmare. This has not been my experience. Instead… Women...

She’s got skills. Leadership skills.

Keira is a confident person. She’s in tune with herself. She knows what she wants and she articulates it clearly and specifically. If she asks for help and doesn’t get it, she asks again and even shows them what she means. When someone asks her to do something that...
4 Steps for Dealing With Difficult Family Dynamics

4 Steps for Dealing With Difficult Family Dynamics

by | Dec 12, 2016 | Boundaries

Fam dram.   That’s my affectionate shorthand for family drama.   Do you have it? Is it keeping you up at night? Busying your mind and making you feel like crap? In so many respects, we are an all-or-nothing culture. We’re either bingeing or starving...
Envision Your Ideal Holiday Season

Envision Your Ideal Holiday Season

by | Nov 30, 2016 | Authenticity

I used to dread planning the holiday season. There are so many competing interests, traditions are firmly entrenched, and expectations are high. Do you ever feel pressured to say yes, just to make other people happy? Do you leave your own expectations unattended while...

Let’s talk about boundaries.

by | Nov 22, 2016 | Self-Care

Let’s talk about boundaries.   Do you have them?   I used to not have them. Like, at all. I wanted to be everything to everyone. The first notable time I set a boundary in my adult life was with my ex-fiancé. Realizing that I had put all my dreams on hold to...

It’s Time to Insist on Our Well-Being

by | Nov 15, 2016 | Self-Care

I feel the message above so strongly. When I was in university, I studied International Relations and thought I’d head into a career in human rights law. I am passionate about justice and equality and dismantling the systems that would keep certain people’s well-being...

My mother did a fire walk, and it blew my mind.

My mother did a fire walk last month, and it blew my mind. She spent the majority of her life living by other people’s rules. One day, she woke up. She inspired me to write this poem in honour of her awakening. I want to share it with you because she’s within you as...
When Feelings Feel Too Big

When Feelings Feel Too Big

by | Oct 20, 2016 | Self-Care

It’s amazing how often we sit in judgment of ourselves. Just because I teach this stuff doesn’t mean I’m over it. In the past two weeks, I’ve gone through a clear call to get back to self-compassion. Here’s what happened. I had a mole that started to look a little...

What Susan Hyatt Taught Me About Saying “No”

by | Sep 21, 2016 | Boundaries

I recently attended a conference where the speaker challenged us to interview 10 people in business who inspire us. The idea is to gather insight about their journey and glean wisdom from those who are a little further along on their business path.   The first...

“How To Be A Woman”

by | Sep 15, 2016 | Authenticity

I’m really passionate about my work. (That likely comes as no surprise.) It’s my soul’s calling to give women a safe space to land so they can consciously create a life that serves them. This is feminism in action on a personal level. I want women to know that they...
