These posts will share what The Awakened Artist work is about.
I’ve seen this word used by a lot of people. I assume most know what it means when they see it too. But I want to elaborate on what this word means to me. A creative is someone who, instead of reacting to a situation or condition in life, sees possibility in the reality. Seeds […]
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 […]
We all know that darkness is the absence of light. There’s nothing inherently wrong with darkness. Beautiful things arise out of darkness, like the seeds planted in the fertile soil, under the ground, which root and sprout and eventually blossom into luscious vegetation.

Grab something to write or type on and make a list, as long as you can, of all the qualities, aspects, talents you possess that you come by naturally. For example: Being: empathic, radically compassionate, generous, […]
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 […]
You know what steals your life spirit? The stuff that lives in your unexplored blind spots, controlling your life from the shadows, like a frightened child screaming for attention and safety. These unhealed or unacknowledged events, wounds or traumas from earlier life experiences are stuck in your energy system. You likely suffer when something in […]
I was recently inspired by an interview Oprah did with Stephen Colbert on her Super Soul Sunday show. Stephen talks about what motivates him to do what he does, night after night. He may be a silly boy, but the compassionate, deep thinker in him is what I find so compelling. He tells Oprah, “To […]
