We have so much thrown at us every day and expect so much of ourselves; it can be a total joy suck. There is no way one human can attend to, process and respond thoughtfully to three email accounts, texts, WhatsApp, MarcoPolo, Clubhouse, Messenger, LinkedIn, Slack....and that's all before you get to what you need to do today.

Stop. Take one deep breath. Feel your feet on the floor. And try this instead.

If you’re “successful” you should be joyful, right? Not necessarily according to Joy Master, Janine Aurichio. Tune in as Janine and Rachel unpack the relationship and disconnect of joy and success in today’s world.

Nature is my muse and mentor; she has so many lessons to teach if I just watch and listen. This post expands on my top six.

Adjusting to others’ expectations, needs and desires can be soul crushing. Using the tools of Intuition Medicine(R), you can more fully embody and fortify your physical and energetic space.

What will you carry forward from the pandemic? Frankly, going back to “normal” isn’t all that appealing to me. Normal wasn’t so great in many ways, personally, locally, nationally or globally.

Then I remembered y.a.h.o.o. - you always have other options.

For many of us, the ideas of “success” in our society actually leads to all sort of unauthentic and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I know because I was one among. The generally accepted ideas that more is more, productivity is king (or queen), busy is a badge of honor and your value is tied to your output is making us sick.

A daily gratitude practice keeps my eyes and heart on the abundance in my life. As Melody Beatty says, “Gratitude makes what we have enough, and more.” I write gratitudes every night before bed and also text them to a gratitude buddy. Sharing is caring and this is a “we” life.

Ever meet someone and just like their "vibe?" The Beach Boys were onto something. The below concept was introduced at a seminar I attended last weekend and it has had an indelible impression on my mind, heart and spirit.

Well, here we are in a season of gratitude and in the middle of Native American Heritage month. I can't think of a better time to connect with the earth, observe nature and be healed by its beauty.

I believe Beauty is a spiritual principle; that it connects us all and promotes healing. So by coming to know, love and trust the Beauty that is you, you become part of the healing the world so painfully needs.

For the past year I have been doing what I want in a grand sense ~ starting this business, working for myself, moving into a new home with my partner, getting a dog. However, there was still an undertow of "should" to my days ~ I should finish my entire to do list, I should have more clients, I should be on social media, I should not eat Ben & Jerry's (again).

I wholeheartedly invite you to join me in the Feminine Frequency Festival—a global gathering by women leaders and healers, for women leaders and healers—happening Aug 20-28, 2020.

I'm offering an energy healing at Feminine Frequency, Sacred Healing Circle Grounding Meditation happening on Thursday, August 27th @ 5:30PM (Pacific).

I had another awakening last week that I want to share with you to, 1) take away the sting (we're only as sick as our secrets), 2) stay right-sized, and 3) hopefully encourage anyone trying to break an old habit or pattern of behavior. They say to teach what you need to learn, surely I'm no exception...read on!

I spent some time planting pots this weekend, and my partner and I both marveled at how moved we were by the beauty and how touched by the never-ending possibility for beauty. This got me thinking about how beauty heals us, or I will speak for myself and you may take what you like…

They say courage is fear that has said its prayers. My prayer is that I say what I need to say, hear what I need to hear, that it lands with whom it’s supposed to land, and that it is all for the highest spiritual good.

Right about now we're all needing that special, quiet place more than ever, so I captured my thoughts in a video for you. You'll hear about the elements of "sanctuary," why sacred space is so vital to living an aligned, joyful life, and three steps to create your own personal sacred space.
