What Tulum Taught Me About Manifesting More Success

It took me THREE DAYS to completely turn off. In one of the most beautiful paradises I’ve ever been to, it took me three whole days to leave the computer locked in the tent and to pack the personal development books back in my suitcase. Three whole days—lost to the illusion that one can be “on” while simultaneously turning “off.” Tulum, with all of its beauty and magic, taught me how to relax again. And I’m not talking about the kind where you kid yourself by having one foot in and one foot out—I’m talking FULL ON RELAXATION. The kind where you melt into one of the canvas beds propped...

Three Powerful Shifts From Rich Litvin’s Coaching Intensive

Explore, Reinvent

Before we left the Intensive to go back to our lives and a world that didn’t expand like we did, Rich encouraged us to sit with our experiences and our insights—to keep them to ourselves and let them shift how we show up in the world. He encouraged us to let people FEEL our expansion, rather than talk about it. While I have every intention of honoring his wisdom, I also know myself well enough to know that my expansion integrates more deeply from turning around and teaching. While I can’t possibly fit the magnitude of what I experienced into a single blog post, I can share the most powerful...

What is Your Anchor?

Reinvent

Pursuing and living your calling is one of the highest forms of WAKING UP. When you’re anchored in the world by your calling, you feel a sense of fulfillment that is no match to what any relationship, any drug, or any amount of money from a soul-sucking job could provide. I know this because I’ve experienced it myself. There was a time in my life when I was anchored in the world not by my calling, but by the men I dated. They WERE MY WORLD and I let my life revolve around them. I let them be my purpose—to the point where I became obsessed. So obsessed that I...

Victim vs. Creator: Who Are You Being?

Create, Explore, Reinvent

Hit the rewind button to three years ago, when I was stuffed in a car for thirty hours on the way home from our last stop in Denver. It had been eight weeks since I’d lived a normal life and returning home felt like a cage. {Listen on SoundCloud >>here} I remember watching the tiny beads of rain cling to the windshield and feeling their pain as they were ripped away by the wind. Outside, miles of flat farmland swept by. Somewhere on the horizon of Missouri, with legs folded on the seat and journal pressed against my thighs, my hair stood on end and my heart sank into my...

How Not to Live Your Life {Unless You Want to Be Successful AND Free}

Create, Explore

Today, I’m writing to you from a cute little coffee shop in North Conway. The sky is bright and clear. The air is crisp and freshly fallen leaves blanket the sidewalks. The colors are unreal. Brilliant yellows. Blazing reds. Bright oranges. Being so far from home, tucked away before sweeping mountain views, I can’t help but revel in how grateful I am for my life. For where I am in this exact moment. It was only three years ago that I was a tiny spec on the map of America, puttering my way through the lush beauty of the state of Oregon on the road trip that would change my...

“I’m Not Worthy.” How Bali Shifted My Perspective on Personal & Professional Worth.

Explore, Reinvent

I went to Bali to write my book. What happened in Bali was far greater than anything I had hoped to accomplish. It was a beautiful unfolding of fate—a divine intervention waiting to happen. Sisterhood was forged. Life-changing insight was revealed. What I found was friendship, clarity, and an unshakable faith. I admitted things I hadn’t even admitted to myself. I found answers I didn’t even know I was looking for. It’s funny how travel does that. With every venture into the unknown, a new layer of yourself is revealed. You learn things. You make connections. You see things in a different light. Life finally makes sense and just as...

When Life Hands You Lemons, Go to Bali

Explore

I’m still in shock that I’m flying half way across the world tomorrow… To write my book. In Bali. On a Writer’s Retreat. How crazy is it that dreams you thought weren’t happening for years, HAPPEN?! It all began last Wednesday evening, as I was flipping through the worn pages of my travel journal and came across an entry that stopped my heart. Here’s what I wrote: “I realized, that for the first time, mental illness was absent from my every day life. I interacted with other people like me–driven, motivated, passionate. They were all “normal” people, living a life of their own personal effort. Most were very successful. I...
