Your Body Knows Before Your Brain Does

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.

What’s the Deal with Doubting Yourself (Ahem...again.)

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?

BABY GOT BACK

BABY GOT BACK

CONFESSION: I like big butts and I cannot lie. Well, I more so like the Sir Mix-a-Lot song. The REAL truth is, it’s my freaking go-to karaoke song. Yes, I know every word. And I bust it out like you would not imagine. Truly, a spectacle to behold. You’re welcome if you are blessed to see it. Recently it’s been in my head. Not because I’ve been going out hitting the karaoke bars - hellloooo, pregnant. But, because Declan’s been sticking his butt in the air, saying “Mama, look at my butt” as he shakes it for all to behold...I have no idea where he learned this. I mean this kid has NO inhibitions.

Twerk it to Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk it.

Twerk it to Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk, Werk it.

Did it bother you that I spelled “werk” wrong? I mean, I’m probably the WORST at grammar and correct spelling, but intentionally spelling a word wrong to be cool like Rhianna is both liberating and at the same time, I want to go back and fix the glaring spelling mistake...like, right now. Anyhow… It’s funny when you start to become hyper self-aware of your sh-tuff. As Dr. Gabor Mate says in his book, When the Body Says No - our book of the month for our Mindful Monarchs Members - “There is no true responsibility without awareness...People are deprived of the opportunity to become truly responsible...The more we can learn about ourselves, the less prone we are to become passive victims.” Discover your ROOT and tap into your reign.

How to Keep Going (EVEN when You’re Seeing Results)

How often do you have a habit or a practice in place that feels SOOOOOOOO GOOD? I mean, doing this thing makes your body feel ALIVE, vibrant...AH-MAZING! But for some reason...somewhere along the way...you just...STOP. DOING. IT. What gives? Fear, duh. Typically, having coached high achieving entrepreneurs and leaders for the pase it’s just because we’ve lost the container of having a fear-based drive to do it. The problem was...YOU SAW RESULTS.

LOVE Lives On Forever

523,600 minutes. The musical “Rent” has been playing on the backtrack of my mind since my dad died. Particularly the songs, “Without You” and “Seasons of Love” - probably more so the latter since Decky loves the song because it has numbers in it. 523,600 minutes. 523,000 moments so dear. 523,600 minutes, how do you measure a year? Each one of those 523,600 minutes is a moment to LOVE. Choose to love and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

What’s Your Life’s Legacy?

Death gives us a very clear reflection of our own mortality. In the past month since my dad’s passing, I’ve seen the beautiful gift that death is. For without death, what is life? It is the end that allows us to assess the means of living. If our human brains could comprehend eternity, we’d have no fear of the beyond or if the infinite or of that word...forever. Losing my dad has allowed me an exploration of my own life and the standards by which I live. Discover your standards and tap into your reign. Click to read the full blogspiration.

What I’m prioritizing this year.

What I’m prioritizing this year.

I used to be HUGE on New Year Resolutions - like the biggest. Since I was 12, there are diary entries with lists, loads of lists...soooooo many lists...of all the things I would be, do, and have in the following 12 months. Problem is, many of the things were always what I thought I “should” do to be enough. You will never do enough to be enough if you don’t believe you’re enough as you are, right now. After recovering from bulimia (and ultimately perfectionism), I stopped the incessant and inefficient list making for a more suitable process - intuition. I started trusting myself.
