A lot of times when people call us names or say things like you’re “too much” or “too bold” or are selfish for wanting more, or you’re stupid for being into whatever it is that lights you up...I want you to know this from the bottom of my heart...

It’s Father’s Day in the states which brings up a lot of mixed emotions for me this time round - and it’s not just pregnancy hormones.

One of the greatest gifts I was ever given was the blessing of working 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week, for 4 years with thousands of Pilates clients back when I was just 20 years old.

I have a belief. I’ll warn you…it’s quite controversial. You see, I used to have this desperate, dire fear of being wrong. GASP! NO! Say it isn’t so! From this fear-based belief, it led me down a dark and windy, lonely road to perfectionism. All or nothing. Nothing was ever good enough. 99% = Failure. Only 100% or more.

Ever feel like there’s never enough money? I used to as well. Back when I first started my business I was stuck in a paradigm of “never enough.” “Never enough money.” “Never enough time.” Pure scarcity. As I started to tweak and hone my mindset, reshaping and reframing these beliefs. Money is all around you. It’s in the phone you hold in your hand. It’s the laptop you work on. It’s the person. It’s the coffee shop itself. Shift your mindset and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
Have you ever had that GUT-sensation that felt like a warning...and you didn’t listen? It’s like watching a suspenseful horror movie and you KNOW not to go through that door. Maybe you even scream at the screen - but still, the character goes in...and, well, you KNOW what happens. 🤦🏼♀️ How many times has your “gut-brain” been sacrificed at the expense of “logic?” I’ll be honest, I didn’t always trust my intuition. Heck, I reeeeaally didn’t trust my body for a while there - hello, 10 years of bulimia. Discover your body and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
I remember when Spike showed me this classic Bob Newhart sketch - he’s one of my fave comedians. Watch it in the link if you want to enjoy it without the spoiler. 😉 In the bit, Bob is a psychologist and this patient comes in with this fear of being buried alive in the box. He lets her know that’s the session. She is amazed, excited and eager to get started. I mean, talk about the MAGIC PILL right? A solution in 5 minutes, sounds too good to be true, RIGHT?

When I was younger I used to PRIDE myself on being busy, “Better busy than bored,” I’d announce, beaming at my packed schedule with massive gratitude.I looooved what I was doing. I felt in alignment, so being “busy” never bothered me because it fueled me on a soul level (and work also allowed me to escape dealing with things in my romantic relationships - but that’s another story for another day). It was about a year into teaching Pilates that I was blessed with a paradigm shift around “busyness.” Discover your real priorities and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.
“Do you fling yourself off a cliff and expect to fly to Hawaii?” I asked my client.She stared at me perplexedly, “Um...no...I would die.”“Exactly!” I exclaimed.You see...Having worked with 5,6, and 7-figure entrepreneurs for the past 4 years, and having been an entrepreneur for the past 12 years, I’ve found the number one reason why people start their own businesses - freedom.

I was watching a documentary on Freud as I had my lunch. It was a day when Decky was in Pre-K and Spike was at the gym, so I could watch what others would call in my house “boring docuseries” or things that aren’t really appropriate for a three-year-old. Freud’s influence on modern culture is undeniable - from how we think about sex to how we think about ourselves. And while I’m more of a Jungian gal myself, when you think of psychoanalysis, it’s Freud who culturally first comes to mind. But, on the show, it was hypothesized Freud’s work was in part the catalyst to spark our current culture of narcissism filled with selfies, look-at-me-posting, and pictures of lunches.

Freedom. I’ve been meditating a lot on what it means to be free. What is freedom? Freedom is many things, and like every other word, it has very different meanings to every single person. For some, they feel freedom when they feel safe. For others, they feel freedom when they can make their own choices. Discover what freedom means for you and liberate your definition from plagiarized programming to have it be 100% uniquely yours.
As a Type A, perfectionist, A+ student, I looooooved getting extra credit. Only 100? Why not 110%? Or 115%? Or...screw it...150%!! Yaaaaaas, teacher, please give me the extra work, the extra tasks, the extra assignments. Easy to see how that could easily program one to associate MORE work, MORE suffering, MORE struggle with MORE results, right? Here’s the thing [First Name]... More work just equals more work. And what I’ve seen working with high achievers for the past 3 years, and being one for the last...well, ALL the years of my life...is that so often we make it an even trade: WORK X AMOUNT HARD = X AMOUNT OF RESULTS Where are the miracles, the fun, the joy in that? Where does that leave room for the Universe/God/ Source to show up in more powerful ways than you could have ever imagined?
