When I started a private blog a couple of years ago, I didn’t fully realize that I was creating a catalogue of reminders for myself & anyone else who needed to remember the power of our thoughts & how we perceive them.
On a beautiful September day in 2013, I shared this particular experience that highlighted the importance of looking up and around ...

Fear is at the core of where most discomfort we experience in life. It’s fear that keeps us stuck in judgement-whether that judgement is turned inwards towards ourself or projected outwards onto others.
Either way, we can’t move past the discomfort until we confront these judgements head on.
In today’s video I discuss some ways to get out of the judgement loop and into a kinder & more loving place. The more awareness & understanding we can bring to ourselves ...

I was in a traditional romantic relationship with my partner, Sean, for the first of the nearly four years we’ve been together.
During that first year, we were both in mourning, though not always aware of it.
He was recently separated from his marriage, and my identity was slowly being eclipsed by an onslaught of mysterious symptoms depleting my health and spirit.
Despite these circumstances, we attempted to play out the normal dating roles. We had dinner and drinks at NYC’s ...

I repeatedly discuss how our external reality is a direct reflection of our internal beliefs. Here’s a perfect example from my own life that I wrote about just a couple of years ago when I received another lesson in surrendering to this truth.
Since then, I’ve completely deconstructed my entire belief system. It’s only reinforced the fact that it is our perception that rules our outer experiences. But, this did not mean I was exempt from a painful learning ...

The degree of the pain we experience throughout our lives can become much louder when it is kept to oneself. Sexual pain is one of those struggles that millions share in secret, and the quiet shame many carry keeps those in need from seeking help or guidance about what to do.
I’m so grateful to be speaking with Nancy Fish, LCSW, MPH & co-author of the book Healing Painful Sex: A Woman’s Guide to Confronting, Diagnosing, and Treating Sexual ...

Millions of people, including myself up until a year or two ago, have no idea that chronic illness & dental health share a strong connection.
As I relentlessly searched for the reasons why my physical symptoms remained chronic, something kept coming up.
It was the term: cavitation.
I noticed that many of the people who regained their health after a series of Lyme Disease relapses had a surgery to address their cavitations, and not one of them had any regrets or ...
