Isn’t it still an amazing experience when you set off on a path to create something … you do what it takes … and it works out? Reaching the top of the mountain is a great feeling, well worth the effort! But did you ever find yourself going about your life, walking down your path, […]
I LOVE a good film or TV show, that gets me thinking or seeing things in a different light. That opens my heart, expands my mind or imagination in unexpected ways. To me, this is the best in entertainment and art. And this is how I love to coach and support artists and creatives, to […]
I tend to go in many directions in my life … between my own music, my teaching & coaching, my own personal & professional growth, and family & friends. Lately, things have been overlapping more, bringing my different worlds together. And so I thought I’d write a post about my recent music project about creating […]
I don’t mean by religion, politics or cults. I mean … are you brainwashed by your own conditioned mind? Does your own distorted thinking control the choices you make, the actions you take, the way you live? From birth through adolescence our brains exist in theta and alpha states. This means we don’t have the developmental […]

Personally, I wish this was required viewing for high school students and all adults […]
I’m not talking about any elections. I mean, the big lie we each tell ourselves, either consciously or unconsciously, every day of our lives from the time we are small. About ourselves. About others. About life. About the way the world is. Psychology 101 teaches us that from birth till age 7 or 8, existing […]
I have a friend named Joy. I was going to change her name for privacy purposes, but, her name is so relevant to this story. And she has given me permission to do so. Joy is a single mother of a son and daughter, both in their early 20’s. Raising them was an opportunity for […]
I’m following a 40-day journey of healing with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes (author of “Women Who Run with the Wolves”) – to remove 7 common false protections and false projections that we humans use as survival strategies. The problem with survival strategies is, we don’t always move beyond them, to raise our consciousness from surviving […]
