Soul Purpose: What it is, What it’s NOT, and How to Lean into its Exploration
The conversation about Soul Purpose can get confusing and fast. Ironically, it’s pretty far from what I think most people imagine it to be. It has very little to do with what practical thing any person ends up doing in their life for work…

Willpower is Bullshit & Acceptance is Deliverance
This message is a really sensitive point for me. I immediately think back to when I had my son. My first kid. I had no idea what to expect. No idea what I was doing. No idea what I wanted it to be like….
Let’s talk about Wealth, Baby.
The other day I shared a photo of myself on Instagram talking about receiving an email in regards to renewing my Driver’s license. I mentioned that I genuinely forget that this is a ritual and typically when this announcement comes up in my life (like…

When The Tide Recedes: How to Navigate the Valleys of Your Business With Spiritual Maturity
As an an entrepreneur I don’t think anyone can avoid the all too familiar dance of momentous success/expansion and slumps/inertia. Our work is a vacillation between the two on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Of course, we ALL desire to only see…
The Ultimate Reset: How a 21 Day Detox is Changing My Life
Let me begin by saying I’m only on day 5. FIVE. I still have 16 days left and I already feel like a completely different person – frankly, I’m a little alarmed imagining who I’ll be come day 21. Lady gaga?! Madonna!? Who knows!…

Mastering the Sacred Hustle
As 2016 quickly comes to a close, I am again in deep contemplation of the year that has passed and how much has happened, has been created, has been survived, etc. The beginning of 2016 met me with my first small child in arms,…
![[BEFRIENDING • MY • HUNGER]
Years ago I wrote a blog about this concept while fulfilling a 21 nutritional reset program.
During the 21 days I came face to face with one of my greatest - unknown to me- fears: feeling hunger.
Until that moment I didn’t realize how uncomfortable hunger made me feel. How quickly I would rush to remedy that feeling upon the first inkling that I MIGHT be hungry. How much I would obsess over scheduling events and outings around snacks and food to avoid feeling hungry.
Can you relate?
I felt like a SLAVE to food.
Recently I decided to revisit that practice and have been allowing my body to feel full blown hunger before eating. This typically involves no snacking, way more water, and full meals.
In 3 days of this practice my body feels light, strong, and I feel a whole new awareness of my body and mind.
Such a simple practice. So valuable. You can read the blog on my site, scroll down a bit and you’ll see it.

Carried around my neck,
A reminder that I came here
Not just for me - but for you.
That I came here not just for now,
But for always.
That WE came here,
Able to serve
To uphold
To transform
With love
In love
For love.
I named you,
My beautiful team,
The Movement of Love.
So that, every action you take,
Be fueled with it
Led with it
Infused with it
Living it.
I gave you each,
My beautiful teammates,
The very sacred duty
Of walking the world
A love ambassador of the most high.
Reminding others
Of their power
Divinity
Ability
And Grace.
I lead you,
My partners,
I serve you,
My soul contracts,
I am forever in love.
May all beings be happy,
May all beings be free,
May I have the courage,
To serve them in spite of me.

![[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]
It wasn’t until I decided that feeling good in my body was more important than immediate comfort that my weight dropped.
It wasn’t until I decided to focus on my IMPACT and MISSION instead of what other people thought of me that my business exploded.
It wasn’t until I decided to stop feeling like a victim of my circumstances that my tenacity skyrocketed.
It wasn’t until I decided.
They were just decisions.
Small ones.
Big ones.
Collected, compounded, expanded.
You are just a few decisions away from a totally different life - where is your mindset?](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/1316061c476292a4454c2dc60dba8871/5DB95612/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/p640x640/66344564_483061742495370_4512848941302207138_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com "[MINDSET IS EVERYTHING]

![[OUTSIDER]
At birth, born with a condition that kept me from activities other kids could freely do.
At 15 came out to a family that harshly rejected me and created an environment of shame and secrets.
In my 20s chose a career path that was criticized by peers and family alike as being “beneath” me.
Outsider.
Most of my life was spent on the outside looking in.
I told myself it didn’t matter. I was strong enough. I could go at it alone. I didn’t need approval. I didn’t need anyone but me.
Until I contemplated suicide postpartum. Until I found myself holding this perfect baby in my arms and wanted to drive my car off a cliff at the same time. I could no longer tell myself I was okay alone.
This is when my life broke open. When I was sheltered in the truest love. The truest support. The truest purpose I have ever felt.
Now I get to offer this to other women daily. I get to hold them, speak life into them, cast vision over them, lead them, mentor them.
No longer outside. I welcome all of you who still feel this way. There is a different way. A stronger way.
Looking for 10 women who are ready to build community businesses that empower and uphold LOVE. If this is you - message me. 💕 #community #postpartumawareness #healing #love](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/5dd57db68d1de3d892cfb0f0fa741550/5DE69C9E/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/66605793_121348212462263_2736245172450732869_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com "[OUTSIDER]
